Halo: Reach Campaign Trailer

Gah, I hated night vision in ODST. Everything was so dark that I had to use it, and with it on I didn't get to enjoy the beauty of the environments - it just reduced everything to dark blue with candy-color stencil cutouts. Disappointed to see it in Reach.
It didn't affect the lighting in Halo 1. Reach could be the same way. Wait and see.

Also, has anyone made the new thread? I'll do it if no one has.

Going outside Zealot looks so awesome. Damn.

Edit: And Spire...Holy crap. I banking that may be my favorite map in Halo Reach.

It's not really worthy of a new thread, it's just more of the same. Besides having three or four Halo threads a week filled with non-news isn't exactly the best way to handle things.
 
If you guys don't want to look at the pictures, then quit coming to the thread, there's nothing to talk about aside from this stuff shown today, so it shouldn't be hard to stop coming here if you're that worried about being spoiled.

Very true. Let's keep the Halo threads to a minimum.

Okay, I understand, but I think I'm going to stay out of it. I was thinking a thread to discuss stuff openly and this thread can fill up with spoiler tags. The problem is I don't consider any of that stuff spoilers and some people will consider all of it spoilers. Someone mentioned earlier that MP maps are taken from campaign, so they're a spoiler. I don't know where to draw the line - are we spoiler tagging all MP, FF and Campaign related stuff now until launch?

My take is, I think officially released information and screens are by definition not a spoiler, and if people don't want to be spoiled they shouldn't be in a thread where that content is being discussed.
Yea I really wouldn't consider things released to the major media outlets a spoiler.

For real.
 
Pretty great video, mistake calling Zealot a remake aside.

Reflection looks absolutely amazing. The vicious assassination where one Spartan gets stabbed in the skull looks hellacious.

Spire also looks extremely large and fun to play. Question raises again, they note it is for Invasion. What the heck is going to be in BTB aside from Hemorrhage? :(
 
Ghal are you working on the official thread for Reach?

Looking forward to not having a new Halo thread pop up each week... I can understand (sort of) why GAF requested that we do it this way, but I personally think it divides the discussion to much.

You still have Boardwalk/Countdown and one more to go, no? I'm thinking most of the 4v4 maps are coming from ForgeWorld via remakes, so I could see 2 of those left being BTB.
 
Warning! Please remain calm!

According to this Youtube video, Reach has leaked.

If the video is accurate, then it's the beginning of the MAJOR leaks and spoilers that WILL ruin any and all of the surprises.

Bail out now if you don't want to be spoiled.
 
I thought Invasion maps could be used for other gametypes (We saw Race being played on Boneyard before) so wouldn't that be your big 8v8 maps?

Yikes.

If anyone posts major spoilers please tag and note. I don't mind minor spoilers (locations vehicles, etc) but don't want to know how the game ends. :D

The new campaign screen shots look amazing... I am really looking forward to finally getting this game home and immerse myself in the campaign experience.

Hopefully it doesn't get leaked again... hard to believe that Halo 2 had already leaked at this point (1+ month prior to launch)
YOU FUCKING JINXED IT! :lol :lol :lol

I'd be greatly content with 4-5 BTB maps. I suspect we'll get probably 2-3 from Forge World. Has Urk, Sketch, or Luke mentioned anything about Boneyard and Spire, two Invasion maps, being used for BTB? Both being asymmetrical is no problem since some greats from Halo 2 were the same way (Headlong, Terminal). Probably just being paranoid. :P

Hyrda,

Yes, I saw that once, too. But I'm speaking directly about MM and what process we'll see in terms of maps and playlists. I would love for Invasion maps to be settled in Big Team; BTB will be all about CTF, Assault, and Slayer.
 
All the news and screens are awesome. Hopefully campaign footage will be released also.

Edit* misunderstood what you said, thought it included spoilers.

From the little I know about how this all works...

When I game goes gold/final Xbox.com uploads the achievement data long before the game is released.

Modders can get this information easily and then using a modded box get the data onto their GT. (I apologize for the terrible explanation here...)

So what he has done is make it look like he has played it and unlocked all achievements at the same time.

