Also it appears that in Norway, military service of a period of nineteen months is mandatory between 18 and a half and 44, so he didn't technically 'enlist'. Although I guess those nineteen months will be up soon.
EDIT: We need a new thread soon. Who's got dibs?

I don't know if this has been mentioned, but if Halo: Reach had an invasion mode where the first tier was Spartans in space fighters trying to take down the shields of a Covvy space station, the second tier landing to steal something, and the third tier making it back to the ships...
well I'll tell you that I'll never stop playing Reach.

Objoective-based Halo MP would get me to play Halo MP.
Though I'm still not sure I could stand the constant teabagging everywhere.

Once the team fought its way into the UNSC base, it was on to the Saber for some in flight entertainment. This new vehicle is a multi-stage rocket that brings your Spartan up into orbit above Reach. If you play four player co-op, all team members will get their own Saber to pilot for a gigantic space battle.
The Spartans job here is to defend the Anchor base, which is already in shambles. Banshees go down quickly with some machine gun fire and the shields on the Saber seemed more than capable of absorbing a few shots (The heads-up display shows both shield and hull strength, as well as thruster heat). If not, the Saber can also do quick 180 degree flips, barrel rolls, and side dodges. As the battle raged, I noticed that some of the scrap floating around could be bumped and blasted to start it moving -- the battlefield looks like it will slightly evolve as things progress.
Once the Seraphs arrived, it was time to break out the big guns. Sabers also have missiles that can lock onto enemy ships and then tear them to bits. I'm sure you're thinking what I am right now. These Sabers could be awesome in competitive multiplayer. Unfortunately, Bungie wouldn't talk about any possible new competitive modes these vehicles could be included in.

During the fight you could see Armor Abilities in use, executions on Elites and Grunts (the Grunt executions look completely hilarious), and a new Covenant weapon called the Concussion Rifle. That puppy is a bit like a grenade launcher, only it spits out your rage in plasma form.

So did you play Invasion during the Beta, or...?
I didn't have my Live subscrition active till near the end of it, and by that time, I was playing RDR.
I take it Invasion was good? Something people will actually play consistently? Or is it going to be a curiosity that lasts for a little while and then everyone goes back to CTF / DM?

Are you not familiar with Halo 3's Matchmaking, at all?

I was way back in the day when Halo 3 first came out. I don't think I've touched the game in 2 years though, so I'm sure it's massively different than what it was in '08.
and oh my god did you see the size of that fucking hunter?
It actually looked normal-sized to me. SIIIs are a bit smaller, and I remember them looking rather imposing in ODST. They look much more dangerous with the graphical upgrade at least.

It's hard to tell because of the low quality and because he is standing on a ramp.. but they look bigger to me
In that video he mentioned that you can pick what enemies you fight (all hunter firefight, YES) and what weapons are on the map. He said that you can use custom skulls (the effect) and when they get put in use. I'm assuming that you can pick when the regular skulls spawn too. Hopefully there is a random option. Also, you will be able to "put them online to share". It really sounds like a forge for firefight. I'm just going to assume that there will be MLG PRO firefight maps with no skulls and DMR/Magnum only.

Kat's on the far right in the group photo
Female Six just has really thin arms. That's why she kind of looks like Kat.
Also: I am finding any possible way to get the new 360 - I am still on an old, white 20GB.
S043, You heard that the new slimmer 360 with 250gb and wifi-n is going to be 299.99 Right?
I'll be back in "action" soon, I hope you all will be kind enough to allow me the privilege of playing a few rounds with you all.
I have a quick question: Has anyone seen or heard from Yorker in the past several months?

I'd say that's a safe assumption.
it's from a video, hence the quality

Also, the thing on G4 in a few minutes will be Reach's firefight mode.

Halo 3 style bubble shield thingy (that heals)
Someone from ODST makes a cameo appearance
Human target designator thingy... mortar strike looking thing
Also, matchmaking for firefight (meh)
but seriously this shit is awesome
I think an Elite fired that during the MS stage demo. Looks neat, but I'd like to know where it fits in the sandbox.

apparently you can even make custom skulls?
