Halo: Reach Discussion

Except he continued to talk after that...

It wasn't a "I need a weapon" or a "Does he always refer to me like that?" line

"so this is our new number 6?
You chose one helluva day to sign up"

Not yet.


The one-liners in Halo have always been fantastically corny. I guess the "Spartans never die" line is only fitting.

A little interview thingie-ma-bob. Just gives a few little facts, such as the return of split screen/4-player co-op.

It doesn't actually say split screen 4 player co-op in there btw. I don't know if that's what you meant in your comment there, but that's what I picked up from ye. Still, looks neat :3

They said there was 4 player and splitscreen co-op. Also, online coop, so I'm excited because I don't have my account anymore.

(edit) @ ODX

At first when you said "split screen/4 player co-op" I thought you might have been meaning that they also were returning 4 player split screen. Then I watched the video and realized it was just the return of split screen games in campaign and MP plus 4-player co-op in campaign. Would be crazy if they could have done 4 player split screen plus all these visual upgrades o_o

At the end of the video he talks about how they're taking everything good/what they've learned from Halo 1, 2, 3 and ODST and putting it into Reach...I think we can rest assure that Firefight will be returning to us come the end of this year . "We're making the definitive Halo game with Reach"

I just can't wait until they try to match chiefs semiepic one liners using every single cast member.

"so this is our new number 6?

Oh sweet, Bungie is upgrading their "semiepic one liners" to "semiepic two liners"! It's just fucking cutscene filler. What, do you expect soldiers heading into battle all quiet not making a peep when they have a new member they don't know?

Yeah, I said split screen slash 4 player co-op. The slash essentially meaning 'and.' Never understood why they didn't actually have 4 player split screen co-op in Halo 3; is it because the campaign is a bit more demanding and they couldn't have had 4 separate screens each running on one TV or something?

[Kornman00]

Yeah, the drop from 4 to 2 player split screen was due to resources

[DarkHalo003]

I think Reach will be a good close for Bungie, but I think the game itself will be very much to-be-determined in a way. Either it will lose its awesome level by Bungie relying too much on Halo1 as a support foundation or it will be fantastic by it's own originality. If it falls in between like Halo3, timeless, then that would be fine too, but I think multiplayer is going to blow away anything we've seen before.
