They HAVE a Mark V helmet, its just not h1 or h3 style. And it's name is Mark V .

I understand that, but its the Mk V(b) variant for Spartan III's, not for Spartan II's, but yet they have the Mk VI for Spartan II's.

stop complaining. and play the game.

they're all beefed up versions of the halo1 engine ._.

Check my service record on BNet (my gamertag is different than my screen name, but message it and ill be the same person) http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/Default.aspx?player=JustAnOldHobo&sg=0

I play the game, I just think its stupid how they mess with their own story line (unlike halo legends, which they had no control over)

Anywayyy, I'm gonna talk about something else. Any other Elite armor in the beta (I know it wont be playable, but I'm just curious if the assets are in it)?

It is most likely the Ultra elite.

ew

Dark's opinion is now invalid.

Since when did it become valid?

Are those assets in the beta? or is that just the render from BNet? :P

Render from Bungie.net. The logo in the corner gives it away.

I've noticed the elite's faces are more brutish and, well really just fatter... Looks ugly up close...

Also, side note, it must be hard for them to eat with a hole in the bottom of their mouth, and no tongue.

halo 3 and 1 elites look better

o.o why does the elite HAVE a lock down (guard) animation, if he isn't meant to ever be able to use it?? It seems weird that Bungie made them compatible with the glitch...

hush you.

NO I WILL NOT LET YOU PUSH ME AROUND THE ELITES LOOK LIKE POO!

Maybe in custom games you can set elites to be able to use armor lock.

P.s. If you think halo 3 elites look better than these then you need glasses. Halo 3 elites looked like freaking iguanas with back problems.

i cant play the game though :( well not untill this weekend. YAY for open xbox live weekend

Halo 1 Elites look the coolest.

thank you

I dont like the elites either. they should look like the halo 1 elites. Why you ask? Because the halo 1 elites are the elites from Reach. it even says so in halo 1 FFS

Compared to the halo 3 elites, the reach elites look a lot more like the halo 1 elites, even with the "wings" of their helmets. Their faces are just too wide!!

Plus you have to consider how limited tech was when Bungie made halo 1. They optimized everything, so there was very little quality... I believe with phong shading, bump maps, and uber-high polygon counts, the halo 1 elites would look so much more like the reach elites.

This, of course, excludes that unique helmet elite shown on this page...


That looks more halo 1...

they look like halo 2 elites which bothers me.
and what really bothers me is that bungie has to change every part of halo in every halo... they couldn't even leave the hand plate alone for halo 3 >:| and now they have to go make the ar a fugly halo 1 ar and stupid call of dutified marines and the plasma repeater is a piece of S*** and it doesn't have the accuracy to hit the wide side of a barn. i hope they burn for this.

teal deer? let me sum it for you bungie screwed up halo.

Dark, I have two words for you. Amen bro. :P

Bungie really should have stopped after halo 1

If Bungie had stopped after halo 1, this community would pretty much have nothing to do...
Halo would've died completely.

Imo, each game fits a certain set of players. And most of the changes are graphical... I'm not complaining about visual appeal...

However, a lot of things have lost their original halo aesthetic... The marines look a lot more modern and a lot less like "space marines".

Look at 65% of the content on this community. It's all recreations from the latter halos. 34% of it is rips from other games, and 1% of it is actually original...

So you rip on Bungie for making graphics upgrades? It's not Tetris or pacman... There is not a huge amount of classic value to the graphics.

I personally think it's all about game play, strategy, and story...

Feel free to rage me for this...

oh, and...
You want things to stay the same? Let me guess your opinion on ODST... You didn't like it, did you? A majority of things stayed the same... And that's the #1 complaint I've heard.
Edited by Alpha Series on May 11, 2010 at 10:05 PM

Then you shall be raged.

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE

I like how they change their games as they go. It'd be pretty boring playing the same old Halo game over and over. So what if it loses it's "feel", cuz if it felt the same, then it would be the same game with different models/textures/etc.

Actually, I hated ODST because everyone looked like they came straight out of a pixar movie (animation wise, which bungie is fixing with reach with live capture). And the story was pretty cliched, and their was no matchmaking for firefight.

I will admit the animations were annoying...

I'm surprised no one has referenced the hand mounted sword in that picture to the Wolverine...

Not even this guy: http://forums.bungie.org/halo/archive7.pl?read=177201

Also, did you know Elites are as skilled as Ezio Auditore from Assassin's Creed II?

odst was ok
i liked that they didnt change most of it but it needed matchmaking >:C

Look at how bad you all are for complaining. Bungie wont change Reach but only they will do this

Models
Bitmaps
Animations
Damage Effects
Particles
Standard Game Types
The armor abilities

Campaign they wont do anything since they will continue on how they think it will work and not how we think it should work another then the MP.

Go ahead and rage.

i will

Do you think Bungie will fix all of the glitches we are seeing in the Beta? The ones I expect them to fix are mostly Theater-Specific... I don't expect them to fix kill glitches and other humorous ones, just because of how amazingly hilarious community videos get with these glitches.
One I especially don't expect them to fix is the Elite "Super jump"

That is the general idea in a beta...
