[QUOTE=Grim Joker;24179153]Bungie confirmed it way back, actually. The video was just the first time people heard it, not the first time it was revealed.[/QUOTE] Bungie has revealed everything we know. Doesn't matter if you don't care one bit.

[QUOTE=BmB;24179274]Bungie has revealed everything we know. Doesn't matter if you don't care one bit.[/QUOTE] I mean before everyone started freaking out about spoilers. How about you chill out, bro.

Indeed, I knew about the voice acting too.

[QUOTE=Grim Joker;24179327]I mean before everyone started freaking out about spoilers. How about you chill out, bro.[/QUOTE] Doesn't matter, you are planting expectations that we don't care to have. Expectations are the path to the dark side. Expectation leads to disappointment, disappointment leads to hate, hate... leads to suffering. *ahem* I don't want to know shit, not even small things, I'm dark bro, worked four times in a row, ain't about to mess with that. I kept reading this thread because nobody actually talked about a whole lot of stuff.

Hope they haven't taken the respawning in coop campaign out. Had great fun with my bro playing through the game, tryin all kinds of tactics and stuff when the other player was hiding somewhere. If they haven't taken it out, I'm defo playing the campaign coop with my brother day one.

But oh shit the original Halo CE covie dropships are back! :D

Yeah man, fuck Phantoms, this is the real shit. I still wonder what the middle blue thingie is for, isn't it actually a teleporter? I hope we see that in action.

Reach is going to get me re-hooked on Halo, mainly because of Forgeworld.

[QUOTE=BmB;24181781]Yeah man, fuck Phantoms, this is the real shit. I still wonder what the middle blue thingie is for, isn't it actually a teleporter? I hope we see that in action.[/QUOTE] Supposedly, it was either for appearance or flight stabilization or some shit like that. Regardless, it'll be fun blowing up Spirits.

[QUOTE=BmB;24181781] I still wonder what the middle blue thingie is for, isn't it actually a teleporter? I hope we see that in action.[/QUOTE] What in between the 2 forks on the spirit? Its some sort of gravity device to hold ghosts and other vehicles. You see it in use on assault on the control room. Covenant dont have access to teleporters.

[QUOTE=BmB;24181781]Yeah man, fuck Phantoms, this is the real shit. I still wonder what the middle blue thingie is for, isn't it actually a teleporter? I hope we see that in action.[/QUOTE] It allowed it to carry vehicles. [editline]09:09AM[/editline] Oh, didn't see there was another page.

[QUOTE=Ninjarooster;24178292]I was wondering that too, does he have.... [I]energy shielding?[/I][/QUOTE] I think there was an Engineer nearby because the hunters that were by it were also gaining shields, while some grunts farther back were lacking any shields.

[QUOTE=Pat4ever;24182320]I think there was an Engineer nearby because the hunters that were by it were also gaining shields, while some grunts farther back were lacking any shields.[/QUOTE] This, you see the player shooting at a random engineer that was flying in the air.

[QUOTE=GammaFive;24175216]Abandon the hog? Hell naw, I nade jump that shit across the gap man.[/QUOTE] And then I caught it. :smug:

I kept reading this thread because nobody actually talked about a whole lot of stuff.[/QUOTE] You're in the Halo thread, and you're freaking out about information that pretty much almost everyone knew and isn't a spoiler. You're doing a pretty bad job at trying to avoid spoilers.

[QUOTE=Grim Joker;24185466]You're in the Halo thread, and you're freaking out about information that pretty much almost everyone knew and isn't a spoiler. You're doing a pretty bad job at trying to avoid spoilers.[/QUOTE] Don't expect "everyone" to know exactly what you know, regardless if it's been revealed officially or not. Also, this is the Halo thread, that doesn't mean we're here to specifically talk about Reach (although it's to be expected if we do). I'd prefer not to see anything that isn't from Bungie or an event Bungie showed off at, you may not consider the first level "spoiler heavy", but I sure as hell don't want to know how the game starts off. I wouldn't mind something like a picture or video of one of the MP or Firefight maps, but please, no "X kills Y while A and B escape"

But the first level is something Bungie showed at an event.

