[QUOTE=Grim Joker;23712673]Yeah, I know. Well, no, actually, according to Halo Wars ONI knew about the flood 20 years prior to Reach. Also, I meant in Firefight or Multiplayer in some form, if you had read my post.[/QUOTE] Beep wrong. Only the spirit of fire found the flood and they were lost in space.
Is there still a budget in forge? I hated that, I'll be the judge of whether or not my map is too laggy. I also hope there are no restrictions for vehicles on certain maps. Like no Scorpions in Foundry. I don't care if I can only move it 2 inches and Bungie thinks it's unbalanced.
apparently the bugdet goes beyond 5000 or 10,000 which makes sense considering the map size

[QUOTE=texanderson;23722436]the main reason why i love the halo series is because its one of the few games were there's never "one weapon to rule them all" you actually have to use the weapons the right way or die horribly and look like a fool[/QUOTE] Well actually, the fuel rod cannon was pretty strong and didn't have very many flaws, but it was mainly single-player only...

Even though it's quite a bit slower to play, the search for "power weapons" echoes of the gameplay of Quake, Doom, and Unreal Tournament. When people look at this as a bad thing, they tend to gloss over the balance issues associated with starting with whichever weapon you please. Don't get me started on people complaining about Halo being "unrealistic."

I so want to be able to forge elephants.
Im gonna do pirates using fixed walls a few feet under the water but deep enough to kill the player. That is if we can spawn elephants.
Really really want to pre-order this.. even just the regular edition I just want the game on release. I can't wait to run out into the new environments and see that big halo run up into the sky just like the good old days. =D
We should've asked Bungie about forging elephants while they were still making Reach.
Yeah I'm only getting the regular version. I really don't need any extra shit. Just my Recon and I'll be gooood.
PC Halo's i have to say are better, but Halo 3 and ODST are fun but i got bored really fast, i bought both pc disk halo's (they have map makers) which was awesome and you can add mods, custom models etc etc...
New screenshots [url]http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=257971[/url] 2 words......Space ostriches
For some reason, when I try to play halo 3, I can get into maybe one match, then it kicks me from all the rest. My NAT type is open, and I did the xbox live connection check thing, and it said it was fine, so I don't know whats wrong, and I don't have problems with other games either.
Halo: Reach, after looking into it seems better than what I thought. I take back what I say in my comments. It does really look innovative and different. I guess my comment was just a first look. It's looking very good. And maybe I have no reason to hate on ODST. It might just be a bug.

[QUOTE=Arachnidus;23709983]I doubt it. The S3s were mostly dead by this point, and the new class (from Ghosts) was in training on Onyx. Also, OP updated to include the new campaign trailer![/QUOTE] Gamma company had just left Onyx, there were three squads on Onyx during the events of Ghosts of Onyx.

I stopped playing Halo 3 for pretty much a full year. I comeback and all my ranks are still decently high and I get raped; it's not fun. But! I will keep playing so that I am used to the "halo" gameplay for Reach. (I wrecked during the Reach Beta)
[QUOTE=Alan Ninja!;23735013]:hellyeah: I want to kill them.[/QUOTE] So do I but after playing Zelda: and the ocarina of time im never hurting a bird in a game again.
Reach achievements inbound! [url]http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=BWU_073010[/url]
[quote]Killed 7 Moa during the 2nd mission of the Campaign.[/quote] What the hell is a moa? :raise:
[QUOTE=Fusilero1;23737619]What the hell is a moa? :raise:[/QUOTE] I don't know, but it sounds like there aren't very many in the 2nd mission of the campaign.
[QUOTE=Fusilero1;23737619]What the hell is a moa? :raise:[/QUOTE] I hope its one of those space ostriches.
Awesome, they're finally adding some decent wildlife, hoping for some large dinosaurs like in that early footage for the original Halo. EDIT: Bunch of new shit on the website; a list of achievements, more forge world shots, and this... [url=http://downloads.bungie.net/videos/hunterrawk.mov]Dat Hunter[/url]
[QUOTE=Fusilero1;23737619]What the hell is a moa? :raise:[/QUOTE] The space ostirches. Named after New Zealand Moa a ostrich like bird that went extinct around 1400.
[QUOTE=Zezibesh;23733083]Gamma company had just left Onyx, there were three squads on Onyx during the events of Ghosts of Onyx.[/QUOTE] Still highly unlikely to see any S3s but Noble on Reach, the S3s were never meant to be known to anyone but ONI brass and such. I'd expect S3s to be kept the fuck away from any UNSC installations outside Onyx.
