Argh! My laptop can't handle processing that orgasm. From what I saw, it looks kinda cool. :)

There are leaked screenshots that show a BR-like weapon (stripped AR with scope? BR predecessor? Whatever it is, it looks like what the 'lone wolf' was carrying) and what appears to be the deformed child of the needler and the carbine. Can't wait to get more details. A part of me is sad that elites will be the enemy again, because while brutes may have been less interesting, the elites have such a cool backstory and culture, and presumably they won't pull a Halo 2 on us again (I'm playing as WHAT NOW?) so we won't get to explore that much anymore.

I have wanted to kill Elites again for two games now.

ODST almost reeked of RetCon in that department.

Yep... Brutes are amazingly dull.

Killing brutes is a bit like killing 4chan users, really. All they do is go BAW and rage at things.

Yeah so apparently the February 2010 issue of Game Informer will have details regarding Halo: Reach. Sounds awesome. :)

Cool, it looks like they turned the reptile-Jackal guys from Halo: CE into an entirely new enemy.

Weapon lineup isn't half-bad either.

I'm wondering if Firefight will return, and what they plan to do with Multiplayer.

Why does she have an XBox controller plugged into a computer?

(Now I know somebody's going to say "you're a homo for noticing that" :P)


I was a bit miffed with those scans, the light obscures a lot of the text on the third page. In fact those aren't scans at all, just photographs. Still cool though. :ick:

It's How the game is playtested. Before burn to master disk. Didn't anyone watch the bonus stuff on the halo 3 tin second DVD?

You can see here, the Death Star orbiting the forest moon of Endor. Although, the weapon systems on this Death Star or not yet operational, the Death Star does have a strong defense mechanism. It is protected by an energy shield which is generated from the nearby forest moon of Endor.

There are some pretty snazzy screenshots and concept art up on IGN.  What I've seen looks impressive...   most impresive

I almost wish they would remaster the whole series to this standard.
