Halo: Reach Discussion

[Siliconmaster]

Hey guys, I went back to the very first Halo 3 screenshots to compare them to the final game. Everyone remember the classic shot of Valhalla and the mongoose, and the epic mountains in the background?





Now, anyone remember the texturing on the structure to the upper right?

Same generation of screenshots, people. Give them some slack.

In case anyone wants a comparison (warning, large image): http://www.officialhalo3cheats.com/m...lla-env-02.jpg

Just sayin!

Come on, I live in Modacity. I crit where I see things to crit. It's what we do here. It's not as though I have any influence on Bungie, but if I did and they showed me a beta build that didn't look as good as it should, I wouldn't say "looks awesome for a beta build!" I would say "This and this and this could be better."

Haha. No worries- critique away. But it would be good to remember that things will probably (and hopefully) change greatly by the time we see them in game.

well when they show the sound clips, and this isn't very good evidence, but they only show 3.

Weekly Update covers a lot of questions (Such as the cross air bug): http://www.bungie.net/News/content.a...ink=BWU_012910
They also gave a bunch of preview sounds of weapons:
AR
DMR
Sniper Rifle
Frag
Plasma
Mystery

DMR is gonna pwn the shit out of the BR. Single shot > Burst fire spam.

Plus add the fact that the field of fire expands the faster you shoot, all these spray-n-pray ass hats will be out of a job

Loving the gun sounds. AR's far better than H3's... toy gun sound.

So, might as well bring up another point;

Bungie confirmed in their last update that most Human weapons (excluding the Rocket Launcher and other obvious ones) are now going to be hitscan, while Covenant weapons will stay the same. That means no more leading your shots with an AR, BR, whatever. Do you think it's an improvement or a bad decision on Bungie's part?

[Lateksi]

I think it's a good thing. In Halo 3 I've had trouble registering the shots if I've had to lead the shits when there's people with bad connections. Hitscan also makes the gameplay more straightforward so you'll focus on the objectives and you won't have to think about your every shot.

This.
