Ooops. I may have already told everybody about it.

They'll be a little annoyed when they realise it's another 2 months away.

Heh, I thought March 3rd too. After seeing those videos, I'm pumped. I can't get over how beautiful it is!

The loadouts are a little worrysome, but it looks like it may only apply to armor varients. Perhaps there are also ways to change your armor, as in the Battlefield games (but not necessarily by killing people). As for weapons, I'm sure that if they did decide to put them in with loadouts, they also gave players the ability to play with weapons scattered about as well. I don't see Bungie following in Infinity Ward's footsteps, though.

I can't wait.

The loadouts only apply to the armor abilities.

The only thing that worries me is the assassination thing... Makes you vulnerable when you do a bad ass move on someone, it locks you and makes you a easy kill or the target for a assassination. Sure its cool but i'd rather have the normal whack to back stuff.

There's probably more to it then that.

Hold B for assassination thing.
Tab B for quick kill.

I'd use the jet pack only so I could shout "Take to the skies brothers!"

**CivBase** · by **CivBase** on Thu Mar 04, 2010 11:13 pm

Suppose the jetpack thing means they're bringing back elite rangers?

Or maybe jetpacks just kick ass and is enough justification to put them in?

Well civ, those jetpacks were of human orgin.

That and MP is non-canon.

Well, they do have a Spartans vs. Elites mode. I always wanted that.

Looks like they upgraded Firefight into invasion.

Oh and I seen no reason why Elite Rangers aren't in Reach.

I don't think so, they make the same exact noise as the Brute jetpack.

But then again, it might be, as that build seemed to have a lot of H3 material/sounds still in even before the first VidDoc. I guess it wouldn't make much sense for a Spartan being able to strap a alien jet engine on his back.
