Get Hyped!

[OcR Envy]

It has been years for many of us. Playing the series we know and love, the very games that brought us together as a community. We were awe struck by the game called Halo CE that was suppose to be for Mac only. We were excited for Halo 2 and this thing called XBL that would let us play multiplayer via the intertubes. We were pumped for Halo 3 and the idea of being able to take screenshots and videos of our mad skills; not to mention the death of modders.

So what will do it for Reach? I'm sure time will bring many things for each type of player in our community. After watching the video below I'll tell you what got me hyped, fucking rocket packs and barrel rolls, SRSLY?! Wow.

There was some discussion about transitioning when Halo 2 - Halo 3 came around. We will follow the same suit for Halo Reach. When the time comes all members are expected to adapt or face retirement. Our CoD based players will not be effected but the Halo 3 contingent is expected to make the transition. Halo 3 will die, it is already at end of life.

No need to worry about these things just yet, for now lets get our Beta on! There is a new count down(EST Time) on our home page alerting any of you who have been in a closet the past few weeks. Halo Reach Multiplayer Beta is slated to hit ODST Intel on May 3rd. Although members will obviously not be required to get the Beta it is highly recommended you do not be an Outcast left on Halo 3/CoD while we are all Reaching for glory, teehee. To participate in the Beta you only need a Halo ODST Campaign disc, not the multiplayer; so I am sure you can find it fairly cheap on Ebay/Gamestop used.

We will not be accepting and clan matches during the Beta time, nor will we restructure our competitive teams. These things will all happen when Reach gets it's final release. So until then, prepare yourself it's going to be a hell of a few weeks.

I can't even think of anything to say.....I'm so jacked for this game that I punched a co-worker in the head. I miss Halo but I can't bring myself to play Halo 3 anymore, I guess because it was my only video game for 3 years.

[Lycan]

Looking at prices for ODST now! Reach looks dirty!!!

[OcR Skier]

Holy shit, that video was epic. Looked so damn good! I could hear the cries of all of the MLG baby girls about how freaking different it looked, and where is midship and why isn't there a br, and why is that guy in the air?? I bet some people that were awesome at H2/H3 are going to suck at Reach, looks like a different style of multiplayer altogether.

[OcR Lateralus]

So fucking amazing. Jetpacks? Combat Roles? I CANNOT WAIT. I will be booking off work for the week following the release.

[OcR Rabbit]

[OcR Lateralus]

i don't know..

there's some things in that trailer that worry me

Such as?

[OcR Dr Holliday]

Yes Ty the co-worker was a woman

This game is gonna make me a worthless human being.

[OcR PoGoNiP]

I think I will need a keg of red bull, two barrels of Doritos and a sponge bath because I will not be leaving my game room when this hits.

[OcR Moose]

i don't know..

I agree with this.

[OcR Dragon]

When watching that vid it actually kinda reminded me of Halo CE game play, it looks amazing. I don't think I'll be sleeping when the Beta comes :P

And if anything in that vid worries you don't forget about Forge ;)

[OcR Cake]

goosebumps...that's all I have to say.

[OcR Prunk]

I thought this thread was about a new CoD.... :(

[Bp HaVoK]

This halo is going to be EPIC.:notworthy:

[OcR SpeedDemon]

Video was 100% badass....cant wait for this beta!

[OcR Precision]

Looks like a great game, enjoyed the video, but I'm not going to get over-excited over anything yet. The sniper rifle looks and sounded amazing, and that mobile bubble shield or whatever it was when that guy flipped the Ghost over in the beginning is awesome. The jetpacks I'm not sure of though. I will keep my eye on ODST prices and decide later whether I'll go to get the beta or not.

[Jimi Thingg]

i don't know..

there's some things in that trailer that worry me

[Hurrikanye]

not too excited about the jetpacks or that grenade launcher...

other wise looks like a whole new halo experience to what im used to

[Bp HaVoK]

Going to have to rethink how you play.

[OcR Valto]

Ya moved the thread on me so I'll say it again. I get to punch Valto in the stomach. YES:jiggy:

not again:(

[OcR Yehsus]

I'm taking a week off from my internship.

[OcR Savage]

Looks pretty sweet but the jetpack thing is probably where you have to pick it up like a bubble shield or any power-up. I don't think everyone gets one throughout the entire game. Probably runs out like the flamethrower. Looks like it would take up the second weapon spot since it's on his back.

P.S. I can tell already I won't like the grenade launcher. GL = Campers.

What impressed me was the assassinations, they look sexy now. also the new weapons look good and i think they have the medal system from ODST. You will see me playing the beta and buying the game for sure.

[OcR just iLL]

The assassination animation scares me. The more sophisticated and artsy they get the bigger the chance that it no longer become a quick kill. Could back fire like crazy...

this reminds me of the epic kills in unreal championship 2 where you would spend 5 seconds doing an animation just to get shot in the head while your doing it getting no credit for the kill.

[OcR Rabbit]

holding down the melee button results in the animation

tapping it is still a quick melee kill

[OcR Cake]

Anyone else notice this?

Possibly the new Spartan Laser? From the video this gun seems very similar to sentinel beam or the rail gun from quake. Perhaps Bungie has turned it into a more balanced weapon that requires consistent aim and takes more time to kill a person rather than one big shot that needs to be charged, this would be nice considering that the outcomes of some games in h3 are heavily determined by who controls the Laser.

[OcR Cake]

Also found this, he points out a few things you might not notice right away when watching the trailer.

[Walk is Rippin]

yeah im definitely looking forward to it after that video

[OcR Rhino]

Can't wait to see what piece of equipment will have the success of the radar jammer.

[OcR Valto]

i kinnda wish that the radar jammer was on more maps cuse think if you could have invis and the Radar jammer no one would be able to find you

[OcR ROCKETR]

The Radar Jammer is a joke. Just look for the dot that isn't going over 9000mph. :P

[OcR Rabbit]

also the real dot on the radar doesn't blur when you look around (or does blur, and the others dont? i dunno, discovered it like 2 years ago)

[OcR ROCKETR]

Yeah. The Radar Jammer dots are all blurry and jumping around like crazy while the regular radar ones are not.

[OcR just iLL]

Honestly when a radar jammer went up I just didn't pay any attention to the radar and carried on as usual.

[OcR Valto]

i dont what maps even have one but ive seen it once in the campaign

[a Carcass]

In one of there interviews they said they did take out the instant back smacks, but then they put them back in. So the assassination animation is an option, if you wanna do it you'll have to hold down a certain button they said.

in the video it even shows a standard assassination

[OcR Rhino]

I was bwing sarcastic about the jammer it is worthless. Bungie removed them I belive because they had some glitches. I believe people were using them like grenade boosting. When u threw it u got a boost. I remember they had them on guardian but people were doing this. What ever happened to the flame grenades?
