Since it's FFA, can you nab Overkill, Two for One, and Killing Frenzy in it, like with Legendary Brawl?
i caved and watched the opening cinematic + first part of the first level
holy fucking shit is this game beautiful. really digging the idea of running into civilians throughout the game and seeing the battle from their perspective.
the wildlife is a nice touch, bet you they'll pull the old "SOMETHINGS BEHIND THIS DOOR" and when they kick it in birds fly out or some shit.
Man, I haven't played Halo in, what feels like, over a year and Reach is coming in about a month. Time to bring out the ODST H3 disc! Besides, I still haven't played the latest DLC and would like to get some achievements for Halo Waypoint.
edit: also, do any of you still play firefight? i haven't played that at all
If I can get my Xbox working we should play some firefights soon. I need Endure and about half of the 200k achievements.
Is someone still actively managing the "A TBK Clan" gamertag? I need to get on that list. All of these awesomely epic campaign runs sound like a ton of fun. I've been trying to clean up my backlog of games before Reach, but I would love to play with TBK. My gamertag is LunaticPuma if anyone wants to add me for MP/Firefight/Campaign fun.
I like how the site has this huge warning about watching HD and making sure you have enough bandwidth, and then sits there with "waiting for website" for 5 minutes.
But it doesn't stop there. Each month in Reach, a new Arena "Season" will start. To get a Daily Rating, you must play at least 3 games. Get enough Daily games and you'll recieve a Weekly Rating and a Divisional placement of Steel, Bronze, Silver, Gold or Onyx. At the end of the season, the game will tell you your standing in your division and will add your final Season standing to your "baseball card" of stats. The next season, you start fresh.
Does that mean you'll get penalized for not playing everyday? You can't just play 21 games a week?
I don't think you need 3 games every day, just X amount of games a week. Frankly if you can't manage 21 games of Halo in the span of a week you shouldn't be worrying about your hardcore rating.
IIRC You don't need to play 3 games every day of the week to get the weekly rating, I'm pretty sure it was 3 days of daily ratings to get your weekly

Arena games are Slayer only. They go quick regardless.

Weird question but do we know how much HDD space Reach is going to take up?

Also, this part is concerning and I don't quite understand why it's this way
New update: It is unable to use the total 250GB capacity if you plug the 250GB Hard Disk Drive Module directly in your Xbox 360 host. To use the whole capacity, please use a USB Hard-Drive Transfer Cable to connect the host with your PC. (Cable not included, if you like to purchase, please refer to below SKUs: 26392 31901 31900 27798 27797) ***Manufacturer claimed***
Keep in mind that that's a third party HDD made to look legit. There's no guarantees that it's going to work correctly, at all, or not alert the Microsoft kill teams.

Your best bet at this point is one more Mythic Brawl or one more Ranked Living Dead

The Rocket hog in action. It does spin 360 degrees and fires 6 rockets at a time but hella inaccurate.

Clearly they aren't ready for HD.
True but fuck, rocket race with hog and mongoose....EPIC
But..But it is....
I'm ratified by an independent third party.
@gamefacts - Totally and utterly true gaming facts on the regular!
I still need a lot of the 200K ones as well.

the review copy available for download via code for the press is around 8 gigs iirc
I predict you will need more than that if Forge World explodes like I think it will.
No sir. I will not. That's fyres job.
I'd buy a 250 gig HDD for $55 instead

Forged maps and saved films, take a tiny, tiny amount of space on a hard drive. I'm taking 176kb for maps, 5-10mb for films.
When does this end?
No idea but gizmodo posted it on their gadget deals of the day and people tend to hit those hard.
