You're one of them, mister complains-about-post-counts =P

The problem is not what is posted, it's how he posts it.

Post-counts I don't care about. If most of the substance is regarded to garbage or shit that belongs in an IRC chat, then sure. Ghaleon, for example, always has a high count in Halo threads, but at least he has consistency and posts about the actual game.

I have no problem with what Wise Man wrote. And it's true there's a group here who get overly sensitive over certain quirks. It's why non-regulars are often discouraged from posting more often. Then there's certain ones who try too damn hard to fit in.

Seeing my customized Noble 6's helmet in the opening scene is gunna rock my balls off.

 

[Oozer3993]

My top hat is much better than any helmet.

sure

Anyone else for some 200k FF action right now?

Why. Why would you even make me hope for that.
If it's that...I would have no words.

I set up the dreams, Mancannon crushes 'em. But that was the first thought I had upon seeing the final scene in the trailer.

I agree with your first paragraph, but the mock-ish tone of all his posts got really repetitive really fast. All he does is make fun of people liking features in the game. If he didn't do that, the posts would be fine, really.

But 4 posts out of 4 being about "wow, seriously, you guys are hyped about this or that? wow, really? I mean, is that really what you guys get excited about? Am I really the only one in here who expects cool stuff? wow" gets old really fast.

Edit: Won't continue discussing this though. No disrespect, but I don't want to fill the thread with posts like this.

I hate you all so very much with your codes. I'll never get a code cause I'm in the middle of nowhere in oklahoma.

So uh about PAX, who else is going?

Ill be sure to have impressions/videos of me playing in HD uploaded somewhere. New Maps and other hotness will be awesome.

Also, where is this opening cut scene everyone is watching.

 

[desertdroog]

The wall crawling/jumping Skirmishers in the firefight vid reminds me of an article pre-Halo2 where it was suggested that the aliens may have similar behavior and hide in shadows.

I don't remember the details or with whom the article interviewed. Here is hoping someone here remembers that and can discuss it in detail?

Because I'm really jazzed about the thought of such verticality in firefights with such a hyper twitch enemy in Halo: Reach and wondered what if for Halo 2.

Blim posted it a page or two back. The first stream is basically what the VGA trailer was, but up to date, and still looks gorgeous. The stream two is the actual opening cut-scene that shows us from a first-person view.

So in the latest vidoc is Halsley talking to Cortana? Is Noble team's goal in the end to ensure MC get off reach safely? Is this the important job/mission? I really don't know the fiction at all. Would just seem fitting to get 117 out safely giving the ultimate sacrifice and lead in to CE. Why else would you want to play reach to just die?

I'm more of a competive MM player. This is the first time I've found interest in the story.

That was probably from an EGM spread from November 2002. Interestingly, it also mentioned sprinting and reduced gravity, among a bunch of other things that didn't make it into the game.

There are two opinions on it - 1)It's Cortana, and 2)It's Auntie Dot, the new A.I.

Most of the evidence points to it being the new A.I.

What I've wondered is how will cut-scenes look with, for instance, you go into the campaign with two others and there's 3 Noble 6 characters with their own unique customization. Will it show one Noble 6 (the users), all the co-op players, or something else? Not sure if I've caught Brian saying one thing or another. :\

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

Don't worry, you're not alone in many of your feelings. Some people here are just way to quick to be bungle defense force and call you a hater.

Except it's painfully obvious he just comes into threads to bitch and troll.

I'd assume the host's Noble 6 will appear in the cutscenes, and the other players won't be visible in the cutscene. Similar to how extra players in past Halo games aren't shown in cutscenes.

Badass. With the music in the background it's like Brian was sent with Reach from the gods.

It would be the most glorious and shiny helmet that grants the hidden clan friends list on the waypoint dashboard.

Thanks for clarifying.

I won't be around my 360 till the weekend, but if you want to try Saturday or Sunday night (or any night after that) after 6pm PST, I'd be totally down! GT = popular revolt.

Kinda inconsiderate of them to abandon us after only 10 straight years of nothing but Halo.

untextured mesh? is that what we're calling muscle nowadays?

200k FF action???? now...

 

[xxjuicesxx]

Why would a 100% uploaded video thats 11 mins become 4 mins on Youtube and only be like a third of the video?

 

[minasodaboy]

The 5 minutes of bungie FF has me super pumped. That's exactly the kind of short burst of gaming someone with a job and family needs. Awesome.

 

[Dirtbag]

I hope that big wildlife monster thing from the photos a month back appears in firefight. Would be cool to have a beast round.

 

[Domino Theory]

Again most likely old but I like seeing how the Credits pop up in Firefight.

Which section of the Rocket Hog video is that from?

 

[Plywood]

I know, it sucks. But Reach will be awesome.

MS' super studio with Frankles will be glorious, Halo is in good hands. But it makes me curious for Bungie's next IP.

It blips on screen at about 2:05 for half a second or so.
