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!!

BETA is comming

So okay, I know its really a Delta (Their public BETA its their internal Delta, messy, isn´t it?) but greek alphabet aside, on 3rd May we´ll be able to taste the first Halo: Reach gameplay experience. I must say that this time I´m more excited about Multiplayer than Campaing, in contrast with previous Halo launches. Because, well, this time I know how its gonna end.

I´ll try to get myself as XboX Live Gold as I can for the upcoming May slaughter, and you can be sure I´ll write here about nearly everything from the Beta. Graphics, Map Design, Gameplay... Also expect severe ranting if something is not of my liking :P

In the (short) meantime you can check, as always, Bungie.net. They have a Reach Beta Guide and several articles about maps and game variants.

Also check out the new video about Reach. Its not a ViDoc, but a trailer, and looks sweet.

Oh, and if I get myself a Gold, I´m planning to be back to Halo3/ODST bussines as well, so more updates and post about that might be coming

Reach News

Hi again, surfing around Bungie.net I found some sweet news about the incoming Halo Reach. You know, I´m planning on doing an in-dept article about Reach (speculation included) and also a post-beta report (if I manage to get my hands on the Beta and Live Gold). But for now, I´ll just brief you with the news Bungie may have already told ya.

You know, if you go around their web this post will be mostly useless, but isn´t that the thing that makes you love this blog??

Halo Reach Game Editions
If you are at least a bit of a Halo Fan you may already expect to see the Standard, Collector´s and Legendary Editions.

Reach delivers that three packages (although the Collector´s is called "Limited") and content its detailed here Halsey´s personal journal looks pretty sweet and has already catch my attention. (You don´t know who Dr Halsey´s is??? Then you´re not a Halo fan, begone!) And also the Noble Team statue in Legendary Edition looks good, but I don´t know if good enough to make me pay nearly twice the price of Limited Edition....

Multiplayer ViDoc

Bungie has posted a new ViDoc, now I haven´t seen it (I´m updating from a sinister place with no MS Silverlight installed...) but you should check it out... you know... its free.

This short update comes to an end, hope to see you soon!

Updating, again!

I haven´t stepped into darkness and seclusion yet, so here I am again to offer you some not-so-fresh but juicy news.

ODST Legnd
First, I completed Halo ODST on Legendary. Man, what a night. Some points where I tought "this is gonna be hell" were easy as pie. But others that looked easy were... hell. But I must admit it wasn´t so hard, compared to what I feared (Noob Combo FTW). So finally I can play as Dare!!


Not only that I like seeing chicks killing dozens of Covies, but also I love her Recon Armor.

The Fall of Reach:
A trailer of the upcoming Halo: Reach bungie title has been on the net for quite a few days now. So if you haven´t seen it, now its your time to do so.



Seems nice, huh? Well, maybe it isn´t as epic as the ones we were used to regarding Halo (although you have to admit that the Covenant Cruiser looks pretty epic and... scary) we just see a Spartan squad with presumably MJOLNIR Mark IV armor and a new addition to the squad. A lone survivor of "Pegasi" which, we pressume, its also a Spartan.

First, the speculation!
This is my blog, and I love to speculate regarding the Halo Universe. And about Reach and the trailer, there´s plenty to think about. We have a Spartan team, nicknamed "Noble". We´ll, the main Spartan force was commanded by Frederick, the Blue Leader. And descended on a Pelican to protect the MAC Stations generators, which were on the surface of the planet and also were very vulnerable to Covenant ground units. (Read Halo: The Fall of Reach and Halo: First Strike to know more) So what´s with this team? Are they even Spartan-II? I guess so, but I can only guess.

Regarding the Lone survivor of Pegasi. He may come from Pegasi Delta, a small planet were the Covenant held a colony and a refuelling station. 300 Spartan-III were sent to assault the colony in Operation TORPEDO. Only two survived: Tom B-292 and Lucy B-091. So if our lonewolf is a survivor from Pegasi, he/she must be either Tom or Lucy. Or he/she might even be another Spartan-III survivor, you know, when everything goes to hell in a military operation its hard to tell how many of your friends are dead, mortally wounded or just MIA

But of course, Pegasi might mean anything else and non-related. Thats the sad part of speculation

Onto the trailer itself:
Look at that graphics, aren´t they great for a CGI trailer? Think again, because Bungie stated they were INGAME Graphics. Wow, thats just amazing, isn´t it? I can´t wait to see the finished product. Oh, and the Elites are back......
