Yeah, looks kinda like Halo 2 with less bump mapping and slightly faster grenade speed.




What the fuck? that AI was crazy, they were'nt lying. Seeing a constant change from Attack, Push Forward, Evade, Shoot from Cover, Attempt to flank and at the end he pushed forward but when he began getting shot he stepped back a bit until he realised the spartan was also pretty damaged so he pushed forward in a final attempt to kill the spartan. I cant wait to see this play out with multiple enemies at once.


Yeah, that Elite definitely thought that the Spartan was an Axe doused bro on his way to the Phish farewell tour.

cleaner: yes. no shitty grain filter, no ghosting and no strange anti aliasing method that hurts the picture quality. from a technical side, reach beta was much better (animations, details, weapons models, particle effects).

How is a grain filter and temporal AA hurt the IQ? also the ghosting which was annoying especially in the gun reloading animations is fixed in the retail version according to Bungie.

From what I've seen and played from the beta Reach visually was a step up from Halo 3 in almost every department except the annoying ghosting.

Wow this kid doesn't think stealing from Microsoft's servers is pirating

Off topic, but I absolutely love your avatar :D EXE is one of my favorite amines ever!

On-topic: that heroic AI is a little scary. The guy sucked, but imagine if there was more than one Elite :p

Legendary, 1st playthrough, hardest achievements, final destination.
 
Wow, must be awesome to be walking down a street and be offered a sealed copy of Reach by a shady guy 3 weeks before release.

I think his avatar is from the new MegaMan Online trailer.

Fighting against elite was the best gameplay experience at GamesCom and i cant wait to fight them on legendary.

I am pretty sure they fixed the ghosting, I ntoiced it in old videos, I don't notice it in newer videos.

Good enough proof for me. And it's clear many other things got a nice upgrade since the Beta.
 
S1kkZ said:
thats no excuse. keep that spoiler shit out of this thread.

Well considering he had it spoiler tagged and it wasn't like he was advertising he didn't do anything wrong, you didn't have to look and he wasn't trying to spoil it for anyone.

Yeah it has been confirmed fixed.

He originally only had 1 word spoiler tagged, don't get on anyone's case about something you don't have all the facts on. :lol

People are being way oversensitive about that "spoiler" it's something we have known for a very long time. He didn't give away any major plot points at all.

Granted, his spoiler tag was complete crap, and if it HAD been something that's actually a spoiler it would have sucked, but everyone has know from the get go that Noble team dies.

Halo reach legendary unboxing? Do you have a link mate? I would like to see the legendary edition and whats included.

Im not going to get the COD Black Ops car bundle, thats for sure, but maybe Reach, if its good:o)


Here you go.

It's literally spoiled by Halo 1 :lol

Yeah I know I read his post, I had all the facts on and there was no reason why you had to highlight the one word especially when it was a spoiler but don't get on my case for thinking your overreacting for no reason.

Edit: I do agree though that spoilers should be kept out of the thread but I am mainly talking about the one spoiler from that one post.

SPOILER BELOW Fo'REAL
Well he just said he watched all the death videos of noble team, which clearly implies that the narative is going to center around certain events leading to the death of team memebers. I.E. Play a mission with Carter and see how he bites it. It implies that as the story goes on there is going to be these big events of noble teams deaths. Also we did not know for certain that they were going to croak it, pretty likely, but we eren't certtain. So yeah fucking spoiler in my opinion.

You assumed you WOULDN'T see how they die, and that it WOULDN'T be a central theme during the missions they occur? I haven't seen any of the videos, but I can't see that NOT being something important to focus on during the storyline.

Yes, we knew for certain they would all die. If you didn't know before a month ago, the unboxing "vidoc" from Bungie a month ago confirmed it.

Leaving this thread. Seriously :(

If you're that sensitive you shouldn't have been here in the first place.

