Wow.

By the time Reach goes out, everyone in the state of Maine, and then some, would have a copy of reach.

I believe this may set a few records with the sales alone.

 

I doubt it will beat MW2 in terms of sales and pre orders, seen as MW2 was multiplatform and probably even more anticipated.

I dont know man.

It may give it a run for its money though.

Although it will be better than MW2, I don't think it's going to beat the sales.

 

It may beat it in Pre-orders.

^ From a month ago. If this trend continues It has surpassed MW2 in pre-orders by now. Games such as these usually sell well excluding pre-orders, so we have no clue for now.

 

@ Duelmaster, Could you tell us how much better the AI in Reach is compared to Halo 3? Enemies, Allies, etc. Also if you could could you please describe it too? <3: From what I can tell it is a lot better, but you played so you have first hand experience.

The AI is amazingly improved over Halo 3. They seem like they're actually intelligent in Reach, and (I only beat it on normal so far) they are actually challenging even on normal. I'm scared of what solo legendary will be like (there's an achievement for beating every mission solo on legendary) because the AI just seems perfectly tuned. On one mission there is a wraith behind a wave of enemies so when you actually get to it and take out the turret gunner, it knows EXACTLY when to boost and murder you. One time it even turned and drifted in to me lol.

 

In terms of allies, they are also very improved. I had a few marines survive the entire mission with me and I've never seen that before in a Halo game. The Spartans however, seem like actual people in how good they are in combat, and their dialogue is hilarious at points.

Even if it's a dumb story, telling it changes other people just the slightest little bit, just as living the story changes me. An infinitesimal change. And that infinitesimal change ripples outward-ever smaller but everlasting. I will get forgotten, but the stories will last. And so we all matter-maybe less than a lot, but always more than none.

I'm not going to lie, this was an idea I had when I was offering to buy and hollow out the statue if someone here won it from gamestop.

Or just commision a costume. Either way.

That is amazing. It is probably why Bungie may be my most favorite game developers, and the fact their studio is in Bellevue blocks away from Valve makes it even more epic.

 

This guy is very lucky :shock:

His wife made him a Halo Reach edition Xbox 360 cake. With controllers. I wish for the future I would have a wife to make my Xbox cakes... I can only dream. :pray:

I just saw te ending for Reach on legendary edition.

 

 

I wont spoil anything specificly, but I cried.

Could you pm me if it was any different than the normal ending? I've been trying to find a video and I can't find one.

(I've beaten it on normal so you aren't really spoiling anything)

Heavy spoilers, but I like the look of that mission. The guy who made it I believe said somewhere it was a retail copy, which is good.

 

Also Duelmaster, after you have beaten the game, which mission would you consider your favorite? (Use the mission number, like Long Night of Solace would be mission 6/6th mission.)

14:20-14:40. Elites in a warthog... wat. Doesn't that make them heretics technically?

 

EDIT after watching the rest of the mission, (this guy sucks...) I really can't wait :thumbsup:

Never forget. ~creeper face w/single tear~

 

DO YOU HEAR THE VOICES TOO?!?!

I would have to say that one with Jun in the night would be my favorite, or the last one. To anyone who has seen the last 5-ish minutes of the game will know what I mean and why. I would also consider the 9th mission to be in my top 3, just because it adds so much to the story. The 9th also adds a WTFISGOINGONSOMEONEPLEASEEXPLAIN moment which I hope people figure out exactly what it means after the game is officially released, because I'm DYING to know what is going on.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I hope that made you even more excited, because I wasn't exaggerating :P

:lol: At a lot of parts. Also here is this weeks weekly update, last one before Reach comes out. Hard to believe it comes out in only 4 days!

 

Bungie Weekly Update: 09/10/2010

 

I also hate COD and Halo fanboys believing that Treyarch/IW are arch nemesis with Bungie.

Cool game devs and alcohol, both wonderful things. <3:

Best Easter Egg ever. DONT! click if you do not want to be spoiled, it would be more fun to find it on your own. For me and some others sadly that doesn't take away the fun.
