I just did.... lawl!

That image just doesnt look like Reach to me, from what weve seen it looks too 'shiny'. It looks more like something from Legends.

I REALLY hope im wrong though.

Since HaloGAF is the only place in Gaming I go:
what's up with XBL? Hyrb's twitter says there may still be problems purchasing. My little brother tried to redeem a 1600 space point code, and it said "the card was not activated at the store, call them." We called and went back to Best Buy, they said it was something wrong on MSs end, and then gave us a new card. The new card says the same thing. Is it just the screwy Live right now?

So they gave you a new card and you still have to old one?

So you got 1600ms points for free. Nice.

I don't have live nor do I plan on getting it.

Do you guys think I should still buy this or rent?

The last Halo I played was Halo 1.

Wait for Halo Sims to come out



Srsly now, you should probably rent all the Halos you missed for starters

This is what I'm thinking. Looks a bit too classy for Vidoc or a cutscene (especially since we know Bungie won't be doing any Campaign related stuff for a while so that rules out a cutscene and the next Vidoc will most likely be Beta related).

Maybe an ad for the Beta or the start of the TV campaign?

Weren't some folks bitching at how, in comparison to Halo 3's schedule, there was already one or two TV trailers at this point in the cycle?

but I am a sheep
In the reflection of the helmet it looks to be construction tape, so could be some sort of an announcement that they are working on something...live action shorts in series form maybe? Something from 343 possibly.

Ya know it was around this time in 2007 that word of the cat helmet dropped. I still can't believe I bought that thing considering I hid it every time friends came over to hide my true nerdness. If that is indeed cat helmet 2.0 I'll pass this time around and stick with the $69.99 collectors edition come Fall....or Summer if it is indeed September 14th

It's one thing to read one's opinion and then counter it but it's a totally different thing to say "there is no reason for the X to exist", get slapped in the face by one's explanation of X's value, and then shrug the explanation off and repeat the same tired statement without rebuttal. What's one more junior on ignore though?

Well, if you ignore me then you wont see this, but I may as well post it anyway.

I wasn't discounting your argument. You feel that the AR will still have value even if weaker than the pistol, because it will take rare skill for a pistoleer to hit the headshots necessary. Fine. That may absolutely be true come the beta in May.

I don't believe that difference will be enough to secure the AR's value. Battles are rarely confined to a specific range, and almost never start at close range. Engagement typically begins at mid-range, cause Halo maps tend to be open even if the areas are on the smaller side. So if a pistol and an AR face off under typical circumstances, the pistol starts with the advantage. If the AR user plays smart and maneuvers the battle into close range to make the most of his weapon, he STILL has a disadvantage as far as the DPS ceiling.

Maybe the AR will chew through shields fast enough to compensate for the pistol's ability to cross that mid-to-close range threshold. We'll see May 3rd. Ill be more than willing to play guinea pig.

When I saw that screenshot I immediately thought of this.

Interested in finding out what this is. Something to do with Bungie I'm guessing, otherwise 343 would tease it on their own account, right?

I'm going to guess reveal of the live action tv ad to air before and around beta time (to start promoting Reach, and push some more ODST sales too), Bungie/Microsoft pushing videogame marketing to the next level with Halo yet again. Extremely unlikely but hey, it's fun to try and guess.

edit- ah, probably something april fools related that will break our hearts :(

Whatever it is, it's coming this week. I think the best guess right now is a live-action ad for Reach. Not sure what else to make of this. At first I was thinking it was too far from launch, but then I remembered that "Starry Night" Ad which was what... MNF in December, almost a whole year before Halo 3 was released?

I'm gonna call elaborate April Fool's Day joke on this one.

Note: Watching that Zelda live action movie trailer for the first time 6 months after April Fool's Day (last year?) made me a very sad and cynical guy. Also, I had high hopes for Bungle Pro.

That pic posted looks like CG.

Is it even the Chief's helmet? Looks like it, but not sure.

Halo 1 Remake being announced?

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!!

Keep dreaming.

Like others have said, this is probably just a screen from a commercial for Reach.

That reflection does look a lot like the ground from the opening of PoA ;p The Spartan's helmet is a Mark VI though. Damn you Bungle and your teases.

I doubt this is part of an April Fool's joke. You don't tease April Fool's jokes before April Fool's Day. That's just cruel.

If that happened, the world would implode. Looks CG though, Halo movie reboot confirmed?

It better be something uber cool though, CG movie or game, not interested in more anime.

Too true. :lol

Realistically speaking, I honestly have no clue what it could be. I tend to not look into these things too much, as it would drive me crazy.
