A Spartan Will Rise
...Great minds do think alike.
Oh cool, she's not a twenty-something blonde anymore.
FINALLY. A PROPER incarnation of Halsey that doesn't have her as some 15 year old stereotypical anime chick. Fuck you Halo Legends.
Wait what?
Doesn't Cortana choose Chief just after the spartans get their MJOLNIR toys?
FUCKING HALO CANNON
E:I hope that isn't an ingame cutscene because that voice acting is painfully over-dramatic.
I'm talking 2pm American soap tier dramatic.
EE: wait, they can't be talking about Cortana. Why would she be humanity's last hope.
That's Dr. Halsey, there's no appearance of Cortana in that video at all. Oh, and at 2:29, could that possibly be Captain Keyes?
EDIT : You know, maybe she wasn't talking to Cortana after all. Isn't there an AI in Reach called Auntie Dot or something?
This is what the people at GAF think.Quote:

Game still looks cool (although the squadmates are looking very, very archetypical), but we're all here for the multiplayer anyway so I'll try not to get too grr about it
I'm here for the campaign as much as, if not more than, the multiplayer...Jorge definitely is my favourite member of Noble team, especially after that video.
I'm sure it was. They did the same thing last year with an ODST "vidoc" narrated by Johnson, who was barely in the game.Quote:

One thing I did like about the Spartans in the books is how they were serious to a fault, so I was a little disappointed to hear them spewing macho cliches in the video.
Ugh I didn't like that either. I hope the whole "badass" theme in the ViDoc isn't in the game, because it's just old now. We don't need any more Master Chiefs, one is enough.Quote:

I would be okay with it if Jorge didn't have any stupid "badass" lines. Thank you Bungie for pointing out how much the IIIs suck.
Also I hate how bad Jen Taylor is at trying to sound old.
That picture is real. But you can't get 99,999MSP (also you will get a, invalid region error). It's loaded for reviewers, they get given a code to redeem it from Xbox Live. It's a redeem only item, but for some reason microsoft can't hide it from Xbox.com. haha.Quote:

Eh, makes sense to me...
Ugh no, not even slightly plausible.
Well what makes it implausible?
Only one other Spartan(not counting the Chief) on the PoA, for one.
(also why's Halsey on a Covenant ship?)
I think he was suggesting the mission would involve ensuring the Pillar of Autumn escaped successfully, not necessarily being on the ship.
Eh, I dunno about that either.
(also heard someone on HBO theorize that Noble-6 would be transporting Cortana to the Autumn, but that's a bit silly.
Yeah thehoodedsmack got my point...
I know its a bit silly, but hey... I cant think of any other campaign-worthy mission for the spartans.
Not to mention that that guy in the video looks a hell of a lot like Keyes.
What guy?
Also, anyone think Halsey was talking to an AI at the end?
(too bad the opening line sucked after "fortress among the stars")
At first I was all like "Holy shit Cortana!"
And then I realized that was silly. And then I remembered my Halo canon. And then I was all "Holy shit Dr. Hasley!"
And yeah, I paused the video when I thought I saw Capt. Keyes, too. It would suck if the Captain didn't make it into Reach; we know he was there, and he was one of my all-time favorite characters.

ugggggh, it needs to be Keyes. He was the best character and he died off in the first game. I thought this would be an opportunity to bring him back. Sure hope he's in there somewhere, maybe in the space mission.
Actually, I think more Master Chiefs is exactly what we need. The Master Chief never wasted time acting tough, he just shut the fuck up and got the job done, for the most part.Quote:

Agreed.
I'd just like to hear his name or something if his face doesn't pop up anywhere. I feel like his memory has been forever replaced by that half-wit daughter of his.
Who, btw, had terrible one-liners.
There's going to be some stuff about halo later today on the gamescon stream http://www.xbox.com/en-gb/gamescom2010
Hopefully we'll watch him and Cortana pull the autumn through some ridiculously insane maneuver and kill like 3 covie ships as they make the blind jump at the end. Or perhaps the slipspace rupture itself could be involved in the ownage...
also, I am so tired of one-liners, I think it's been pretty thoroughly proven that a game can contain and use dialog on a much higher level than that...
At first I was like :neckbeard: but then I figured out they copied that Boba Fett sketch from Robot Chicken and was like :raise:.Quote:

