bump

I can't wait for the beta. 10 days. Anyone got the xbros list they can post?

one more bump

>>56885285
What is this list you speak of?

Same. Glad I got ODST, at least for that. The game itself was disappointing.

>>56885708

wat.

What was wrong with ODST? It had an awesome campaign and firefight was fun aswell.

I'm gonna be on, gamertag is Bourbon Owns

See you guys there in ten days! It's gonna rock.

Can I just rent odst and get the beta? you dont need a code right?

Worth playing, I guess. Although I wouldn't dream of buying it.

>>56886010

Im not sure, but I think you can rent it and play the beta.
The beta download appears in the ODST menu at May 3rd.

I need to buy a new Xbox, (old one is banned from live cause lolpiracy).

>>56886157

Ah thank you. I just diddnt want to pay the $60 when it came out for one map pack I diddnt have.

I'd like to get this, but my 360 is pretty fucked up. I've also got a lot of other games sucking up my time, so I think I'll be fine without it.

Fairly new multiplayer trailer:

NO CATACLYSM IS COMING OUT THIS YEAR TOO FAGGOT. LOL HALO FAG.

>>56886458

>Implying Cataclysm wont make WoW even worse than it is right now

>>56885894

The fact that it had no game finding function really sucked.

>>56886682
agreed. but i mean would you want to play with a 12 year old thats all like "OH MY GOD GUISE IM KILLING SO MUCH MORE THAN YOU IM GONNA KILL YOU LOLOLOL" rather than just play with people you know? the only reason no matchmaking would suck is if you have no friends.

>>56885708
>Paying to beta-test

lol 360fans

>Voting for 3 random gametypes/maps rather than just 1 veto
Fuck yes

>>56886863

Agreed, the 12 year olds of Halo multiplayer makes the community so much worse.

>>56886967
>implying he didnt buy the game, found it was shit, then discovered that it comes with a halo: reach beta test spot

>>56887033

fucking saved

>>56887066
Good thing they all moved to Modern Hurrfare 2

>>56887033

>>56885042
>MP GOTY
>Not BFBC2

>>56887341
Bad Company 2 isn't even a decent battlefield game.

>>56887066
Well, they have the new MuteBan to supposedly automute squeakers as well as that Preference system to hopefully match you up with people like you. If those two things work out as intended, then this game will definitely turn out 100% better. The Arena should also keep all the OMGLEETSNIPERSKILLLOL kids and MLG fans in one place as well, so you can be sure that all the bros will be playing Invasion.

>>56887033
That part of the trailer was fucking hilarious and almost made me want to play Arena mode.
but then I realized that I would be rated Steel.

>>56887454
God I hate that fat fuck.

>>56887454
I don't think it will automute them, I bet if someone gets muted enough over a period of time they get mic banned for a few days or so.

It looks really fun, but to be honest trolling aside, the game looks a little too shall I say casual. I can't find a better word, now the sniper has recoil, you can't be a beast with it anymore. They also took out the BR and now it's a single shot rifle, with also... yup recoil.

Now you can sprint, have armor, and go invis, thanks to perks. It looks good, but it seems I don't know. I guess I'll wait till the 3rd to find out.

>>56887650
>Adding layers of complexity and skill
>Calling it casual

>>56887454
lol u mad

>>56887152

Close. I bought it hoping for it to be a good game AND knowing it had the beta with it.

Turned out the game wasn't that great, so the redeeming feature is the beta.

>>56887725
Complexity and skill? Yeah ok.

>>56887650
>Nerf power weapons
>Call it casual
Butthurt MLG fag spotted.

>>56887650

timing your shots is now more important, therefore taking more skill.

>>56886157
You can rent it and download the beta, but you will still need the ODST disc to be in the tray in order to play it.

oh look, Halo 3.5

Microsoft, more jew then Kotick.
Pay 60 bucks for a 4 hour add on and a 3 week beta trial. You mean we can actually get people to pay Bungie to test our game? Fuckin A man.

>>56887650
Having recoil (like an actual gun) makes it casual? Please expain. I've always thought that weapons not having any recoil was "casual" and kind of silly.

In big team games like Invasion, you get a Battle Bro, which is a teammate you can choose to spawn on a la BC2. Whether you choose your Battle Bro or if it's randomly picked isn't known yet.

>>56888093
mlg shit, don't worry. mlgfags can't play a game unless it's all about who sees the other person first.

>>56888256

Jesus tapdancing christ batman, the motion blur!

>>56888093
Well the thing with Halo 3 especially the Sniper is that you always kept moving and sniping at the same time. It's more fast pace, now when you shoot, you got to wait a while at least 1-3 seconds. Like I said I have to play the game to see how it is but it doesn't seem like the kill fast keep moving Halo to me.

>>56888403

>halo
>fast pace

>>56888389

I think it only looks like that while you are in that circle thing.

>>56888403
Halo isn't about being fast paced. If you want fast paced gameplay, go play Quake or something.

>>56888521

Circle thing?

GOTY

>>56888542
*sigh* Compared to what Reach looks like yes it's fast pace.

Pre-ordered the Legendary edition. That statue would look fucking great on my shelf next to Ezio.

>>56888641
>*sigh*

I really liked the book, and it looks better than ODST... I'm pretty excited :)

>>56888389

The point was to show that your team mates can spawn on you.

>>56888601

Yeah, the green shield that is around them. If you look at any multiplayer trailers I think it's shown. It's a new game mode, not sure which one but I'd guess Invasion.

I loved ODST and I'm gonna love my Reach beta.

I don't care what anyone says, I thought ODST was worth every penny.

apparrently, sprinting effects how far you jump?

>Halo

Hahaha, these are so funny if you've watched the lastest multiplayer trailer.

Halo?

Saging this shit

>>56888905

GRAET TROL, WUD READ AGEN

>>56889065
I see what you did there

>>56889065
I get it it's because his name is sage.

>$150 Legendary Edition
Jesus fucking christ.

>>56889201

Get a job
I make enough to buy legendary edition in 1 work day

>>56889281

I make enough money to have someone cut my dick off in one day

i'll buy it but i can't really convince myself to get excited over halo. i'll probably be a little more excited right before it comes out.

Hmm.. I wonder what the maps will be like in this game. They look kinda dull compared to the Halo 3 ones.

>>56889753
Are you serious? I think they look great compared to the shit in 3. I can't speak for the DLC stuff (haven't played them), but the ones on the disc are terrible (except High Ground). At least Reach's look big enough that you can choose multiple tactics/loadouts and still have a viable strategy.

>>56890376

I didn't mean boring maps to play, but the artwork of the maps look boring. For an example, Lost Resort in Halo 3 is very good looking map.

bamp

>>56890940
Generally speaking, the DLC maps look much better than the ones that come with the game, since they get more people working on them.

Anyways, they've only shown three different human environments. We haven't seen any covenant or forerunner stuff yet. Forerunner tends to be my favourite, it's got the nature feel with ancient relics that just happen to be there.

>>56891505

Yeah I guess.
Forerunner maps are my favorites aswell.

>>56891505
Unless there's a forerunner facility on Reach, I doubt that's one of the maps. They said all the multiplayer maps are taken from the campaign this time around, so I imagine it's mostly human towns and military bases.

>>56891987

Wasn't it the other way around? They implented multiplayer maps into the campaign.

>>56885042
If it's the multiplayer game of the year I'll be sorely dissapointed. There's alot more potential.

>>56892320
Well either way it means the maps are focused around the battles of reach. We might see a covenant ship or base, but most of the maps will probably be planetside and have human architecture.

>>56892610

Yeah, but im sure they will release some awesome looking DLC maps aswell.

>>56891987

$20 says the campaign moves off Reach at some point.

This is what Halo is about

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROKOpiKzC3o#t=1m22s

>>56891987
>Unless there's a forerunner facility on Reach

There are. That's why the Covenant didn't glass the entire planet, and why they landed on it and why you're fighting there instead of being turned into glass.

>>56892970
$20 says that Noble Team goes underground after the planets been glassed and finds a Forerunner city inhabited with the Flood and never make it out.

>>56896006
Nah, Flood are too dangerous to keep them on planets like Reach.

The only places they ever stored them were on the Fortress worlds [Halos] which can kill everything within 25,000 lightyears, just in case; and their laboratories on Gas Giants [so they can drop them into the crushing depths, should they escape containment]

>>56896006
I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see that.

>>56892970
More like deep into it's forerunner stuff filled ruins.

The best game gets better xXx420headshootxXx

>>56885042
Okay, no troll... You're just incredibly fucking stupid.

FUCK YEAR!

>>56888667
The logical part of me realizes that is a huge waste of money I can use on other things. Another part of me thinks how badass that would look on my shelf.

>>56885042
Multiplayer better be good.

The actual campaign will suck bawls due most of it already being spoilered for anyone who has read the book. Maybe the devs will throw in a few twists but, then that would have a very good chance of completely going off the Halo universe canon..

>>56896006
Anything but this. Reach's campaign has the potential to be the best in the series because there's no fucking flood levels. Seriously, does ANYONE find them fun? It was cool at first in Halo 1 when SUDDENLY SPACE ZOMBIES OUT OF NOWHERE but they wore out their welcome by the library.

>>56885894

Don't worry, he read that on the internets. Anyone who played ODST would know it's a great fucking game.

>Jetpacks
>Energy Swords only
>excited toon chief.jpg

>>56897391

I didn't mind flood because they changed the combat quite a lot, breaking up campaign a bit. I can't see flood being used in this game though.

Maybe more sentinels would be OK? There were plenty in Halo2 with the big ones as well. It would also be cool to see different hunter forms, because they're just fucking worms after all.

I wanna see brutes going to apeshit mode!
