It would make everything unbalanced. Say if they did the same thing with the weapons, were you could upgrade you're weapons. It would be completely unbalanced *COUGH* MODERN WARFARE 2 *COUGH*

Just out of curiosity, are you purposely spelling "weigh" as "way"?

Yeah, I was typing fast because I was on XBL. Thanks for the spell check.

Spall Cheque. <3

lol rvb

griff: i dont remember it bieng this wet
simmons: i think i might have left the sprinklers on sarge isnt going to like the bill

but did u guys see how far away the scorpion shot at the end?

Well the armor idea aside, do you think they'll make some sort of rival armor against the armor lock? Like an EMP blast to deactivate the armor lock? This is for the Elites btw.

Blah you won't be able to use elites in all game types. Certain ones bungie pick you can.

armour lock is so easy to beat though, I remember every time a guy was low health he'd used armour lock, so I'd wait three seconds and throw a plasma grenade so he'd be seein blue when he came out :p

Have you been under a freaking rock? Did you even play the beta?

- The elites are only used in CERTAIN PLAYLISTS AND GAMETYPES. If you played Invasion, you'd know that the Elites and Spartans are balanced in many ways and at the same time retain a nice Halo feel to the game.

- Elites DON'T really have more health than spartans; it just regenerates faster when NOT UNDER FIRE.

- What makes a medic Spartan different from a Sprint spartan against an dodge Elite? Medic ones just drop the regenerating shield and Sprint Spartans can only move faster in one direction. I saw Sprint Spartans get sacked by Dodge Elites a lot in Invasion, so I don't know where you're pulling your info from (especially considering you're 2 months late to the party with your rant).

-Yes, they do. But Elites are also easier targets to hit and I find them easier to snipe or headshot than spartans.

By the sounds of it, you didn't even try to look up, research, or play the beta. Until you actually experience and try something, don't even write about it.

Also Bungie said you would be able to choose between Elites or Spartans in the custom games lobby.

gametype-specific, or in any game?

Any game dude.

4:48 to the end watch for the flash in the background then watch how far the bullet gos

The scorpion tank is really far away into the distance of the video. The map seems to be bigger than what I have expected.

i think that its more then one map :D think of it bungie could make u spawn in blood gulch or a diffrent map seperated by player clipping...

yeah just wanted to ask but I was watching the E3 campaign demo again and at around 2:45 isn't that elite using armor lock?

yep in the beta they had that abillity to... if u got on a glitched invasion and spartans can roll to...

Oh thats right I remember those glitches now. I remember one game we had all the elites sprinting and all the spartans rolling it was hilarious.

Spartans didn't have proper animations for evade though

omg guise i no y spertons have no ahnomashuns gud 4 evade
there not sposed too do it

omg really. I thought they just didn't finish it yet /obvious

yes they did...

They arent Upgrades, they are abilities that the Armour already has.

To your recent post, understand that I was not making the statement because you didn't have the Xbox. I was making the statement that while the Reach beta happened two months ago and since then there has been tons of talk regarding the changes in the game, you have been "under a rock." I apologize if I insulted you, but understand you kind of were the person to walk into a room full of veterans and you just joined the army.

-What set me off was that you were writing as if you knew what you were talking about, when in reality you didn't. Your list, for example, states that no player is equal on the battlefield because of Elite Characteristics. The problem with this is that when I played the Beta under Invasion, Elites vs. Spartans Slayer, and Generator Defense the teams were both very even on the field. Spartans are smaller and aren't as easy to hit (by both aim and melee) and Elites are big and very fast (but can be killed as easily as a Spartan with Headshots and heavies). Elites really don't have more health when it gets down to it because the weapons on the field make it so that it's not an issue of who has more health. For the most part, Elites' health just recharges two tallies faster. Draw an inference to the aforementioned statement I just made whether it's effective or not on the battlefield.

-The problem with this is that you exclude a TON of variables at first, which I'm glad you mention in the second. The Medic vs. Evade thing depends on too many things for you to say that one has an advantage over the other. For one, the weaponry the players have incredulously effects the battle. Second, which I'm glad you mentioned, it ultimately comes down to skill and you should not limit one to another. You keep confining the Loadouts into classes, both terms very different. A class restricts you to multiple, but confined attributes, while a Loadout allows you a plethora of options (if you played Reach you'd understand a big difference between TF2 and Reach's features). IF the Medic has a shotgun, then wouldn't the Medic win over the Elite (without skill thrown in)? The weapons part defines whether a Loadout's ability can be backed up, which is why you see the Operator Loadout have Armor Lock and a Shotgun.

-What? How did I just agree with you? I was saying that you were wrong and I was right about the Elites having Armor Lock. Look at the Bungie E3 trailer (not the Live one, the studio one) and you'll see an elite in red all locked up taking an explosion. Now what makes it different from a Spartan Armor Lock is that it's a lot easier to hit once the Lock is over, especially for a Sniper.

-How is researching something common sense? You looked at the surface and called it by cover. That, for a critic, is a very stupid and pointless thing to do.

Drama bomb go

spartan_094 I agree. Now about previous posts, yes the spartans did have evade animations but they were of course imperfect and looked pretty weird this is why like I said before it was pretty funny to watch. I think that spartans and elites may have access to all armor abilities in the final game meaning spartans and elites could both use all the armor abilities. Except for elites using sprint because in the game I was in when the Elites could sprint they were way too fast.

its a beta for a reason.

i made this wallpaper while watching it again today its in 720 P :D

I love the obvious clipping in the arm and just the terrible pose overall.

If you have followed the Halo series from the beginning you would know this is a great improvement in the Halo series. The fact Bungie is making the game matching the realism player want today whilst still keeping the Halo feel to it is a great achievement. Bungie definitely made the gameplay more realistic and whilst keeping their gameplay "balance". The game has definitely improved, those of you who do not see that really don't understand how different players are on the XBox compared to the PC. If you play XBox you would see this as a great improvement, if you play PC and don't play console much then you really have no point because Halo Reach has nothing to do with PC gaming and never will.

i love how i dont look at the Flaws and negative things about games and play them for what they are meant to be, Fun

look in the picture anyone else notice the canyon thing next to griff?

look to the left and you see Halo. OMGWTF.... but its probably to keep the Halo "touch".

EDIT: btw, bloodgulch is heaps bigger than before, you still have the main layout of the map but with alot of new implementations which should make the gameplay a bit more interesting on the new map...
Edited by Shade117 pro on Jul 14, 2010 at 09:42 PM

Me too.

OMG it's the canyon from Valhalla? It looks like it... or maybe it's a different canyon... yeah.. a different canyon...
