Halo: Reach Discussion

ya inferno, that would be pretty stupid.

So wheres the real reticle

There very well could not be one. Beta HUD after all.

[Heathen]

doubt they would take pictures of a build without even a hud. Besides, wasn't this build played by swedes?

distinctively olive green -> generic sci-fi greys

:/

but I do love the H3 marine, and the reach marine is alright, albeit short and stout. he needs to shed a bit of that gear, or slim it down. And i like the direction they're going with the elites and grunts

e: If I haven't said so already, I find the new screenshots much more promising than the ones I was criticizing before. The lighting and atmosphere in these shots looks much more impressive. Ok, I'm really shallow.

[Heathen]

I agree about the elites.

Keep in mind that "distinctive Halo weapon" was once a distinctive Aliens weapon. Like, no joke. Back when the assault rifle in Halo 1 had that olive green tint to the grip, it was extremely similar to one of the weapons in the Aliens series.

Halo was not at all a completely original idea, but rather a very good blend of other ideas.

^ fair enough. Actually, I was trying to make a point, but I quite like the new AR (if that is indeed what it is) and the new Hog. I would like it a little better if it had the olive green, but it's still pretty badass looking. Oh my tastes are so fickle.

I can dig the new Assault rifle. I actually kinda like it. That Battle Rifle, however, looks like an ugly brick. And rails? When did Halo start having rails like that? No better way to make a gun look ugly than by adding rails.

[ODX]

This is starting to seem less and less like the Halo I love, and more and more like a generic sci-fi shooter.

The game looks like Unreal Tournament 3 had sex with Crysis.

Halo in title only. Again, RIP friend.
