OK, I just saw the ViDoc and Forge 2.0 looks awesome. Retooled camera, object placement, colors, and new geometry to work with, all seamless incorporated into the file share system. I sense amazing things to come. Now that's some good stuff right there - worthy of a final installment by its loving creators.
Still not sold on the Firefight versus though. Are there any more details?
Edit: Nevermind - there's a whole nuther thread about it. Cheers.
Edit Edit: OK, that's about Forge, not Firefight. My bad.

The crazy thing is, amongst all these amazing features that will be shipped at launch, Forge wont reach its potential for a few months when there will be remakes for almost all of the halo maps!!!!
Yep, it's awesome though. So many options.AllIsOneIsNone said:
Thanks for the gif bomb letters.
It's 2v2, 2 spartans versus 2 elites and a bunch of covies. The covies don't get points, but the spartans get an extra life for every elite they kill and more for each human-controlled elite. After a time or at 0 lives, teams swap sides.

Who paid you to grab Dr. Pavel?
Wait so Elite is the only Covy character you can control? That's pretty disappointing.big ander said:

Wow. Considering that beta Elites versus Spartans was wildly overpowered in favor of Elites, this new mode seems... wildly overpowered in favor of Elites ;P
I do like the switchover to 2 versus 2 though, with alternating rounds. It seems like as far as co-op is concerned, its a radically different proposition playing with a team of two, and playing a larger co-op group of 3 or more. There's a different balance involved and its altogether a little less personal as the group size embiggens. Having the choice to go at different modes with a varying player count seems like a great way to go.
Did I miss it or have Bungie already confirmed matchmaking support for Firefight modes?
Man, this game is set to become the definitive hardcore game of the 360 generation.

Grunts would be awesome to play as, like Odd Job from Goldeneye.

Gears 3 still ahead in that regard. Every locust playable in beast mode. Shame that couldn't be done in some form in Firefight 2.0. Then again you would be getting killed in one headshot as a grunt/jackal, so I guess it wouldn't be much fun. :lol Hunters and Brutes would be badass though.NameGenerated said:

Blessed are Bungie. Endless frags upon them.
While I agree that it sounds amazing on paper to play various Locust beasties, the proof is going to be in the pudding and I'm dying to see how that will actually play out.Kibbles said:

I think any of them could be fun to play as actually. What's a skirmisher though?big ander said:

New uber jackals. Nimbly ones that attack in packs at your flanks. Guess they died out after the operations on Reach.NameGenerated said:
That, and there aren't too many Halo enemies I'd like to play as. Being Grunt would be fun right until your entire squad took consecutive headshots from one dude across the map. From what I've seen, Gears has plenty of larger, meatier characters to play as.NullPointer said:
Edit: beaten to that point. Refresh moar.
It would be awesome to even play as the weaker covie as long as your name didn't pop up every time they looked at you. You could blend in and be assumed pretty non-threatening. Running around lightning fast as a skirmisher or using a shield as a jackal sound like a blast. You have waves of covie AI to help you out, you don't need to be on an equal footing as the spartans. Meh, happy vs is in Firefight either way. 3v3 woulda been preferred but I guess they couldn't get the netcode where it needed to be.Kibbles said:

Depends on how they(we?) limit the elite armor variations and health, and the number of players/health (1/2/3/4 on 4?), firefight versus could become a pretty interesting left 4 dead like mode, where players should attempt to properly coordinate attacks with to get the fullest advantage.
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the gears mode only Locust vs human ai?

Parting thought: The embarassment of features just got a lot more embarassing.
Its a great time to be into games gents. And its also great to see that there are devs out there trying to bridge the gap between the PC master race gaming experiences, with customization and deep investment systems, and the the more disposable, one-short-cinematic-playthrough titles that we tend to get on the consoles. Social file share, party portability, Forge map editing, fully featured co-op modes, player customization, character persistence, replayability, integration with bungie.net, and game recording put this game at the very forefront of what this entire gen has been about, when its all worked out.
Sorry to gush. Its just all good.

Just got up to check everything out.
DAMN SON. I.. wow. Talk about a really smart twist on Forge. In one sense it's a small bit worrying in that surely it must cost your resource budget some bit to have the areas connected like that.
Although the mocked LOD sounds awesome, would love to see the code for that.

Hmmm - Just looking through a Blog Post on MajorNelson.com - and I came across this...
For new Firefight screenshots and high-resolution images of the Xbox 360 Limited Edition Halo: Reach Bundle and accessories, Covenant Banshee Avatar item, and .wmv versions of the Forge World ViDoc and the Xbox 360 Limited Edition Halo: Reach Bundle unboxing video, visit (do not publish this URL): http://edelman.psni.com/public/Halo Reach/.
Now obviously, they said not to publish that URL...but they have by accident - leads to a parent directory and a load of Reach stuff - anything unannounced in there I wonder?
Get hunting!

There is nothing. Is just the press server and should not available for the publicSikamikanico said:

Nah, that's Microsoft's PR company's ftp, there shouldn't be nothing new. The stuff usually appears there some time after the announcements, never before.
But imagine, what should Forge World mean for single player environments? Of course there's no AI fighting in there, multiplayer tech is different than campaign tech, and it's using the same textures, but I think that map speaks for the new technology applied at Reach. There has to be some epic environments in the campaign.

Just watched the unboxing video, is there no bonus DVD this time, with the special editions?

It's so fitting that Forge World is set on a Halo Installation.

OMG at those remakes already made!
The Halo 2 Team Slayer playlist is going to be AMAZING.
This game looks so friggen good. No other 360 game even comes close to the amount of things you can do with/in this game.

Wow, GT has some footage of Firefight, and I think that soundtrack sounds really amazing.

Aw, too bad.Gui_PT said:
It sounds to clear to come from the cam footage, but was hoping it would come from Reach.
Also got a Inception feeling of that part of Forge world, also didn't notice the cat. And the headset looks really awesome.

Did you look at the breakdown for legendary?
Also, there are campaign spoilers in that unboxing video.
Most of us already knew that was going to happen though.
No, armor lock in the beta was a circle around the person: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWMa5NtwIxIKapura said:
I guess they just put that logo on drop shield and made a similar but new one for AL.
