Halo: Reach General Discussion

[Dohnutt]

I wish Bungie would put more of their games on PC.

The more I see and hear about Reach, the more I like it. I am confused about the crosshair on the 1st person screen from the GI. The red crosshair is like way to the left. Anyone else notice this?

Maybe it's twitch weaponry, a waypoint, or just a glitch?

According to Bungie, it was an error that showed up when rendering the pictures for Game Informer and Edge.

New concept art - in case you haven't seen it.

Just posting here, getting this thread back into the running for now.

Tonight at some point, Halo: Reach's multiplayer will be revealed at X10. This should mean there will be videos of it either today or tomorrow. Feel free to post the links to them here should I not be on at the time.

[Teancum]

The multiplayer beta goes live May 3.

That and apparently everyone at X10 got a first look at the new multiplayer map: Powerhouse.

[Fluffy_the_ic]

There's some concept art of Powerhouse on bungie.net. Looks like it'll be fun to play.

[SilvaDalek]

They updated the project page, it has some nice screens and renders.

VidDoc is out! It's amazing and I saw brutes (around 4:30 I think), the Halo: CE pistol and the intense new crosshair.

Everything looks amazing.

Looks pretty amazing. I love that you can finally sprint, and that it's a sandbox game. Day 1 purchase for sure. Maybe even a midnight purchase.

[Fluffy_the_ic]

Wow. Just, wow. It looks amazing. I don't think I can wait two and a half months for the beta, lol. It looks like you can use cover now, which is epic. Then the higher customizablity in Spartans will be much nicer for online. I also like that the aliens aren't going to be speaking English all the time. The new shotty looks sweet. That gun at around 6:40 looked really cool, too. And I agree with Tean, the fact that it's sandbox should be really fun.

[Teancum]

It's definitely rekindled my interest in Halo 3. Apparently other folks too -- I saw someone tonight on XBL who had swore off H3 playing it.

[Fusion]

Yeah, I've been playing H3 a lot more recently. I guess it's been a combination of things, but Reach has been a major influence.

Also, all the good people moved on to MW2. The remnants are either in MLG or Ranked, which makes Team Mythic very fun again

[computergeek]

I think that the increased poly count and colliding particles is awesome. I mean they have atleast double the amount of polys and about 10x the amount of colliding particles. I love you Bungie.

Luckily I'll be getting a 360 and ODST soon!

What's really bugging me are the new weapon designs, things look way different then they ever did.

Looks way better IMO.

[Teancum]

There's a big part of me that likes all the new designs, and especially so considering they have a place in canon (as ARMY vs Marine weapons) and aren't just remodels.
