Well there's space battles in Reach so dogfight is probably a multiplayer game mode revolving around that basic principle.

[QUOTE=sltungle;23304054]Well there's space battles in Reach so dogfight is probably a multiplayer game mode revolving around that basic principle.[/QUOTE] I certainly hope so. I have fond memories of flying through space in Battlefront 2.

Space fights sound fucking awesome.

I don't want to disappoint myself in case space battles aren't going to be implemented into the final game, but imagine things like jetpacks in space, hijacking sabres/seraphs, jumping from ship to ship. That'd be awesome. [editline]03:18AM[/editline] Also the new character models are great. I much prefer them to the weedy Spartan players of Halo 3. Bulky, cumbersome armor brings back fond memories.

Halo:CE :flashfap: Halo 2 :fappery: Halo 3 :geno: ODST :effort:

Reach: Not sure if fap?

Why is there all this hate on halo wars? for a console rts it was decent.

[QUOTE=dj0wns;23322978]Why is there all this hate on halo wars? for a console rts it was decent.[/QUOTE] decent?..... [B][U]I REALLY LOVED IT![/U][/B] as for all the hate i dont know it was really fun

I would of liked the idea of infection during Halo 3 production. The idea was to use flood npc's to start out with a Prime zombie (random flood playermodel). If a alpha got a kill the onslaught flow of npc's would upgrade to flood infection forms to combat.

I felt, for a supported gametype, it was a let down. [editline]05:22PM[/editline] [QUOTE=DOG-GY;23303982]It's probably still around. They wouldn't cut something that big.[/QUOTE] Tell that to Halo 2. Guys, hate to be a buzzkill, [url=http://e3.gamespot.com/video/6266242/?hd=1]but it was confirmed that space battles were cut[/url].

[quote]Loadouts Spartans: Scout Guard Airborne Marksman Recon Marksman Expert Marksman Operator Grenadier Elites: Warrior Ranger Zealot Royal Zealot Assasin Dark Assasin Gladiator Champion Assasin Stalker [/quote] I hope all these don't make it into the final game.

Hey OP, all your game images being different sized bugged me so I found some reasonably same sized images for you.

[QUOTE=Banned?;23341583]Hey OP, all your game images being different sized bugged me so I found some reasonably same sized images for you. [/QUOTE] Thanks. Updating them now.

[QUOTE=Arachnidus;23345984]Thanks. Updating them now.[/QUOTE] :respek:

I'm gonna pre-order Reach on my birthday. The Recon, it's so tempting... Anyways my view on the Halo games are basically that I found all of them to be quite enjoyable, each in their own way. I really like playing Halo 3 multiplayer, unfortunately Xbox Live is filled with retards. I wished I could've played Halo 2 back when it still had multiplayer :sigh: [editline]12:56AM[/editline] Also Blood Gulch is back so :gizz:

Is it just me or is the CGI in the Halo Wars cutscenes way better than the ones in the original games?

[QUOTE=dj0wns;23322978]Why is there all this hate on halo wars? for a console rts it was decent.[/QUOTE] Select All -> Attack -> Repeat :effort: It also had shit balance, shit units and a shit story that shat over everything. [editline]09:35PM[/editline] [QUOTE=STREWTH_99;23360789]Is it just me or is the CGI in the Halo Wars cutscenes way better than the ones in the original games?[/QUOTE] There's no CGI cutscenes in Halo.

[QUOTE=STREWTH_99;23360789]Is it just me or is the CGI in the Halo Wars cutscenes way better than the ones in the original games?[/QUOTE] All cutscenes in Halo are rendered in realtime by the engine.

Old game is old.

[QUOTE=York;23361418]All cutscenes in Halo are rendered in realtime by the engine.[/QUOTE] I know that, I was just saying that the cutscenes in Halo Wars look way better imo.

[QUOTE=York;23361418]All cutscenes in Halo are rendered in realtime by the engine.[/QUOTE] Not in Halo Wars, they were rendered.

[QUOTE=Arachnidus;23363181]Not in Halo Wars, they were rendered. And beautiful.[/QUOTE] Fixed.

[QUOTE=Alan Ninja!;23364770]Fixed.[/QUOTE] Oh yes. [B]WARNING: SPOILERS IN VIDEO BELOW![/B] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jX6GLBWYqI&playnext_from=TL&videos=rjSnVst3AE8[/media]

That and more action eye candy.

[QUOTE=STREWTH_99;23361690]I know that, I was just saying that the cutscenes in Halo Wars look way better imo.[/QUOTE] Well duh You think something made in-engine in 2001 would look better than 2008 CGI?
