Bungie Plans Goodbye for Halo 2 LIVE

Posted By: Razer @ 05 February 2010 - 09:39 PM

With the news that Microsoft is going to stop supporting LIVE services for the original Xbox and games, Bungie has responded by thanking fans for their support, and planning a goodby to Halo 2 on April 14th. LIVE services will be discontinued on April 15th, so it will be a last chance for everybody to get a few more games in before it's over.

Quote

We're all saddened at the realization that an era is coming to an end but looking back, we're incredibly fortunate to have had such a great run and such strong support from our fans. Halo 2 has been at or near the top of the Xbox LIVE charts for original games since it launched over five years ago. We're extremely thankful to everyone who has played, enjoyed and supported Halo 2 over Xbox LIVE. We've had some great fun together, including far too many humpday losses to even recount.

That said, mark your calendars now - on April 14th let's all rally to go online for one last hoorah. One final farewell and one final opportunity for all of you to kick our asses at Halo 2.

As can be expected, any time new media are released for a highly anticipated game, you're going to get lots of people speculating about the game. Well, this weeks update is Halo: Reach Mythbusters. Bungie laid the smack down on all those speculatin' fools. On top of that, Bungie released some beautiful sound bytes of a handful of weapons including the Assault Rifle, the DMR, the Sniper Rifle, the frag grenade, the plasma grenade, and a mystery weapon. Check out the full update at Bungie.

Halo: Reach - Point of Impact

Posted By: Phil @ 28 January 2010 - 03:30 PM

Bungie continues to tease us with their latest post, Halo: Reach - Point of Impact, in which urk sheds a little light on some of the weapons we will be using in Halo: Reach. The first rifle urk mentions, the Assault Rifle, is no stranger to these lands. Making a presence in Halo 1 and then making a return in Halo 3, the Assault Rifle will be making an appearance in Halo: Reach as well. Sage, the project's lead sandbox design noted that: "Returning weapons will, for the most part, maintain their classic roles and generally feel the same." Next up is the Designated Marksman Rifle, or DMR, which bears resemblance to the Battle Rifle. The DMR will be playing a role similar to that of the pistol in Halo: Combat Evolved. Last but not least, the Needle Rifle is similar to the familiar Covenant Carbine in previous Halos. Just as the Covenant Carbine was the answer to the UNSC Battle Rifle, the Needle Rifle is the Covenant answer to the UNSC DMR. Make sure to check out the full post to get all the details.

Edit: And the icing on the cake, Bungie updated their renders page. From the looks of it, the Sniper Rifle, Plasma Pistol, and Covenant Dropship from Halo: Combat Evolved, will be making a return.

Halo: Reach Artwork, Noble Team, and Media

Posted By: Phil @ 26 January 2010 - 09:10 PM

As Halo: Reach gets closer to being released this Fall 2010, Bungie has been teasing us with more information the game.
First, there's the matter of Noble Team. In Halo: Reach, we'll be playing as Noble 6 - someone we know little about, and that's probably the way Bungie will keep it. For those of you who played Halo 3: ODST, you may remember that we knew little about the Rookie. The idea behind this is that by revealing less, users use their imagination and put themselves in that position. Instead of Noble 6 or the Rookie being just another character, you make them you. That character is merely a vehicle to deliver the story to you.
Second, is the evolution of Halo weapons, vehicles, and characters. The Assault Rifle, the Warthog, Grunts, and other objects in the game are getting upgrades. Check out the link to see the evolution from Halo 1 to Reach.
Finally, check out Bungie's Halo: Reach media page to see all their new media. Between now and when the game drops later this year, there will probably be an onslaught of media, so as of this posting, there are new screenshots, concept art, and previously-mentioned intel.

Design a Halo Emblem: Have it Featured in Halo: Reach

Posted By: Phil @ 22 January 2010 - 09:23 PM

Although Bungie didn't give us a whole lot of information in their most recent update, they did let us know that they will be having another emblem contest, similar to the one we saw for Halo 3. The rules?
* Your emblem must consist of only two colors.
* Your emblem must be able to be identified if the secondary portion is toggled off.
* Your emblem must look good when it’s tiny.
* Your emblem must be original art. Do NOT copy anything. All entries that look remotely like other logos or corporate images will be rejected. Same goes for National flags.
* Your emblem must be submitted between 12:01AM PST on January 22, 2010 and 11:59PM PST on February 5, 2010.
* Nothing offensive. Nothing rude, racist, icky, or otherwise stupidly ridonkulous.

On top of those rules, make sure to keep a few more things in mind:
You must live in the USA or Canada (sorry rest of the world, you don't matter, because America and America's hat are where it's at!)
Your emblem must be 256x256 pixels in either gif or jpeg format.
Filesize is not to exceed 128 kb.
Email submissions to septagon[at]bungie[dot]com with the title: "Halo: Reach Emblem Contest Submission."

For a list of the full rules, check them out here, otherwise read Bungie's full update here.

Database Debugging

Posted By: Phil @ 21 January 2010 - 09:42 PM

Earlier today, some of you may have noticed that our server was down. It appears that after going live again, the database was somehow affected, and now some people can't post. Be aware, that this is not any sort of punishment. The database is not working properly and we are working quickly to try to resolve it. Thank you for your patience.

Edit: All members should be able to post now. Everything else (post times, etc.) should sort out within the next five hours.
