[QUOTE=P1X3L N1NJA;23855868]Halsey has been described multiple times as graying with glasses.
You dont take down the corvette solo your with a whole squadron of sabres then the frigate MACs it.
Prowlers do not have active camo, they have eletronic countermeasures and the same special paint they use on the B-2 stealh bomber.

Also the ship from the package is not a prowler. They look nothing alike.[/QUOTE]

Here is the relevant quote:

"The UNSC prowler Wink of an Eye...moved into its proper position and reappeared, only visible because its active camouflage skin could not keep pace with the churning red and orange surface of Viperidae behind it..."

Even if it did have just paint on it, I am pretty sure that in 500 years they would have something more advanced than the paint we use on stealth bombers now.

[P1X3L N1NJA]

Thats not the kind of camoflauge im on about.
Prowlers use photoreactive panels which change colour not bend light.
Also its not just paint its refractive paint.

Prowlers rely more on counter measures and going dark than gimicy chameleon shit.

The ship in The package was A. not a prowler its been confirmed B. Used some sort of field around it to make it invisible.

Also does anyone else find it weird the Revenant only has 1 passenger seat for such a large vehicle.

[QUOTE=GaLm121;23855340]That does sound too good to be true. It can hold at least 3 (Pilot, 2x Gunners), and it looks like there's some room in the back for more (So maybe 4-6?). The first cinematic trailer for Reach had Noble 6 getting out of a falcon, then the rest of the team getting in one.[/QUOTE]
Oh, I just remembered: Bungie officially said in one of their Weekly Updates that one person would drive, two people would be gunners, and four people could sit in the back. I'll try to browse and find out which one it is.

[P1X3L N1NJA]

Falcon holds 5!!!!
Not 3, not 100 but 5.

1 pilot 2 gunners 2 passengers.

Err.... not that I don't believe you, but where did you get this info?

[P1X3L N1NJA]

Theyve said it like ten thousand times.
All demo's its been in thats the first thing they mention.

Bungie.net is the answer to all problems and the home of fags who still think its funny to say "Its cOLD in here"

[QUOTE=P1X3L N1NJA;23856462]Also does anyone else find it weird the Revenant only has 1 passenger seat for such a large vehicle.[/QUOTE]

The Revenant seats 2, one driver/gunner and one person. Like how the Mongoose is.

That operator helmet looks pretty cool.

[P1X3L N1NJA]

Thats what I said "1 passenger" meaning it holds 2 people but the size of it you think it would hold 3.

I like the community there. :saddowns: Well, I like The Flood at least. It is by far the best Internet community I have ever been a part of. Sorry, Facepunch. You came close :v:

Sorry, guess I misread it.

[Sgt.Kiddles]

[QUOTE=nightlord;23854495]Is that going to be like you have to get them before reach comes out?

I've just got about 10 Halo 3 achievements [annual and some free for all ones] and just the firefight ODST ones left.[/QUOTE]

I'm pretty sure you can get them anytime whether it being before or after.

[QUOTE=Veers;23855033]I don't know if Halo: Evolutions would be considered canon, but there were ONI ships that had active camo.[/QUOTE]

I don't think it was active camo, just stealth systems(heat damping, turning off the lights, etc).

Huh. I stand corrected. I think Evolutions was canon, so it doesn't go without reason that ONI might've been toying with AC before Earth was hit.

the package was lame because half of it was just PEW PEW PEW LAZORS and the other half was BOOLET TIME SHIPS SELF DESTRUCTING LOLOLOL

and that prowler thing had an active camo effect

That's what I meant. We got a lot of story and exposition with the other stories, some humor with the Odd One Out story, so we needed some good old traditional Halo fast-paced action. I especially liked the first-person shots that had the HUD on them, it made me smile.

[QUOTE=Orayn;23848961]So let's see...

Amazon Preorder of Halo: Reach = $60 and a $20 video game credit
Dead Rising 2 = $56 - $20 video game credit
Free shipping on everything because my college email address got me a free year of Amazon Prime.

I'm going to have a very good September.[/QUOTE]

Oh shit! Thanks for the idea!

I was gonna turn in some games at Gamestop, but I think I'll do this instead.

Did anyone notice that in today's "Halo Reach Daily Video from IGN" they were playing team headhunter?

In the past Bungie said Headhunter was a Free-For-All Gametype. The fact it also supports teams is amazing. I can see how it'll be a great gametype for competitive play (MLG)

There are videos of Team Headhunter on YouTube, it was in the beta.

Also I was liking the look of EVA before they added this stupid metal thing to it

We can take it off right? It's just an attachement?

Guess I might as well

I really want to start working on that map with the giant tower in Forge, lots of interesting opportunities now that you can lock and phase objects.

Yes, I believe it is, I'm pretty sure I saw the EVA helmet like it usually is in Reach.

[QUOTE=GaLm121;23851629]I just looked at the [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghfJTDEK5jo]falcon gunning video again[/url], and the guy carrying the core was riding on top of it:

What a badass.

Also, how else was he suppose to get it down??

The thing that kind of confuses me, is this stuff is before Halo 1 yet the technology is better...

Reach was a training and R&D station run by the Army. The Pillar of Autumn was a Marine ship, with only standard equipment.

[PGunnii]

Halo Reach has gone golden.

Bungie has said their sweet good byes.

Makes sense, but even Halo 2 and 3..

[shatteredwindow]

Reach isnt that much before halo 1, the books are only weeks, Im guessing the game is a couple months at most, the spartans are newer, they have different funding, they are like a top of the top of the s3's, so it makes sense that they get top tech, and there are only 6 of them so it wouldnt cost that much

[Janus Vesta]

[QUOTE=Adius Shadow;23862879]Makes sense, but even Halo 2 and 3..[/QUOTE]

Halo 2:
On Cairo Station you only had basic equipment as no one really expected the Covenant to board the stations, most of the ships headed straight for the surface.
In New Mombassa you had only the weapons you dropped with from the In Amber Clad and anything you could salvage on the way. You were mostly chasing the Covenant as they ran deeper into the city, which wasn't well equiped in the first place.
On Delta Halo you only had the remainder of the In Amber Clad's armoury.
On High Charity you only had the weapon Gravemind gave you and whatever you could grab.

Halo 3:
Most cities were fucked, devisions were scattered and no one had proper contact. Hell Miranda Keyes didn't know you were alive until you physically arrived at the base.
Most equipment was lost when the base was destroyed, so you had shit weapons on Tsavo Highway and on the way to Voi.
Once the flood attacked the base next to the entrance to the Ark most of the equipment was used to drive the Covenant back, and the Elites had few forces to assist the humans.
On the Ark you only had what was in the armoury of the Forward Unto Dawn, which wasn't a lot.
On Halo 04b you only had what was left in your pelican.

Driving a scarab would be a great thing..then again scarabs are colonies of Hunter worms in a giant metal machine.

[QUOTE=Cheryl Cole;23861755]There are videos of Team Headhunter on YouTube, it was in the beta. [/QUOTE]

In the beta Headhunter was Free-For-All only. The fact it was in the beta is not relevant, I was referring to the fact it changed and is now a team based game also.
