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

I can't speak for them, but sorry, man.

It just so happens the part of the game I'm most interested in (Campaign) is understandably the part Bungie have been the most mum about.

Ultimately, I'd just like to know more of how it works in its game design, not so much interested in specific plotpoints as I am perhaps the kind of level design and enemies we'd be dealing with. It certainly looks vast, but does it deliver?

I've noticed that the site has considerably slowed down.

Or is it just me?

The speed of the site has been fine for me. We were actually running a little low on resources at one point yesterday (never out), but they were increased for the demand.

I'm going to guess that if I type 'halo reach leaked' into google this thread will be like the very first page.

Wait jcap, do you have the leaked version or not?

ROFL, why would you think that? Even if he did, he wouldn't say he does.

I could do that.

I could also ask people who've played the game exactly how big an improvement it is over prior iterations so that I can temper my expectations.

Because he said he would post the videos of campaign etc. I.e. the not crappy quality ones.

He said he would host it if the other guy was going get videos.

Sweet thanks for clarifying shit for me.

Holt shit this thread exploded.

Am I the only one from 2004 that modded this game his entire life and doesn't know a shit about the Halo story besides that there is a ring that kills everything? :iamafag:

Lol, probably.

Nah the other site that Im at has made an iso out of the xcp file and that one is over 200 pages in 1 1/2 days.Oh but the iso is onlyplayable on jtag console and is being upped as we speak.Guess another 4-5 hrs it will be all there

What's this other site you speak of. Give us a URL please, I wanna see it.

No haha almost posted it.I might get kicked here.Cause its an xbox site which is dedicated to download games for flashed xbox and jtags.So since I haven't read the rules(who does?) i'm not saying


Nevermind here is a google search


http://www.google.de/search?client=f...G=Google-Suche


now this is not a link to the site simply a search for a site.lol guess which 1 i ment when you see it,also you'll need to register

Correct. However, if you want to discuss extracting Reach or asset extraction, that is allowed. We just don't tolerate linking to downloads of pirated games.

Above are the instructions for extracting it from the XCP archive (if you have it, don't ask) so you can take a look at the files for modding.

jcap, I really do not think this site should be supporting such posts, even if the source content isn't linked. People want to talk about the game, fine. But that's borderlining on piracy, especially since no one owns the game yet.

Can you tell me what all the names of the single player missions are just out of curiosity.

I agree, especially with the minor publicity the site is getting as a result of this whole thing. The last Modacity needs is an influx of new users with wrong ideas of what this site is about.

What is this site about?

Modding and mapping for Halo CE, H2V, Source games, Unreal, and other games/engines. It's in the title, bro.

oops, SPOILER WARNING

Halo Reach is a really sad game. :(

Pretty much. They said it would be, and it really is. There are moments of true heroism in this game though. I am really liking the somber, self sacrifice trend I'm seeing lately in games. To have protagonists that can actually die and aren't invincible only strengthens the narrative and your investment in the character. I mean just look at Red Dead Redemption.. holy shit.

I guess the images are confirmed to be real, guys! I'll be taking them down in about an hour from now when I get home, because we received a takedown notice this morning. To be honest, we don't even know the legitimacy of this notice, since he's from the UK and the domain is not registered to Microsoft, but we want to be on the safe side anyway (any lawyers reading this, please chime in with your $0.02). If anyone wants to save the images (and repost), better do so now!

Did Bungie ever say who the writing team consisted of? From what small snippets I've seen, the writing seems to be much improved over previous games. Might just be the influence of the presentation, tone and superior voice acting, mind you.

There's no James Young with Microsoft.

I'm going into spoiler territory here but I'm thinking there's a Legendary Ending after ALL of this, for several reasons which I'll highlight in spoilers. These WILL contain end spoilers for Noble 6. Do not click them if you don't wish to be spoiled. I'm serious.

Alright, first of all the final battle with Noble 6, fighting for his life against the Zealots. Near the end you can see he is on the ground just barely fighting them back, but his actual "death" is obscured from view by someone/thing entering into the frame. I'm wondering if this will be part of a legendary ending. Also if you look at the grassy Reach shot the date is July 7th, 2589. That's Bungie day 30+ years after the end of the Human-Covenant War. There's definitely a legendary ending that no one has seen yet, and I'll be keeping that unspoiled for myself for when I have the game in my own hands. Cheers, and I'd like to hear thoughts on this little theorizing I'm doing. Let me know if I'm officially insane. :P

Jcap, you deleted rather than hid posts?

True dat.

But I still want to know what that Pillar of Autumn Mission at the end is. It seems like a bonus for legendary difficulty, as the normal ending just sees the PoA taking off, and then the opening cutscene of Halo: CE.

Pretty sure that's the last mission. There's nine missions and Noble Actual is the name of the opening cutscene.

Lone Wolf seems to be the bonus mission which appears after the credits and where most of those initial screenshots are from.

What are the difficulty level descriptions?

Isn't Lone Wolf the small mission to survive after the PoA cutscene?

??

Seems likely.

Wonder if there's a time limit on how long you're able to hold out, or if they just keep swamping you with more and more enemies 'til it becomes unmanageable. Good extension of the introduction to Firefight that the final setpiece in ODST was.

Yeah, but you may not be dead. There is always a Legendary ending for these games, the shot of Noble 6 is completely obscured by the Elite entering into the frame, and you never see the stab get close to his body, all you see is the arm raise up. Then it shows his helmet sitting in a grassy field on Reach on July 7th, 2589. July 7th is Bungie day, and the date is 30+ years after the end of Halo 3. It's not over yet.

I'd honestly feel of copped out if that was the case.

Besides, even in the unlikely event that Elites going all Ides of March on you doesn't snuff you out, how would you survive a glassing?

