Halo Reach Leaked: This Is The Way The World Ends

So
Spoilers(Dr.Halsey order Noble Team to hand something to CaptainKeyse ? )Spoilers

What is that ?

Well Che I guess I'll copy paste my earlier question since I really want it answered =\

Hey there, I made an account just to ask you a question since someone redirected me here and I was super excited. Can I take the bullet hole through the helmet as a cue that your Noble 6 does indeed die by the end of the game? Good to know I predicted correctly on the fate of the remaining Noble Team members. I'm really curious about the fate of my own personal character though. I was also wondering something from the Armory if you could check, does the Blue Visor show up as costing 50,000 cR and are there any other visor colors available to you besides Silver and Blue?

Also have you seen this armor in there yet?

Attachment 1616 I'm wondering about the shoulder pad specifically, I know the helmet is Recon without all the silly attachments and that the Visor color is blue but I don't know what that shoulder is, but it looks cool as all hell.

Hey, are you Laszlo from Gaf?
Also, that shoulder there is the ODST shoulder pad.

Also, I will ask my question again. Che, could you show all of the helmets available, not just the ones available from the start, but ALL of them. I assume this would be possible with mods.

Thanks

Well if that's the ODST shoulder pad then I want it. XD I'm not Lazslo. I'm a person from NeoGAF that has yet to be approved, I've been waiting more than a month and its kinda growing tiring. But this place seems rather nice.

Yeah, I've been lurking for about 3 months. Registered a month ago, still not approved either. It's a bit stupid.
And yeah, Gaf seems like a good place. I'm not really a fan of the rediculously strict moderation over there (a well known long established member just got permanently banned for making a joke about Saddam Hussein) so I'm not really sure how long I'll last there, haha.

things get pretty damn busy while in the campaign. i will bet you money that there won't ever be a time where you think to yourself 'man, there are too few enemy characters in this encounter!'. the only exception i think to all of this is probably the first level, but i think it's due to the fact that it's suppose to ease you into the game. on that note, the first level is also a tutorial level kinda but doesn't run you thru the motions like halo1 or halo2 did. the first level basically gives you enough characters to fight to get a feel for the game and ease you into what's going on. for people new to the game, or who didn't play the beta, this will be a good thing. existing users shouldn't mind it tho (gave me more time to enjoy the views)

i've played on heroic and legendary...both are challenging. the AI isn't dumb and will use some smart maneuvers against you. take into account there are a shit load of them and you got yourself a pretty challenging firefight. people who just run and gun are going to have a real hard time playing this game on the higher difficulties.

friendly AI...well they're a special case. why? because they don't die. ever (they're invincible). well, expect when they're killed off but heh, that's a different story! this fact kinda makes some later game play feel like a joke, but i guess it could worse, you could have to baby sit them along with your troopers (when you actually have their support). who wants to babysit a spartan?

the game considers normal the standard difficultly AFAIK, not sure what you mean exactly. if you're a seasoned player then you'll want to play on heroic as you bring to the table a pre-existing know-how of how to fight the enemy or drive a vehicle, etc.

there's def urban combat again (gotta help them civies!). i wouldn't compare it to halo2's e3 demo as reach isn't earth. but you do get to fight in a vacuum again (during some boarding action like you said), and you get some good exposure to dogfighting in space (via the sabre in two battles, but in the same level) and in the air (via the falcon).

i think i forgot to address a question about buggers earlier: yes, they're back in the campaign, but not as :ugh:ifying

edit: nope, no secret AAs

This is all sounding very cool and tremendously exciting. Thanks for the response. This does sound like the sequel Combat Evolved deserved.

What I meant by that difficulty question was that Bungie and the games called Heroic "The way Halo is meant to be played", at least in Halo 3 and ODST. Just wondering if that was still the case here. Not that it's a biggie. Any excuse to replay through the campaign over and over again is a good one. 8)

How prominent are civilians and wildlife? Will we encounter them often and does the game react if we shoot them? How about those gueta creatures? Can they ruin your day?

Are troopers competent enough or should I never, ever entrust them with driving me around while I man the turret and rely on them as cannon fodder?

Oh yeah, and do civilian vehicles appear in Forge? Was thinking Race could be stupidly entertaining with beat up trucks and such.

Apart from all that, more screenshots, please! Not asking for anything too spoilery, just want to see more of these environments and vistas. Maybe some stuff showing off the odds we're up against and those aforementioned

urban and vacuum

sequences.

And because I'm a bit of a knife freak: How many are there available to buy? I noticed in that video posted earlier that the Spartan was holding a DMR in the Armoury. Is that the new default option or does that mean we get to select our signature weapon?

Cheers again!

Hey there, I've got three videos that I've seen so far, two of which show off quite a bit of Armor, including the fact that normal Recon is indeed included in the game without day one purchase. Looks like all Day One Purchase gets you is Recon + Attachments. Anyway, none of these contain spoilers, I'm not a dick. One of the videos has Countdown in it, a Firefight map from the campaign but the level has been seen before in other trailers. Enjoy
