Mm-mm, looking sexy and sleek as hell. Those changes sound pretty sensible too; particularly the nerfing of armour lock.

 

[Rickenslacker]

That Headlong shot looks sexy. I imagine it'll look like this in-game though:

As for the Sword block change, I hope that they don't allow you to attack directly from sprint with it to compensate for that change. Otherwise the Sword just got a whole lot more frustrating.

Edit: Aww, looks like the skies are all orange with the destruction of a city in the background? I liked the blue skies in the still shot.

 

[CrazyDude]

So is this game multiplayer just repackaged from reach?

 

[MNC]

Headlong entirely lost its good design for some HD textures.

 

[Red]

Liking everything but stickies remaining on armor lock. Kind of defeats the purpose.

I LOVE the new art style on Headlong and it was my favorite objective map on Halo 2. The new art style fits it.

 

[-PXG-]

Anniversary is looking REALLY good. Great work.

 

[Soulstar]

Man I wan't to play some Halo again but I don't pay for XBL anymore.

 

[Rickenslacker]

Liking everything but stickies remaining on armor lock. Kind of defeats the purpose.

It kind of defeated the purpose of stickies to have them removed. Nah, armour lock will be a damage absorption tool now instead of a catch all pause button on everything.

 

[Mazer Rackham]

that Mk V suit is looking pretty sweet, cant wait for this to drop

 

[Prine]

Keyes. And it looks like his Reach model. And he doesn't look young to me. He's about 45, IIRC.

lol The sword block was a terrible addition in Reach. Blocking a sword with anything but a sword is random at best, and it neuters the sword in where it's suppose to be optimal. Can you block a sniper? A shotgun?

Im in complete disagreement here. Blocking sword was one of the best additions to Halo. Successive attempts at blocking sword lunges are futile after the intial block. Also gives me a chance and reduces the amount of unskilled sword kills.

I've NEVER been a fan of the sword, Reachs implementation of it is the best, of what seems to be a horrid multiplayer weapon.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

PC version.

goddamn it.

 

[Prophet Steve]

I can never tell when you're being serious. Art is one of Bungie's strong suits.

I have the same problem with that comment, not sure if trolling.

 

[strafer]

I do feel like the first one should be posted in higher resolution

 

[Slightly Live]

PC version.

goddamn it.

Are you really port begging in a Halo thread?

 

[jediyoshi]

I will miss that piss filter and rust. And dirt.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Are you really port begging in a Halo thread?

Yes. My problem is i can't play FPS games on console. I suck so much. That's why I'd love to see the halo franchise coming to PC too. Not xbox only. I'd buy two copies.

 

[base shagohod]

Have they confirmed replays/theater in CEA? Can't remember.

 

[FreeMufasa]

Looks like Halo 2.

 

[Sai]

Master Chief's model mostly fixed (now make him a little thinner around the waistline).

I think the Mark V is supposed to look a little thicker 'n' wider compared to Halo 2-3's VI.

Looks like Halo 2.

lol

Even Halo 2 Vista wishes it could look this nice.

 

[erpg]

Whoa, didn't expect to see that. Great map.

Finally, we get a good Halo. $60 MSRP?

40.

 

[Rickenslacker]

Whoa, didn't expect to see that. Great map.

Finally, we get a good Halo. $60 MSRP?

CEA is $40. The multiplayer is a map pack for Reach.

 

[Sai]

Unless Microsoft decides at the last minute that it should be regularly priced like they did with ODST.

 

[Woorloog]

Whoa, didn't expect to see that. Great map.

fix'd
CEA includes Reach multiplayer with the new maps though.

 

[ultron87]

So this means Armor Lock doesn't beat the Plasma Launcher forever anymore? That's somewhat sad.

You can still engage it before the sticky thing hits you, right?

 

[Neuromancer]

Unless Microsoft decides at the last minute that it should be regularly priced like they did with ODST.

Not happening (this time).

 

[JonCha]

Headlong looks good, Chief looks MUCH better and the TU is good. I just wish they would make melee three-hit kill, because sprinting and double beatdown is rage-worthy.

The shield bleedthrough should help with that.

 

[erpg]

I thought they were making melee three hits?

 

[Genesis Knight]

LOL, remember sprint+dubmelee in the beta? That shit was the ultimate weapon.

 

[Woorloog]

I thought they were making melee three hits?

For Classic modes at least. I doubt that's true for vanilla.

 

[FreeMufasa]

lol

Even Halo 2 Vista wishes it could look this nice.

It definately looks 360 level but the art reminds me of the Halo 2/Doom 3 era.

 

[Tunavi]

I thought they were making melee three hits?

It will be 3 hit/bleed through for classic.

The changes for Reach will be decided after they recieve feedback from the TU beta in october.

 

[JonCha]

The shield bleedthrough should help with that.

What in earth is bleedthrough?

 

[Rickenslacker]

Headlong looks good, Chief looks MUCH better and the TU is good. I just wish they would make melee three-hit kill, because sprinting and double beatdown is rage-worthy.

It's better now with melee bleed though. You can get like 3 shots on the sprinter and still simultaneous melee and kill him. Sprinting melee is going to be a lot less frequent I imagine.

What in earth is bleedthrough?

In Reach as it is, when you have ANY shield remaining, a melee is going to attack the shield alone. With bleedthrough, it means it's going to do shield and health damage.

 

[erpg]

It will be 3 hit/bleed through for classic.

The changes for Reach will be decided after they recieve feedback from the TU beta in october.

Well then, we know what we need to do.

 

[Bread]

Wow that second picture looks awesome, Chief's armor is sexy.

I can't fucking wait for Headlong, what a great map that is.

 

[Karl2177]

The one thing that bugs me about this shot is Chief's hand. He's still in the gun holding animation position. Otherwise, it looks glorious. I'm assuming all of the numbers in the screen are the same as they were in the original?

 

[wwm0nkey]

What in earth is bleedthrough?

In Halo: Reach you had to pop their shields to kill them with a melee. Now if their shields are low enough you can just kill them with a melee without poping thier shields.

So if you see someone sprinting at you just shot them a bit and hit them and they shouldn't be able to get that 2nd melee off.

 

[Rodney McKay]

HEADLONG REMAKE?! AAAAAAAAAHaAAHAHAHHAA!

I've been wanting this since Halo 2! My favorite map in Halo. Now I'm going to have to pick this up AND renew my Live sub. ;_;

 

[TheOddOne]

I have the weirdest boner right now.

Looks like Halo!

 

[Tunavi]

Well then, we know what we need to do.

There are those who said this day would never come

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

CEA is looking really, really nice. I love the image quality in those screens, assuming it is actually a sharper cleaner image than Reach, as it seems to be.

Also, Breakneck is looking great! I'm glad they decided to do Headlong, finally Reach will have some more decent MP maps. Weird they havent showed off Hang em High yet.. I wonder when they plan to do it.

Dat fixed melee with bleed through at 2:08. *cries tears of joy :*)

 

[TimmiT]

Nice Halo 3 ODST reference.

 

[wwm0nkey]

^^^ I think that guy was playing too much Deus Ex

 

[PooBone]

Look awesome. I just want it now. PoA look awesome.

 

[Kydd BlaZe]

This game is looking better and better everytime I see it.
