Dammit why are these comments so hard to read ?

2012. Damn it.

2012?

Halo Reach Leaked Screenshot - The Movie.

BTW, the originals are on NeoGaf. This Tom stole them to try to gain epeen and posted them on MLG forums.

le shit

They look real. But what worries me the most is the fact that it looks like they used the same old halo 3 engine. Which would suck because, it's age is showing already.

I thought they would come out with a new engine with better graphics. :S

according to the books, the spartans on reach didnt have shields. they did have mjolner armor, though.

The Spartans did have shields at the time the Battle of Reach happened. They'd just received the upgrade to MK V armor.

Of course, the rumors that Buck will be in the game would explain the lack of a shield bar...

I really hate getting this technical, but I believe Master Chief was the only spartan who got a shield at that time. Remember he first got it on the ship at the start of the first game after he had already been separated from the other spartans? Unless I'm forgetting something...

It would only make sense for them to take a game, based on the novel (which is highly squad-based,) in this direction. The fact, well - "imaginary fact" is that Spartans on Reach and the outlying colonies were much less powerful than later iterations due to lack of shield technology and fine-tuning. Due to limitations, squad-based tactics were encouraged, if not mandatory. Most, if not all (to my aged knowledge) of the encounters in the novel are actually squads of Spartans.

In context, sure, seems like a good idea. But when you look at it through a finer scope you're left with them (Bungie) simply emphasizing what was already presented in other (newer, speaking of course of Halo 3 and Halo 3: ODST) permutations of the franchise. They both had four-player cooperative play, it's just a matter of if you chose to take advantage of it or not. They're doing the same thing they did with ODST, they took Halo 3, and pushed it back a couple of steps in an effort to "humanize" the experience. Now what they're doing is simply re-skinning Halo 3: ODST, and adding an extra layer - so what, it's like Halo 3 again, minus some things? So it's like Halo 3: ODST - with benefits? I really don't like the attitude nor direction they're choosing to take these games. Of course we don't have the full story, and it's all merely speculation, there's honestly not many more places you can take this franchise and stay true to the First-Person perspective. I respected Ensemble's take on the franchise, though it was simply 'above average,' at least they had the balls to push in a direction with which they could spread their wings, not limit them.

nope, all the surviving Spartans, except i think for Gray Team, went to the Damascus Testing Facility on Chi Ceti IV to receive their armor

That's it, we're just gonna have to read them books again.

When did they say they were using an all new engine ?

no, it think they did have shields. if i remember correctly, some of the spartans were dropping down in a Pelican before it got shot up, and they had to jump out without parachutes. some didn't survive the landing, but i remember a line that said one of the spartans was falling into trees and saw their shields flickering from the branches until they smacked right into a trunk and the whole shield went out.

...

yeah, i'm a halo fan.

I'm a Halo fan...but I think you mean Uncharted 3, right?

Right...

Troll! Troll in the dungeon! Bring your pitchforks!

go back to your bridge asshole.

agreed. uncarted 3 is one heck of a game. Reach has to be like God-like to beat it. I'll be content if it reaches Uncharted's standard

you ladies are the one's trolling this is not an Uncharted thread
damn SDF needs a break

super mario galaxies 3

Uncharted 2 is one helluva game. Some of the best gameplay this generation. The improvements to an already awesome franchise were mind boggling.

I thought you ran away to N4G.

Halo? lmao, all that series has is purty graphics, nothing else.

Would it shock you to know I bought a 360 well before I bought a PS3, troll? Just because I defend a perfectly-good console in the PS3 doesn't make me part of the "Sony Defense Force". It makes me part of the "Defeating Idiots with Commonly Known Sense" force.

I thought we established that this is sprinkles, or at least I remember seeing.

Why are you all feeding him yet again? No one on earth logically believes halo's better than uncharted 2.

Hey, why don't we make hyperbolic statements after we have played the games.

Considering it's coming out in 2010, being "game of the decade" won't be especially hard, though it still has to compete with the pantheon of 2010

Its funny how you ladies are calling me a troll when you gals are the one's posting unrelated comments and bashing Halo
damn SDF

"Why are you all feeding him yet again? No one on earth logically believes halo's better than uncharted 2."

Tmac, you aren't helping things...

This is a painfully pointless, un-winnable argument

I wasn't trying to help.

Yes seriously, has there ever been flawless leaked footage?

The Last Guardian leaked Trailer was pretty perfect. So perfect in fact, I hated myself for not being surprised when they showed the final trailer at E3.

I thought that trailer was purposely leaked.

The Last Guardian leak was from a media only event. It wasn't intentional.

It's not that Halo is a bad game, you just suck balls at it. You know, like you mother.
