[QUOTE=KingKombat;23626557]If they redo Zanzibar/Last Resort [highlight]I will shit my fucking pants where I stand[/highlight] [editline]07:49PM[/editline] Also I've sadly never got to play Halo 2 MP. I never had an Xbox until March (this year) when I finally got my 360. So yeah the only Halo multiplayer I've ever really played was H3 and Reach Beta (which was amazing).[/QUOTE] It's the siren song to Halo, King. Zanzibar's coming back, even if it does mean DLC. I expect we'll see every major map come back in some way, and those that aren't will eventually be recreated in Forge. I just hope we get a Sandbox variant. Forge World is great for complex, beautiful and amazingly large maps, but sometimes you just want a nice, flat area to work with. [editline]07:52PM[/editline] [QUOTE=bionic0n3;23626641]Would be great. From what I can see so far Halo Reach looks like it'll be Xbox 360 users multiplayer game for a very long time. Bye bye Call of Duty![/QUOTE] Hopefully, Reach kicks Black Ops' ass in the sales lists.

[QUOTE=Arachnidus;23626661]efully, Reach kicks Black Ops' ass in the sales lists.[/QUOTE] I'd rather keep the CoD kids in CoD.

[QUOTE=Zezibesh;23626827]I'd rather keep the CoD kids in CoD.[/QUOTE] This, my good sir, is a [b]great[/b] point.

[QUOTE=fish puncher;23626934]This, my good sir, is a [b]great[/b] point.[/QUOTE] Indeed. Then, how about we just all agree that Reach is gonna rock in the review area?

I expect a lot of bias in reviews. I mean after Halo is one of the most hated games for it's apparent blandness (what)

This is what I'm hoping for: Reach gets great reviews and turns out to be all that we expected it would be and all the 10-year-old CoD kids either stay with MW2 or go to Black Ops.

I wasn't planning on getting this, but now it's a tough choice between this and New Vegas.

New Vegas does look pretty good, too.

[QUOTE=Ninjarooster;23627450]I wasn't planning on getting this, but now it's a tough choice between this and New Vegas.[/QUOTE] New Vegas looks more like a big overpriced addon if you ask me. They didn't even update the rather stale graphics. Ontopic, Would this be a good purchase for someone who likes to play co-op with a brother and dick around with the Forge? I've only messed with the forge in Halo 3 when I rented it and it was pretty fun. I don't think I could get myself to purchase gold.

Just check out the Reach videos in the OP.

Every game you have full split screen, even online, not just local games. You can play matchmaking with if you wanted. Forge in this looks awesome. If you don't want Gold, you could always have a lan party with like 4 people to a console if you know someone else with it, or just you, your brother, and 2 other friends.

They also have silver playlists, apparently.

[QUOTE=DOG-GY;23632290]They also have silver playlists, apparently.[/QUOTE] Whaaat? Will Microsoft really let them do that?

[QUOTE=Benstokes;23632878]Whaaat? Will Microsoft really let them do that?[/QUOTE] They should. There wouldn't be an Xbox 360 if it weren't for Halo.

[QUOTE=BurningPlayd0h;23632946]They should. There wouldn't be an Xbox 360 if it weren't for Halo.[/QUOTE] You do know there are other games that are better then halo right?

But none of those games had a higher fanboy population than halo. [editline]12:16AM[/editline] I want Halo Reach for it's Forge World.

I wish the announcements were this often for Episode 3 :sigh:

[QUOTE=nerdygamer;23633052]You do know there are other games that are better then halo right?[/QUOTE] Shut up stop trolling.

[QUOTE=nerdygamer;23633052]You do know there are other games that are better then halo right?[/QUOTE] Halo was the launch title for the Xbox. It probably sold more of the console than any other game. Hence, it saved the fledgling Xbox.

Halo: CE is what originally saved the Xbox; then Halo 2 and Xbox Live made it a true platform.

That Ivory Tower map looks awesome, and jetpacks could make it even more fun.

I need to buy gold but I'm poor

The first time I got it, there was a special deal going on and I got it for $40. :smug:

Thank GOD Ivory Tower is coming back! That was one of my favorites in the whole series.

Playing Halo: Custom Edition for the first time in a couple of years, so much fun!

[highlight]Master Chief's Story to Continue[/highlight] [quote]Bungie promises that it will 'follow through' with the Master Chief story following Halo 3, even though they won't feature their iconic character in the forthcoming Halo: Reach. "At the end of Halo 3, and cover your ears if you haven't played it, Master Chief is in cryosleep," explains Bungie's Frankie O'Connor to G4TV. "Cortana has sent a rescue signal, and they are orbiting a strange world. We'd have to be the world's biggest assholes to not follow through on his story."[/quote] [url]http://www.oxm.co.uk/article.php?id=21345[/url] [editline]12:50PM[/editline] Holy fuck you guys [b]shit just got real[/b]

Wait, so will Bungie be concluding the Master Chief's story or 343? Because iirc, they said this would be their last Halo game.

FINALLY /caps
