isn't there also a sanctuary remake?

also, no info on the new wildlife or world makes me sad, space squirrel and porky will be missed.

Asylum.

 

[thetrin]

Oh man, m0dus...now I want a name logo!

(first to say this )

 

[Sikamikanico]

Great thread, kudos to all involved.

Very excited for Reach now - I've got the console preorderd, along with the Legendary edition and a Reach wireless headset.

3 mates are coming down to attend the midnight launch, and then back to my abode for a week long LAN. This game is going to be awesome.

Can't wait.

 

[Tashi]

Awesylum.

fixed

[Cynar]

[Broman1978]

<3Bungie

 

[MacBosse]

This OT was so awesome it had to be posted TWICE!

 

[godhandiscen]

Hahaha, I like Ghaleon written with the shoulder pad as the 'a'.

 

[WJD]

Best thread.

 

[Zeouterlimits]

I missed the first 100 posts of the OT due to sleep? Curse you timezones & work!

1 week left! It's wonderful. Remember the irc chat last year when it was announced? Or when the reveal trailer went live at the VGAs? (sorry again Cocop >_>)

1 week until Noble Team and I kick some Elite ass, and have so much fun trying to do it.


Great OP guys, hats off to Ghal & m0dus as always.

Where do I sign up to Helmetify Jeff?

 

[godhandiscen]

And we all remember what happened to that thread.

Stinkle's cat makes me laugh every time.

=p

Here's hoping that Bungie has finally been able to put out a better campaign than Halo: CE's. I believe.

Don't set yourself up for disappointment like that. I've thought that way before every release and have been disappointed every release. :lol ODST being the least disappointing.

 

[DodgerSan]

Oonsk sir, show some respect :lol

 

[LAUGHTREY]

Only 518319 seconds left zomg.

 

[equil]

All this info, makes me even more hyped.

 

[derFeef]

Oh my what a glorious thing to spot in the early morning. Fantastic |OT|
So, and I hope we can put down the differences I had with some HaloGAF members. Would LOVE to play firefight or customs some day. *hugs*

 

[Ninja Kn1ght]

Reach looks awesome. I kinda want the Legendary edition just for that flame effect.

 

[Sikamikanico]

For any UK Halogaffers, Microsoft are doing one of their cringe worthy celeb events in London - hit this link if you're interested. It's a 10 minute walk from my office, so if you win, bring me!

I went to the Halo 3 premiere launch at IMAX in Waterloo, they gave out free copies of the game and a t-shirt at the end.

Would be worth it I think!

 

[LordAlu]

Quality work with the OP. Kudos to Ghaleon and m0dus!

Not long to go now. In honour of this momentus occasion I shall post an image of the Legendary editions we have sat in the stock room at our store...

STOP TEASING ME!!

 

[Neverender]

Do you have a pic with something else to show the scale?

 

[LordAlu]

Do you have a pic with something else to show the scale?

I'm in work this afternoon, i'll make sure to take one with some other items next to it You can see the age rating on the box - that is the same size as the age rating on a normal game box.

 

[verbum]

Do you have a pic with something else to show the scale?

Look at the box below, it has the dimensions in inches.
So roughly 2 feet high, 2 feet wide, by 1 foot deep.

 

[Mik2121]

Do you have a pic with something else to show the scale?

Check the handle thing at the top and imagine your hand just fits inside there. That's enough to get an idea

 

[Shake Appeal]

This thread is the start of something wonderful.

Yup, and the Spiker...

Even if you find a proper render of the Spiker, don't use it. I want it to remain as that throwaway remark in the OP. Honestly, who give a damn about a Spiker????

 

[Hixx]

Oh how I regret being poor after seeing that pic. So, so poor

 

[Darkflight]

Awesome OP Ghal, just one more week!

 

[LordAlu]

Oh how I regret being poor after seeing that pic. So, so poor

You don't have to go into work everyday and see them all stacked there... and being unable to open one, let alone take one home with you. :,(

 

[derFeef]

This video shows it pretty well. Turn off audio if you are afraid of minor campaign spoilers though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idBRNuwQ0J8

I do. Easily one of the best weapons(in terms of design) in the Halo universe. Also, I used it plenty in Halo 3/ODST. Not in multiplayer of course. :lol


Also, if anybody happens to get Legendary early, can you please post dimensions of the statue itself? I seriously think I might need to buy a new shelf, or find somewhere else to put that thing...

 

[Greyvvolf]

Seeing that picture of the Legendary Edition makes me glad I pre-ordered it. Can't wait!
I already saw someone in my Cousin's XBL party playing the game. I took a quick look at his profile and he had unlocked at least four achievements.

Spoiler

He had a helmet on his avatar; I think it was Jun's.

He is from Calgary, apparently.

 

[Monocle]

Ghaleon: Check your PMs!

Here's a big version for you to use if you want it. Sorry, I won't let people miss it. I'm foregoing the usual subtlety with this one.

This is a work of genius, sir. Oonsk even has the little "UNSC" on his forehead!

 

[Zeouterlimits]

A prime example of UBS - Unintentional Brute Speak.

 

[Chinner]

nice thread bro.

Deep down, thats actually why i bought the legendary edition.

STOP TEASING ME!!

Just spent 2 minutes staring at that.

Thinking about how I want it but can't afford it.

Need to get 2 copies of the game for LAN play...maybe I will just get one copy and have friends bring theirs over for the time being.

 

[Thermite]

Reach premium theme is up on the Marketplace for download. The artwork in the background is sexy, although I wish it didn't have "Halo: Reach" in the middle..

 

[zumphry]

Great OP, Ghaleon. Awesome artwork, Modus. Love how it feels like Halo 1-type graphics, but Reachified, if that makes any sense.

Reach is going to be super

Spoiler

fucking

awesome

 

[Hydranockz]

First and last Bungie Halo OT I will be posting in? /bittersweet mode

Let's kick this pig!

 

[FunkyMunkey]

Anyone buy the new theme that just released on the Reach countdown thing on the dashboard? Called Noble Team Premium Theme I believe.

How is it?

 

[Shake Appeal]

Oh God, I forgot about this. Day one MP is going to be ugly.

 

[Spitz]

Thx for that great OT you guys rock.

I have holiday till the end of next week and hope that the street date gets broken here in Germany. My Limited Edition from Amazon UK will arrive days after the official release. I will buy a normal copy to start playing and sell it as soon as my limited arrives here.

 

[Gui_PT]

Great OP Ghal, as always.

We're less than a week away from having this baby in our hands!

 

[Shake Appeal]

Reach premium theme is up on the Marketplace for download. The artwork in the background is sexy, although I wish it didn't have "Halo: Reach" in the middle..

Is this a US exclusive? Can't find it anywhere.

Edit: oh, found it. I thought it was free!
