in game shots look great but Bungie seems to have such a strong track record of lying about what their graphics will be I'm still holding my breath on many aspects of Reach.

I'm really excited about what they are claiming to do in terms of going back to the CE feel, but in terms of visuals I don't think Reach will be anything close to keeping up with other major shooters by the end of 2010. But since when did halo need the pretty bells and whistles to compete?

The franchise does gameplay and online so well they are almost without peer, but they better not get too cocky as other shooters are catching up more and more each year. If they fix the gameplay Killzone 3 could be a really amazing game, or Crysis 2 etc....

i'm just really wishing I wasn't SOOO damn swamped with school work. Why the fuck did I ever decide to go to grad school??? lol

CVG Preview.
If you're playing a four-man co-op Campaign with friends, the game engine can cope with everybody splitting up and doing their own thing, at least to a certain degree. You might take a buddy to clean up a nest of Covenant snipers in one area, then see the other two players fighting in the distance, down on the main battlefield. As in Halo 3, you'll be able to take a party of friends through all of the game's modes, including Theatre, Forge and some as-yet unannounced additions to Campaign that Bungie are planning in order to add replay value.
Man i loved Halo3 so much as i was blasting through it with 3 buddies, cant believe is upping its game so much, whilst not only keeping these great features but adding even more! just amazing.

Rest.

True i had the most enjoyment ever, balsting through Halo 3 in coop.

Hmmm what could it be.
Bungie has said it’s going to drop a massive multiplayer “bomb” on Halo: Reach at some point today.

Creative Director Marcus Lehto made the tease in the latest post on the title’s developer’s blog.
He said: “On another note, I hope you all like the MP bomb we’re about to drop on the world in about a day. Enjoy!”
Could this be the reveal of the “super-secret” multiplayer mode for the shooter that was hinted back in January?
It was announced last month that the shooter’s multiplayer beta would begin on May 3.

lol no I saw that, and yes it looked great I agree. But I think some of the more hardcore halo fans are getting carried away with the graphical praise. I just haven't had time to read all the hands on previews. that is what I was talking about.

I'm really excited about this as it sounds like a combat evolved true sequal, but I also remember the first trailer for Halo 3 and how misleading all that turned out to be. but i do think bungie is gonna deliver a fantastic game as it sounds like they have really taken all the criticisms of Halo 3 to heart and are working really hard on making THE game we have all been waiting for.

Go read all the latest hands-on, its not just Hardcore Halo fans that are saying it, but everyone that has seen it in action, plus there is a big difference between an E3 annoucment trailer and actual pre-alpha in-game footage.

@ DC:

Yeah i wonder what it could be????????????

Looks like a new Reach trailer is incoming?

http://carnage.bungie.org/haloforum/halo.forum.pl?...

Shiska says
Yes, Devin. The entire trailer has been pushed back because one person demanded a podcast.

Also, have you ever considered investing in bridges? Bridges are a constantly appreciating commodity that is often not considered, even in times of economic downturn. I only ask because I have a bridge I am willing to sell, and you seem exactly like the savvy sort of individual that would take this opportunity with both hands. A real go-getter, as it were.

-S
But screw the Reach news.. who's willing to go in with me to acquire that bridge!? I bet it has all sorts of cool Halo info tucked away inside of it.

HOLY FRACK HOLY FRACK!!!

I was never really an MP player but i'm jumping in now, and its just the tip of the ice breg apparently, be sure to watch the 720p footage (still in Alpha)

Halo: Reach’s big multiplayer bomb? A whole slew of multiplayer modes and, for the first time in the series, jetpacks.

Those feature in a new trailer, which is after the break.


The video shows off the new modes, like Spartans vs Elites, Invasions, Headhunter and more. Simply put: we want. And we want now.

The multiplayer beta is due to kick off on May 3, while the game itself launches this fall for 360.

Headhunter was a mode they originally dropped from Halo 2 I believe.

Anyhow, looks to be some very significant changes there. I'm very skeptical about jetpacks personally but we'll see in the beta.

The one thing I'm really hoping for is some sort of Modern Warfare type experience system that's tied into the MP medals. They've already demonstrated they can separate rank/trueskill from XP. The medal system is a good reward system and MW2 levelling is very addictive. They are crying out to be tied together.

How they would handle the unlocks part of it with just armour of course is another matter.

I have no doubt that all the modes annouced and yet to be annouced will be fun and balanced, but no doubt some flaw will be found ;)

Please, no artificial carrot and stick progression. I'm getting enough of that bullshit in Battlefield. Halos ranks and medals are plenty enough rewarding without any of that crap.

Also: It blows my mind that there are Halo fans that don't play multiplayer! That's just silly.

The jet packs give me a Tribes vibe that I've been missin for oh-so-long.

It's just that it's such a major component of what makes Halo popular that it seems wild (to me) that there are some people who have only been on board for the campaigns. I do think that Halo does a better job at balancing those two things, but you've been missing out on the best console specific multiplayer experience out there. Halo (since Halo 2) has always been the complete package. Halo 3 is still (IMO, of course) the best example of a complete multiplayer package on any console. There are other good multiplayer shooters (Bad Company 2 suddenly comes to mind.. though I would never choose to play the console version) on consoles, but none of them are so insanely feature rich.

Oh, and Headhunter is straight out of UT3. God that game is underrated.

Some observations from the Bungie Forum.

God damn this is lookin hot

1. Forward Assasinations 0:13
Assasinations can also be performed form the front?

2. Rolls/Evasions 0:15
You can now roll in different directions.

3. Loadouts 0:18
Not much info on this yet!

4. New KOTH Hill style 0:20
Looks funky!

5. Jetpacks!!! 0.22
Jet Packs FTW!!

6. New Gametype: Invasion 0.44
Is this the super secret gamemode?

7. Replacement for missile pod [Mysterious Gun?] 0.51
Hopefully this won't ruin gameplay like the missile pod did.

8. New Gamtype: Headhunter 0.55
Skullamanjaro Anyone?

9. Active Roster 1.00
?

10. Spartans VS Elites 1.11
Not sure if this is a gamemode or if its just showing off elites in multiplayer.

11. Splosions!!! 1.13
Perfect way to get mulitkills.

12. The Arena 1.19
Probably one of the Beta maps we get to play.

13. New Laser/Beam? 1.20

Posted by: crueldarksage
14. mini bubble shield 0.26

15. Gravity hammers 1:06

Posted by: Doodle
16. Phantoms.
Why would they be in Multiplayer? :D Drivable 0:43
Posted by: XBLDragon029
And about the phantom, I don't think it's drivable, more likely is that in Invasion, you spawn in waves and attack the defenders, like Firefight but without NPC attackers.


Posted by: beese111
17. A new armor ability from the radar jammer 1:04
Posted by: Various People

18. Elites have a green/teal HUD 0:51
Posted by: happyballs

19. Places within a map now have names so that they are easier to identify to your teammates. To see the names, look at the bottom left side of radar.
