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.

Why does it say 343 Industries on the bottom left corner? They have no part in this Halo.

Because the video is from Halo Waypoint which is from 343 Industries.

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.

Video of the forgeworld ascension remake from waypoint today

The hologram if used intelligently can be really effective, I like it.

lol, I thought the hologram was lag when I saw it on the midship clip... cant wait for this game :D
