Halo: Reach

http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=BWU_062510

Another great new gametype, Race -ok, it's not new, but it's been overhauled completely, checkpoints, lap times, on track restarts if you go off the map.

Looks like I might not need a kart racer on 360 after all. I am really impressed with Reach MP so far, Bungie really seem to have gone all out.

Also they say cinematics look really nice now thanks to mocap, they have some new lightining weather effects and they tease this:

Did I tell you that when Marcus noted Reach’s multiplayer maps were taken straight from the campaign that we weren’t telling you the full story?

Bungie day is soon, can't wait to see what they show off then
 
If only they would give us reach beta on bungie day

Yea,

Also, i don't think we've seen firefight been played on this map before, (it's the night time version of overlook).

Their game looks really good at night scenes, thanks to the huge amount of light sources compared to 3 (including all the plasma fire)

The sheer amount of enemies Reach can throw at you is also impressive, that vid really shows off a proper battle - the fact that the Covenant are intelligent and have real character also helps.

And skirmishers are seriously fast! I take back what I said about then not being scary, they're like velociraptors

Some people on halogaf are speculating about a beast mode(gears3) variant on firefight.You play covenant something like left for dead but i think beast mode is cooler. Start like a grunt or skirmisher and earn points to unlock elite,brutes and hunter. And the Ai are first normal civilians(Rebels) then soldiers then odst then spartans.


And i love the new grunt designs.
Luv the new hunter designs.
 

I was impressed with this video. Really looks quite intense, quite a step up over ODST.
It's impressive what they are managing to get the old box to do.
 
Bungie is really going all out, and the fact that they're pretty much done with the content and still hinting at unrevealed features is quite exciting.
 
Hope bungie reveals forge 2.0 on bungie day.
Please be a full blown map editor not a map manipulator.
They already gave some map making tools with the sandbox dlc in halo 3.
Or atleast the empty space to make a level with objects.

They really, really need a custom game browser.........
 
RACE. NextBox in 2015: Confirmed!

I won't need another game until then...

Lol and if bungie is awesome they should make a agreement with microsoft to make halo:Reach forward compatible with enhanced graphics.
Halo:reach 1080p@60fps then reach can outlive any game. Knowing business we probably get a full hd remastered version out of 343 studios would still totally buy it.

Firefight looks really impressive and its crazy to know that Bungie has more unvealed features for the game.Im also hoping that the rumored Beast like mode will be included in the game.As far as armor abilities go, I can't wait to use the hologram in mp as it should be pretty fun and interesting to use..All in all, Halo Reach is shaping up to be an incredible game..
 
I'd like a "beta" showing the final game with all the tweaks made to MP to see how it plays. They are saying and doing the right things as per BWU's but I still want a hands on feel for the changes. Overall, Reach is well above my expectations already knowing Bungie there will always be a surprise or two at the end.
 
Yeah it does but I do hope they make some changes to it. The gameplay in firefight was great but the game parameters were poor.

Too many skulls and too many waves lead to hours and hours of continous play. Unlike Horde which kept track of progress with Waves, you had no such thing in firefight. You start fresh each time. No matchmaking was an another obvious one but that has been fixed. The key here is shorter game lenght and/or progress checkpoints.
