Anyone else think those graphics look absolutely amazing?

[Cerity Insighed]

I'm impressed by the graphics and that new weapon sound. It's like a lock-on super laser thingy-majig.

It sort of sounds like it charges up in the beginning and then shoots like 4 things that explode. Its really wierd. I don't know if thats it but that is all I could get from it.

[MNM1245]

I thought it sounded like some sort of plasma grenade launcher. Sounds like a lobbing sound then plasma grenades.

Halo: Reach's graphics also do look awesome. I can't wait for the Beta. There is going to be one of the new Gametypes in it!!

I really hope there is neutral flag. I miss it so much. Anyway, it does sort of sound like a covenant gun as well. Maybe a covenant version of the spartan laser mixed withaa missile pod.

[MNM1245]

Ya definitely Covenant. And I have a Neutral Flag gametype that my friend modded. I love Neutral Flag. I can't believe Bungie didn't put it in Halo 3. I'm hoping that the mode they show in the Beta is something more casual cause I like more laid back gametypes.

[Loscocco]

One of my friends said that it is probably a gauss rifle that charges up and fires in short bursts and rounds make explosions. Sounds pretty good. Either that or a Covenant alternative to the Spartan Laser.


EDIT: check the ViDoc out

a few things:

new weapon: grenade launcher. Thumper
Pistol has scope
Sprinting animation shown.
Assassination mode shown
better physics: effects (dust, sparks, etc...) magnified.
tons of those moments in CoD where you are in a 1st person cutscene (ex: looking around while in the falcon is in midair, sliding down cliffs with a sniper, etc...)

[DimmestBread]

Added the new vidoc that just came out. Features a DMR, a pump shotgun, a pistol that actually seems like the one from CE but could be the one from ODST (hope not), and a new grenade launcher type thing. Also has some sweet pictures and explains how battles will be larger as well as the step up in the artisticness of the game. Its the first link.

[AceOfSpades]

The DMR looks soooooo sexy.

[MNM1245]

Love the new Vidoc. Got me so excited. The Grenade Launcher looks awesome.

[DimmestBread]

The DMR looks soooooo sexy.

Oh yes it does. I can't rewatch it right now, my internet is screwy so can you tell me if the mag size was 12 shots.

Love the new Vidoc. Got me so excited. The Grenade Launcher looks awesome.

Yeah, it seems like the thumper from MW2 where its one shot and then it looked like they popped the shell out and put a new one in. I think this game will be a great hit.

So the pistol looks like Halo CE but sort of sounds like ODST. I hope its the CE pistol but I have a feeling it will be like ODST.

[DimmestBread]

Sorry for the double post but Its needed.

I just updated the OP with 9 new interviews, 7 of which are in the links and the other two are the top two videos. More information is added at the bottom of the page. New screenshots added to show off Reach.

There is also a new motion capture link as well as a development team blog page as well as screenshots in the links.

[cory21]

Oh yes it does. I can't rewatch it right now, my internet is screwy so can you tell me if the mag size was 12 shots.

Yes, it is pretty much the BR, since both the BR and the DMR have 12 shots per clip (BR has 12 three bursts). The Needle Rifle looks alot like the Carbine, and it will probably be replacing it. It does look really cool though.

Also, the Elite's shields looks awesome, and I mean stunning. The only thing I hope is that Bungie balances the game with range in mind.

In Halo 3:
BR>AR long range
BR=AR short range

Hopefully in Reach:
DMR>AR long range
DMR<AR short range

[DimmestBread]

Reach Multiplayer beta gameplay added.
