[QUOTE=GaLm121;23835402]I've played Halo Wars, and he's right. It's pretty bad as an RTS. I'd rather play Starcraft over Halo Wars any day, and I'm a huge Halo fan.[/QUOTE] It doesn't matter whether or not people think it was bad. It's a dumb post.

[QUOTE=bionic0n3;23835829]I play Bumper Jumper for Halo 3 but while I played the Reach Beta I noticed it was terrible. The main reason Bumper Jumper is liked is because of it's ability to perform actions needed and let you keep your thumbs on the joysticks. (keeping your aim in combat and able to jump and such) But with the Reach controller layout for Bumper Jumper you spend far more time with your right thumb off the joystick to use armory abilities. <-- Will not be using Bumper Jumper in Reach :([/QUOTE]Yeah they fucked up bumper jumper in the beta. :(

[QUOTE=Killer900;23836161]Yeah they fucked up bumper jumper in the beta. :([/QUOTE] x1 Agree also x1 agree to original post

Bumper Jumper in the beta defeated all purpose of Bumper Jumper.

I was an armor lock guy btw.

Boxer forever. I use melee more liberally than grenades, anyway. Besides, if I'm throwing a grenade, I'm far enough away from the bad guy that reaching for the B button isn't that big a deal. However, when you're in melee range, that extra millisecond you spend reaching for the melee button could cost you.

I wish you could just map the buttons how you like on consoles. Like in The Orange Box. Then the stuff you use most can go where you want it.

[QUOTE=texanderson;23836786]whats a bumper jumper? sorry i have cronic lazyness so i cant go through the whole thread[/QUOTE] Controller layout

[QUOTE=Chicken_Chaser;23837251]Controller layout[/QUOTE] oh that makes sense

[QUOTE=Janus Vesta;23837190]I wish you could just map the buttons how you like on consoles. Like in The Orange Box. Then the stuff you use most can go where you want it.[/QUOTE] The last game I remember that you could use this was Spiderman on Windows 95. But that'd be so fucking awesome.

I'm just wondering, but how many of you guys are getting the Limited/Legendary editions of Reach?

[QUOTE=Revan564;23840368]I'm just wondering, but how many of you guys are getting the Limited/Legendary editions of Reach?[/QUOTE] I'm gonna be getting the limited edition. Not much interested in the Legendary edition.

Normal version..Preorderd mine.

I'm going to get whatever I can. If they have any limited editions left I'll get one, if not I'll get the normal one.

I'll probably get a Limited Edition, but I might change my mind and go Legendary, if I can scrounge the extra cash for it

Got the Legendary Edition, mostly for the statue and Halsey's journal. I'll be enjoying my flaming helmet on the side as well.

[QUOTE=Pat4ever;23842221]Got the Legendary Edition, mostly for the statue and Halsey's journal.[/QUOTE] Does the journal take place before Onyx, during it, or both?

[QUOTE=Erebus.;23842315]Does the journal take place before Onyx, during it, or both?[/QUOTE] Most likely it's a short recap of the events before and during Fall of Reach I'm getting the normal edition, I was never one for paying too much for games no matter how ~speshul~ the content was. I'll be getting it within a few days of the release, unless those jackasses at the computer store decide I broke my GPU and the warranty is void. Then I won't be playing Halo since I gotta fix my computer :saddowns:

I got the limited. I didnt want the statue but I wanted all the other stuff.

I've preordered the legendary, mainly since I really like the box and that I'll be getting a flaming helmet, the other stuff to me seems pretty neat.

I wasnt impressed when I found out the box was cardboard.

Standard edition for me, if the limited contained a proper, hour long Making Of with good behind the scenes footage, I may have gotten it. I'm a sucker for that stuff. Not so much for memorabilia.

Now I wish they had first person for all vehicle seats. It's not fun being the warthog passenger and have to shoot in third person.

I also like that you can carry people with the objective in it still. Although the pilot was shit, unless the Falcon is going to be hard to drive, but I doubt it.

Blind wolf The Blind wolf was a T-rex/Raptor thing that was going to be in halo or halo 2. It was to be like a 3rd party on the ai code team list..meaning it would not bother you unless you annoyed it by shooting or jumping around it like a idoit. It was also going to be mount-able. However bungie cut it out due to making a vehicle/npc would take more time to code and that bungie had a strict timeline thanks to micosoft. The Blind wolf however is mentioned in the Halo 2 map with the train..the voice on the speaker will call out every few minutes "Will someone come and collect thier little blind wolf toy" With Halo Reach comming out i do hope they make a suprise entrance.

Well the big Reach lizard monster rancor thing sure seems like it could be the blind wolf Anyone remember if this is an old ARG or whatever or is this some new shit? [url]http://enkidu.bungie.org/[/url]

In the limited edition of Halo 2 they show the making of some stuff from Halo:CE. They showed the blind wolf working as a mount but it didn't have any AI and just stood there when it wasn't being rode. They also had a machinegun on the mongoose before they let a second passenger on board. The machinegun was useless because it only fired forward and you had to steer at anyone you wanted to shoot.
