Halo: Reach Discussion

It will benefit it if anything. Think about it, you could have an "offensive" and "defensive" load out. One with the AA of sprint, another with maybe armor lock or hell...active camo if you're feeling frisky :3

I can only imagine what kind of new things millions of fans will be able to cook up with whatever new forge they offer plus all of the game type customization they have. Gonna be sweat sauce.

[English Mobster]

Forge (as seen in the April Fool's ViDoc) looks essentially the same, although admittedly it's hard to tell from the brief moments we take a glimpse at the Monitor's HUD.

[Kornman00]

I'm sure that they wouldn't let any spoils leak out while making their AF's joke. I don't even think they showed the forge object menu during the vid (I only watched it once and didn't pay much mind to it, AFs and all) That's the only thing visual that I can think that would have changed.

The hell did they do to the Banshee?

[Cagerrin]

Dunno, but I like it.

Well, on the condition that the wings are animated so it looks like it's actually using the anti-grav pods to maneuver.

Best part of the update was the focus rifle tbh.

I'm lost as to why Bungie said the SMG was a shitty AR...I thought it was more powerful in every way. At the ranges you would use the AR anyways, the SMG is a more potent choice even without dual-wielding. I'm kind of sad to see it go.

Lawl, more Reach fail.

[Kornman00]

Is it just me, or do the wings (if you can even call them that...stabilizers?) look like they're on adjustable joints? Maybe they move into the horizontal position when you get a certain height off the ground

Yeah, I'm gonna miss the sound of an SMG clip being rat-tat-tatted

Well actually, the sound of duel wielded SMGs. Sometimes I'd pick them up in game just to hear them burp some rounds off. Probably getting tagged in the process, but at least with the downs-satisfaction of hearing two SMGs going off

That sorta reminds me of the Imperial Shuttles from Star Wars:



Albeit, more compact. Anyways, I like the new look.

[flibitijibibo]

The new look makes WAY more sense to me. I always wondered how those pairs of twigs/wings from the original games actually carried anything. Also, actual guns on the front! Woo!

The top... door, thing, does look a bit goofy though. Wonder why they de-smoothed it?
