Bungie Day 2o1o!

[mista tipsta]

So we're quickly approaching Bungie Day, the 7th of July, and I'm wondering what you think the Developers of Win will do this year!
In '08 we got a free new map and in '09 we played in Bungie vs The World, where they gave out thousands of Recon Amours.
So, whatchya think's in store for Twenty Ten?

[Zackj191]

You missed the first year that Halo 3 was out when we got a free XBL Skin, which they don't use anymore :(

[Skittlemeister]

We'll all get Halo 3 custom Halo: Reach armor, rife with Armor Abilities and Grenade Launchers, all to be used on Halo: 3.

[MNM1245]

I'm thinking they will drop a huge bomb about Reach. I doubt it would be any new content for Halo 3. Maybe a nice new theme. Probably just some good ol' news.

[Tim]

If it was anything like Bungie Day 2007, a whole ****load of Halo: Reach info.

[mista tipsta]

it'd be total cool if it were a second beta (get it?) for custom games and a taste of campaign, but thats not going to happen .
I suspect Reach information and new video.

[PsychoBucket]

I think there will be something in game. Even if it is just bungie vs the world again, but I think they will try to improve.

[MultiLockOn]

It's hard to believe it's already been a year since that last Bungie day when everyone got Recon, isn't it....

[mista tipsta]

here's a bump since tomorrow is bungie day. maybe some ones got an idea..

[Prod]

Free wine?

[Null Parameter]

Supposedly there's some super classified material scheduled to be released tomorrow in Halo Waypoint.

I'm still hoping for Forge details.

[Master Debayter]

Brute Beer? :awe:

[Sgt Jackson CC]

on your halo reach stats there's a space for custom games-but it is only the Beta service record. now i wonder, why put custom games on a Beta service record if there was no customs?

me thinks it will be an event a few days long where we perhaps get custom games and are introduced to forge-but with forge maybe just a video or info or something, not that we can use just yet

[Coyote1023]

Yea, but there were also many armor types that were currently not available in the beta. A lot of the code for the final game was in the beta but they just locked it off in a corner. So there is a custom game locker because they are setting it up for the final game, that way it is just copy-pasta.

[Time Glitch]

New Reach info for sure, maybe a map reveal or something.

And perhaps more looks into the armor?

(PLEASE I NEED MY MARK V HELMET)

[Fenian Bhoy]

So, never been good at forging but I'm hoping for more details on this "soccer" gametype, if it is true, I will be a freaking God.

[Time Glitch]

...

Nevermind...

"Outsource" means "Halo Waypoint"...X*(

Oh well.

Bungie day 2010 to go down as the worst Bungie Day of all time?

*sigh* Damn...I was getting really pumped for it this year.

[DeathsFriend22]

Forge 2.0 info.

[Hadokenchild]

It could possibly be the reveal of the "visual flair" from playing Halo 2. It could also show Reflection. I'm not going to hold my breath for Forge info tho.

[Thefallen365]

HALO: REACH FORGE BETA!!!

[Null Parameter]

YouTube- RvB_Halo_Deja_View_ESRB_720pST.wmv

Blood Gulch Remake + Expanded Play Area
Hologram AA
Rocket Warthogs

[Coyote1023]

And water reflections.

[Nick the Ratman]

Holy crap, I just watched this on Bungie.net and I'm still not over it.

[Master Debayter]

I didn't care what they did, but I liked the video. :D

[Null Parameter]

In the post on Bungie it said that the video would be up on XBL tomorow, but there is still a Classified Release in Halo Waypoint scheduled for today...

[MNM1245]

In the Video it they talk about how huge the area is outside the canyon is.

The final paragraph in the b.net post says "World Domination is coming into reach."

Coincidence or tricky wording made to throw our minds in the blender?

I think there might be some sort of world takeover mode or something.

[l33tmeerkatslol]

If you look on Grif's chest, you see a UNSC logo, but I don't think I saw it on anyone else. Now our emblems get shown on our Spartans? I don't think they did in the beta.

The hologram AA is interesting to say the least. Also, when you have it it's the Yellow pack on the Spartans back. =D

Teleporters confirmed and they look like the one's on Cold Storage. I'm wondering if those are the only ones available.

Carrying flag + Using Armour Abilities setting.

