The question is: Will the DMR+plasma pistol still be called the Noob Combo?

Joystiq has these, but it's more difficult to grab the larger size on my work computer. Here's the smaller versions if you want them (no watermarks apart from Bungie's)
Can't wait to explore this place. First few games are going to be pointless in regards to stats.
I'd take a Halo dildo over a pair of boxers any day. Wait, that came out wrong...Shake Appeal said:
moving this here for discussion
while for the most part i agree, i do hope the "ice skating" is improved. in one of the vidocs you see a spartan (or was it an elite) use the grav. hammer then immediately skate around in that same still animation for a split second. ice skating is also clearly seen any time the armor lock AA is used. after disengaging it, players can move around with the animation not matching their motion.
a nitpick, but its pretty jarring IMO and something that i havent really seen mentioned but i'd LOVE to see fixed.

Kind of a small nitpick, but this is probably going to be the same situation for me. With every MP game, I usually set out to explore the maps first and get a good feel of each map before I hop into any online games. Having to learn a map while playing is pretty jarring to me. The first few matches of the beta are going to be a bit rough for me.squidhands said:

You know how you can kill an enemy thats assassinating your teammate? I was wondering if you can Assaassinate someone who is trying to assassinate yourteammate... if so, that could make a hillarious train of assassinations in which hardly anybody dies because they all got saved except for the final assassinated dude. The possibilities, hillarious train.... or hillarious flight assassination traing :-o

Halo Reach: Combat temporarily forgottenGhaleonEB said:
Same. At least this is the beta (preseason), and once the final game gets shipped I'll be spending a lot of time in Forge to learn the maps without wanting to yell "timeout!" to the guy shooting at my face.Dax01 said:

I have only gotten the chance to read through the 1up article, but I hadn't heard about elite v elite slayer before reading it. I am guessing it was discussed earlier and I missed it, but that sounds interesting.

I hope there's a bumper jumper control option similar to Halo 3. Between playing Halo 3 and Left 4 Dead 2 a lot recently, B is the correct button for reloading.

Awesome OP! Ghaleon and m0dus do it again. This Beta is going to be SWEET!!

Really, I don't like B as the reload button at all, X is fine and so is RB.

*Moved from older thread*
Where did I say Halo was Gears? I was only making a simple comparison of a similar move where you have the option to use it and therefore it isn't forced. Don't see them complaining about it at all.
Let's see... You know that "Spawn on your battle bro" thing that everyone is excited about? That originated from Battlefield Bad Company. Does it enhance the gameplay? Absolutely.Kimosabae said:

I don't own ODST but I am tempted to buy it just for the beta :lol I would enjoy ODST too but I was never really interested in it.

Thanks for the go ahead, owner of said avatar.
Thats pretty cool, is it exclusive to pre alpha players?
It will be awesome if everyone who plays the beta gets it

So, hopefully today I can find some time to start rehearsing the song with my Pops. The title for the song right now is "Dong All Day Long", but of course that's subject to change. :lol
I wish I could let you guys hear the Tuba part. I think it's sounds awesome.

Your argument is bad, your basically saying that assassinations are dissapointing because they dont add anything to the game, theyre "a wasted opportunity". If Bungie rehualed the assassination system people would be pissed, this is just a nice fun little extra feature which builds on the established and already brilliant system.
Sorry man I usually respect peoples opinions but your first post said something along the lines of Halo having no depth, and this post targetted grammer, it really does seem like you havent got anything good to say :lol

Is anyone else getting a Halo 2 vibe from the Reach Plasma Sword? Looks hot.

That looks an awful lot like one Mr. Vociferous, but with a fly new sweatshirt. I am green with envy right now.Blueblur1 said:I want one of these.

EDIT: Yup, it's him. And he's playing Xbox 360 Dashboard right meow. I'm sending Jedi Mind waves of jealousy over the internet at him.
Just so you know, the DMR kills in just about the same number of shots as the BR and is hitscan. Basically, it's much better than the 3 BR, from preview info. The spread and travel time with the BR make it difficult to succeed with past mid-range, and the spread makes it variable at mid-range even.Strider2K99 said:Just realized there's no BR.
And I don't want to hear about the Marksman Rifle or whatever.
I think the Donger sounds awesome.
How much was the H3 legendary? $150 sounds great for a game I'm going to play as much as this. Edit: $130 last time, I see. Well, cat helmets prices have seemingly shot up. I'm not worried though. Oh and forgot to say: I am really pumped for Yetis song :lol

$130 was already too much.
Its pretty bad if the Legendary edition has a unique peice of armour, if Bungie goes down the stupid route of locking pre-made in game content I will be shocked. I just dont expect that from them.
The Sarge Johnson thing for ODST was different as it didnt cost extra.
