I dunno if you read that page but that's a huge mindfuck, fiction-wise. If Cortana

has isolated the kernel that will auto-terminate, that would essentially give her the ability to live forever, which, I believe, would help in canon explain why the hell she's not gotten the axe yet. Additionally, rampancy awaits.

I've read it now.

Interesting, to say the least. And the page is open on november the 7th. xD

Reposting for the new page:

Huge-ass pictures of the LE.

I mean HUGE.

Have a look at the blue patient card on the left of the Halsey's book.

"patient name: S- 117". Hi there master chief!

 

[Shishka]

Wtf is Carney standing next to? Box looks different and he looks smaller (more so than usual).

What are you talking about? Same boxes in both pics.

hehehehehehehehehe

Wasn't she rampant in Halo 3? I thought the whole deal was that she was the first AI to pass the rampancy stage. Maybe I played Halo 3 completely wrong :lol

And those LE pictures...goddamn. I seriously can't decide what edition to get. The Limited looks so good, but if the Legendary has behind the scenes I'll need to get it. But what the hell would I do with that statue.

They're in all the AIs "that matter." I don't think that would

prevent rampancy. It's designed to kill the AI.

 

[Subtervotion]

You guys just never played Pirate Ships.

 

[kittens]

Cortana has been one of the more dynamic characters in the Halo saga. I loved the direction they took her in Halo 3, even if the execution wasn't all that great.

Seeing her become some sort of

Spoiler

omnipotent pseudo-villain

in future sequels would be pretty awesome... Not sure if I want it to go that way, though.

PS: Does this discussion warrant spoiler tags? It's pretty much pure speculation, right?

 

[user_nat]

LE isn't a metal case this time? Atleast it appears that way in pictures, which sucks.

 

[RebornYeti]

The Legendary Edition looks so tempting, but I think I would still be pretty satisfied with the Limited Edition.

 

[Striker]

I thought the elephant sucked personally, and won't miss its absence should it come to pass.
The only thing I liked about it was the horn.

I didn't hate it, but it wasn't fun to drive. Mainly because it's placed in a bad map like Sandtrap.

And flag/bomb locations should not be on it.

I think one of the biggest things that hindered the Elephant was that it was very limited. You could only drive in a circle and down the middle, it was incredibly slow, and it lacked firepower. A reworked Elephant could have potential.

I just want a drivable Pelican/Phantom/Spirit!

 

[Lazslo]

Hey HaloGaf were playing some customs/matchmaking- Join Dani's game bitches.

 

[neoism]

 

[urk]

Not gonna lie; I veritably chucked upon reading the statement.

We need to get those long-rumoured killing carney comics, stat!

Sad to say, they are too wretched and violent to be seen. Even on the Internet.

 

[Kibbles]

The Legendary Edition looks so tempting, but I think I would still be pretty satisfied with the Limited Edition.

This, plus $150 is a huge turnoff. $100 is the most it should be for any legendary edition. These price wars are going the opposite way they should, every legendary edition I see of a game as time progress, the more expensive the next game is. Like... what the hell?

I think it's Human Weakness that covers this in Halo Evolutions.

Bullocks. I've seen both two girls one cup and three guys one hammer (or a few dozen seconds of it) on the internet. There is nothing killing carney could have that is worse than either of those.

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

Man, I'm gonna break that sniper barrel the 1st day I get it. But it's worth the money!

I'm pretty worried about that too, I hope it's made well and out of sturdy material.

 

[Lazslo]

Hey Urk, could HaloGaf get one of the first community slots for Halo: Reach's "Bungie Favorites" section if there's going to be such a feature? That would very kind of you.

 

[Nutter]

So is Bungie going to have a panel at PAX this year?

Need to know so I can buy the appropriate pass.

 

[Louis Wu]

Another reason to be sad if you aren't going to SDCC: McFarlane's giving away a signed Reach sculpt at the Halo Universes panel.

(On the other hand, if you WANTED to go, but didn't have tickets, they released a few returned 4-day passes today:

Sign up soon.)

We would need a Two Box v2 well before we would be ready for anything like that.

Oh hell, I'm really trying to talk myself out of spending the money on the Legendary edition. But that statue is so damn sexy!

 

[GhaleonEB]

First time I have a good sense of scale for the sculpture.

It looks nice.

 

[Trasher]

Alright, what do I need to do to get that Jun cardboard display?


Also, did you guys see that you can click on this picture and read a page of the Halsey journal?

Yep, and you can also easily read a couple more here:

Digging the sketches, despite the fact that the content was verbatim out of Fall. Also, interested to know what operation TENDRIL was/is [insert dick joke].

 

[Tashi]

LE is pretty nice. I like that Halsey Journal.

 

[Lazslo]

Has anyone heard anything about the Halo 3 DLC yet? Just saw on Xbox Live that Halo 3 DLC (Legendary and Mythic) will be 600 Points total. 100 Points for Legendary and 500 for Mythic. Sorry for the shity Iphone Video.

 

[Neverender]

I'd get the Legendary Edition if it wasn't $220 in Australia. Fuck that!

Also if there is going to be more content in the LE than previously announced I wish they would have said so already. It's pre-sold out here. Booo

 

[Zeouterlimits]

Would need to be earned, surely .

faaaaaaaack.... and I thought £95 was bad. Question, where's the "making of" stuff? It was awesome watching that for Halo 3, but its not listed in any of the editions.....? Suggestion: stick it on Halo Waypoint

Seems some lucky people are playing Halo Reach's campaign right now at some Microsoft event.

http://twitter.com/Fantaman

Back at the Microsoft event again! Time to play some Halo: Reach single player campaign.

And Game Informer's Dan Ryckert at Bungie:

http://twitter.com/DanRyckert

At Bungie working through some of the Halo: Reach campaign. It's looking pretty damn good.

 

[Popeck]

I remembered that Ghaleon had a Twitter account and so I searched for him. Imagine my surprise, when this popped up: http://twitter.com/GhalDax. Neither Ghaleon nor Dax, but a well balanced masterpiece.

Aww, I'd like to play Reach campaign at the moment too! Well, at least there will be some video and screenshots after Comic-Con: http://twitter.com/bungietweets/status/18582747454.

Edit: I wonder if all the videos they'll be showing will be up on Bnet. It'll probably be up on Waypoint, though.

Expected, but nice to have it said. The question is, screens and videos of what. Still thinking Forge, while the print media will cover campaign and whatever else they're seeing at the summit.

Edit: another bungietweet: whew, awesome night of Reach multiplayer with media pals! Gulch + Falcons + Scorpions + Hogs + Armor Abilities = omgsogood

It was hinted in the Bungie Day video, but it's good have confirmation that we'll finally get to see the Falcon in action.

rofl - Build your own Oonsk

Download the template, and make him from cardboard. Oh, just THINKING about how some of HaloGAF will react to this makes me smile. :lol :lol

 

[Blueblur1]

One of HaloGAF's many contributions to Halo. Awesome.

 

[Hypertrooper]

Alright, what do I need to do to get that Jun cardboard display?

Ask a game store owner. My friend is a gaming department manager, i will ask him if he is able to get one of those.

 

[metareferential]

I'm pretty worried about that too, I hope it's made well and out of sturdy material.

If I'm recalling correctly, I remember someone said or wrote somewhere that the weapons are packed separetely to avoid damages during shipping.

Am I going crazy?

EDIT: omgoonsk.

They're using Bungie Day and Comic-Con just to show off a single map. At this rate we won't see Forge until France leaks it.

I'd kill somebody for that Emile cardboard cutout.
