Neat. :o
Taken from the MLG BoardsQuote:
it is a one shot battle rifle with 12 rounds, pretty powerful and effective long range http://www.mlgpro.com/forum/images/s.../icon_razz.gif
and now for the bad part...

This is what the HUD looks like. In the bottom left, you can see your squadmates health and names. Right above the radar shows what perks you are carrying. When I played there were 3 perks-sprinting, cloaking, and halogram. The sprinting makes you run when you hold LB, cloaking makes you invisible (when you cloak your radar jams and you can't really hear anything around you). The halogram creates a halogram of yourself, so enemies will shoot at both.
Hate the laser, hate the "BR", hate the HUD. Also not really digging the "cloak" or "hologram" perks.
I hope to god these are fake. That art style really rubs me the wrong way.
Did anyone else notice the needler that got buttfucked by the bastard child of a carbine and a FRG?
Anybody else think Mass Effect when they saw this?
e@daishi: needler/splazer?
Health bars for the win....
The second to last pic seems sort of like a spartan laser\needler crossover type weapon, at least, that's what it looks like.
Why would anyone want that ugly ass scope for a BR? Rest looks really cool imo.
So uh, why is it using the Halo 3 engine? >_>
One more thing :
I'm probably paranoid and coming up with any reason to believe this isn't real, but am I the only one who thinks that looks a hell of a lot like the H1 hog's textures?
Uh... how can you tell the engine from poop-cam pics? ">_>"Quote:

BR looks fucking hideous my god. I like the other things, lazer looks cool, does any one else see this as a new attachment for hog?Quote:

Looks cool, although just looks like Halo 3 + 1, I thought reach was going to be CRAZY different.
Cool pictures though, so its already in testing phase? They let some random douche in to play.
Don't worry, you're not paranoid. I see that as well.Quote:

Someone is gonna ask Bungie what these screenshots mean, I just know it <_>
Keep in mind this is set before H1. It's entirely possible that they're using similar textures, and you can't exactly tell how detailed they are.Quote:

Not quite sure, but it just doesn't look any different from Halo 3, even seeing it through poop-cam pictures.Quote:

Everything's obviously in Alpha stage. You can see the UV stretching in the cliffs in the first pic as well as a bunch of reused Halo 3 assets. I really hope the HUD is a placeholder. Doesn't look too good to me.
Also I think I spy a new type of rocket launcher in the 3rd pic. Look like a cross between the standard rocket launcher and the missile pod. Return of the target seeking rockets from Halo 2?
So... This is NOT going to be class-based, as many had been predicting, but more of a Rainbow 6/COD/H3 hybrid?
I'm reserving all judgments until Bungie gives us some official pics; I suggest you do the same.
Also, H1 hog textures may be placeholder, or it may be heavily inspired by the H1 'Hog.
This IS set directly before the events of H1, after all...
The guy who took the pics and posted them on MLG forums, says that it holds 12 shots per magazine, and fires one shot at time, but has a longer range than the battle rifle. The needler\carbine thing fires needles (obviously), and causes a superdetonation when 3 needles contact a target. With only 3 needles requireing an explosion, it most definately fires slower than the normal needler, or the carbine for that matter.

Perks...in my SP? :smith:
Cool
This is...interesting to say the least. I have high hopes, but I'm reserving final judgment.
Get this over to Darkshallfall or Zteam or something :realsmug:
This. I would love to get my hands on a copy of it.Quote:

Also, the BR I think the model just got jacked and theres some messed up stuff.
Also, baww your eyes out if it's not class based.
No one leaked or promised it was going to be class based shooter, I would have liked it to be, but bungie seems to have found what kind of game appeals to the public. If you had a stunt that you pulled, that everyone liked, but you know sucked, and you got lots of money, and there was another one that some people liked, but was really good for you, would you do the one taht would get you more money, or the one you would like more?
E: and as far as i can see, I can't even fuckin tell if it's a class based or not.
EE: this shouldn't turn into a "aww its not class based like i expected fuck bungie boycott them destroy you h3 disk, cancel your preorders" like MW2 was.
Your choice, man.
PS: I am not against class based shooters, but I didn't bet $1,000,000,000,000,001 on it and all of my hopes and dreams on it, either.
I like the BR.
Looks cooler.
Safe to say that's not a BR. Don't know what the hell it is. Look at the ammo counter, the bullets are pretty big, it holds less shots? Maybe they're bringing back single-fire to please all the Halo 1 fans.
I like the needle weapon, it's out of the box of the normal stuff. The ammo counter's making it look like some sort of slow-firing type of weapon. Judging from the crosshair I'd say a long-range weapon?
I also see an AR behind the pause menu lol
Sigh..Quote:

The fact that it says "Start solo game" instead of just "Campaign" makes me raise an eye.
Also, the "Reset Level"...I could have sworn it was "Reset Mission" in H3/ODST?
Those two changes don't make much sense to me with the Bungie Way
I'm skeptical about these being real right now. However, there appears to be some console debug messages in one of those images...which favors these being authentic; if they could actually be read anyway.

But while typing this I noticed the little green text and you are right it does look like debug text.
E: and the needles look so much more badass when they are jagged.
Placeholders? Probably yet game art should be nearly done. So most work should be nearly at final stages, just not all pretty yet...
You guys seem to forget Reach is before Halo 1. So vehicles will look like old tech and weapons won't be as refined because they have had little contact with the covenant.
Menu is weird it's at wrong angle it terms of parelell to the screen and it's on right hand side usually it's on left.

