The Hunters actually look scary and look like that would turn you into a orange squash. Instead of like big slow things...

I lol'd

Hunter looks cool, but I really don't like the Grunts.

I like hunters.

Hence the name DEEhunter and DEElekgolo.

In humans, but contrary to popular belief most species have larger females.

..just a little fun fact for the day.

but i could have sworn that spartans, were humans... :| or at least part human-part robot.. Hence the cyborg.

They might be skirmishers.

so remind me why the covenant replaced skirmishers with jackals on HALO 1...

They didn't, its just that the skirmishers are more dinosaur like than jackals. Depends if they have a shield on their arm or if they don't.

Yeah unfortunately some parts of this game are gonna mess up the halo canon because when you think about it all the stuff on reach (new weapons, skirmishers, etc) should have been in halo 1 because in the Halo 2 intro arby tells us how his fleet chased the autumn to the first halo. Meaning the covenant ships from halo 1 were part of the fleet that destroyed reach and should have the same level of tech as we see on reach. Honestly though who cares as long as reach is awesome I don't mind then messing up the canon.

Playing devils advocate for a moment. It could be argued that all the Covenant high tech and advanced ground forces were engaged ON Reach when the segment of the fleet followed the POA. Not only that but from all appearances the Covenant were already at the Halo when the POA arrived and I would suspect that it was mostly the scientiific arm that was there and not the advanced military tech they would need to capture Reach.

In anycase as you said, it really doesn't matter as long as you enjoy the new game for what it is.

I like the game better than halo 3, but there are some things that I am just ASTOUNDED that they haven't fixed.

For the human part, in either the fall of reach or first strike (the books), it said that the POA was outfitted with the most basic of equipment. Everything was stripped down to bare necessities for their high priority mission, thats why they didnt have mongooses, hornets, SMGs BRs etc.

As far as the covies go, listen to dennis :P.

This game will be a game, an epic trailer does not mean an epic game, most of the time, the trailer is better than the game on purpose, or they record ingame videos of the best parts in a game, sometimes the only good parts. Until it comes out, we wont know =P

I stopped playing video games in general..... I know more about sales gimmicks than most, and most like to just put the those BLING videos out there, and produce a horrible game! Like the cutscenes for Driver 2 for PSX look like Xbox graphics ingame..... or the trailer of an xbox game looks like the quality of a racing game on PS3.

The graphics in this game will be the equivelant of Halo 3, plus or minus some minor upgrades....

Get out.

Yeah, dude, the new Assault Rifle has roughly the same amount of polygons as the entire Halo 3 Marine.
Safe to say, the graphics are getting a major overhaul.

Kip you must not have played it. The graphics ARE what this game definitely has RIGHT

everyone keep saying halo canon, but what is halos canon?

Canon is the story behind the game.

Maybe Bungie didn't have those ideas when they made Halo 1.

I will be very happy to get you out and leave you out if this behavior does not cease.

Behaviour fix:

why is the BR on the halo movie has rapid fire and not 3 round burst?

i r starting to hate bungie picking the wrong story line to start with...

on topic

i like the specops grunt best...
and do u guys agree if the Grenade Launcher in reach be replaced with a Milkor?

Edited by CorpseManTS on Jun 22, 2010 at 01:44 AM
Edited by CorpseManTS on Jun 22, 2010 at 02:06 AM

No, because there would be widespread abuse of a weapon that fires six one hit kill grenades in rapid succession. There's no requirement for a charge-up, and the reload would be the same speed of a shotgun.

Tip: Milkor is the name of the company that produces it; what you meant to call it was a "MGL".

that turd would go for both of the power weapons.

i like how the wraith has a meter to tell when you can fire the mortar.
Edited by Advancebo on Jun 24, 2010 at 08:02 PM

That's freakin awesome :D

huh, I assumed they replaced the plasma rifle with the repeater, but it looks like they coexist together, maybe there's hope for my covenant invasion scores yet :p

Single player uses the plasma rifle while MP used the plasma repeater. Bungie thought that the plasma rifle wasn't a powerful enough counter to the assault rifle without dual wielding, so they introduced the plasma repeater.

That's the beauty of the beta. It provides credibility a trailer can't. In case you didn't get the chance to play it, the graphics were far superior. Of course, I have a 1080i tv. With a low def tv, I don't know if there would be much difference.

I thought the graphics were horrid and cartoony, whereas halo3's was far more realistic looking graphics

No no no, opposite way dummy.

Reach looks more realistic (especially the Spartan armor), and Halo 3 has a more artistically styled look. I mean if you just look at the weapons, they look really nice but you can tell it doesn't look entirely realistic.

That's why Halo's so great and I'm slightly disappointed in this huge graphic update to realism. I always loved how you could tell they weren't real, while in other games (such as UT3) the weapons looked all muddy and junky, or looked like they could be real weapons because of how they're skinned. Other games are the same, others just copy real life, Halo had inspiration and was awesome because of it.

WOO! Hold on there guys. Halo: Reach isn't Halo 3 if want play Halo 3 go right head with no one stoping. Remember this is before Halo 1 and Reach was military testing ground so yeah things will look different. But Halo Reach is alot more realistic than Halo 3 because of fault damage and the new function the way spartan take down an elite.

The firefight look nice and fun to play.
