Halo Reach Thread

Ivory Tower looks really sweet in those screenshots. I never played Halo 2 multiplayer (I started off with Halo 3), so I'm definitely looking forward to playing that one for the first time. Final build or not, that's a really cool looking map.

The map is without a doubt one of my favorite 4v4 maps in Halo 2. I'm hoping for a Headlong, Containment, Relic, Turf and Terminal remake in Reach sometime down the line.

I know it's a lil off topic but I've noticed that halo 3, and odst are pretty cheap to pick up these days... I've honestly haven't played halo in years. played combat evolved on pc when it first came out.... is it still worth my time to pick halo 3 up in preraration for halo reach??? I also have halo 2 for pc though i honestly haven't played it.

I think Halo games are always fun if you have a real life friend to play along with through campaign. You can get Halo 3 used for really cheap now. ODST I think was around $20~$25 used?

Anyway, without the multiplayer aspect of campaign I probably wouldn't have cared to finish it; singleplayer shooters tend to bore me nowadays.

I'd wait for Reach, it's right around the corner. If you have some extra money to burn go for ODST over 3 as it comes with all the Halo 3 MP maps. If you buy Halo 3 now you won't have any of the map packs, which will limit you considerably in match making.

looks even better in a video

ooh shiny!!!

Well I didn't know that. :p Still, they should have credited Bungie somewhere in the video because they developed the game.

Also from watching the video, I can say that the "perk" of kneeling and having a shield if VERY good. That way when the other guy is waiting for the shield to wear off, another guy from your team could possibly come and kill him.

Eh, if that's the case then all of the montages and various other videos on Youtube with Halo gameplay should have the Bungie watermark on it.

I see it as 343 Industries had an advance copy, played a match, recorded one of the players that did well, decided to utilize that for marketing under Halo Waypoint.

Does nobody remember the months upon months of modders completely dominating the Halo 2 matchmaking system why honest people had to sit and wait for Bungie to do something? How about the rampant standby button problem rendering online games pointless. Does nobody remember that even their magical "banhammer" system was flawed and never caught everyone. I can specifically remember running into the same cheaters and modders 3 months after the fact that they had their ban system online. And once again you can do nothing but file a complaint on a worthless feedback system and be forced to go find a new game.

Ahh Those were the days. I really miss bridging.

zomg so sexy, I can't wait any more :cry:

That map is 10x better than Midship. Love the changes to the original idea.

It's not even close a midship remake, more like derelict in a covenant setting. Reporters misquoted bungie about it being a midship remake.

    • I'm not unblocking my camera for this crapola. Sorry, Google.
    • Ummmm that is what is it supposed to do. Just turn if off in settings if you do not want it analyzing your open tabs. Chrome does the same thing with Gemini. Sarfari will do the samething after Apple's AI and even more so with the release of their 27 versions that is now powered by Googles LLM/ML models. Understanding why it is doing it and how it can help you vs jumping to some conspiracy theroy is a much better approach. As long as it can be turned off, all is good. Yes the default should be off but the a lot of people would never discover these features.
    • Just another reason (aside from many others) not to use Edge. Firefox 153.0b5 DEx64 has a similar feature added recently in prior builds that I will turn off at some point when I get around to it. It's the new "Something looks suspicious" page that pops up here and there. It cleverly hides itself between web pages that I've actually visited; as a result, you know, of selecting a web page and telling the browser where to go. The interesting thing is that it does not produce these warnings from pages that I, as the only intelligent user of the browser in my system, have ever directed the browser to open! What seems to be happening is that the browser looks at all the goofy ad links on a web page I do actually open and selects one that "looks suspicious" and then creates the "something looks suspicious" web page, which is neatly inserted, as mentioned, between web pages my RB ("real brain") has directed the browser to load in a session. The thing is, I usually look at links I am considering to follow before I ask the browser to load them, and in cases I have noticed where the link does indeed look suspicious, most of the time I will choose to not follow the link at all. Doesn't everyone do this or something similar? I am picky about what I voluntarily load... (I don't like links that start off fine, with a site designaiton that seems normal enough but then is followed by indecipherable alphanumeric strings many, many lines long, etc. I tend to reject those because they look suspicious. They may not be, but I don't care... I'll stay with Firefox, of course, if for no other reason than they usually let you turn off the junk you don't like. And because it isn't Edge... But at some point Microsoft will come to realize that putting your bookmarks on the left side is a Good Thing for a lot of people, just as Microsoft discovered when it had the bright idea of nailing the Windows taskbar to the bottom of the screen, when for decades Microsoft browsers had left that placement up to the user. They have finally reversed the obscenity of that decision. Finally.
    • Google was using the old CATPCHAs data to train their LLMs. What is the say they won't use this camera data of users to train their LLM? these companies need some strict regulations!
