Halo: Reach

[Metta]

Ugh now i have to buy a xbox.

God damn, I'm so pumped for this shit. Elite roll looks pretty fucking overpowered in that video though. Was expecting there to be some sort of cooldown on it or something but it seems you can use it to get the fuck out non stop.

I think you can roll three times before it needs to recharge? And takes about 5 seconds before it starts recharging. I'm sure Bungie will balance it, because otherwise SvE will be completely broken.

I'm still hoping they were serious about adding chess to Halo. That looked extremely fun!

WAIT.............


Adults actually hook up their childrens xbox's, including signing up for live? wow

[Kiarax]

Considering signing up for Live generally involves using a credit card. I'd like to think most parents have a hand in it.

[Ohemgee]

I'm actually looking forward to this.

I inherited my brothers 360 (always had a PS3, and he's going to med school), so I might just go all out for Halo. XBL, headset, and reach.

You could save your lunch money up to buy the card ~_~

Its cool,

but the ODST Live trailer is still the most epic thing ever to advertise a game.

[BadKarma]

Holy fuck its a big box

Not worth 150. Not impressed with their collector's editions at all. I'll be satisfied with just the game.

[dejet]

ya, if anything I will stick with Limited Edition one. $80 I can deal with but almost twice that >.> no thanks lol

People who buy the Legendary get the flaming helmet effect in multiplayer. Can't wait to troll the fuck out of people who wasted all that money. For those not aware just what it is, this is what it looks like in Halo 3:

I'll probably pick up the limited edition. You get the same actual interesting stuff plus some in game elite armour. All Legendary adds is the statue and the stupid helmet effect.

[BadKarma]

Im getting the limited one yeah, exclusive elite armor and an art book is cool enough for me

You'd think a flaming head would actually be detrimental, at least slightly, in terms of visibility.

id think it burn your face off, but hay that is just me. I dont take many risks. Maybe a big flaming head will give you eyes that see like a hawk?

[Qalbert]

I meant in game, obviously. A green helmet wouldn't stand out as much against a green background as a flaming one.

[Insanecyclone]

The flame effect shows while cloaked according to people that played against bungie people with it.
