Halo: Reach

[Carnage1120]

This games actually starting to look good. I never thought I would say that about a Halo game.

I wish I played the beta more.

You never played a Halo game properly before?

I have but I didn't really like them that much.

I played Halo 1 but I didn't find it fun.

I beat Halo 2 and it was ok.

I beat Halo 3 and it's worse than halo 2 and not that much fun.

Indeed. I want the Legendary edition but can't afford it and don't find value in some of the items. Pre-ordering standard should be fine, can't wait for the new maps and physics!

Why don't you just get banned? We don't want to hear your fanboy bullsh*t. The fact you signed up today and are already making comments like that doesn't look good at all

[deathdealer]

I can't wait for this game honestly, I might get live again just for this.

[BUSTED!!!]

So, youre name is gonna be livedealer?

Anyway, can wait for this game too.

Screenshots of the new Bungie.Net service records have been published

 

http://uk.xbox360.ign.com/dor/objects/1427...0095423903.html

 

The amount of stats they show is unbelievable. They also show a sample of the Daily Challenges we will get in Reach.

 

 

EDIT: Just thought I'd give this one a point out; it's like facebook now. You individually tag people in the screenshot

 

http://uk.xbox360.ign.com/dor/objects/1427...?page=mediaFull

 

EDIT 2: Bungie have published pictures of all available visual flairs.

 

 

 

The Septagon – This option returns for anyone who links their LIVE account to their Bungie.net account.

 

The DMR – A pro weapon for Pro members. Get Bungie Pro to bump up your File Share, render videos, and get this emblem. Active subscriptions bought in Halo 3 or Halo 3: ODST carry over to Halo: Reach, of course.

 

Marathon – Play the full version of Marathon: Durandal on Xbox LIVE Arcade to enable the Pfhor Terminal emblem.

 

Halo 1 – Enter your Halo 1 PC/Mac product key to enable this emblem. Each key can only be used once, so you’d better stop reading this and grab that key before your brother does. Since we have no way to validate who has played the Xbox version, this emblem is reserved for that dedicated community of computer gamers, with over 50k unique users still active each month, 7 years after release. Thanks for sticking with us. It’s been quite a ride!

 

Halo 2 – Automatically available if you played Halo 2 for Xbox on your LIVE account before its tearful retirement. If it’s not active for you, no amount of wheedling will change that, sorry.

 

Halo 3 – Take a guess… On the plus side, there’s plenty of time to head to your local purveyor of fine, shrink-wrapped games to snag a copy if you’re the one person who actually reads the news on our site and hasn’t played this game.

 

Halo 3: ODST – Ditto.

 

Assault Rifle – This fine armament goes to anyone who played the Halo: Reach beta a few months ago.

 

Spartan Helmet – CLASSIFIED

 

HALO – Like Blamite out of a Needler, these faceplate options can supercombine. Unlock the emblems for Halo 1, Halo 2, and Halo 3 to get this special emblem.

 

The Star – Who knows? We haven’t come up with a use for this yet. Maybe we will in the future.

Oh good they finally showed off the Visual Flairs, I was sorta hoping for something armour related but that's good too, I think I have maybe 5 of them already, not sure though.

 

I also really like how someone labelled the new Service Record stuff as 'Facebook for Spartans', made me laugh a bit but I do sorta like that. I can't wait for the release of Reach though, it's going to be awesome.

[james227uk]

I'll have the Halo 3 one, the ODST one, the Assault Rifle and the Septagon.

 

I chose Halo 1 and 2 for the wrong platforms. I got 1 on xbox, so no flair for me, and I got 2 on pc, so no flair for me there either

[papanesta]

 

I can't wait for the release of Reach though, it's going to be awesome.

Totally, freaking out myself. I'll be playing this one online as soon as I complete the story.

 

I should get a fair few of the visual flairs.

[james227uk]

Meh, I'll be playing a bit of Campaign, then Forge, then multiplayer, then Firefight.

[Minic]

I'm going to play the Campaign first, then i'm gonna delve into the MP and Firefight then maybe explore with Forge, though i'd rather Forge with others just to try and melt ideas together.

 

I think the Flairs i'm getting are the ones for Halo 1(Not entirely sure yet), 2, 3 (which then bags me another flair) and ODST, for the Beta and the Bungie.net Linking. I really wanna know what they're gonna have the Spartan helmet for though.

[papanesta]

This really made me laugh;

Because, before I left for work, I stole our copy of Halo on PC from his room.

 

So, I should get The Septagon and Halo 1. Halo 2 I have details for on my Bungie account, but I'm not sure it'll be "active", like they say. Halo 3, ODST and the Assault Rifle are definites. So, whether I get the HALO one or not depends on Halo 2.

[james227uk]

Did that Halo 1 copy play online at least once before May 2010?

[papanesta]

I have no idea. Doubt it. Is that a requirement?

[james227uk]

Unfortunately, it is, yes. It's stopped me from buying Halo 1 now to get the flair, since it won't work.

[papanesta]

My brother said he played it online.

 

Wasn't too impressed at me stealing it in case he wants it, but hey.

[Minic]

Did that Halo 1 copy play online at least once before May 2010?

Yep I played it a bunch online way before then, registered it too so I should be good for it.

 

I'm liking the Reach Avatar/Signature combo there paps, it's real nice.

 

Also there is a new ViDoc:

 

 

 

No Bungie interviews, just gameplay and narrative, but it's got a bunch of new stuff.

[james227uk]

Posted the vidoc last page

 

I was a bit disappointed with this one though, when Bungie releases a Vidoc, I'm expecting the Bungie team talking and going over the game's features or development.

 

On the topic of the vidoc, that Vidoc goes against Halo canon. The woman at the end is Dr. Halsey, and according to the books (So I've heard) she didn't know about the Spartan III program, yet in the vidoc she does. I guess the books need to be rewritten, since the game's canon dominates.

 

 

In other news, I don't think these were posted before

 

 

 

 

 

I love the way in number 2 that weapons get dropped down in drop pods

[papanesta]

I'm liking the Reach Avatar/Signature combo there paps, it's real nice.

Thank you.

 

Man, I still want to get those remaining Vidmasters. Waiting for the 7th for "7 on 7". Been working on the meta game scores. Really not that bad, apart from on the longer missions. After that I don't have that many to go, then I can do as much as I can with Halo Wars before Reach drops.

[james227uk]

Halo Wars is a pretty awesome guy, eh? He kills aliens and doesn't afraid of anything

 

In all seriousness, I've been playing Halo Wars too. I'm glad i bought it. I like Halo, and I like RTS games. Halo Wars is both in one

[Minic]

 

Posted the vidoc last page

Oh damn I must've missed that, my bad then.

 

Also the weapons dropping in pods was present in the Beta, it did it during Generator Defence at the start of the game, it usually consisted of a Spartan Laser or a Sniper Rifle, maybe a DMR. I do like it being in Firefight though, sorta makes the whole weapon drop thing the announcer says more literal.

 

EDIT: I don't think this has been posted yet but it's some gameplay of an Assault game on The Cage

Never noticed it was in Gen. Defence. I never really played it much; I found it boring

Yeah I did too, it was 3 on 3 and it never really seemed exciting, it needs to be more player for it some be fun in my opinion.

[papanesta]

I'm thinking of doing the story on Legendary straight away... bad idea?

 

Legendary alone on ODST wasn't actually too bad at all. Just the free roaming parts in the city, really. Halo 3 I did on co-op, though.

[james227uk]

Meh, I'm going through it on Normal first. I want to play the campaign, not spend 5 hours at the same part of the level looking for health packs
