The Halo Thread - Games - Facepunch Forum

[QUOTE=devon_wargod;23648471]Now it's a certainty: Halo Reach will last me as long, or even longer than TF2.[/QUOTE] I haven't been this excited about a game since...the last Halo. Still, hell yeah.

[QUOTE=KingKombat;23649298]:buddy:[/QUOTE] :buddy: indeed. By the way, where does everybody live? I'd like to get some launch party sites mapped out for us all, if anybody plans on going to one. Personally, I don't have school the 14th, so I'm clear.

[QUOTE=fish puncher;23650324]I pre-ordered off of Amazon so I'm not going to a release party, but I ordered it with release-day shipping.[/QUOTE] Second, Amazon is the way to go; they've never failed me.

I know I've said this already but I WANT THAT FORGE!

I'm going to pre-order from Bets Buy online to pick it up in-store. Apparently that's the only way to get the Recon or something. I don't know D:

Pfft, Recon Armour. People these days sre spoiled. In my day all we had was Mark V armour and a stick. And we had to share the stick.

[QUOTE=Janus Vesta;23652864]Pfft, Recon Armour. People these days sre spoiled. In my day all we had was Mark V armour and a stick. And we had to share the stick.[/QUOTE] I remember Mark V like it was yesterday Ah, Halo 3 customization

[QUOTE=Ninjarooster;23647032]http://www.bungie.net/images/News/Inline10/072310/forky/forky.jpg I hope this isn't late.[/QUOTE] What I'm saying now is late though. There is a video on Waypoint of someone driving one. Reach is going to be the first Halo game I've bought since Halo 1.

I just pre-ordered the limited edition.

The only thing I can say right now is: I FUCKING WANT REACH!

Is halo reach going to have a long campaign or is it going to be like ODST?

[QUOTE=imaguy;23654733]Is halo reach going to have a long campaign or is it going to be like ODST?[/QUOTE] No it'll be 6 minutes of cutscene with a couple action sequences.

Seeing as it's the last halo by bungie it's safe to say it'll be longer than 6 hours.

[QUOTE=imaguy;23654733]Is halo reach going to have a long campaign or is it going to be like ODST?[/QUOTE] Bungie said it would be 'on par' with Halo 3's campaign.

Just preordered Legendary, I oculdn't help myself, this is the last Halo after all. Anyone FP Halo fans in Minnesota?

God I don't even wanna know how much that cost ya....... Enjoy the flaming helmet though, it's awesome :v:

in reaches forge editor can you place non player characters into multiplayer

[QUOTE=Fire Kracker;23655268]in reaches forge editor can you place non player characters into multiplayer[/QUOTE] Most likely no.

[QUOTE=violencE-ALT;23655176]God I don't even wanna know how much that cost ya....... Enjoy the flaming helmet though, it's awesome :v:[/QUOTE] Haha, I sold my first 360 after I bought an Elite 120 gb thats like brand new for $75 (lol, stupid kid at school) so that cut down the price. The flames are cool , but I really bought it for the journal, statue and behind the scenes videos that they haven't announced much about yet. Ahh... I remember the good old days when limited editions only cost $5 more. And they were still $5 cheaper than the vanilla versions of the games now! (Halo 2 Limited Edition MSRP 54.99 USD)

[QUOTE=Xionasis;23655509]You also get more extra stuff now, though.[/QUOTE] With Halo yeah, but games are $10 more expensive even without limited edition which is bullshit. Back on topic, I wonder why they made the behind the scenes documentary or whatever it is downloadable rather than having a hard copy. I suppose you wont lose the disc or have it at least. Kinda screws over people without live though.

I pre-ordered the Legendary Edition and the Limited Edition Reach Xbox, because I needed to upgrade to a Slim anyways and I figured this would be a neat way to do it. $550 I'm gonna make it rain on Bungie on September 14th.

The slim has no real improvements except eye candy, and it scratches discs.

[QUOTE=BurningPlayd0h;23656785]Why do you have to upgrade? The slim has no real improvements except eye candy, and it scratches discs.[/QUOTE] It scratches disks if you move it, as does the original Xbox. It also comes with two controllers, far more memory, and makes Shield Charging noises when you open the disk tray. It also makes active-camo sounds when you press the power button. You cannot deny that it sounds awesome.

[QUOTE=BurningPlayd0h;23656785]Why do you have to upgrade? The slim has no real improvements except eye candy, and it scratches discs.[/QUOTE] The old xbox scratch disks the same way, that point is invalid, why people keep bringing it up I don't know. But it also has built in super fast wi-fi, 250 gb HDD, special design, new touch buttons, and custom sounds. It also comes with two controllers.
