I have it pre-ordered at two places, GameStop and Best Buy.
GameStop has exclusive content and will do a midnight release. I get tons of RewardZone and Gamers Club points at Best Buy.
I'll go to midnight release at GameStop, then pick up one the next day from Best Buy and return it to GameStop. FUCK GameStop and their god damn pre-order exclusive content.
I'm also going to get the Reach console because it looks freakin' awesome.
These screenshots look amazing.
This campaign is going to be awesome. Five more weeks until this is mine!
"After all, they will finally be making games in HD."
Maybe some of your favorite devs will finally be able to surpass the total package that Halo 3 is. Oops, Halo: Reach is about to release. Maybe in three years they can surpass the total package of that, but I doubt it.
Released for cert, and then soon it'll be gold, and then I'm going to stay far far away from all gaming sites, and maybe the entire interwebz.
So close, yet so far away.
Bungie FTW.
I love that nearly every week, the fans are kept in the loop as much as possible by Bungie with the weekly update.
Those maps they built in Forge World look awesome.
Their new studio looks nice also. That video with the Scorpion Tank is sweet and LuLz at the dancing Hunter! XD
I <3 Bungie.
This campaign is going to be epic.
Every single one of those features IS quality. The features from Halo 3 that are being brought to Reach were quality when it released and still are. Now they're improving them and adding even more.
No game has matched the package that Halo 3 offers. Hell, most games don't even do split-screen, when Halo 3 does it.
Most games don't offer co-op, Halo 3 does four player co-op.
Reach is going to dominate my life. I can't wait.
Announcement sucks, but that trailer was pretty badass.
The battles that were about to take place look like they will be EPIC.
Now that you mention the servers, I'm surprised Activision hasn't shut them down by now to push people to the next CoD game.
As for Black Ops, I'll get the regular edition one day, maybe even the Hardened Edition if they make too many and it goes on clearance.
I bought the Hardened Edition of MW2 and don't regret it at all. I'm a sucker for the steelbook cases, and the cover was way better then the standard edition.
"Top Five Worst Modern Warfare Two Perks Ever" He says that like the perks are ever changing and the devs are taking some away and adding new ones.
Maybe that's why I suck at MW2. I think the only one I've unlocked is Scrambler lol. That's probably because I'm always killed by fuckers using those and get fed up and turn it off.
LMAO...nice Fight Club reference. Awesome movie, bubbles!
That's an awesome video dude.
People love to say Bungie isn't pushing tech or whatever, but the fact of the matter, they're the leaders of the pack. Their physics engine is top of the line, as is the lighting engine. Throw in Saved Films/Theater, and they really are top innovators this gen.
I've spent so much time playing around in the water.
It's crazy to crouch underwater and listen to explosions, Ghosts, Warthogs, Mongooses, etc.
I also LOVE the game's brilliant physics for everything. Flying cones from an explosion can kill someone. Rockets can be sniped to detonate them. A Plasma Grenade can stick to a Spike Grenade and be thrown back at whoever threw the Plasma Grenade. The Gravity Hammer can smack rockets away.
If you think Halo is being milked, then don't click on articles about Halo and Master Chief.
Reach's graphics are awesome and underrated just like Halo 3's graphics are awesome and underrated.
A lot of the environments in Halo 3 are open and look amazing especially with a lot of crazy action happening. I think Halo 3 gets tagged as having bad graphics because of the underwhelming human facial models. They look pretty bad, but nearly everything else is awesome. The outdoor environments are lush with amazing lighting. The water is some of the best in video game...
People can disagree with you all they want, but Forge is a HUGE reason why Halo 3 has stayed at or near the top spot of XBL's most played games for nearly three years.
The Halo Community will make some truly amazing things using these tools. Less than two months away, and I'm damn excited.
***EDIT***
I don't want to single out any particular devs because there are some amazing studios, but more of them should aspire to include things...
It's weird because I had seen a few videos and was kinda 'meh' on it, then I played the demo and ended up buying it day one I believe.
Also the game was so awesome, I bought the GigaWatt blades off of EBay for more than I should have. I tried getting GameStop to give me some, but they said they didn't have any left.
Comic style cut-scenes FTW. I'm worried they're going to go Uncharted 2 with it and make it more cinematic with action cu...
The Halo Community will make some amazing things with Forge 2.0. They made some amazing stuff in Halo 3, and with Bungie making Forge more user friendly and efficient, they will no doubt make some stuff that's jaw dropping and incredibly fun.
September 14th cannot come soon enough!
In case you didn't know, Reach is their Halo swan song. They're in the preliminary stages for a new IP.
Besides, no one really cares if you're bored with Halo. Millions of people play it everyday still.
Nah, no disposable income.
I have about $85 in Best Buy RewardZone certificates I'll use. I have close to $60 in rolled change I'll use. I have $54 in GameStop gift cards I'm trying to exchange with someone for cash that I could use. A big chunk of it will be my birthday (in October) and then when my actual birthday comes, any money I get from parents will go towards it as well.
I'm also going to try to sell my current Xbox along with two cont...
