[QUOTE=fish puncher;24147975]Did you wanna play?[/QUOTE] Right now? Sure.

[url]http://www.xbox.com/en-CA/reach/event.htm[/url] Did you guys hear about the cool canadian Reach event? Fuck yeah, I'm torontonaian and I preordered.

[QUOTE=GaLm121;24147089]Honor Guard Elites were the most bad ass elites to date, even if all of the gear was for show: *huge Honor Guard image*[/QUOTE] The only enemy more epic than that is the unofficial "boss" of the level "Gravemind", the Honor Guard Councilor: [img]http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/halo/images/8/81/Honor_Guard_Councillor.jpg[/img] Sure, he only existed because of a glitch in the code (kind of like the "Needler Sentinal"), but he still looked epically awesome and intimidating.

Hey, I just realized, I don't think Bungie has stated whether Reach will run better from the HDD or the disk. It was the disk for Halo 3 and ODST, but that's only because the engine was optimized for it. Now that they've practically rewritted the engine, which one would they prefer? I'd love it if it ran just as good or even better from the hard drive, I want to save my disks.

[QUOTE=Grim Joker;24146732]Actually, the first mission of the game is Noble Team investigating a sabotaged communications relay under the impression that it was insurrectionists, but to their surprise it was The Covenant.[/QUOTE] Can't be on Reach then, because the first sign of the covenant on Reach as the fucking huge invasion fleet that appeared.

[QUOTE=RayvenQ;24152491]Can't be on Reach then, because the first sign of the covenant on Reach as the fucking huge invasion fleet that appeared.[/QUOTE] The units you find are sort of a scouting party. How they got past the obital defence grid i'll never know.

[QUOTE=P1X3L N1NJA;24152869]How they got past the obital defence grid i'll never know.[/QUOTE] Bungie logic. They don`t have to follow the books :P [editline]08:32AM[/editline] anyone notice in the 'ViDoc' (its more of a trailer) the close up of Jorge has very low res textures? Also whats with the Emile hate on the Bungie Forums. Also why do people think hes black? He could be anything, besides Emile I believe is a Latin American name

Well he almost sounded like Cole from Gears of War so that may be why.

[QUOTE=Tk1138;24153334]Also whats with the Emile hate on the Bungie Forums. Also why do people think hes black? He could be anything, besides Emile I believe is a Latin American name[/QUOTE] Because the Bungie forums are filled with idiots.

[QUOTE=Tk1138;24153334]Besides Emile I believe is a Latin American name[/QUOTE] Far from it, its French. Also he probably isnt black I mean look at Jun hes asian but has a russian accent. Bungie.net is full of fucking idiots, they think Jorge is Australian and they say "possible proof" theres no such thing as might be proof its either proof or its not.

Jun has an awesome voice

I finally beat the Library, I really hate that level. Then on the next level I've got one health bar left and there's no health pack anywhere.

It's actually one of the best forums you can go to. They hate the Halo forums as much as we do.

[QUOTE=fish puncher;24159238]I finally beat the Library, I really hate that level.

Then you can pick up a plasma rifle and lower down, a rocket launcher.

I'm kind of disappointed with Emile's voice. I wanted him to be British so I could make Ghost from MW2 jokes about him.

I wanted him to be female. We always get female tech specialists or snipers, never CQC enthusiasts. Or psychos.

[QUOTE=fish puncher;24160423]I think I'll restart then, because I used the shotgun for the sentinels. :hurr:[/QUOTE] That's not really a bad choice. Shotgun can take them out pretty easily.

Yeah, it's not like more than one or two Spartans are from Earth anyway.

[QUOTE=Grim Joker;24160469]That's not really a bad choice. Shotgun can take them out pretty easily.[/QUOTE] Yeah, but I ran out of shotgun ammo pretty quickly. I didn't know about the overcharge thing.

[QUOTE=Zezibesh;24160214]I wanted him to be female. We always get female tech specialists or snipers, never CQC enthusiasts. Or psychos.[/QUOTE] There's Jack from Mass Effect I don't know anyone besides her though.

[QUOTE=Zezibesh;24160529]You didn't know of the plasma pistol overcharge, or you didn't know that it's a one hit kill on sentinels?[/QUOTE] I didn't know of the one hit kill on sentinels. I just had a thought, why can't the Monitor just teleport you to the Index?

Because he's an ass. I think it's mentioned somewhere in The Flood, though.

[QUOTE=fish puncher;24160776]I didn't know of the one hit kill on sentinels.

[editline]02:00PM[/editline] Also, guys, I'm gonna ask that you start spoiler tagging anything relating to Reach's campaign that we don't already know.

We will spoilertag anything that's not released as official information. Asking for more is too much.
