Where once I'd written if off with HALO fatigue... they have one again gotten my interest.

Points off for it being prequel crap.

Hey the novel is pretty good though.

I'm a little dissuaded though by the fact that the Assault Rifle has 600 shots. Kind of shows the possible difficulty of the game.

I'm reading the novel, and it is pretty good. But I have a HUGE thing against prequels. I don't like knowing the end of a story and it give a feeling of a destiny already being set. I like the illusion of forging my own.

You guys see the latest Vi-Doc of the game, I think I've just been sold, and on the technical capabilties alone, it was a behind the scenes video of the game in the making, they talk alot of how they want to capture the feel of the first game.

They also showcased a lot of what the new engine could handle, character models from previous games when compared to the REACH models look so bland and have been mocapped for more realistic movement :3

There is also a viking on the development team.

That's what you're doing in the REACH game, since they decided to not follow the novel for the Game's storyline.

Ahh that sounds awesome, I've never read the novels but thought that it could ruin the games for some people, but that's pretty cool.

On another halo related note: I watched halo legends earlier and it reminded me how much more I want to hear about the halo universe XD

But you do not know the end of their personal story. Much like ODST.

He's referring to the grand scheme of things, not the personal story of the characters.

For example:
[HIDE]We already know Covenant are coming to Reach and Reach is going to get royally fucked. You see the **** coming towards the fan miles away. And there's nothing you, the player, can do about it. But we don't know whats going to happen to your player characters[/HIDE].

Ahh hummm I guess that is a problem, since even I knew that reach would be totally fucked, but then again I usually don't mind knowing the ending if its as broad as "reach got fucked" I mean I know it got messed up but I'm really intrigued to how it happened.

Guess its a plus I never read the novels.

[HIDE]A lot more happened on Reach after the Covenant fucked over and claimed Reach towards the end of The Fall of Reach. It's not just "Covenant blew up Reach." [/HIDE]
