Nothing. It was a waste of time.

It was just a video. Like a, 30 min video of Frank O' Connor, T-Squared and RoosterTeeth saying how Reach is going to be awesome. Nothing at all interesting, informative or cool. Not even a little something that would make it actually worth it to be there.

They had a drawing for a Legenary Edition of Reach, I did not win, of course. Everything was done like in 45 mins.

Waste of fuckin' time. But I guess it's my own fault. They played it up like it was going to be some kick ass sneak preview that all of your friends would be jealous of for not being there. It wasn't.

It was so stupid that I must appologize to you guys for even suggesting the idea of attending.

...but Reach is still going to be fuckin' awesome...

Well, if there is a chance of winning an LE not really a waste of time. Then again, I only live ten minutes away from a gamestop, so I wouldn't be wasting a lot of time.

Don't even try it Felix, you weren't there. They didn't even handle the rafle correctly.

Waste. Of. Time.

Midnight Release is where the party's at.

What, did they just pick some dude at random from the crowd?

And well since I wasn't there, I can't comment really so I'll take your word for it.

And indeed it is.

Let me just put it this way...

If any of you guys were standing there with me, we'd be looking at each other going, "...why are we even here?"

Anyways, it doesn't matter now, the release date is upon us more so then it appears, and I'm bat-shit excited son!

Well of course, as my first response would be "How the hell did I get here from NY?"

And same here, I can't wait, sad I am not good at forge

I lost that drawing to a bunch of 13 year old pasty white kids who should have been kicked out, but it was fine for their dad to show up for the last 20 minutes of the thing...

exactly, i was hoping it would be better, but the need of the Halo: Reach Legendary Edition outway OFP:DR

You know, I just now realized that I honestly don't like a whole lot they're changing or adding to the game, (aside from forge 2.0, and other improvements). They really dropped the ball in a few key areas I mean, sure the gameplay's better from what I experienced in the beta, but they're making way too many blind decisions and bad calls. Even though the graphics engine looks amazing, the stuff their using to populate their levels just looks awful. All the new vehicles are pretty poorly designed, and all of their adjustments to previous vehicles and weapons (in terms of appearance) are a big step back from previous installments.

I mean, we're used to what an Elite looks like by now, but they decided to change this for who knows what reason. Now, elites have punctuated looking armor with Megatron looking helmets with each up in rank adding an increasingly more ridiculous looking headpiece onto the previous version, and a flat, snubby looking face. They tried to bring the Covenant back to their roots, but elites never looked like this.

The VidDocs show some of the Devs and Joe Tung saying "Oh, were trying not to rough up people's baby here.", but that's all they've been doing! Most people care about the game play, and and most people play it for its game play, and I honestly don't blame em', Bungie really has no intention of throwing a monkey wrench into their game's mechanics, so they can't really alienate people in that direction, but in the directions in which they can alienate their fans (design being one of them), they have done so with ruthless efficiency:



















I am utterly convinced that Bungie is showing the first signs of George Lucas Syndrome.

I'm fairly certain that you are the only person I have come across thus far who feels that way.

I do think that the space warthog looks pretty lame.
The covenant thing in the second to last picture is too blocky and geometric to look like covenant tech to me.

I know, I didn't even want to read all that bullshit. I skimmed it and just threw it out the window.

@Baconsen: Your signature idea? we're SO doing it now. :twisted:

I think the Revenant looks fine. The Spectre was fine, and the Revenant looks like the Spectre, so I don't see the problem. Hell, the Revenant appears in the earliest Halo videos, but with a different weapon.

As Ang said



+

They look the same? Just because they're of similar color doesn't mean they look similar. Gauz is again, the only one who seems to understand this.

That earliest Halo CE vehicle was neither a Spectre nor a Revenant. When did Ang say the Revenant was a Wraith-Spectre hybrid? If he did, he would be inocorrect though, so I guess it's for the best that he didn't.

Ok, don't?

@Baconsen: Your signature idea? we're SO doing it now

Ok, go for it bit shot.
