Yeah, I realize that. I'm not too sure why I said that.
Yeah, spoiler tags still don't transfer into email notifications. Thankfully I don't know how many "many" is. :downs:
What in there is spoilers?
In spoiler tags, someone had a picture, with the caption "holy crap, that's a lot of _____" And while that isn't a story spoiler, in fact it's to be expected, enough of that sort of thing and there won't be any surprises left. :P
I guess I get ya. Since we have all of this civi stuff going on, I hope there is more of my favorite part of Halo 3
Loving the new screenshots and multiplayer map info. I may be 'over hyped' for reach at this point, all the information is giving me Reach on the brain 24/7 so much so I did this...
Which i have only ever done before for a little game called Mass Effect so... when a game gets stuck in my head this much...well lets just say I'm glad I'm not a reviewer (journalist) because I'd be very biased.
The Gueta...it's freaking huge. I mean, Jun is the size of a full grown human. Also, is anyone freaked out by the talons on its hands.

I just wish it didn't come out as a distraction to the new school year
yeah this^
halo 3 did this too. its like they plan it just to fuck up your school schedule.
It's only 1 month and 9 days currently.
I had to pick it up right before school started and I had to wait while it sat in my locker for a couple hours :smith:Quote:

Needs more angles where its not covered up. It looks badass.
Oh god

That stinks you can only have three people in a Falcon in mp, but I guess its to prevent people from getting overkills or killtaculars using a laser. Hopefully in co-op though you can use the passenger seats.Quote:
The Falcon seats five for campaign dramatics, but when you fly the friendly skies, you’ll only be able to cart three into the battlefield. You on the stick and two friends on the guns. In campaign, you’ll run into a few different configurations, including one outfitted with some meatier mounted guns, but in multiplayer, the only armaments are the two machine gun turrets dangling dangerously over the side rail.
That picture was on IGN warlord for a while. They have a ton of screenies.

Can't wait to drive the new rocket hog around in campaign!
Forklifts don't die, they're only missing in Action
Lol...what
How do you get kills with that thing? It doesn't even have a built-in weapon. Just seems like a deathtrap.
I will not be using it.
Granting you can make a warthog a Hill in KoTH. I'm going to attempt to make a banshee a Hill, and give everyone else scorpions...I'm curious to see how that will turn out.
I am making the Forklift a hill.
And giving everyone Gravity Hammers.
AND NO ONE CAN STOP ME.
Think of it as scenery. A ton of games use forklifts and civilian vehicles as static environmental objects; Bungie just made it so that they were drive-able.Quote:

4. ????
5. Dominate.
fucking lol^
seriously though, it would be cool to see how people could use forklifts to block off entrances and stuff. somebody mentioned that its like drivable scenery. anybody else see the potential here?
E: FUCKING LOL HOTPOCKET.
Forky is the new religion! All shall bow before him!
*bows to Forky and gets amazing skills at Halo*
Forge bases built on forklifts?
What if that lift was able to be used...you could crush your opponents literally.
Decided to crack out WMM since power director is in the fritz.

Where are those clips with the hunter/brutes, flying and looking at the covenant carrier and the warthogs v banshees from?
Oh god. Fork sounds like fuck. I'm going to preemptively torch my headset now.
The Brute and Hunter clips were from the ol' Firefight trailer released some time ago, the covenant carrier scene in space is from a couple of clips, but specifically the E3 campaign trailer, and the Warthog/Banshee scene is from the latest campaign preview.Quote:

Have they shown what the Heretic elites look like yet?
I renewed my live subscription and got the remaining mythic and vidmaster lightswitch achievements in case there's a reward for getting everything in reach. http://www.bungie.net/stats/halo3/ac...r=avp%20DRAGON
Probably never going to play H3 again now.
I was always under the impression that "Heretic" was just a load-out or two given to the Elites that allow them to spawn with human weapons. :/
What NotZac said. I'm pretty sure 'Heretic' just refers to them using human weapons in Firefight.

I wouldn't be surprised. according to the latest update, the game's pretty much done and going through the publishing stages. wouldn't be too odd if a special select few people got it early
"Thursday is the new Friday"'
Contains the complete list "of all the major objects and gadgets" for Forge World
Holy shit.
"This isn’t the complete list, mind you, but I’ve made sure nearly all of the major objects and gadgets are present and accounted for."Quote:

I'd like to see a montage of every assassination animation that's in this game. I expect it to be awesome and humorous.
At least they got someone pretty good to show off the map.
Guys, just random wishful thinking, but what if with project natal we got to make custom assassinations. Add a little personal flavor to the battlefield.
Waggle to make custom animation!Quote:

I'm pretty sure they stated somewhere that Kinect came out/got finalized too far into Reach development to where they could implement anything in Reach with it, but that if they use it in any future games that they'd be the best at it (hurrr).
And by that they mean they don't want to waste their time implementing features for a device that is truly destined for failure.Quote:

yey space battles
heh no free flying
saw that video awhile back during the E3 conference
i cant wait to play tbh, my other games are getting :I
I don't know about you guys, but the best part of that video, for me, was seeing the player knock off a Grunt's methane pack, seeing the leaking remnants catch fire, and watching the Grunt fly off like a rocket before exploding mid-air.
yeah, i wanna see a grunt assassination, i heard with the heavy grunts you rip off one of those fins on its back and beat it to death with itQuote:

Bungie's planning on putting out there own videos soon
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost...postcount=5490
I wonder if they'll bring Team Swat back, but with DMR's.
It was in the beta
I see that the holographic armor ability was in that zealot video. Nice.
I liked seeing the hologram fly through the grav-lift. I thought it'd be a bit obvious to spot a hologram, but even I would've gone for that assassination like that player did. I think my opinion about the holograms (which was originally "meh") has been changed for good. Should be fun to see how much I could make them interact with the map.
Also, I would've liked to see some low-gravity combat on that top level ... and when am I going to see someone actually use the concussion rifle?
If its as useless as the bruteshot, never.
bruteshot is useful, its just in gaylo 3 the BR made every gun uselessQuote:

The bruteshot was hardly useless.Quote:

I dislike how the falling damage still applies to man-cannons.
That's so dumb.Quote:

I like how the mid-air arm-flailing animation finally overlays with the ragdoll, so you can spin around while flailing your arms now instead of always facing downward :neckbeard:
Best example is around 1:18, you can even see another good example in the background during/immediately after the first guy.
Yeah I liked that too. I also liked how the grenades looked more powerful. Though not as powerful as the Halo 1 grenades.Quote:

I was joking about the bruteshot. I use it to fly on mongooses. I love that fall damage applies to man cannons. It makes them harder to use and you cant always escape.
ahhhh (i didn't notice him spawn the hologram) *embarrassed*.Quote:
