Reach just keeps getting better and better...the improved matchmaking will make Halo #1 again (if there was ever a time where it wasn't...).

Sweeeet. I'll still probably go with a semi-default look, but at least I won't look like 3 other guys in the game.

@ RED51

I made the same observation. Bungie has implemented a Player Investment System. You earn credits to unlock Armor Perms (and maybe other stuff, who knows). And it's not all multiplayer based! You can earn credits in campaign mode as well.

Man! I can't wait to get the beta! Oh wait. I don't have ODST.

MAN! I can't wait to play the game! Oh wait, I only have a Wii.

MAN! I can't wait to go to my friend's houses and play! THATS GOOOOOD.

Great read. Thanks for that one. :thumbs:

Oh, and apparently Chess is coming to Halo :lol:


Funny thing is, now people will actually want that mode.

:lol: Chess? I was expecting something like an RTS mode for a player in a match, like some of the battle field games, but this is too funny to believe!

After seeing that, I suddenly feel like Halo is missing something.

I'm sure of demand is high enough, they'll release it as DLC....haha

You can tell they're serious because of the undercurrent of "no we're totally not making a joke of this" running through the whole video.

LOL

I'm really excited to see all the customization, and judging by this image from Bungie it looks to me like EVA will be the last unlocked armor.

BTW, this image is huge.
