Halo: Reach Discussion

[FRain]

According to the Bungie Weekly update:

Reach info in the next Game Informer.

Speaking of talking more later, some folks found this potential conversation starter this week:

“The new issue is off to the printers. Another fantastic issue if I do say so myself. Should start arriving around January 10th-ish.”

Ain’t my quote. Someone else spat it out onto the interconnected network of silicone and tubes we call the Internet. So you don’t need to go digging (never know what you’re gonna find on the web), I’ll save you the trouble. It’s from Game Informer’s Andy McNamara and his latest issue is gonna feature some piping hot Halo: Reach action.

You should also be on the lookout for some Euro mag lovin’, too. While Game Informer has you covered stateside, there should be several overseas publications pimping Halo: Reach. Damn fine way to ring in the New Year, eh?

We'll have some new assets around these here parts too, but you'll have to wait a little bit longer for those. We're not in the business of stepping on toes. Sit tight.

I hate every single one of those MJOLNIR suits.

[Heathen]

because your a purist?

I hate every single one of those MJOLNIR suits.

I heartily agree. They look much better in this illustration than they did in the trailer, but the idea that Spartans are a multicoloured cornucopia of death is stupid...

...ALL GREEN BUNGIE, ALL FUCKING GREEN! KAPEESH!?

I can probably guess their reasoning behind the armor, something about being able to identify each team mate or some sit like that...but why they look like a rainbow is beyond me, and that spartan REALLY needs a ghiile suit?

I like them in the trailer. Look gross and weird in the drawing. Oh well.

Three words:

In Helmet Display.

Looks like something very windy or powerful is happening in front of them (debris at their feet).

The colors seem to outline possible class. They're naturally occuring colors too, don't really seem much rainbow action going on. Not to mention, these are rumored to be SIIIs. So shut the fuck up with the SII generics. These guys aren't the same and it's Bungie's own damn game world.

Reach was also surprise attacked. Not much time to switch from prototype suits (again, colors could indicate class and specialized areas) to possibly something more polished.
