Title: Halo: Reach off-screen images
Post by: Herr Mafflard on November 05, 2009, 05:19:26 PM: Quote
Gameplay Details:
New carbine that shoots needles, and explodes when 3 needles are hit.

BR
It is a one shot battle rifle with 12 rounds, pretty powerful and effective long range.

Perks
New HUD (see photos). In the bottom left, you can see your squad mates health and names.
Right above the radar shows what perks you are carrying. When I played there were 3 perks-sprinting, cloaking, and hologram.
The sprinting makes you run when you hold LB
Cloaking makes you invisible (when you cloak your radar jams and you can’t really hear anything around you).
The hologram creates a hologram of you, so enemies will shoot at both.

Post by: iconoclast on November 05, 2009, 05:22:43 PM: I like the addition of sprint. Perks, not so much (if that's indeed what they are).

I hope it's not on the same old dated Halo 3 engine, but I'm sure it will be. :-\

Supposed to be a new game. ODST came with the multiplayer beta, btw, whenever that starts.

Post by: OptimoPeach on November 05, 2009, 05:31:20 PM: -If they're really changing the BR then I wonder what the new default weapon is going to be
-I like the oldschool HUD
-Carbine (if that is a carbine -- looks like a new gun entirely) is way too bulky
-Hologram sounds OP, though it's hard to say without the details

also, you can see that the driver is using the cloak perk

Title: Re: Halo: Reach off-screen images
Post by: cool breeze on November 05, 2009, 06:00:55 PM: not to get too far into the Halo lore, but doesn't this take place before Halo 1? a lot of weapons being inferior to those in 1, 2, 3, ODST would probably make sense. That big ass part at the end of the Warthog could be some prototype rocket launcher before it was scaled down.

then again I didn't play Halo Wars, so maybe that says different.

I believe it's the Tom Morello engine, which is a great engine except for one tiny flaw they haven't been able to fix.
Title: Re: Halo: Reach off-screen images
Post by: Bebpo on November 05, 2009, 07:22:08 PM: Why don't they just call this Halo 4 or Halo 0 or whatever. Giving them spinoff names hurts the franchise more than it helps imo. Just makes it feel like it's not going to be on the same caliber as the mainline games.

Look at that mountain in the background. That's just pre-WoW MMO quality.

and look at how small those people are. I don't mind a few midgets, but if all the enemies are midgets I'm just gonna have to tom morello

Tom Morello

Tom Morello looks like he came right out of a Bethesda game with that dead eyed stare and low poly count.

He's even got the big nose - maybe he's a nord.

Probably not. The reason Reach is hitting next year is because Epic wont be ready with Gears of War 3. Possibly because they need the extra time to develop a better online system.
Could've sworn that they said Gears 3 won't be for the 360.

Don't remember but I thought they said it would be for the next MS console.

Post by: The Fake Shemp on November 06, 2009, 10:19:32 AM: There was some speculation of that at TGS, but Epic has since clarified saying THEY DON'T REALLY KNOW.
Title: Re: Halo: Reach off-screen images
Post by: FlameOfCallandor on November 06, 2009, 10:29:07 AM: Yeah Gears was great.

I think I prefer 3rd person games to First person games. We need more 3rd person shooters.

Halo 3 and ODST look like absolute dogshit. I don't expect anything else form Reach. Bungie doesn't care about graphics- Halo sheeps will buy it anyway.

Post by: brawndolicious on November 06, 2009, 01:34:21 PM: They're sheep because they don't care about the graphics?

Besides, you can't even tell anything about the relative detail level from shots like this.

I understand not caring so much about graphics, but it gets ridiculous when fanboys and media fall back on "pre-alpha," early on, switch to "it's got a subtle beauty" when it's apparent that not much will change, and "suffers from minor issues, but the art direction is great, 9/10" when it's released. If your fans and the critics are grasping for ways to avoid telling it like it is about the visuals, there really isn't much reason for them to improve.
Title: Re: Halo: Reach off-screen images
Post by: Bocsius on November 06, 2009, 03:56:40 PM: 1) Halo 3's graphics are fine.
2) Reach's graphics look like placeholder.
3) Reach should be cancelled.
4) ? ? ?
5) :bow Gears of War 3 :bow2

Diluting the franchise is 343 Industries' entire mission statement. :hyper
