Holy shit this looks more badass than the previous Halo games.

He has a MW2 avatar, of course he's a tool.
[QUOTE=Stickmna;20237895]Does that say Mortar car on one of the sticky notes?[/QUOTE]
Yeah.
In one of the leaked Alpha Reach pics, there was a warthog with a giant cannon as the gun for the 'hog.
[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;20238079]New engine. The old one was terribly in-efficient. They just rebuilt it from the ground up more or less in order to give it more ability. Basically, it's better optimized, better structured, better in every way to allow them to actually be able to do something impressive. My one and only concern is, how is AI going to run on this?[/QUOTE]
Well halo has always had good enemy ai and from the vid it looks like they're doing a fantastic job with large squads of ai. You saw the spartans + marines against 30 covenant part? Amazing.
they have been working on this since they finished 3, its a whole new engine, unlike odst

They've pretty much begun work immediately on every one of their games once they finished the previous.
The only ones that seemed to have benefited from this methodology so far are ODST and Halo 2.
I REALLLY want this to be sucsessful.
I also kind of hope they expand the Multiplayer limit. 16 players works fine, but I have always wanted a larger MP experience.

It's not a whole new engine, didn't you watch the video? They've just updated and optimized it a lot.
[QUOTE=Muscar;20247054]It's not a whole new engine, didn't you watch the video? They've just updated and optimized it a lot.[/QUOTE]
They admitted they basically remade it from the ground up.
Considering I loved the first and third ones, i'm going to buy this as soon as it comes out.
I wonder... AI in multiplayer?
Do you need the ODST disc to access the beta?

Yep.

[QUOTE=Faunts;20304431]I wonder... AI in multiplayer?[/QUOTE]
What do you mean?
Do you mean like AI running around during a multiplayer game like CTF or something, or are you talking about coop and survival?
Because there is definitely going to be coop.
[QUOTE=Stickmna;20304815]Yep.

Damn, I was going to trade in ODST to get BC2, gonna have to wait now.

Either really. The concept of NPC Elites running around being a third team or something sounds fun.
And when you say co-op, do you mean like Firefight? In Reach?
He means bots
Jackal Phalanx?
Okay, I try really hard to hate halo, but now I'm sold.
Your reasoning is beyond stupid... if I'm reading this correctly.
You're saying you hate Halo cause of a Jackal Phalanx?

Now you're sounding pretentious.
He's always had a beef with Halo, up until he found out about the Jackal Phalanx. Like, I always had a beef with vegetables, up until I had zucchini teppanyaki. Wow, that was a terrible analogy.
If they give this PC compatibility (and none of this vista or windows 7 only bullshit either, I love my XP) I'd buy 8 copies.
Looks pretty cool, time to convince my friend to buy it :keke: (I don't have an Xbox)

I don't think you know what pretentious means. Nothing I said was pretentious at all.
You also didn't understand what I meant. I do not know what he meant, but if he hates Halo now for something so minor like a "Jackal Phalanx" than it is truly stupid reasoning.

He LIKES Halo now BECAUSE of the Jackal Phalanx. Because it's one of those things that is AWESOME. Internet definition of AWESOME.
Dear god you're thick.
He said he was having a hard time hating halo. And now that he's heard of the Jackal Phalanx he's "sold"
now he could have been sold on the game or sold on hating the game. Either way was possible, douche.

I never take Take Opals side, but for once, he's totally fucking right.

I meant more like campaign, like they have always done.
I don't think having ai enemies running around a standard multiplayer competitive mate would be a good idea.
For one; if you killed them what would they count as? What would be their purpose?
I wouldn't even consider having battles of them in the distance, because it would be far too distracting.
Also, chances are they will bring back the Elite player model for MP. How would you identify player elites from ai controlled ones?
Frankly, any ai in most gamemodes other than cooperative survival would cause far too much 'noise' to be of any use, and not be way too distracting.
Although it would be fun to have a mode fighting the flood, although it would be completely weird to have it in this game, it would be fun to just have a throwback mode, fighting all the forms and mutations that were ultimately cut from the game.
Juggernauts would give me nightmares.

Anyone besides me notice that halo reach has more advanced technology than halo 1?
Old =/= Less Advanced

The MA5k is the compact version of the assult rifle we all saw in the other games, the reason were seeing more hightech covenant weapons is because that was they're major assult fleet. That fleet was and tons of other ships were destroyed at a "Rally point" station where tons of covenant ships met at a space station, which was destroyed and the resulting explosion crippled or destroyed most of the ships, along with the weapons, so they had to go back to basics.