I highly doubt the actual game has been leaked yet (though I am sure that's coming soon enough). For now this is just likely a legit Achievement list leaked (though Bungie already gave that info out).

edit: two things stick out to me that help confirm it's 'fake'.

1) He doesn't ever launch the game

2) he has all the achievements, including the ones that require MM....

A month out? Please be fake. Please be fake. Please be fake.
Sucks for everyone if true.
According to Devin, Halo 2 leaked a month prior to launch.

You know how it goes guys...

"From the beginning..."

I call bullshit. All it shows is the achievements with the descriptions which Bungie has already told us.

The only new info in that video (if it's real) are the point values of the Achievements. (The names and descriptions were all released last week in the Weekly Update.)

Dani's right, though - if it IS real, it means that the game is now in the wild - which means we WILL be seeing new vids with serious spoiler info.

Game hasn't gone gold yet, I doubt it has leaked.
 
It can't be real. Why would he be making this video just now, after hitting 1000/1000, and not the moment he had a leak of the game? And why would he not be showing gameplay instead of an achievement list?

It's a mod.
 
Demoncarnotaur said:

Nothing in the video but Achievements which Urk already published in the last BWU. The guy that made the video claims he has a copy of Reach and that he modded his Xbox to get all of the Achievements shown.

The Xbox dashboard looks legit but with modded content, I am unsure whether to believe he actually has a copy of Reach or not as he hasn't leaked anything from the game itself.

This however should serve as a warning. Major leaks will be incoming at any time now - there will always be a race to get the most leaks out first, as this video demonstrates.

I don't want people having their preferred spoiler policy ruined or having their experience ruined before the game comes out. If the video did contain real leaks I wouldn't have linked to it.

Well you have to be online in MM to get the Multiplayer achievements :p Maybe he can post the hoppers he played in.
 
Wasn't there a post on some Bungie Reach blog that they just released a build of the game to MS for certification back on July 30th?

I agree with Devin, that he simply modded the achievement data into an offline GT. That is of course unless he comes up with gameplay footage as he said he's going to start doing tonight.

Hope it didn't leak already. =/
 
Yes, because if I had a copy of Reach I'd totally make a video of the achievement list that everybody already knows, rather than of the game itself. :lol

Well the description says he modded it to give him all the points. If he uploads gameplay tonight like he says he will we will have our definitive answer.
 
I told myself I was going to do a complete blackout on new campaign stuff, but I can't help myself. I really wish I had encountered some of those things in the previews as a surprise the first time I played through Reach, but oh well. Sounds glorious. Now please do me a favor Bungie and don't release any more new campaign info after this, I don't have the willpower to stop myself. :lol

Genesis Knight said:
But...aren't those night vision screencaps in the previous pages? It looks like a more subtle VISR to me.

I think he's saying that there was night vision on the sniper rifle in Halo 1, and that wasn't an overly dark game. I wouldn't worry about it, unlike ODST I highly doubt the majority of Reach will take place in complete darkness.
 
I'm really starting to wonder what the first mission of the game is going to be like. In these campaign previews they did not get to play the first mission. In the achievement list that Bungie has released there are only 49/50 achievements shown, and the first campaign completion achievement is Complete the second level

What is the first level of Halo: Reach and what is so awesome about it that Bungie must even hide the achievement from us?

I think it's just the tutorial. :lol

I'm wondering if it opens up Lone Wolf style, with the first mission / tutorial level being some sort of solo infiltration / assassination mission. That would be pretty nifty.
 
He's not looking at his own profile, he's looking at someone else's.

He doesn't have a burnt copy of anything. :)

Once the Achievement data is propped to LIVE, people can pull it down. Which is why we already revealed it. So kids who live with their parents and seek fame and glory on the Internet don't have anything we haven't already shown you.
 
Louis Wu said:
But it HAS been sent out for certification.

(For what it's worth, I think the video is faked. :) )

Yeah, but that would be a major leak from within Microsoft then, rather than the typical leaks which happen when the game goes gold and goes out to be pressed to disk or distributed to stores.
