The original leak with just the three pictures was disappointing but the video, which will probably be the one remembered, was just so damm meta zany.

I mean shit, that headline will forever be remembered on here.

What weirds me out about that video is that somebody recorded that video, put music on it, hooked up a TV and recorded it on a VHS tape. Then goes to a barn, references every Halo leak that ever happened and goes into Blair Witch project mode. I mean, no sane person could come up with this.

Agreed, I really liked how Halo 2 did it, a few training unranked playlists with guests and the rest ranked.

I really think it could be viral marketing, there's just no good reason (other than to be a massive troll) to leak a video in this way. If you were a developer and wanted to get people talking about your game I can think of much worse and more expensive methods than this.

It's the guy's only video on YouTube, which could either be to preserve anonymity or because someone at MS created it recently. Also, it appears that MS have made no efforts to have the video taken down.

"Hell no" to improved sound functionality? Lol, you act like sneaking wouldn't be possible if you can hear people running around. I assure you people still sneak up on people all the time in games where you can hear other players very well.

RE: Footsteps

Reach has a pretty perfect balance. If you're listening for them (ie someone's in your base) you can hear it, but it's not loud enough that all you hear is stomping and clattering throughout the level.

Sorry, you care too much about the franchise. Gotta give it to boring bad people to play instead.

The cancelled 4 preorders (3 borderlands ultimate loot chest 1 darksiders 2) without giving any reason. I contacted customer support and they said they didnt know and sadly could not reorder them because they are out of stock. WTF

I preordered Borderlands 2 ULC before it was even announced they stocked it

No one is saying it needs to be over powering, but it should definitely be more pronounced.
As I said earlier other games get this right ( gears 3, bf3, cod) there's no reason halo can't.

Trying now!

Bought Anniversary a few months ago, but it didn't come with a code for Reach so I have to swap over the discs :P
