I think you guys are jumping the gun.

Still gonna wait for full and confirmed info before I form an opinion.

Safe bet. Even if the pictures look legit.

I am going to wait and try it to form an opinion. I mean I thought Reach was going to be awesome and look how that turned out.

 

[Hydranockz]

I'm going to wait for the official line on such matters. The post seemed like it was making an awful lot of assumptions.

Naming conventions such as Spartan Ops and Spartan Points really don't lend themselves to being very... sleak names.

How can 343 take each AA out of Reach over a few months all the while reiterating them on their own game?

I'm gonna hold back on rash assumptions.

WHO HAS DAVID ELLIS CELL?

How Is Your Day Posted this, I TAKE NO CREDIT



astonished to be honest

I honestly do not know how to take this information. Unless it's confirmed legitimate.

 

[feel]

Just saw the scans, the screenshots are real for sure.... fuuuuuuuuuu

Still holding out hope that the info is somehow fake but it seems very unlikely.. :_(

In any case, a couple of Classic playlists that somehow emulate Halo 2/3 gameplay at launch please.

 

[op_ivy]

what does that even mean!? tell me!

 

[Slightly Live]

To be a fly on the wall of the 343 offices...

 

[TheOddOne]

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?!?

 

[wwm0nkey]

I honestly do not know how to take this information. Unless it's confirmed legitimate.

Honestly I think the Elite picture confirmed it was legit, unless someone was working on that model for a LONG time.

Also new scans.

DAT DMR!!!!!!!

 

[CyReN]

Overshield is back.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

what does that even mean!? tell me!

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?!?

You must see the light, young ones

Give in to the new Halo

 

[Fracas]

Google searched the image, it's from a movie that "contemplates life's biggest questions".

 

[op_ivy]

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?!?

light at the end of the tunnel...?

its real

 

[Shadders]

I really wish Frankie would hop in here and tell us this is all one big joke. Almost all of those points sound terrible. :'(

 

[wwm0nkey]

Carbine is back too

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?!?

I think it's from that shitty fucking movie The Fountain. There's a gif that's commonly used from it too. It's the one where the dude is staring into the camera all in awe and shit.

How anything Halo could be connected to that shit movie is beyond me.

 

[Trey]

Lol @ "Spartan points" and VR training.

 

[RebornYeti]

Need explanation. Lol

 

[Overdoziz]

Maybe he cut out the real pictures and pasted them onto pages with text he typed himself. Yeah, that must be it.

 

[Hydranockz]

Lol @ "Spartan points" and VR training.

Didn't Frankie confirm it wouldn't be as simple as "training" a few weeks back? He said it would be meaningful for the story.

 

[Arnie]

I like to think that if 343 really did hire Juices we wouldn't be in this situation.

 

[Rickenslacker]

Wasn't it said early on that there's a story behind red vs blue and it "wasn't something like training"?

 

[Poker Face]

this game seems awfully...

 

[Tashi]

Something about you annoys the shit out of me lol

 

[Slightly Live]

Holy shit at the new Cortana model.

Also, someone else is onboard the Forward Unto Dawn - the intruder alarm goes off and Cortana calls for help.

 

[Overdoziz]

They said it wasn't a civil war.

I sure hope do. I mean it's definitely possible.

 

[Dominican Power]

I haven't played Halo since part 3, so I'm looking to buy Reach for cheap, and was wondering how the game stacks up compared to the other iterations? Is Halo4 scheduled for release this fall?

did not see that...

As of about an hour ago, Reach kicks ass.

 

[Gabotron ES]

What's up with the retarded names? Spartan OPS, Spartan points... I guess you'll buy your perks/armor into the Spartan Cantina :/

Elite's arms look weird.

 

[Slightly Live]

did not see that...

It's a new page which I don't think anyone has because the Waypoint forums are down.

 

[Spawnling]

I sure hope do. I mean it's definitely possible.

I hope so. This game is purely COD in the future if this is the real deal.

 

[Poker Face]

Reach looks like the second coming of jesus at this point.

 

[Korosenai]

Forerunner vision and armor abilities returning?

This has gotta be a joke, right?

 

[feel]

First person DMR model looks pretty awesome. Always disliked the look of the Reach version.

I like to think that if 343 really did hire Juices we wouldn't be in this situation.

Have you read any of his posts the past year? With this crazy ass info I'm starting to think they did hire him and kept it secret. Plus Sage. And a couple of Cooking Mama guys.

 

[xxjuicesxx]

I like to think that if 343 really did hire Juices we wouldn't be in this situation.

Yea hire that Juices guy!

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

The people shocked at armor abilities returning; do you not remember the photos from months ago showing the armor ability pack on the back of the spartans?

 

[RebornYeti]

Holy poop at Cortana and that red elite! Looks.. amazing.

EDIT: I think what Frankie meant by posting that picture, is that we should all just keep calm. :lol

 

[wwm0nkey]

Ok so a few things

DAT CORTANA!
DEM ELITES!

 

[op_ivy]

actually, having taken a few minutes, aside from instant respawn and especially forerunner vision, it could still be good.

 

[Deputy Moonman]

wow, i spend 15 minutes typing some random response to a post by Bobs and come back to chaos. I would pick the absolute worst moment to make a lengthy post. And yes, the changes listed in the mag, if indeed it's real, sound very very bad..........

 

[Im_So_Pringles]

That definitely didn't help. Posting screen-caps from "The Fountain" could go both ways. I don't think this is the time to be cryptic or funny Frankie, the integrity of Halo's multiplayer is at stake; all hanging on the balance if this is real or not.

If it is, I'm very disappointed in you guys over there at 343.

The Halo 4 fake news fiasco has done more for Reach's image than anything in the past year.

But after a while of quietly sobbing by my keyboard I've accepted the impossible.
