Halo: Reach Discussion

Wonder what this is going to be.

Oh shi-

A countdown. This is serious business people.

Edit: Just pointing out that that's a .org website and not the .com website Bungie has up.

Didn't even know Bungie put up a website for it.

Going to be something fan made. Bungie uses the .com variant. HBO already has the bungie.org domain, so I don't see them being the ones. I'm sure it's just another person trying to take a stab at building a community; it'll probably turn into a page that says it's covering the game as news comes out. But we'll see in a couple days

e: didn't see the last few posts before posting

Also.
Decided to brush up some video editing now I've got power director installed again.
Now you're probably wondering what's different?
Well this is more of how I think the intro cut scene should have been like.

[t3h m00kz]

they could have done so much more with the cutscenes.

It would have been amazing to have actually SEEN noble 6 and the covenant cruiser plummeting into the planet

A Warthog run (just to remember the good times) that would lead to the Lone Wolf level we currently have would have been awesome to have I think.

I don't know, I think Halo 3 kind of overdid that..

I swear if the next game Bungie or 343 Industries makes tries to mimic Halo 1 in any way without it being a remake, I will go ballistic. I don't play games that mimic other games; if that were the case, I'd play the original game. In other words, I'm seeing more aspects of Reach that Bungie tried to turn into a Halo 1 reincarnation, namely the explosion radius of explosives and some other things. This isn't so much a complaint as it is me simply being irritated by horridly oversized explosions in Invasion; Banshee FRG is a nuke, the Wraith Mortar goes through walls, and the obnoxiously large plasmanade explosion can kill you even if a barrier is supposed to protect you. This is really just a rant, but if there was anything in Reach I think that should be toned down if possible....

I wanted to let everyone in on some upcoming changes that we've been working on, this is not a complete list and I can't give you a specific timeline. Please use this thread to discuss only the changes listed below.

FFA Arena
We'll be adding an FFA Arena, using the same maps from the Team Arena lineup. The initial gametype used will include the following settings:
* Loadout = DMR/AR/1 Frag/Sprint
* Motion Tracker Enabled
* No power weapons on map

Community Playlists
We're going to start cycling playlists featuring 100% community maps, the first of these will be 4v4 slayer. You'll also be seeing a Grifball playlist in the near future, as well as some updates to the MLG playlist (weapon spawn fixes included).

Team Objective
This playlist currently features a massive array of map and gametype combinations, so we're going to use your voting data to offer up a better lineup. The result will be that you'll see the options you want to play more often.

Big Team Battle
Big Team Slayer games are running a bit short, so we're going to bump these up to 100 to win. Snipers and Elite Slayer will remain at 75 for now and we'll continue to evaluate average game lengths.

Firefight Grab Bags
Lars has designed some more Firefight experiences for you all to check out, you'll probably see at least one of them in January!

The Cage
There is a new revision of The Cage that we're currently working on that includes some major changes that alter the flow of the map. I won't go into too much detail, but I will say that we're getting close to finalizing it and we'll get it in your hands as soon as it's ready.

The cage? actually fixed?!
Next they'll be saying they're removing Atom from match making.

[Warsaw]

How about they remove all Forgeworld maps from matchmaking? I can't think of a single one of those that I enjoy playing.
