[QUOTE=Arachnidus;23788928]Alright, I'll make a footnote in the OP later about the GT.[/QUOTE] Oh, YOU WILL!

[QUOTE=KingKombat;23788923]oh fuck what the shit is that[/QUOTE] Its god and hes not fucking happy.

[QUOTE=P1X3L N1NJA;23789208]Its god and hes not fucking happy.[/QUOTE] I hope we can assassinate them Ghosts of Onyx style atleast when we attack from above. In other words I want to be on its back and rip the worms out until it collapses. No gore, though, so I doubt it.

Yay, I'll finally have XBL friends who are tolerable!

If I have the cash I am going to buy the Halo Reach console. Plan on buying Xbox 360 just for this game, I have fond memories of Halo and this one just looks fucking enjoyable as all hell.

[QUOTE=P1X3L N1NJA;23789642]Would be cool if you could ram a grenade in there but for gameplay reasons I doubt it would happen.[/QUOTE] Like how you can jack a Wraith and plant a grenade inside? That'd be so badass if you could get on it's back and shove a grenade down it's throat. Or break it's neck. :v:

Wait holy shit is that Bungie scaling things correctly or are my eyes deceiving me

[QUOTE=P1X3L N1NJA;23789642]Would be cool if you could ram a grenade in there but for gameplay reasons I doubt it would happen.[/QUOTE] Well, Hunters are not other players and are not involved in competitive multiplayer so it would work, but it won't be in the game unless ESRB does not need Hunters worms everywhere to be gore.

I love halo, Have had soo much fun with halo 3, but my xbox got red ring of death so i cant play anymore, and why isnt reach comming out for PC!

[QUOTE=the_killer24;23790230]Wait holy shit is that Bungie scaling things correctly or are my eyes deceiving me[/QUOTE] What do you mean by scaling correctly? Wouldn't the correct scale be from the original game? Which came before everything.

[QUOTE=Tk1138;23790420]What do you mean by scaling correctly? Wouldn't the correct scale be from the original game? Which came before everything.[/QUOTE] I was going to say that SPARTAN IIIs are normal height (even obvious from the live action trailer), while SPARTAN IIs are large hulks (obvious really).

[QUOTE=Chicken_Chaser;23790448]I was going to say that SPARTAN IIIs are normal height (even obvious from the live action trailer), while SPARTAN IIs are large hulks (obvious really).[/QUOTE] Let me get this straight. SPARTAN IIs are the ones we'll be playing in Reach and SPARTAN IIIs are basically Master Chief, right? If so, then why were the S3's smaller?

[QUOTE=P1X3L N1NJA;23786551]Would be nice if that Noble six armour was free then it could go on the avatar. Not worth the MS points. Also shouldnt you put the GT in the OP. Just saw the size of the new Hunters and I must say.....Fuck that!

Hunters always seem like bullet sponges to me because their attacks are fairly easy to dodge.

[QUOTE=fish puncher;23791234]Let me get this straight. SPARTAN IIs are the ones we'll be playing in Reach and SPARTAN IIIs are basically Master Chief, right? If so, then why were the S3's smaller?[/QUOTE] No, it's the opposite of that.

If so, then why were the S3's smaller?[/QUOTE] Spartan IIs are genetically modified, abducted when they were children and replaced by flash-clones. They're trained all their lives to be super soldiers. Master Chief for example. Spartan IIIs are ordinary soldiers (but, you know, talented), who were recruited to be pumped full of shit to make them harder, better, faster, stronger. Like (most of) Noble Team.

There IS a Spartan II in Noble Team though, which doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. To my knowledge the vast majority of Spartan IIIs never worked with Spartan IIs, let alone be in regular operations with them.

Okay, I got confused there.

Part of the reason they were taken as children was because of their urge to take revenge on the Covenant.

[QUOTE=Killer900;23788910]Is this the best looking 360 game? This is a serious question.[/QUOTE]Short answer, no. Long Answer, no. Halo has very nice shading and textures. But a lot of games have more top-of-the-line graphics and have fancy pants particle effects, post-processing, etc. A good example of this would be Assassin's Creed or Alan Wake. [u]BUT[/u] imo Halo has some of the most detailed models of any game I've seen.

I now have the urge to shove a live grenade in a Hunter's back.

Interesting enough everyone in Halo Reach MP being a SPARTAN-III could explain why we have better technology (Armor abilities etc.) than Halo 3's SPARTAN-IIs.

Their main purpose was to be fielded against Insurrectionists. Wrong on that count, pal.

I love Amazon, street day delivery is only 5 bucks and now I get to play Halo soon as I get home from school.

I hate the constant "Why isn't coming out for PC?" Learn to accept that there are three different consoles and that the PC isn't the mother of all gaming.

Lol, now that I think about it, the Halo pistol has changed so much in the timeline.
