The Halo Thread - Games - Facepunch Forum

And this is where I leave the thread, before I start reading any of your spoilers. Ádieu, gentlemenne.

[QUOTE=GaLm121;24186355]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.[/QUOTE] But it doesn't even tell you that. You can barely even see what's going on. Honestly, it tells you almost nothing.

I stopped buying halo games once I got halo 3. I played ODST at a friends house and thought the story "meh" and the gameplay was ok to similar to halo 3. Halo Reach looks ok, but they should have followed the books storyline.

Even if it was just the Battle of Reach it still wouldn't be very interesting from the Spartan II POV. Let's see. Mission on the orbital? Cool, one 0g mission. Then you have a part where you run in a forest and kill jackals with rocks, one where you fly a banshee (you don't get to shoot), throw a nuke, and fly away. After that, you commandeer a Wraith (this would actually be a really cool part) and bombard a Covenant camp until running to the Oni facility. Then you have a short fight in the big room with the Forerunner artifact (this is First Strike now, really.) and then run on MC's ship. I'd rather like a more coherent storyline.

In other, less flame'y news. I pre-ordered limited edition.

So, on launch day I'm going to be wearing Flaming Helmet Recon. Awesome. I'll be the cool guy of Halo 3, in Reach.

I'll be wearing the Recon and hunting down anyone with a flaming helmet

I'll be wearing my gamestop armor and be too busy looking at my reflection making noises to actually care about playing the game.

[QUOTE=Zezibesh;24186675]I'll be wearing the Recon and hunting down anyone with a flaming helmet[/QUOTE] Well then it looks like I'll be one of your targets. I'll wear that flaming helmet with pride, at least until I get Grunt Birthday Party.

I'm gonna wear Recon until I get something that looks cooler.

[QUOTE=kattolil;24186707]I'll be wearing my gamestop armor and be too busy looking at my reflection making noises to actually care about playing the game.[/QUOTE] I see what you did there.

Recon looks pretty cool, but I like the default armor a lot too. EOD looks pretty good too. Pretty much all the helmets look cool, except for the unlockable ones in the beta, IMO. I thought they looked real ugly.

I quite liked CQC. Ill use any helmet that Noble team doesnt have so he looks unique in the cutscenes.

I want to use Emile's helmet. Maybe I'll turn on flaming helmet so I can make ghost rider jokes and annoy everyone.

ODST or EOD helmet, CQB chestplate, and whatever arms look best.

[QUOTE=Grim Joker;24186718]Well then it looks like I'll be one of your targets. I'll wear that flaming helmet with pride, at least until I get Grunt Birthday Party.[/QUOTE] It's simply because flaming helmets will make pretty easy targets. Grunt Birthday Party has no effect around the helmet I think, so you're set. At least I hope it plays the YAAAY sound effect and sprays confetti only after you get headshot.

[QUOTE=Grim Joker;24187043]I want to use Emile's helmet. Maybe I'll turn on flaming helmet so I can make ghost rider jokes and annoy everyone.[/QUOTE] I can already see it becoming the new Hayabusa. At least it won't look as annoying.

When people kill me, it'll brighten their day a little :D

What the christ, my posts sure automerged well.

[QUOTE=Zezibesh;24187071]I can already see it becoming the new Hayabusa. At least it won't look as annoying.[/QUOTE] Yeah, unless it's really hard to get. [editline]10:39AM[/editline] Oh god automerge

Mark V/VI/whatever comes across my eyes. It shall be beautiful.

[QUOTE=Grim Joker;24187082]Yeah, unless it's really hard to get. [editline]10:39AM[/editline] Oh god automerge[/QUOTE] The Katana was pretty hard IIRC. It looked really obnoxious.

[QUOTE=Zezibesh;24187139]The Katana was pretty hard IIRC. It looked really obnoxious.[/QUOTE] Katana wasn't that hard. If you get Emile's helmet for getting all of the achievements or something I'm not too worried. All of the achievements look really easy.

Hope they have the mark IV or whatever helmet again, the one from the first halo.

I like Invasion because everyone looks like Halo 1 Chief while wearing the default armor.

I probably wont have ODST for the campaign I dont think it would look right with all the spartans. CQB seems weird to me. Mark V[b] is to plain. I didnt like operator or MP. To be unique I'll probably have HAZOP or CQC.
