Yup, Razer's game pad looks amazing. I've been waiting for it rather impatiently since they first announced it.

Heh, just realized something. What with Bungie talking about all the new things they'll be doing in this game, compared to previous titles, they revealed something like Space Combat recently at E3, but then they're also teasing about quite a few more surprises that they feel gamers won't expect.

I still remember that update, can't remember which, where Bungie stated that they were also going to be doing some very interesting and new things with sword combat. I just thought about that remark, and their promise for more surprises, and then it hit me. It seems so obvious that I can't believe I'm just now realizing. I'm guaranteeing that Bungie will, at one point in Halo Reach, have us fighting in pure third person, holding nothing but an Energy Sword. It won't be anything like when you normally pick up an Energy Sword and use it in combat, this will be a whole new gameplay mechanic, just like the space combat.

It may be a level dedicated to just this, or it may even be just a specific fight against a key Elite in the game, but I'm guaranteeing it's going to happen. It may even make its way into multi-player.

Expect blocking, well timed deflects, light combos, dodge/evade, and QTE sequences.

Remember I said this.

I doubt it but, then again, I wasn't convinced that space combat would find its way into Reach either. It'd be a cool addition.

LOL... how could we forget.

Real fans (;P) already experienced updated sword combat in the beta. Are you sure that's not what they were talking about? This isn't the first time that you've extrapolated a wild idea from a few words.

Haha, you never know man, you never know! The world needs crazy people like me. When we are attacked by a vicious alien civilization, wanna know what everyone will be saying?

Holy crap, where's Optimus, you just know he'd have a really creative plan about how we can get ourselves out of this mess. But, by then, it'll already be too late. I'll already be half way to a new solar system with my new hot alien girlfriend. Can't beat em, join em! :P

Hahaha, good job. I just spent like a good 10 minutes drying up water on my monitor lol.

Either way, you got the right idea. There's a good chance I'd know each and every one of the cosplayer's weaknesses, besides just normal social interaction :P

BlackHawk, I'm like Chicken Little. Nobody believed Chicken Little at the start when he told everybody the sky was falling, but in time they all believed. And before they knew it, he was their only hope. Like Chicken Little before me, I'll be the hero yet.

One of the key points is the campaign's difficulty, which, in a change from recent Halo games, gets tougher if more than one person is playing it. For Halo 3 and last year's Halo 3: ODST, the difficulty of the game's enemies stayed the same no matter how many players joined the campaign for a co-op effort (up to four could play together). In Reach, Jarrard said, enemies will toughen if they face more players, exhibiting not just more damage resistance but getting smarter, more creatively using cover and generally being trickier foes. In the earlier games, Jarrard said, a four-player group had to switch to the high difficulty setting, Legendary, and activate some parameter-tweaking "skulls" to get a good challenge. In Reach, a player on Normal can bring three friends into the campaign and have the game adjust difficulty up for the group and then back down if that player resumes the campaign by themselves.

Following Jarrard's logic, I asked if that meant that the enemies in Reach's Legendary difficulty would, during a four-player co-op campaign, be the toughest enemies ever in a Halo game? Or was Bungie dumbing difficulty down? I had it right the first time, Jarrard said. We can expect the enemies in four-player Legendary campaign to be the most devilish foes in a Halo game, i.e. a formidable challenge.

Lets hope they're actually smarter, and it's not just Call of Duty "veteran" style difficulty.

I doubt they'll be "smarter", it would make more sense for them to throw more enemies at you.

They are always smarter when the difficulty is increased in pretty much every Halo game so far, not just COD style harder hitters with laser accuracy. I doubt that will change.

This isn't about the difficulty increasing though. How much smarter do they actually get when you add more players is the question.

That's not what they're claiming at all.

This is some PR crap we'll barely notice and no one can measure and thus we'll hardly see complains about it.

If it's really significantly more difficult we will notice. Halo 3 on legendary is a breeze with four players. I completed it the night I bought it.

I think that's bull and I'm ok with that - I think SP Legendary should already have the best AI possible, no reason to gimp the experience. On the other hand I would have no problems with enemies being able to obtain more bullets/plasma before they die. Though I think the AI will have modified behaviour for coop, but it won't be better, it'll be just tweaked like it was with skulls in Halo 3 - they'll be throwing grenades more often, doing saving throws every time etc.

I lovef the grenade skull in Halo 3, totally changed the game dynamics as you couldn't stay in one place forever :P

That's what I'm thinking. If they can make the AI smarter, why would they hold back on SP legendary?
