Big gooba fish

Hi podtacular it’s the big gooba fish again. This is my random frag for the week. Today I was thinking about halo reach and I thought that bungie might be able to incorperate a skills system for the multiplayer. Something like: gaining points and saving them up to upgrade your Spartan with increased speed or strength, speed could improve your movement pace and strength could improve your grenaid throw distance and heavy weapon mobility. This is a multiplayer function that I think would work well and add a new element to the halo formula. I might get angrily typed at for saying it but I think it would be fun, an rpg element in a mostly shooting game? Borderlands did it… Mw2 did it… I dont see how halo reach couldn’t.
Also… Last episode you said you couldn’t email me. Well here’s my email adress (sawsta@hotmail.com) keep on fragging trucks that have a power level of over 9000!!!!.

Submissions

Chickenfoot

Hey! Long time no see! It’s chickenfoot here for a newsage on Reach, first, on the opening scene with the Warthog, it looked really anime-like, but no, this has a pimped out same Halo look. Just sayin’, the guy with the skeleton helmet is FREAKY!!! But looks fun, also, all of the Spartans look individual and interesting with their own stories to tell, hopefully, we get to see some Fillion-action because he survived Reach!
Keep on fraggin’ Podtac knockoffs cough Real 7alk, just jokin’ Shoutout to my Homie Skillets!

thatlolguy

First off I would like to say that I’m definately digging the new music that’s playing in the trailer. Secondly from an image that has been revealed on the Reach project page, it looks like the Halo: CE pistol is back… Will it be able to take down Banshees in less then a clip… I dunno… But it would be freakin awesome if it could. Thirdly; much of the stuff gives speculation as to what’s in the multi-player. Such as the armour permutations, additional artwork or emblems for different parts of your body, the ability to remove the helmet. These are all assumptions of course. And lastly I have gathered from the trailer that the character that you play as is going to be named Lone Wolf. I hope he talks though as I don’t want Bungie to give us the old dog… With old tricks. And the Elite at the end… I’m assuming that we’re gonna be fighting them again… WOOT! Shout outs to Bungie for not making us wait until E3 010. Keep fragging whoever made the girl spartan loose her arm… It was probably naynay… dah nuhh…

BlackHeli007

Hey guys, its BlackHeli with a couple of thoughts on the Halo Reach world premier trailer.

Graphics look great, I hope that’s exactly what the game looks like when it’s released. New armor looks freakin sweet, can’t wait to see what kind of new badass version of recon Bungie has cooked up. You guys think there might be customizable classes?? In the trailer one of the Spartans said “I’m glad to have your skill set, but you can leave the lone wolf stuff behind.” does this mean anything? Anyway, I’m super pumped up for the beta, it couldn’t come any sooner.

tylerthet3

Hello, fellow members of Podtacular. This is tylerthet3 submitting today.

Halo: Reach looks like it won’t have Blue Team (John and Fred’s Team) in it. Instead, it will have Noble Team with characters never before mentioned in the Halo Universe. Some of the characters include Kat and Jorge. The Spartans look very bulky and fundamentally different compared to John 117. It vaguely reminds me of Mark IV/V armor. It also seems like the Halo: Reach Beta will come out in Spring 2010. I know Bungie will create another amazing installment in the Halo series for Fall 2010.

Shout-outs to Dust Storm, GLewis, and ChuckieJ. Keep on truckin’ frags.

razza 119

waz up podtac its yor boy here the 1 and only razza 119 and i just wanted too say reach looks SWEET the guy with the skull helmet looks kinda freaky and the trailer looked like a cutscene from the game.

noobsmasher48

Hi podtacular this the one and only smasher of noobs! I would just like to say that reach is going
to be a very fun game to play. I can’t wait untill
it comes out! Keep on fraggin trucks

P.S. This is my first submission

XXXDeathAbovus

Hey Podtac, it is me the only person from hell above the earth. i think Reach will have a little bits and pieces of Call of Duty with customization and some parts won’t. I think to keep it within Halo’s multiplayer they should allow you to customize weapons but youy don’t have to unlock weapons and no classes. Like if every1 started with a BR you could have an attachment thats it. Don’t be messing with Halo’s epitimy of epic multiplayer. Keep on fragging Brent for saying my submission ws “invalid” and any1 that gets in my way.

PunxsatownyPhil

Hey guys, it’s PunxsatownyPhil here again. Question: When does the beta come out? The spring, right? I’m interested in that needler-rifle type thing I saw in a video. That’s all I have to say. Bye.

iSnowKone

Hello people of podtacular long time listener late grats on 200 ep and fist time submission for an episode I believe. Well I’ve been wonderring , wouldn’t it be interesting if some of the units from Halo Wars appeared in Reach after all it’s the main UNSC millitary base planet in the halo universe. If I am correct. It would be awsome if a Cyclops (Mech Suit) appeared if not beat the living shite out of some Elites. Speaking of the Elites look like the Elites in Halo Wars (more vishuse) Deffinently more custum armor and personality into the Spartans. And Halo will dominate the online multiplayer. Suck it Modern Warfare 2. At quite a long submission I have many more oppinions on Halo Reach but I will leave it at that and sorry if my Grama (Grammer) sucked Flood Ballz keep up with the great work Happy New Year and may you keep fragging through 2010.

Matt

Did you guys hear that bungie might release a new armor when halo reach comes out! This is just a rumor I overheard in the bungie forums.I highly think there won’t be a new armor but some people think there will be