My whole point is that I didn't highlight the spoiler at all but I could still tell what the word was due to the nature of the sentence. :lol But in any case this thread is getting worse by the minute.


Alienshogun said:

It would have been nice to discover that in the actual game rather than from douche #1 and now you, douche #2. The whole thing is that no one was certain how it would play out or if
the actual events would be SEEN
but you guys have effectively ruined that subtlety.

Point is not everyone wants to know, we still want surprises, so a better spoiler and all this mess would have been avoided.

Anyone with decent reading comprehension who didn't want to know, now knows. It's bull.

Thanks, but it's ok. Some avoid this thread because of real spoilers, others like me don't like interacting with some of the nuttier fans of the Halo franchise.

Last message I will write in here, getting ridiculous.

Of course Reach will fall, but not everyone has watched that unboxing video you mentioned so many times. Could have been that the campaign only goes so far and Noble team survives for as long as the campaign goes. The rest could be history and the extended universe like books, comics or other games picks this up.
Thanks. :(

Maybe you just care for multiplayer - but I don´t and do want to get surprised. Don´t act so high and mighty and show some respect.

Except that it's not a spoiler at all. He gave no detail, nor did he talk about actual storyline. He only brought up something we already knew about.

If you're going to be that sensitive you should probably unplug your cable.
 
Zeouterlimits said:
Disagree completely. Take your spoilers else where, we've had this discussion already.

They aren't spoilers. Like I said, it's crap that's already been known. I'm just pointing out that people are jumping on this guys case for a really idiotic reason. If someone telling you Noble team dies is a spoiler for you at this point, one should really question how close you have been following this game, and Bungie's progress.

Actually I've completely avoided campaign spoilers. It's the element I most look forward to.

Agreed.
That and if you look at the expanded universe, a number of spartans did survive one way or another. The unboxing video was vague. All that shit isn't. One hour ago, I wasn't necessarily going into the game completely expecting what I've read here without trying to in any manner.

Discussing this brought jack to the conversation to begin with. If you do something that bothers a number of people and doesn't bring you anything, rather than argue, just drop it. How hard is that to understand?

And once again, I don't understand why it's tolerated to discuss videos made an illegal manner to begin with.

"Memorial to commemorate the ultimate sacrifice Noble team had to make" is not vague.

Yeah, it was vague. And you make a good point, there is a monument to another Spartan believed dead that actually is alive and well. The point is that we had no definite proof, and now we do on the account of high and mighty ivory tower douchery.


Ramirez said:
You guys do know in game canon that MC is the last spartan, right? :lol

smh

Considering Noble team itself is a retcon, there was a chance it would have been a misconception, especially with the appearance of Halsey.

Except when that memorial is presented to you IN GAME you also get shown that he is alive.

That video is employees AT BUNGIE explaining the statue, and it's meaning.

Noble team's death isn't a spoiler at this point.

I'm not that sensitive, but I can understand why some people would be pissed off.

However I myself
knew Reach falls, I did not know Noble team dies.

You have a hard time understanding that.
 
Cant resist to answer because some do not seem do understand.

Ramirez said:

We know that, but we do NOT know how much the campaign will actually show us and how far it goes. I have no idea why this is so hard to understand.
 
Ramirez said:

smh

Last Spartan II, there were still Spartan III's. Also non-game canon they've since added a few more Spartan II's that are still around like Black Team and Gray Team I believe.

It's not that I don't understand you not knowing they die. It's you not understanding that it isn't a spoiler. It's understood to anyone who knows enough about Halo, or anyone who has been following Bungie's progress with the game.

Every bit of advertising has even alluded to memorializing Noble team for their sacrifice.

Just because some people can't put 2 and 2 together, or didn't draw the conclusions from previous canon and therefore didn't "get it." Doesn't make it a spoiler.

That would be like someone who sat through episodes 4-6 of starwars only to blame someone for "spoiling" for them that Anikan turns into Vader later on in episodes 1-3.