Why would he have heard this? I understood that Noble Team was one of these best-of-the-best squads. Why are their actions being relayed so quickly to others? The only explanation I can think of is that the UNSC uses Noble Team as one of their SPARTAN publicity units, which is also hard to swallow, because if I remember correctly, SPARTAN IIIs were supposed to be top-secret.
2. "It's not enough we fight the Covenant, etc..."
This just seems like a line out of place. Like it shouldn't be the first time this concern has been expressed.
The whole trailer was just boring. It didn't explain anything, except perhaps that we may fight insurrectionists. The writing was bland, and it just seems like a waste of production money.
My guess is that the game starts out with you fighting insurrectionists, which if any of you saw the opening cinematic and first 5 minutes of the game, looks to be the case. The covenant probably don't land until the second level, which would explain why theres no achievement for beating the first level.
The first fight you get into is not with insurgents.
Take the first images of the game for example.
That one right there is from the first level (m10, as the image url says) which also supplied the world geometry for ff10_prototype. From playing the beta and those images you can tell it's of a civilian area (probably some type of farming)
They're probably sent off to investigate what command thinks is an insurgent attack only to find the covies knocking at their back door. I forget where it was said but they said that the game builds up in action as you progress thru each mission, so that would make a seemingly routine insurgent investigation fit the bill.
After the terrible mess that was Halo 2? Not a chance.Quote:

Why does it say gamescom is over while everything else I'm reading says gamescom is from 19th-22nd?
Where does it say that? It ends the 22nd.Quote:

Matchmaking for every mode besides forge and theater.
At first I couldn't possibly fathom why anyone would want to go into matchmaking for a campaign match, but then I remembered all of the times in which I had only 2 friends with me to do some Vidmaster Achievements. :( I think it might be useful to an extent.
You pretty much need 4 friends though to get stuff like vidmaster achievements, so the people don't fuck it up for you.
I'd like to think that you'd all have the same goal anyway if you went into matchmaking ... for campaign.
Griefers.
I'm beginning to think all the dialogue in the vidoc was staged. Watching the first level footage from Gamescom, and it's actually very much what I'd expect from an SIII team.
Microsoft is so stupid, reach is on there servers for download without password.
derp
Not that you can just play that download willy nilly though.
yay for temp bans lasting until december 31 9999
Just throwing this out.
Engineers appear to be making an official return (1:14), and I feel like the point of the Skirmishers is to try and replace the Flood if they can jump that high (at 4:00) and move so fast. I hope that was just a glitch. It just doesn't look right, though perhaps it'll grow on me.
I can't even begin to express how severely disappointed and irate I am about those embarrassing fp animations.
Does anyone else think the style of the weapons is crap? That pistol looks terrible.
Has this guy ever played a Halo game before? Why the fuck would you shoot overcharged plasma at a hunter? I can't stand watching people like this ._.Quote:

just waitting to play this game
The pistol melee looks fucking stupid
Well, the plasma rifle sounds awesome now. That makes me happy.
Fucking this.Quote:

Why is everyone bitching about the animations and the pistol. Everything seems fine.
It's just the pistol, far as I can see. The reload doesn't look like the mag's falling out, it's far too smooth a motion, somehow.
Mainly it's me bitching about the animations, because obviously enough it's just my specialty and what I deem the right to criticize.
There's a ton of shameless reuses of Halo 3 animations, a few butchered ones (reload-empty for DMR/AR), and then the rest of the animations are just way below par compared to Halo 3's. It's like two/three completely different animators did them, and it looks horribly unprofessional.
Most of these seem above halo 3's standard to me. Halo 3's were awful
CAMPAIGN SPOILERS IN THIS POST
!!
Holy dick I want to know that map.
That's too awesome!
Wow, that looks phenomenal. I'm more than ever interested in where we'll be going throughout this campaign.
Picture URL says "Glacier".
Could be name of map, could be just a description.
Far as I know that's the name.
A quick search on Halopedia proves that to be true. That makes for seven known Firefight levels.
I got the pic from Halopedia, actually. About ten minutes before they pulled it.
(fuck spoiler-policy wikis)
Boardwalk, Countdown, and Glacier gameplay
Mute the video, the uploader put some goatshit "music" over it.
There's some major spoilers in there, skip to 0:40 if you want to watch it.
Breaking Benjamin is not goatshit.
I wouldn't really call those spoilers because there's no context in what the levels they're from are for. Except for glacier, that's pretty obvious. It's like Bungie posting the first campaign shots a while back; you see them fighting the covenant in a farm land but have no idea of what exactly is going on in the story.
If people are really that hardcore about not getting spoiled, they shouldn't have even played the public beta.
I'm not sure if you're talking about the first 40 seconds or after that being the spoiler, but after 40 seconds is kind of like that same area we've already seen in that map they used to show off Firefight 2.0 at first. Adding to what Korn said though, you shouldn't even be looking at this thread if you want the full experience of Reach upon its release.

Notice the map about halfway down with the infection symbol
ign article about b.net reach upgrades http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/111/1114803p1.html
e: most likely called Holdout
I'm glad that there might be another map or two. Eight playable maps (not including Forge World) is too low of a number imo.
