It was just announced that Microsoft will be increasing the regular Xbox Live subscription cost by 20% to $59.99/year starting on November 1, 2010. If you renew before then, you can avoid the increase for another year. I previously posted a special at Amazon.com for just $34.99 which I still think is the most efficient way of renewing your subscription. That special is over, but it's worthwhile to keep your eyes open for sales like that.
I am out of town traveling, but can host clan night for those that want to log on later at 10pm. We had some good sack action last week, may be our choice of playlists until Reach Falls.
Showing another Forged map, this a multi-bomb versus game. The Cage is the historical predecessor to Lockout/Blackout.
Showing off a Firefight variant called Skeet Shoot. This is a custom gametype that was made for the purposes of the video where everyone gets unlimited ammo sniper guns, and waves drop Heretic Elite Snipers. Bungie has previously said that Elites only appear in Firefight when they are human controlled, so unclear if this is a contradiction or there are actually that many human opponents. Video also showcases impressive no-scope sniping.
Indoor Wraiths, Bubble Shield ability, Human controlled Elites, female Spartan voice, Hunters. All very interesting. This map feels very Halo 1.
Noble 3 has the long gun, Noble 4 has the sweet helmet, Noble 5 has the chaingun, and Noble 6 is Hyper-Lethal. I can't decide.
Have the clips of Reach gotten you excited? Less than one month away!
I get that this is supposed to be an example of what you can do in Forge 2.0, but did these guys make ANY new maps?
Amazon.com is offering a $20 credit on a future video game purchase if you pre-order Halo Reach. It comes with free shipping, but generally takes 1-2 weeks if you go that route.
Compare this to GameStop's pre-order bonus of a special armor variant and a chance to win a life size Spartan. Many GameStops are also offering midnight pickups on September 14.
Pre-ordering anywhere will unlock the Recon helmet pre-order bonus.
Clan nights will more regularly start at 9pm now. Hopefully this helps to consolidate attendance.
Was just announced today that you can make your own Fable III villager that you can activate in-game. Honestly, I tried out the character builder, and it's not all that compelling. But it's an interesting little tidbit nevertheless.