Well, seems like something Bungie would put there, may very well be legit then.
If not, whoever made this didn't have too bad of an idea of what it could have been.
and if they can make shit of this quality, who cares if its fake?
That AR reticle is lol huge...
they are all lolhuge.

It's actually not there. That's just stuff getting in the way, making it look like the :iamafag: face.
Obviously.
Reach is immediately before Halo 1. It would be the same tech. All the Halo games take place within a period of few months in 2552, at the end of a decades-long war. There's no story reason for the diversity of weapons within a two-month span. The only reason we're only seeing them now is because no one at Bungie thought of or implemented them before.Quote:

gee thanks
Seeing has how there is a dual monitor setup this can mean:
1. This is a development setup. Left view is for the target xbox while the right is for the development pc. Keyboard is for 360 input.
2. The user has two xboxes, so both monitors could be hooked up to both machines.
Also, the power sockets are conveniently setup with the desk space (IMO). This could be by luck or by actual design...as in a studio or home testing area.
My best assessment is that a friend of an employee or tester (as all of Bungie recently took the game home) used their shotty cell phone to raise the size of their epeen.
Did anyone else see the resemblance of this and a50 (The Truth and Reconciliation)?Quote:

this guy is such an idiot for taking pictures of the monitors.
All Bungie has to do is watch security cam footage on that monitor. This guy's fucked.
Assuming this isn't take-home, which I wouldn't think it is.
It looks like there is a window close by on the left (possibly also causing the light source on the monitor too). I don't recall there being windows in the main play test area at Bungie's Kirkland Way studio. All the more support that this is a development terminal or someone's home setup.
If I was the studio, I would put hard to remove labels on the kits to act as a watermark in these cases. That or have on visual record where each box is setup at, office or home :downs:
Frankly I think the fake mainmenu looks better than the real one.
Havent ya read last weeks Bungie update? Every Bungie employee recieved a playtest copy of Reach.Quote:

At the end of the day, it's just a videogame. Nothing of value was gained or lost from this leak. I don't see it as a security problem anyone needs to go out of their way to solve with radio isotope signatures or retinal scans.
Sure, Microsoft's PR cycle for Reach just took a slight hit, because they can no longer dole out every measured morsel of information leading up to the release in order to generate maximum hype and secure optimal levels of pre-orders. Boo hoo for them.
And sure, if any of this leaked stuff gets cut, Bungie will be held accountable by fanboys for some impassioned, poorly thought-out reason or another. But ultimately, this information is unimportant.
I would laugh if this was the 'shit that was cut' build and none of it makes it to release :downs:
Its been proven he didnt release them, he just stole them and bashed on his name, in paint.Quote:

I don't expect much Reach news until then.
I was hoping for a little christmas present for Bungie to do with Reach, we can wish right :allears:
The leaked screens do get me excited but they look mid-alpha stages so alot of this stuff could be very different by the time we get to play it.
Even though I have the beta key to this the more I look at these pics the more I'd want to have this game on PC. I bet it would work really well, maybe better than on Xbox, assuming the pics aren't fake and we're talking about a more tactical and teamwork-based shooter.
The halo games are slowly getting a pc based game look to them.
AFAIK Reach is still early in development. If the images are real, nobody should believe anything shown in them, besides the fact that the game is coming along. Everything is subject to change and anyone to pass judgement on the game because of these shots is a fucking moron.
Being a community of mod developers that tend to take our hobby a little TOO seriously sometimes, this SHOULD be common sense.
Unless they did what they did with halo 2 this should be a sign of things to come though.Quote:

Still, everything should be taken with a grain of salt.
Think about it, they seem to be experimenting with perks. What if the perks turned out to be useless, or break gameplay somehow? What if, in response to that, they cut perks entirely? Hell, what if the concept of perks in Halo was simply fan speculation that started with a rumor and snowballed entirely from there, and is yet accepted as fact?
Well, everyone who looked at these images and read those posts would be disappointed when they get an official update detailing game features and the perks are missing. This would cause an unnecessary negative reaction from the fan base, because they didn't stop to think, "Wait, this is a leak of a game in development. Everything here might not be there later."
This looks pretty damn nice IMO, and I'm curious to see how perks work. I don't doubt that it will be a quality game, and they have to add something new each game so I'm open to perks and these new weapons. Also, yay for health.
Yeah, I think the poster must not have been an educated Halo player...pretty sure they meant equipment (power-ups) which have been around since the dawn of the game, but didn't let you carry them until Halo 3Quote:

I thought I did spoiler it, but then again, if you were one to look at leaked shots of Reach, wouldn't you not care about potential spoilers, anyway?
There isn't even any plot revealed, just gameplay.
Kinda sounds like they are trying to do the Halo they originally intended for (especially with that animal thing)
Yeah one thing they never really talk about is the types of indigenous animals found on habitable worlds like Reach.
Color me intrigued.
I didn't read it, but from what you guys have said in the last two posts, LOLHALOANIMALS?!
cool.
Yeah, hate to be a spoiler, but one of the achievements is "Gotta Ketchum All" which you unlock after killing each LOLHALOANIMAL type
