depends on how good the beta is
ama gets it cause ama likez it!
It depends on what they do with it.
Don't get me wrong, the more Halo games the better!  However, this doesn't really look like Halo right now.
The dulled out colours (Reach looks like...well.....it doesn't look good  ), the emphasis on a darker and grittier story...it seems like they're going for a CoD feeling.NO! STICK to the Halo formula, PLEASE!
One thing-if Grunts/Unggoy no longer talk English, and no longer have their ridiculously awesome lines, I'm walking until the next Halo game comes out! 
Maybe if they would bring Halo back to the PC I would consider it.

| | The End Of An Era. - Official
Posted by: SuperSmeg on 02-05-2010 @ 17:25 - Source: Bungie and Microsoft | | | This News Item has been viewed 296 times! | Halo 2 News | Today, Microsoft announced that Xbox Live support for original Xbox games will cease on April 15th 2010.
What this means is, there is only 10 weeks left before multiplayer functions on ALL original Xbox games and consoles, including Halo 2, will be discontinued.
What this means in laymens terms is:
No more Halo 2 multiplayer on Xbox Live. If you want to continue to play multiplayer on Halo 2, you would either have to use the System Link option or get Halo 2 Vista on the PC.
All four DLC map packs for Halo 2 will also not be avaliable after the service is discontinued. You would either have to keep them on your hard-drive indefinatly or buy the map packs on the disc, which is very hard to get these days.
At this point, it is unknown whether or not it will affect title updates or backwards compatibility patches that start to download when you put an original Xbox game in a Xbox 360.
It doesn't matter if you play original Xbox multiplayer games on the original console or the 360 through backwards compatibility. It will not work as of April 15th 2010.
With that said, will someone please remake Desolation and Tombstone for Halo 2 Vista? These were my favourite maps from the console version but they were not included in the PC version.

they should have done it, hell if they did it and showed it to public this year then it would compete against the movie avatar.
Normally, I would say no to a Halo film  This is simply because I love Halo way too much to subject it to the unspeakable horrors of video-game movie standards/directors. Most, if not ALL, video game movies are just....unspeakable.....
HOWEVER.....
They TOTALLY should have done a Halo film with Neil Blomkap and, more importantly, Peter Jackson. Peter Jackson is, like many famous people,a BIIIIIIG Halo fan, and if you're passionate about something you do a better job! Not to mention that every single film he makes turns into a goldmine, with awesome ratings to boot!
A Halo film under the direction of these two masterminds of cinema would have made 2009 a year to remember in the film world!
I'm not sure if what's on youtube is true, but there's like the first eight minutes of the would be movie on youtube, if that's true that movie would kick @$$! I would love to see a Halo movie, full length and live action, no cartoon or CGI crap.
yeah, they should have done the halo movie instead of making legends, I mean halo+anime? it just doesn't add up.

It wasn't very detailed and it portrayed the forerunners as idiots. Who sends a ground team to a planet to fight the flood?
It's was mediocre at best
Halo: Legends got stupid again. I thought it would be better after The Package.
The Package was the best episode by far.

| | Halo: Evolutions, latest Halo novel - Halo
Posted by: SuperSmeg on 01-07-2010 @ 18:39 - Source: Kotaku http://kotaku.com/5390987/whos-who-in-halo | | | This News Item has been viewed 1988 times! | Halo News | This is about two months late, but as they say, better late than never!
Halo: Evolutions is the latest novel in the Halo series, however it differs from the rest in that it's not just one novel with one writer, it's a mash-up of 16 short stories by 12 authors, including Eric Nylund, Tobias Buckell, and Frank O'Connor. While not based around any of the main Halo characters, this book does a decent job of expanding our knowledge of the Halo universe, including characters from the SPARTAN-III project, never-before-seen SpecOps squads of SPARTAN-II's and Covenant, and stories from the survivors of Halo, to name a few.
Any Halo fans who've missed this, I highly suggest you go browse your local bookstore and pick up a copy, you won't be disappointed!
Thanks to Lazarus for this news.

I have one extremely important question for Bungie, one that I think needs answering ASAP.....here we go.....
WHY MUST IT TAKE SO LONG TO COME OUT!?!??!
Perfection incarnate. Or, near perfection-it would be even better to see some of the original Halo trilogy cast that was at Reach, like John-117, Captain Keyes (Cortana....in shiny new graphics....mmmmm)
cmon ppl dont u get bored playing as a sweaty guy in a suit
#3-what?
No offense intended, but that's just a really, REALLY wierd question to ask about games! That's like asking, "Don't you get bored of killing people in these games?" I don't!
Besides, a lot of FPS fighters wear big suits. In fact, last time I checked, EVERY soldier goes into a battle with some suit on. Nobody strolls onto battle naked!  Well...I hope not, anyway.
Admittedly, it may be cool to one day play a UNSC Marine in a game...if you're referring to a full body suit (because they don't wear FULL body suits), but more Halo? I'm not complaining!

