Halo: Reach new trailers

What? No time to talk, you need to go to bungie´s media page if you haven´t already. There are two new sweet videos. One regarding the new Firefight 2.0 and another... another for the Reach´s campaign...

Space Combat

Yup, I didn´t want to spoil it but you got your time....There´s gonna be Space Combat in the new Halo game!!! I can´t hardly believe it! I mean, it showed just a few seconds, but those weren´t cutscenes, thats for sure. The visuals where impresive.

About the rest of the trailer well, the Heavy Spartan (the only Spartan-II in Noble Team) looked way too bulky for my liking, but I suppose thats how Heavy Weapon guys should look...

Right now there´s not much else I can tell you. Too exited, and late for class. More to come before the weekend ends.

Halo: Reach launch date

Halo: Reach, the prequel to Halo: Combat Evolved is hitting the stores on September 14th this year. It was announced a few days ago, I know, but... you know... there´s a little article on the works and I don´t really know what else to say :P

Oh yeah, while you should know that my Gamertag is Verdadero Khan, I also play from time to time as "Disco Chepy" its a friend´s second account and, when you see me playin´with it you know we´re thogether having a great Halo party which probably involves beer and chips. Also, yesterday we played and... well... we tagged up with two great guys in this game. And in the course of the match my pal Marduk Grey, fired a rocked and killed one of our two teammates.... we didn´t had headphones so, let me say to you that he´s sorry... we´re sorry! You are two great players, and it was a very fun game. (See? I did had more things to say :P)



Sierra-Kilo-Zero-Four-Two out!!

Lt. Khan

Hurray! Finally I´ve left the NCOs ranks, although for some reason my Gamertag didn´t unlocked the achievement, who cares :P



Pretty, isn´t it?

Playing around Matchmaking again after so long feels good, really good. I´ve been concentrating on getting used again to the maps and weapons. I´m surprised to see how little the Mythic maps appear in regular matchmaking games, at least of Ranked TeamSlayer/Squad Battle and Social Big Team Battle, which is mostly what I´ve been playing

My old favorites Sandtrap, Highground and Valhalla are still around, and still host most of the Team games. My old hated maps are, sadly, still there, Guardian, Epitaph and Snowbound keep appearing and are not vetoed enough

HaloCharts keeps rocking

Honestly, if you haven´t you must go to HaloCharts. The rich display of stats is something that makes me proud of being a Halo3 player. You can see almost everything concerning your Matchmaking skills, and you can learn a lot from it. Also you can mark your own goalds (like upgrade your K/D ratio, or gain more EXP) and see the daily progress. I´ve marked quite a few goals to try make myself a better player and hopefully some of them will be accomplished before this month ends.

HaloCharts and a few other sites I´ve seen around have made me think about adding a Link´s section to the blog. That takes me to the next and last topic


Khan switches to C.Q.B.

I´ve switched my armor permutation into full gear CQB. I was a little tired of ODST helmet and, anyway, I´ve been using all but the helmet for a long time now, why not give it a try? The helmet looks good, and I feel confortable with it. So confortable that maybe I have to update the Blogs image and apperance. Maybe put it in combination with my new colors and style? I hope that this time I come and stay for real, this little blog surely deserves some of my post-matchmaking time


Happy New Gear

Golden Khan

XboX Live Gold
Yay! That´s it, I´m an XboX Live Gold user once again... We´ll at least for a month. You see, I got this one offer which grants you a Month of Live for 1 Euro. Its a pretty good deal if you ask me, but as the link says (if you can read spanish) it could be viewed (by paranoids) as a trap/trick. After the month the subscription will keep upgrading to gold automatically every month.

I see no trick, and at the same time I see it. If you can read there´s no trick and no danger, you pay the Euro, get your month and 3 days before the end of the subscription you either cancel it or decide to stick and be Gold for a few more months. But if you CANT read, something the average internet user keeps demonstrating, you´ll end up with a month of "conscious Gold" and several others paying up for it maybe without even knowing!

Too bad, you evil evil Microsoft, you make a great offer and warn about the (obvious) consequences!

Pics from the past

Here are two pics from the last time I had Gold for more than two days. Ahh the god ol´times, were everything was new and SandTrap was the only map big enough for BTB. I´ve actually gotten worse for all these months without online practice, but I hope to catch up were I left and get even better. See you on Live =3!!!