Even if it wasn't, the cutscene I was talking about was shown at a Bungie Press Conference, so it's official Bungie info. They didn't show the first level, they showed the first five minutes or so of it, in which there were pretty much no spoilers besides how the first five minutes of the level goes. Bungie has also already revealed how the game has started, in a Weekly Update even farther back. If you don't know this stuff, that doesn't make it spoilers, that makes you ignorant.

[QUOTE=Grim Joker;24186000]If you don't know this stuff, that doesn't make it spoilers, that makes you ignorant.[/QUOTE] I'm ignorant because I don't know something? I'm sorry I don't hunt down information or miss an update, but seriously, if I don't know something, I don't fucking know something. With all of this talk of spoilers and leaked copies, who the hell wouldn't be cautious of random shaky cam footage that someone posted a link too.

With all of this talk of spoilers and leaked copies, who the hell wouldn't be cautious of random shaky cam footage that someone posted a link too.[/QUOTE] Pretty much, the definition of being ignorant is not knowing something. I didn't say you had to hunt down information, I'm saying just because you don't know something don't accuse me of posting spoilers. Just because you don't know something doesn't make it a spoiler.

[QUOTE=Grim Joker;24185466]You're in the Halo thread, and you're freaking out about information that pretty much almost everyone knew and isn't a spoiler. You're doing a pretty bad job at trying to avoid spoilers.[/QUOTE] Read the post you are quoting please.

[QUOTE=Grim Joker;24186119]Just because you don't know something doesn't make it a spoiler.[/QUOTE] Actually, it does. That's what a spoiler is, something I didn't know about that you revealed. Even if the company that makes it revealed the information, it's still a spoiler. Just a spoiler they were willing to let out for more attention.

[QUOTE=GaLm121;24186068]I'm ignorant because I don't know something? [/QUOTE] That's what ignorant means.

[QUOTE=BmB;24186126]Read the post you are quoting please.[/QUOTE] I honestly have no idea what you even mean by that. I addressed all of the points in his post.

2.5 post memory span, point by point blind "adress" aka mindless attack, please learn to conduct a conversation that makes sense.

Just a spoiler they were willing to let out for more attention.[/QUOTE] No, see, a spoiler is something that spoils the game. A spoiler is, say, a plot twist. A spoiler is not a funny moment in the game that someone felt like sharing. A spoiler is whether or not a major character dies at some point. A spoiler is not the first five minutes of the fucking game.

Actually yes by the very definition you use, knowing it spoils the fresh and important first impression of the game. I sure as hell wouldn't have wanted to know how Halo 3 started, or how a good movie like say 2001 started. A grand entry can be just as important as the ending.

halo 2 was the best dawn city with dual wielding smgs ugh jizz [editline]01:01PM[/editline] and master chief is frozen in space at the end of halo 3

[QUOTE=BmB;24186261]Actually yes by the very definition you use, knowing it spoils the fresh and important first impression of the game.[/QUOTE] You're right. Those first five minutes that have pretty much nothing besides the presenter talking sure do ruin my first impression of the game. Because shaky cam footage with almost no audio accurately represents the experience I'm going to have.

[QUOTE=Grim Joker;24186236]A spoiler is not the first five minutes of the fucking game.[/QUOTE] You're thinking that a spoiler has to be something major to be considered a spoiler, that's not how it works. If someone with the game goes "Man, there was this part, where I going against an elite, and then it threw it's sword at me!" that person just revealed to the other guy that Elite's can throw swords. He now will expect that an Elite with attempt to throw swords, instead of it happening naturally and having a true response. The first 5 minutes of the game will still be the first 5 minutes of the game, and you'll know everything that happens. A rock fell down and took out a comm relay? Well shit, now you know before you even touched a controller.
