Intel / Bungie Reach Panel @ PAX

« on: September 05, 2010, 19:45:20 »

Nice panel discussion from Bungie about Reach's development.  Minor spoilers, but nothing beyond the trailers and BWU (there's also a video of early cinematics in the 4th section that I skipped, assume more story spoilers there).

Parts 1-4:

The link is on the halo.bungie.org front page.  They're also discussing in their forums.

Halo Reach General Discussion / Re: GameStop's Employee Launch Kit

« on: September 01, 2010, 07:11:09 »

The only employee I have ever encountered at my local Gamestop is the pushiest salesman-nerd I've ever met.  He always aggressively pushes pre-order of like 8 games whenever I go to buy one.

I want your friendly folk.

I mean I tried to put in my birthday as 6/11/2526, so that I'd be my "actual age" for the Battle of Reach.

A 500 year old warrior isn't very helpful.

RememberReach won't allow me to put in my birth date as if I was my current age when Reach falls!

Another new website is up, prepareforreach.ca.  On it you can take a quiz to see which member of Noble Team you are.

There is also a timeline of the events on Reach(which unfortunately flashes by very quickly, and has way to scroll backward) which places the first Covenant activity around 7.15.2552. 

PS:  I'm apparently Kat.

A possible but unlikely solution to time discrepancies: all the shorts take place well before Halo: Reach.

On the Remember Reach website they have the complete versions of each of the vignettes: The Couple, The Family, The Soldiers (though strangely, not The Balloon).  

In The Soldiers the three men discuss how that morning Noble Team was fighting Insurgents, not the Covenant.  

Also on Remember Reach, they have the Deliver Hope (ps: does that remind anyone else of Foehammer?) video also.  Bungie has stated that the events depicted did not occur during the timeline of Halo: Reach.

But we should also remember Bungie's guide to canon:

In conclusion then the canon can be summarised as follows:

- The games rank first
- Published materials (books, comics, soundtrack liner notes etc.) rank second
- Marketing and PR materials third

It can't be after GOO because she's trapped in the center of the Shieldworld at the end right?  I am pretty sure this ViDoc is Halsey talking to Auntie Dot about which Spartan she(Auntie Dot) is choosing to save her from the Fortress on Reach.

She refers to Noble 6 as having a "Very Deadly" rating, which only one other Spartan has (presumably the Chief).  I think that this scene is Halsey seeking a transporter for Auntie Dot and Noble Team happens to be the closest group of Spartans.  Halsey then goes through all the members of Noble Team and settles on 6, when Auntie Dot chooses Noble 6 to be her carrier.

Halo Reach General Discussion / Re: What AA will YOU use?

I love sprint too much to not use it.

I would have actually chosen the jetpack but Bumper Jumper makes it impossible to aim while jetting.

Waypoint version also available, but its the edited trailer not the first-person demo.

Dogfights look wicked fun, so many people are already whining though!

Ironic that I'm learning about Hinduism in my Eastern Religions class at this very moment?
