Hah, I saw some Reach Beta video where a guy threw a plasma grenade at the gravity lift on Swordbase, and it was there jumping up and down for 3 minutes 34 seconds until it stuck someone. Longest stick ever I think.
I remember trying that as well in the beta, but either no one walked into the trap, or it didn't stay there for long.

They say it somewhere in this 20 minute stage demo that they experimented with the idea but its not as great as you would think and it won't be in multiplayer. All it looks like is a simple arcade fighter mini game that would not be very exciting in multiplayer anyway.[/QUOTE]
That's a bit disappointing to find out. I don't think it would've been very hard at all for them to find a way to get the Sabre into multiplayer. They could easily have set up maps that are in space that have boundaries in matchmaking variants preventing you from getting to the Sabre launch pads. This would allow you to be able to enable them in custom games and modify the maps with big set pieces through Forge 2.0. Hell, it could even be a Firefight exclusive map.
Imagine a battle going on in space while you fend off attackers in the station, and how a transport slipping by could tip the battle into their favor, creating a new spawn point, or maybe the attackers could hit a part of the ship, causing part of it to be separated partially (creating a zero-gravity portion/taking away an area for the defenders to camp). To balance that out, the defenders could lead an assault on the enemy ship that would disable their hangers for a short time while Engineers repair it. A lot more could also be done to make it more fun, but seeing how it isn't gonna be in MP there's no point in continuing.
I guess it was just a bit too much to hope for.
So when are we gonna try Endure/Annual?
Or I can even help people get Deja Vu as I know where to drive now.
Also the sabre is the least thing Im annoyed about.
Im upset that they had to cut buttons, doors and elevators due to time contraints.
I can do it sometime this afternoon (CST here), I have to go into the office this morning and help a couple of people with computer issues.

I finished my uploading already, so I'm up for it later.
Still need another person then.
Im sure fish puncher would want to give it another try.
I can't do it for another 3, at the most 4 hours. But I'll be happy to do it.

Somehow I knew the last post I read would be Pixel wondering about me.
I'll be free in a little while,I'd be glad to help. GTs iritated (bad spelling, i know).
A shame there are no spaceships in multiplayer, it would be amazing to have a mad dash to the launcher, then fight some elites in Seraphs launching off of a Carrier, a la Battlefront II. Throw in some objectives on the ground and you've got the best map ever.
yeah, space battle Firefight would be awesome, maybe if we talk about it a lot on the Bungie forums they'll take the hint and make DLC. heh
i'll just leave this here

I'm preordering the limited edition of Reach, but only for the extra physical, I'm probably not even going to touch the bonus armors. For the elite, I'm going to use the Ranger armor, it looks amazing, and probably use the EOD helmet because it looks like a kickass gas-mask instead of Recon.

I'll probably use whatever armor I get until I buy something that looks cooler. It's gonna be annoying buying something after saving up for it, then unlocking more stuff to buy.
I'm preordering it next Sunday, the standard edition. I couldn't give two fucks about the extra stuff to be honest, the game itself is already badass enough.

I'm a sucker for backstory and cool looking boxes. The Halo 2 limited edition tin box was awesome.
The Sangheili ranger looks fucking amazing.

And the EOD too.

I like how the EOD armor doesn't have the separate eye visors anymore and it's actually one full visor.
I might make my Spartan III white so it looks like a stormtrooper.

I liked the split, it made it a bit more bad ass (in my opinion)

I always thought it made the Spartan look really tired.
Yeah, always loved EOD, and will probably use it in reach, maybe swap it with the operator helm to keep things fresh.
So whos up for Deja vu/Annual/Endure in the next half an hour to an hour?
