Ask Me Anything: Halo: Reach

i kinda like this

You guys did a great job with this one :)

I'm glad they included a shielding alternative to the Armour Lock. Actually, the Drop Shield turned out to be my favourite armour ability because it heals everyone inside the bubble. I have no idea how I would have completed the campaign on Heroic without it.

This game is SO pulchritudinous. I CANNOT wait for the thing to come out

The beta was fun.

drew kinda sucked...

still fucking ridiculous auto aim

theres a developer walkthrough of the same StockPile match from blue teams perspective on youtube  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RV6MaNR12yY&playnext_from=TL&videos=mHQrcdodJO0&feature=sub

" jet packs do not make EVERYTHING better... they dont make super models better... because then they can get away "

hawt! theres bumper jumper!  

Gonna Be AWESOME!!!!!

Just watched the whole thing :D  (lol)

Looks like the made changes that will update the game the way they updated MP gaming back with Combat Evolved.  So excited.

What's up with the quest completion not being recognized? :S

love the dune reference

Have now watched the video twice, and no quest completion on either browser :(

For the first time ever I'm actually interested in a Halo game. Never been all that impressed by the previous games but this is looking pretty good. I need to look into this one a bit more.

how could someone not love the dune series

I hope this makes up for Halo 3's lack of innovation. Elites are finally awesome in multiplayer!

sweet

cool

This looks awesome. It's now on my list of games to definitely get this year. Can't wait!

This is like the 5th time I'm watching this in its entirety.  Hopefully this one works this time.

I will not let this beta ruin my GCSEs.  I will not let this beta ruin my GCSEs.  I will not let this beta ruin my GCSEs.

 Fudge it, I'm blatantly going to be playing this in all my spare time during study leave :P

This looks fantastic. I'm very much in on this when the Beta hits.

Halo:CE is the greatest, Reach Plz dont dissapoint....

YAY GIANT BOMB IS ON WAYPOINT AGAIN WITH THIS VIDEO!
 
Not sure but I think it is drasically cut to about 10 minutes on Waypoint and it sounds as if they done a second voice over recording to fit with the new amount of footage. (Same footage, different amount.)

I don't really care for Halo, but this is actually looking pretty sweet. Might be a purchase for me.

Thanks Brad, 
Awesome vid. Can't wait for the BETA to start!

Looks pretty good but...what's with the announcer? =(
 
P.S. Focus Rifle looks awesome

I love the increased movement speed. The matches seem way more fast paced than previous games.

 haha!
 
"you could also set it to search for people who speak italian... Jeff."
 
great callback. 

Watching the video for a game I don't care about for quests...
 
Now I know what points whores feel like

Finally, something that might take me away from MW2

" Oh look, it's Halo......laaame. "

This is going to be INSANE!!!!!!

Oh look, it's Halo......laaame.

This was at an event, they're not going to be perfect.

I feel like the people on the ER who yell at them for playing wrong, but really? In that flag capping thing he could have scored several times, but ran around with the flag instead, giving it to the enemies. When the dude was sniping the generator, he waited way to long to pull out his pistol and try to shoot them. 
edit- He also did not care about the new bloom- kept shooting his pistol fast as hell even though it wasn't accurate anymore. 
edit- It means everything for cR in terms of Singleplayer, co-op, multiplayer, etc. YOu can't get cR though custom games. 
double edit- DMR isn't more powerful- per shot/burst it's a 5 shot kill compared to the BR's 4 shot. It may fire faster though.

Oh great. Here I am. Watching this AGAIN because the quest wasn't posted early enough. What am I doing...

Seems like Drew was just playing that mode completely wrong.

" Oh man, I HAVE to get into this beta!(But I'm not willing to pay for ODST considering I've already played the campaign and enough firefight to never want to play it again) "