I dont know why I check this thread. I never check the spoilers and I dont ever read anything.

That's the thing, though. They never really show the killing at the most dramatic moment. The date may mean something, but most of the time it's just a tease for something that doesn't exist. Really, how could it not be over yet...37 years after the Reach events. Nobel 6 still kicking ass at 60+ years old...well, maybe.

That's not that big of a stretch, Spartans are very resilient due to all the enhancements they put in them. I mean hell Master Chief is like 45 or older and Sgt. Johnson who is a Spartan-I is over 80 years old by the time he dies in Halo 3. So I'm not really seeing it be a huge stretch that Noble 6 would still be kicking at 60+

Johnson was definitely not 80+ years old when he was killed.

Where'd Che get to anyway?

I'd venture that was Dr. Halsey and not Cortana. By 2589 Cortana would be well into full rampancy which is when an AI goes completely insane/defective.

Johnson was 82 at the time of his death. However, because much of that time was spent in cryogenic suspension during Slipspace jumps, he was physically much younger. Its been stated before he was 82 at the time of his death, but due to the cryo and slip space was much younger physically. He was born in the 2400's, and died in 2552.

Also someone -can- speak out of inexperience. I said I might be wrong, if Noble Six is dead oh that's sad. If he's alive, then awesome. Its a theory I won't be proven wrong till I see the Legendary Ending, and if I am I'll gladly eat humble pie. All it is, is a theory. =\

At this time in human history, the estimated human longevity is around 150 years of age. John-117 is in his mid 40s, making him the rough equivalent of a fully healthy man in his mid 20s today. That and given the amount of time spent in cryo sleep, and the extended periods of time in slipspace. John at this time is extremely healthy age wise.

I forgot about the cryo sleep thing. I think I read about that somewhere. You may, in fact, be correct about Johnson's age. Actually I now remember reading it at the Halo Wiki. There's no citation for it so I'll assume it is incorrect information for the time being. Captain Keyes must have been a lot older than he appeared in CE, if this is true...along with many other characters.

The legendary ending for any of the games had never actually held any significance, besides (fake) confirming Johnson's death in CE. The legendary ending for Reach probably doesn't reveal or answer anything. It'll probably raise more questions like Halo 3's legendary ending. Reach is the last Halo game to be made by Bungie. However, it matters not if Noble 6 is dead or not. We won't ever find out. We don't need to know either. It's fully implied.

i only watched the ending when i played legendary and it had the cinematic shot from halo 1 and the first two lines play before the credits did. i'm not sure if this is done for all difficulties or not, but that's the only thing special i noticed.

Hella sad. You get stabbed in the face.

Every time I see Keyes in that video he reminds me of the Illusive Man, whom I hate.

Love the visually improved Autumn, though, especially the engine nozzle flaps.

probably useful to someone.
Here are all the fonts that halo reach uses.

Che:

Can you post voice credits for the game? I'd love to know who Bungie recruited to voice the members of Noble Team.

Also:
* Does the game feature water craft / water battles / anything on the water?
* What civilian vehicles are encountered in the campaign? Do any of these appear in multiplayer or Firefight? Are they available in Forge?
* What types of wildlife appear in the game? Can you kill them? Can you ride them?
* What is Auntie Dot?

No water crafts, No civilian vehicles in forge except I think the forklift.

Yes there is wildlife, you can kill them.

1.There are no watercraft, and the closest you can get to water battles is forging ships in the water. Bungie made a map where a part of the map is like a "wading pool"

2.All vehicles you encounter in campaign are drivable (except for the Pelican and Phantom :( ). I don't believe you can spawn any of the civvie vehicles are forgable, or appear in multiplayer.

3.There is some wildlife, like the Moa (ostriches) or the Gueta. You can't ride the wildlife.

4. Auntie dot is Noble Team's AI, kinda like Master Chief has Cortana, but Dot is stupid and can't really "talk" like Cortana (i.e. she doesn't make any remarks like Cortana).

Thats the Gueta, it's fucking HUGE!

Can anyone tell me where Buck (ODST) appears in the Reach campaign? I want to know.

You don't actualy see him, just his Pelican, and you have to escort a "high-value object" or something like that, it's at nightime, and you fly around New Alexandria (Big-ass city) in a Falcon destroying Covenant comms jammers.

Damn I wanted to see a redesigned Buck. Maybe a Buck whose hair isnt permanently perfect? :iamafag:

Oh well, he was my favorite ODST at least I get to use his voice in Firefight

A buddy reviewed this.

really nailed the covenant as the strategic winners while you're almost always the tactical winner

also the DMR is pretty cool and most of the new weapons are fun plus dope also game has framerate issues in 1080p that ODST did not have

oh and punching ostriches in the mouth as they run past you is great

1/5 dinosaurs (not enough dinosaurs)
3/5 sound (good music in the beginning that wasn't being halo soundtrack but then later it was halo soundtrack and i did not like that but at first it was cool)
10/5 pronounciation (guy says ma'am like he is saying madam in old english except he drops the d it is sweet+nice)

overall would play again but this time firefight i haven't touched that yet i want to touch that

Replaying Combat Evolved prompts the question: What's the range like on the shotgun in Reach?

In the beta, I found effective range to be somewhere in between the H1 and H2 shotguns.

^which is anywhere between the other side of a long hallway and 3 inches away from your face :v:

in all seriousness though, when i played the beta i didnt use the shotgun too much, but when i did the range was a bit better than the halo 3 shotgun, as in you can actually kill somebody without putting the barrel in their mouth and following up with a melee.

And it didn't require more than 2 shots to kill a person. The halo 3 shotgun is a terrible weapon.