I don't know about you guys but at 4:32 it looked like he was in the air for a good amount of time. I remember using the jetpack and after going down a bit, trying to get back up would waste your jetpack pretty hard, so I'm wondering if there's an unlimited AA setting or if I'm just crazy.

The guy on top of the canyon has the yellow pack on his back which is the hologram AA, so you can get up to the top of the map without jetpack. I'll just leave this (http://www.xforgery.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8541) here.

They've already said that there is an unlimited AA setting, as well as bottomless ammo.

I was watching a video on G4 about some Halo: Reach E3 coverage and one of the Bungie guys said that there is an option to change it in firefight (because that was what they were talking about/previewing). But I figure that if you're allowed to make it unlimited in firefight, you should be allowed to change it in custom games.

Also, just as speculation, if there is "extended play area," the new Blood Gulch looks pretty damn big. 16 players seems like it would be too small for such a large map.

Assuming that Bungie didn't lie, they've already said that 16 players was the max.

The thing is, the area past the water as well as on top of the canyon where they were all standing, I don't think is accessible in game. My belief is that it was placed there for forgers such as us to go and abuse it and strut our stuff. I also don't doubt the invisible barriers idea, because I would think that it'd be impossible to get up there without a banshee, which would open the possibilities of one team going up to hide there. Thus, being blocked in Matchmaking but open for customization in forge.

On another note, I remember first playing blood gulch when I was just an eeny weeney 11 year old Multi (if you can picture that, do so). I've been waiting a long time for it to be brought back, and it finally has been. Excuse me while I go punch a baby out of joy.

Oh, and Monty Oum is gonna need to make new character models for Reach. I doubt anyone here knows what I'm talking about though....

[Master Debayter]

Hey guys, check your apperance on Halo 3. We got new armor!!!! :thumbup:

[RPAL]

You guys know that the whole reason blood gulch hasn't come back. With the original Blood Gulch, you couldn't abuse anything do to how old the game was and how the weapons worked with lines of sight. Valhalla was basicly blood gulch made for Halo 3, the hill in the middle stopped abuse do to the new lines of sight and weapons in Halo 3. This will be the same. The middle part when he is standing on the cliff looks like the middle of Valhalla.

At the very end he gets shot by a scorpion in one of the bases, this means its either more like the shape of avalanche (Hes standing on the center where you cant get to on avalanche) or the area in the middle is doubled (And hes standing on the side of the map).

the following is from Ken Taya's Twitter account (http://twitter.com/Ken_Taya) thought it was pretty funny, and relevant enough to post.




Nice work RvB! What do you think of the new armor ability? 10:24 AM Jul 7th via TweetDeck



That armor ability is my favorite one. Hilarity sometimes happen: send Hologram off a cliff your team mate follows him off for suicide. 10:34 AM Jul 7th via TweetDeck



Hologram is a very nice decoy! 10:35 AM Jul 7th via TweetDeck



Hologram fools both teams sometimes. Another example u think u have ur battle bro alongside of u during a charge... Wednesday, July 07, 2010 9:38:39 AM via TweetDeck



@EmpressCortana it works. Also gives away position of sniper for you. It's like a poor man's covering fire option....? Wednesday, July 07, 2010 9:57:32 AM via TweetDeck in reply to EmpressCortana



Hologram: point cursor & deploy, it will stop at the cursor. It has a finite life. Ask @Josh_Hamrick how I used it to decieve him. Wednesday, July 07, 2010 11:35:28 AM via TweetDeck



I will deploy my Hologram on my work chair today. Wednesday, July 07, 2010 11:36:50 AM via TweetDeck



I will deploy my Hologram on my work chair today. The previous tweet brought to you by my Hologram. This is the real tweet. Wednesday, July 07, 2010 11:39:42 AM via TweetDeck

Wanna see a secret?:

Here is how we get outside the canyon:

Ideas:

Wall is forgeable.
This is part of invasion where an objective is to destroy the wall.
Wall can be toggled.

[ShortkidPena]

The guy on top of the canyon has the yellow pack on his back which is the hologram AA, so you can get up to the top of the map without jetpack. I'll just leave this (http://www.xforgery.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8541) here.

Also, its easy to see the cape/ghille thing draped over the shoulders of the wearer of the hologram.

[GOG TOXIC]

I suspect that we will all get flaming armour for a day and then have the fires extinguished the next day. How do I know this? Because it already happened.

[LastRideFTW]

15000 microsoft points says they let us use flaming recon for a day ;).
