Any word on being able to pilot a Pelican? That's probably my only wish right now for Reach.

You can't.

[QUOTE=Janus Vesta;23862701]Reach was a training and R&D station run by the Army. The Pillar of Autumn was a Marine ship, with only standard equipment.[/QUOTE] None on the tech in Halo: Reach is better. The in terms of canon BR > DMR and everything else is the same. The POA had far from standerd equipment most of it was specialized as they were going on a lone dangerous mission to capture a prophet.

POA had special equipment, yes, but the Spartan weapons locker got destroyed before anything from there could be taken. That's why you have to use standard issue equipment in the first Halo.

Except the god pistols of course. Also I just got banned from Bungie.net apparently it was for flaming on a thread I dont even have a post in. Funny shit.

[QUOTE=Janus Vesta;23863111]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.[/QUOTE] Damn, that line of thought explains just about everything in the tech-leaps between games. The Battle Rifle was just barely out of it's "beta" phase and into standard production, so POA would not have much of those aboard. And those that were never got in the hands of MC. It's a bit odd though that there were no MA5Bs from either Cairo station or Amber Clad. And no Spartan Lasers from there if they were available to grunts... [ See: Dutch].

[QUOTE=hl2poo;23865134]Hugeass was fucking badass.[/QUOTE] damn those longswords were so OP with their mega-missile-spam ability

The Battle rifle came in around the 2540's, in terms of canon it was probably on the POA Bungie just hadnt thought of the BR yet. The MA5C still technically exsisted in the battle canon wise, however it wasnt in the game due to Bungies new approach of weapons. And the Spartan laser wasnt thought up till Halo 3 so how could it be in Halo 2. They didnt think of it in Halo 1 and say we'll wait till Halo 3. Its most likely been retconned so that all the weapons added in Halo2/3/ODST/Reach have always been around and also were on the POA. Like the Halo novels are being rewritten to support the changes in the canon, including the front cover showing master chief with the MA37.

[QUOTE=the_killer24;23870195]damn those longswords were so OP with their mega-missile-spam ability[/QUOTE] I thought for a second you were likening the Longswords to the original poster. lol

...What?

[QUOTE=Zezibesh;23871089]... What?[/QUOTE] Yeah the novels are being revised to fit the new canon. [url]http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100519210960/halo/images/c/c0/Fall-o-reach.jpg[/url]

I don't want to buy that stuff again but it seems like I have to

[QUOTE=Zezibesh;23871484]I don't want to buy that stuff again but it seems like I have to[/QUOTE] It has more errors than the first. You know the 2542 error when it should be 2552 in the book? Well, in the "updated" version that's the date is littered in it. I guess the battle of Reach took 10 years. :sigh: Fucking idiots it better be a bad printing. Also, opposed to 300 covy frigates or what ever it is 700 because they took Admiral Hacket's (sp?) hyperbole in Halo 3 (or 2 its been awhile) "The covy invasion on reach was 50 times that size literally and they left the UNSC number (150) the same so now it is completely retarded. There are probably more fuck ups but yeah!

[QUOTE=Fort83;23871728]bungie seems to be trying to milk halo too much. Like i liked halo combat evolved and halo 3, heck i even thought odst was ok for something new. but halo reach? it seems they are trying to milk as much as they can, to me at least the halo thing has been long enough, should have ended with odst or halo 3. bungie should move onto a new project, a new franchise[/QUOTE] They are, this is Bungie's last Halo game their moving onto something new for other platforms too not just Xbox.

This isn't E3 09 where there was a little teaser for Reach where it would be understandable to scream MILK!

They had signed a contract with Microsoft for 5 Halo games, so they had to do Reach and ODST.

[quote]all major platforms, including the PlayStation 3.[/quote] please pc please pc please pc please pc

I was thinking of getting Halo 1 for my laptop. If I buy it, do I have to download custom edition for mods?

Herp flyable pelicans and instakill aimbot wallhax assault rifles are the exact same thing derp

One that made me laugh was "insta killing infinate rockets" Rockets are insta kill anyway.

THAT FUCKING FANBASE hnnnnngh

IMO the reason everyone hates halo is not because the game is shit, it's because the fanbase are all retarded fucks with an IQ of at least -70.

They hate the game because it's cool to hate popular things. If asked what's so bad about it, they'll tell you it's "generic" (whatever that's supposed to mean in the context). If you manage to convince someone that there's way worse games out there, the response is usually "the game is OK but the fanbase is horrible" which is the only reasonable answer. Unless you're not into FPS at all. Also I had to post in that thread. I wonder why it says my account was made this year, I made it in 2008.