Posted by: SuperSmeg on 12-19-2009 @ 16:29 - Source: Me :0) | | | This News Item has been viewed 3831 times! | Halo 2 News | Hey peeps.
Just wanted to let everyone know that my PC is out of commision for gaming at the moment (December seems to be the 'blue screen of death' month for me, regardless of which PC I am using or however old a PC is).
Summary:
Halo 2 Vista wont run without giving a blue screen. Halo CE wont run without giving a blue screen. None of my games will run without giving a blue screen. I get a blue screen randomly each day, regardless of what the PC is doing.
For the most part, I have no problems with POTDs or news posting or comment moderating or poll posting.
So, to lighten the load, I'll be taking care of these aspects for a bit, while Uwsar may want to take on file reviews for some time, just untill everything is okay.
I just need to hear from Uwsar if he agrees on this.
I am not leaving the site. You wont get rid of me that easily.
To finish up:
Keep enjoying gaming in all the Halo games. Score a few headshots for me in Halo CE and Halo 2. But, I'll see you on the Halo 3 battlefield.
Peace. We out, bro!

Okay, for some reason 343 decided to edit 'The Package Pt.1' to include the second half of the episode. I'm left wondering why only half the episode was released last week then.
Anyway, the extra few minutes on 'The Package' this week we're quite good.
I think I'm changing my mind about this Halo cartoon. I enjoyed it if they can keep the same art style then I'll by the DVD when it comes out.

There getting better...I must admit.
Too short
Seriously, that was made of some serious, SERIOUS win! Those Booster frames PWNED the Covenant, and it was AWESOME seeing some of the familiar SPARTANS-Kelly, Frederic, and most importantly....
John-117!
Some may disagree, or write off the rest of Halo Legends-I respect that opinion. After all, we're all Halo fans. However, I just had to get my thoughts in.
Easily the best of the bunch 
I think the problem is that people are watching them because they're halo, and expecting to see what they imagine to be halo. Thats probably why some people don't like them as much as others. You have to watch it as an anime, not a halo thing. It comes around as a damn good anime rather than a stupid halo animation.

but on heroic it's really quite epic. i always wanted more levels like it in the halo series.
I found it really easy on Legendary difficulty to be honest.

Posted by: UwsarHatAnupuw on 11-28-2009 @ 21:41 - Source: http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=23853 | | | This News Item has been viewed 5463 times! | Halo News | Word on the tweets this week is that Spike VGA viewers will get a sneak peek of Halo: Reach with the debut of an exclusive, world premiere video from the opening of the game. For all you first time visitors, Halo: Reach is an all-new prequel to the massively popular Halo trilogy from developer Bungie (that's us) which launches in the fall of 2010, exclusively on the Xbox 360!
I so stole that from the official press release, but marketing aside, it’s the honest truth – we are massively popular. And you’ve probably already put two and two together and figured out that this inbound sneak peek is part of the reason why we went dark on the Reach front over the past few weeks.
I’d love to have been blabbering on and on like a lunatic about all the crazy new hotness I saw splashed up just about every screen throughout the studio these last few weeks (‘sup animators and special effectors, can I haz your babies?), but I didn’t need to be told to let the team stay locked in and focused on completing their primary mission objective. It's implied. And I ain’t dumb or crazy enough to get all up in their business right now. The last thing you or anybody else wants to see in the update are actions shots of me with Marcus’ boot lodged straight up my ass.
But don’t worry—you’ll lay eyes on Reach soon enough. Twenty-two days from now to be precise. December 12th, 2009.
Oh, and two and two makes four. I asked an engineer.

I actually sort of liked this episode. Hiroshi Yamazaki and Mamoru Oshii gave us a good continuation to the Arbiter after the events of Halo 3, showing the internal ongoing conflict in the Covenant ranks.
They tried too hard to be artistic with the animation, which, unfortunatly, didn't end with a good result in my honest opinion. I was not a fan of the style used.
Definitely better than 'The Babysitter' though.
PS: I'll be doing polls for each episode. Provided of course, that Uwsar doesn't have a problem with me doing them, lol. 
Go right ahead I care not
its kinda sad. it was funny wen the grunt said hes a demon! slice
sad but the arbiter must face death.

drones, cos i've heard i can be REALLY annoying
Grunts cause theyre funny, and so am i!
Hunters. They are MASSIVE and they can take anything. they will wreck anything that comes near them. hunter pwns elite any day.
ya but hunters are tons of worms with armor intigrated into their skin. Bleck lol
Sangheili or Yanme'e.
Sangheili because they're big, tall, buff, intelligent, and just plain awesome! (only disadvantage-how would you eat anything!?! )
Yanme'e for a very simple reason: I CAN FLY!
It's more or less a toss up between those two species in my opinion.

The episodes of Halo: Legends are only avaliable on Saturdays and for just 24 hours in the Halo Waypoint app for Xbox Live.
They are going to be on DVD and Blu-Ray next year. Although, I don't see why anyone would buy them on DVD or Blu-Ray since the first episode had so much fail in it.

it was replaced by the "your face"
Pistol, then Shotgun, then Rocket launcher, then Sniper... yeah, I'm quite a CQC typed player...
And on the others Halo, also a little Sword is always welcome (but I'm a halo player).
needler or plasma rifle
SMGs.
John Woo style for life!
Pistol, but only if it's the Halo 1 version. If not, then the Battle Rifle, which is pretty much the replacement for the Halo 1 pistol.
SMG, never fails (except against someone moderately far away with a needler).
