Is Reach really Bungie's Swan Song for the franchise, or do you believe that they'll continue?

They seem pretty sure about it being their last Halo game.

Well, maybe their last game as Bungie.

 

Didn't they create 343, give it the rights to Halo, then staff 343 entirely with their own guys as a middle finger to MS?

No, 343 was created by MS to cater the Halo franchise. There are a handful of people there we've worked for Bungie but hardly everybody. And also, MS has the rights to Halo, not Bungie.

Bungie will make no Halo for at least 10 years because of their deal with Activision.

One of the medals was told in a weekly update, forgot what it was through.

 

Also, here is a nice little picture for anyone, since there is Ambient Wildlife in Reach now, German Gamepro said that two giant beast were being attacked by a ton of Elites and the Elites got killed. Well... Just compare it to Jun, I think this is one of them.

The middle one is the Firebird medal. It has something to do wtih Jetpacks and killing people, no details on what exactly you get it for though.

Achievement No.21 - "Lucky Me" looks similar, and you get that for "Earned a Triple Kill while Jetpacking in Campaign, Firefight or Matchmaking."

 

No idea what the Gold-Death from the grave one is though.

 

Speaking of their deal with Activision, I hope they know what they're doing. I don't want them to go the way on Infinity Ward.

The contract they made was heavily in Bungies favour (no complaints). Activision have no say in the development of the game, but can change things they don't like AFTER the initial development. If Bungie feel they suddenly don't like Activision, they can walk away or change certain contract details.

 

343 is only officially working on Halo Waypoint, although they could be owrking on other Halo stuff. After Reach is done (not sure if it'll include DLC), staff will be free to move to 343 or stay at Bungie.

Check your Motion Tracker, it's apparently an enemy dinosaur.

Yeah, I noticed. At first when I saw it I was like "whoa dinosaur" then I noticed Jun standing next to it... Also, does anyone else think it resembles a Deathclaw? Also thinking about it; Bungie said the build they have shown off isn't the full one. That means there is probably more options. Hopefully vicious wild-life will be an option, Big Game Hunter 2552 would be epic.

 

I also found a list of tons of new pictures for you guys, IGN Link

 

[hide= some pictures I enjoyed]

Epic Deja Vu if you played the Beta, you might remember this place.

EDIT: Here comes the leaks... Halo 2 was leaked a month early by the French, prepare for an Onslaught of spoilers. DON'T view if you don't want spoilers, I'll try not to post any here, only those who wants some.

This is a bit old, but I noticed something that might have to do with it. Here is leaked coding from the Beta that some people discovered, including a bunch of new stuff, a lot of it confirmed. Leaked Beta Information

 

Reason why I thought of this, was because of some new armor ability discovered on Jun.

 

[hide=Jun's AA]

If you notice, you can tell that it is an ammo pack of a sort, possibly giving him more ammo, ability to regenerate ammo, or deploy the ammo for others to use.

 

Noble Six has more ammo, but Urk confirmed that it was because the mission is like Truth and Reconciliation, you start out with a bunch of ammo but can't get that much back. Also his AA is hologram. This is also why it is a possible AA, because on the portion for AA on the list it shows several others, possibly they could have merged with another forming that.

 

[hide=Leaked AA]

 

Active Camouflage

Ammo Pack

Armour Lockup

Power fist

Repulsor

Sensor Pack

Sprint

Super Jump

Jet Pack

Emp Pulse

Shield Generator

Hologram

Evade

 

[/hide]

 

Some of them could have possibly been removed or crafted into others, such as the Armour Lock now repels players/bodies that are too close to them, Jetpack with superjump since it shoots you up a lot quicker now, probably to get air quickly. Sensor Pack with camouflage, etc.

 

 

I really hope it is deployable, it would work perfectly for creating BC2 Loadouts.

 

Also the big Troll/Death-claw like Ambient life is called a Gueta, a species native to Reach before it was terraformed slightly to allow humans to live comfortably.

Mark my words.

The Sputnik Skull will be in the space mission.

IGN needs to get some of their facts straight, Zealot is almost nothing like Midship excluding the covenant theme and the side stairs for part of it. BTW Halo, since this map will probably be featured in campaign to an extend, perhaps Jetpacking far into the space, and maybe you might find the skull floating up there in orbit. Also Spire looks very scary to jump from, just hope you don't miss the lifts.

Damn, Spire was bigger then I thought.

Double Zoom it's still small, straight up. Will probably be very fun in reverse invasion.

Ivory Tower’s original look was fairly minimalist. What made you decide to switch it up and go all Rock Garden on that [wagon]? Is it because you’re Asian?

 

Yes. Yes it is. I Asianed it up™. I two inch punched that [wagon]™.

 

Nice. What’s your favorite visual element?

 

The Dragon Fountain and your mom.

I love Ken Taya.

Most epic picture ever.

Forklift's never die, they're just missing in action.

 

Also, here is link to weekly update.

 

Bungie Weekly Update: 08.06.10

 

It's a pretty big read, also some new pictures.

 

It's my new Iphone background.

I'll try not to sound like a fanboy, but is there anything that doesn't look good in this game?

 

Also, Sig :shades:

@ Magic, I've seen a few bad things here and now, most of them in the beta which was fixed. Only thing I don't really like is the sword block. I heard they removed the thing where your shields go, but their shields get cut down instead when you slash. BTW I set the Forklift as the background for my computer. It's of epic win.

 

@ Sarge, during that mission, apparently you need to blow up a bunch of those AA Guns for an achievement. They seem like those guns found on Outskirts in Halo 2.

For anyone who can't really grasp the size of Forge World that well like me, I found a screen shot that helps out a lot.
