Haha, Just add the robust tools in Forge to make the community reproduce classic games and you're golden!

Buck was never in Reach. Not sure where you got that from. The only game Buck has appeared in pertaining to the Halo series has been ODST.

Buck was in Reach in the Mission where you fly a falcon around New Alexandria

Free DLC is megaton for Halo fans!! Also, "alternate paths in Campaign??" I wish they would elaborate...

I really don't get the Buck love. What's so great about him?
He was. New Alexandria has several random objectives. In of those, you are ordered to escort Buck with your Falcon.
He's a character in the Halo universe with Malcolm Reynolds' face.

How did buck make it off Reach alive? Was he on the Pillar of Autumn?
Well, for starters, it's basically having Nathan Fillion at your side.
I really don't know this. Buck and Veronica talk about it on Coastal Highway, the last Halo 3: ODST mission, but never mention how exactly. He wasn't on the Pillar of Autumn, though.

The ODST theme song plays when you're escorting him even

Most people just love him because of Nathan Fillion. As a character, he's not really all THAT great.

I don't get the Nathan Fillion love either, lol. He seems alright, certainly more interesting as an actor than Buck is as a character.

The Elite

He was a man crush about 10 years ago when he was one of Whedon's people.
Now he's on a network procedural.

That elite cops a butt feel at the end. Nice.

Yep, Reach is a couple months before ODST.
I seem to remember Buck shouting something about it being like Reach all over again when the Covanent start glassing New Mombassa (or excavating the areas nearby with the plasma weapons)
Blasian? How do you know?
Yep, that's what they are talking about on Coast Highway, like I said. They never mention how exactly they got away though.
agree

Halo: Escalation shows her father as being East Asian and her mother being black.
Halo has been saying Guardians since like halo 2 I would say it's just bungie re-using their old stuff.

Holy shit, 343 is rectifying the mistakes Bungie made in regards to books being canonical or not.

They started doing that in Halo 4.
I love what Frankie said about Cortana and the legacy she leaves in the series, and how it's important to acknowledge the sacrifice she made in the previous game in this new release. The last time 343i said they were going to do something serious and real with regards to Cortana and the Chief's characters, and that they would explore some more depths of those characters, they delivered in spades. I think it's one of the key ways in which 343i is a better steward of the franchise than Bungie imo. 343i from the sense I get from them as a studio, enjoys the extended fiction more and is more willing to dive in and tackle certain things in the games. So when they say they're going to focus on how the Chief copes with the loss of Cortana I believe them because they absolutely proved they will do and tackle what they say they will with Halo 4.

Very excited about the audio improvements also. That was one of the more awesome improvements in Halo 4. Loved the mjolnir noises that would be made when the chief broke into a full sprint. I liked being able to hear more of the armor and how heavy it was. Sound design was just fantastic all around.

I have never been so happy to hear about an fps until I read this. My interest in halo 4 and 5 (but still upbeat and hoping) was a passing 'heh'. Now I am very much excited.
