Halo: Reach Campaign Trailer

I havent wanted to bring it up in case I'd be setting anyone up for disappointment but in a couple of shots I think I've noticed some shutter speed and focus shenanigans going on in a select few of the screens. I bring this up now because the shot below from the BWU really looks like the mongoose is out of focus or has some motion blur to it. Could just be me but it could also be expanded theater features.Letters said:
Haha, shut the fuck up. I'm hopping on now.Ramirez said:Eazy, I guess I'll slum through a 200K Firefight for my Marty achievement.
@Ramirez You can do that achievement in splitscreen, leaving your main player hidden somewhere while you fight through the round with the second controller.
Console shooters wise, I think Uncharted 2 has a better Theater mode than Halo 3 too, I don't remember why exactly, but I do remember thinking that after I fooled around on it for about 45 seconds last year. This would be the time for Bungie to leave everyone in the dust again.
YES!! go lybertyboy!Alienshogun said:
Game data, because they showed a bunch of theater controls including camera angles. And there's also this screen that suggests that they're going further than Halo 3 by letting people stitch together different segments of a match to make a single highlights clip (which will be uploadable to some site).GhaleonEB said:

I do think that the Black Ops editor will be part of some kind of subscription service. There has been some rumours about that, and I believe Activision will test their concepts with Black Ops.
And what did I say about Gamescom! I wouldn't mind a Vidoc concentrating on the sound aspect of the game: music, voice actors, and sound effects / tech.
Any news on the goodie we're supposed to hang onto our old Halo PC CD keys for? I assume it's a small tidbit in the armoury or some other minor visual flourish.
I was going to wait until the 14th to change my avatar, but I rather like the batch I made so I uploaded them tonight. Seven in all and they're Nightfall themed (so I should remain recognizable).

Thanks for the help with firefight Omlet, Ram, and Thermite.
For some reason our Windward match didn't net me the achievment so that blows but I'll probably get it out of the way this weekend.

Kinda random, but I just hope I love at least one track on the soundtrack as much as TRAFFIC JAM from ODST. So badass.

Bungie will be on it much quicker this time I'm sure, they've got some great tools in place to detect and end this stuff. Even if it proves a persistent problem, we'll all be moving on to Reach in a monthKibbles said:
I wonder if the Halo 3 diehards will last as long as the Halo 2 guys did. With the rather radical changes in Reach (Bloom, AAs), I can definitely see some people not wanting to migrate. Dunno though, the Halo 2 guys were pretty adamant.

This, it's one of the big features they've been quiet on.Letters said:
I've bought Dew a few times in an import candy store, I'm sure you can get it if you track it down. Tis alright.Hydranockz said:
Well, since we're sharing little Halo stories, was playing Social Slayer by myself earlier, got matched against a couple generals, and a couple of brigs, who proceeded to trash on my inferior team on Last Resort, I spent the whole game dying, I probably had a -7 by the time it got to to about 48-38, then I practically single handedly dragged my team to an epic last minute comeback to win it 49-50 (they got the 49 when we had 42 I think). I even ended with a positive k/d after that awful start, shit was clutch lol, made me realize again that I still really love Halo 3 and its ability to occasionally provide moments like these (I don't think I saw a single great last minute slayer comeback in the Reach beta, it was just to easy for people to get killed in some unfair way and give up the last few kills).

You could rewind Firefight clips in the beta, couldn't you? That would suggest it might be possible in Campaign. Also, considering how fast maps loaded in the beta, I think the days of waiting "1-2 minutes" for anything (except Matchmaking, LOL) are probably over.Thermite said:

No problem, d00d. If I'm online when you go for the 200k on Windward again, feel free to throw me an invite.
Shake Appeal said:
Firefight clips...in the beta? You mean matches on Overlook or what? ;P
Those were my only two real complaints about Theater mode in Halo 3, so if Bungie improves those two aspects (and there's no reason to think that they won't), I'll be more than happy. Anything else would just be icing on an already sweet cake.

I just started listening to that link of that song while I was working on my "Alas, Poor Yorick" achievement for in 3Ball just now, and I started to get on a roll with 1 oddball kill, then 2, and got it with the 3rd right when that song started to climax...Net_Wrecker said:

Heh. How much is it in Japan?Mik2121 said:Wooo... I know nobody cares, but the store near my house (finally!) started doing written pre-orders with tickets and I'm #3 for the Limited Edition!! Wooohhh...
6,800 Yen, that's about $79 because the dollar is pretty low right now (two years ago that was about $68), but just so you get an idea, many games here are priced $6,500 (your average for current gen games) and some games like FFXIII was like $9,800 or something crazy like that.Zeouterlimits said:
So yeah, pretty cheap for a limited edition.

60? Nice.
Think limited willll be 70 here (but I'm getting Legendary).

Yup. And that's with the current exchange rates.. but two-three years ago, when 1 euro = 165 Yen, a brand new game would cost the equivalent of something between 30 and 40. But then again, back then the Euro was way too high. But in relation to how much your average person here gets paid, I guess a 6,800 Yen would be something slightly above 60.Zeouterlimits said:

If jetpacks aren't in arena games, I'm not playing arena. I don't understand how adding jetpacks is any more different than adding sprint. I scoffed at the beta for having slayer pro/classic be sprint only, like having sprint doesn't totally change the game or something. Who decided this? A true slayer pro/classic wouldn't have any of the new armor abilities. omg jetpacks are cheatingWJD said:

Waypoint is going to have a clip up? Damn. I already have my xbox packed up for the move to my dorm. I hope it's available on youtube.

I really only got annoyed by the jetpack in a few games, and that was just because we lost control of the rockets, and the jetpack guy was just raining hell on us with it and a few grenades.
I generally avoided it though, unless I was trying to get an angle for a nade or to clean up a headshot on a team that was camping. But those situations were pretty rare.

I rarely play competitive Halo (BTB baby), but I feel armour abilities add a sense of randomness which shouldn't be in something like Arena.Deputy Moonman said:If jetpacks aren't in arena games, I'm not playing arena.

Anythings game outside of that though.

Not going too nuts over this because you have to have custom assassinations for grunts, jackals, etc. There probably won't be that many for Spartan vs Spartan, which is what really needs the most variation since you'll see them over and over in MP.DancingJesus said:
But seriously, who assassinates players in MP? There's no point really.

Assassinations screwed me over in the beta 80% of the time.
Has anyone else noticed how time and again in the gameplay vids since the beta you see people trying to get an assassination and it not working? Thing is most of the time they're right behind the other player and the animation just won't go.
