Halo: Reach Discussion

Found some pretty sweet info found in the Beta's code : http://www.360zone.net/halo-reach/18....html#post3572


Campaign maker? Seems pretty feasible to me, since I remember it being said in the first ViDoc that the AI wasn't going to be scripted whatsoever. The Shield Generator armor ability sounds quite a bit like a bubble shield to me.

POWER FIST! Oh my god, does that need some context. That's a lot of damn armor abilities. How are there going to be enough loadouts available to pick what you want? Hopefully, the retail version lets you swap on the fly, so they can have the armor ability versions of power weapons (POWER FIST!) strewn around the map to be fought over.

I wouldn't hold my breath for campaign maker. You need some level of scripting just to give the AI a vague notion of what it's supposed to be doing. Sounds closer to a custom playlist to me, which is a good feature for people that can get big groups together regularly.

None of this stuff is set in stone, in any case, but it is interesting.

Playlists

There will be a playlist just for Xbox LIVE Trial memberships
Some playlists will be limited to Xbox LIVE Gold memberships
Some playlists will be region specific
And some playlists require a certain rating to play

Halo 3 had the same exact things, so I doubt Reach will be any different.

(He also missed one of the lobbies.)

So I found out I have a child account, and thus I am not allowed to download rating pending or mature content.
I seem to remember Bungie saying that child accounts could access the beta, but I'm not allowed to access the beta video, which leads me to believe that I won't be able to access the beta, either. Do you guys have any ideas? Does anyone who is currently playing the Friends and Family beta have a child account?

One small note about the Welcome to the Beta video: our test team informs us that there are a handful of players who may not be able to access this video through ODST for reasons that are way too complex and technical to get into. Likely, you won't have any issues. The reason we bring it up is so you won't freak out in the unlikely event that it does happen to you - even if you aren't able to watch the video, you WILL still be able to access the Beta itself through the ODST main menu.

Wasn't hard to find....it's at the top of this page.
