I WISH SOMEONE WOULD MAKE A VIDEO OF HALO 2 AND HALO REACH ON THE SAME SCREEN DOING THE SAME THING OR GOING INTO THE SAME PLACES!

Please thumbs up so people can see this.

[TheOctoJon]

wow... so they got rid of the system that worked for all play lists to be ranked and traded it for one that doesn't...

[TeahupooChan]

@TheOctoJon trueskill is hidden in the backround

[TheOctoJon]

@TeahupooChan i just learned that you can see your 1-50 level on halocartsdotcom i wonder if that actualy ranks the same as it did on halo2+3... my team arena level has been reset since last season but i don't know if the non arena levels reset ill have to monitor what happens at the end of this season

[keggie09]

:D i love this map i was sad it wasnt in halo 3

[yuginar]

ėpic mele pwn at 5:00

[tank7710]

show us a video of all of the vehicles and weapons

[ATP2555ify]

nice job wasting our time with boring speech.

[Nickle33333]

@ATP2555ify if you think hes wasting your time then why watch?

[Coreykun]

THANK GOD!

I wasn't aware there was a glitch, I thought it was just the new hitboxes.

Essentially made SWAT unplayable for me in the Beta since only 1/3 Shots to the head would register.

[kainef23]

one thing different is the Banshee not being there i played Acension 2day and there is a banshee. so when i get it ima forge it to have a banshee

[darkspineshadow12345]

wait,never mind

[heltutananledning]

IT IS FUCKING EFFECTIVE IF U R A NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOB!!!!

[slyfox453]

thanks for this footage awesome job cant wait for Reach

[DonnyDooMyseryKiller]

Ya know, that injection part of the beginning reminded me of Xmen Origins: Wolverine.

[redhawkt7]

i bet mlg players just love this one

[MightyKingGhidorah]

For gameplay click here: 2:17

[AquaS0da]

i have to close my eyes when i see those needle things go into his body and then come out slowly

[DaleStrickland]

The map looks beautiful. I'm just disappointed that the thing in the middle doesn't rotate anymore.

[CrazyKingXD]

2:17 

[4shotter]

Hey awesome video; I got filled in so much about Reach from it. I think after seeing the gameplay I'm less nervous about DMR changes from the BR Also, I heard your friend say the jump height is higher than it was in the Beta. I hope they increased it just enough so you can ninja chasers ;)

Anyway, thanks for the video. I subscribed!

[thebeat8]

idc but i am going to be playing tower of power in halo each lol thumbs up if u r to

[DESTRUCTERSMURF]

i love the new forge map forge world it looks so cool

[smopetc]

@ZaChKiLlSiNhAlO ya they did but its kind of cool and not but good and also not

[zZzmowglizZz]

at 4.40 u can see the spartan evade, hope thats in multiplayer. i know its in custom games...

[jewonabike12]

Very nice....Subed

[jakevidz1]

hey mate can i ask you a quastion right reach is coming out in 28 days and i wounded what youll be doing firest when you get it lol.....

[superunkown96]

Nice u believe there's 6 shippped naosbon the disk can u show us thenm?

[LolRoflLamoHaa]

LOL at 4:55

[emoboylovesscreamo]

i think its good that some people get the game earlier. Like bungie just testing out everything offically before the game going big but at the same time its only like 50's getting copies and everyone else getting bullshitted.

[xVeNoMPhAnToMx]

Please show gameplay of reflection or zealot if you can

[ExtantWill]

@GTIAMHIJKLM15

Oh god, I just suddenly got a bunch of bad flashbacks to being on the receiving end from a Banshee on Ascension... and also smg starts on coagulation.

I'm just going to forget those experiences.... Forget...

[BananaBean03]

whats the cuncusion rifle???

[facist7]

i love all the halo games, except halo 3, because the br was the all purpose death star gun...when bungie said in one of the vidoc's (carnage carnival?) that the y dont want to create one super weapon.......i hope the dmr isnt going to be the ultimate death bringer the br was.

either way though, reach is gonna be awesome!

[Krutchtacular]

@facist7 Halo 3 had the least powerful standard mid range spawning weapon out of H1/H2/H3.

The pistol was MUCH stronger than the H3 BR and the H2 BR had no spread, hitscan, and shot slightly faster. Not to mention button glitches.

Expect a mid range utility weapon in Reach. There has been one in every Halo game.

[Oskarmandude1]

@facist7

You hate Halo 3 because of ONE weapon?

[xVeNoMPhAnToMx]

I only have two 45's but I'm a good brig

[smopetc]

@Krutchtacular that sucks that there wont be objective in arena i loved juggernaut in lone wolves but i guess there wont be any of that in reach

[ZaChKiLlSiNhAlO]

@smopetc probably not in the competetive playlists but in the social ffa there probably will be and anyways they probably wont be relying on skill as much now for lvling since people abused it in halo :-\

[JustinKeithD]

i liked how you actually focused on legitimate gameplay problems.

i might be one of the only people to have noticed this, because it was one of the main reasons why i quit playing halo (its in ce,2, and 2) is that when you make full circles with the right thumbstick, it makes a rounded corner square, and not a circle, meaning they only utilized the directions a directional pad is capable of, but i noticed in the reach beta that it was fixed.

[Fierysasuke]

Hey krutchtacular, have u played the beta? is it better than the other halos? if so ur thoughts, thx

[ZaChKiLlSiNhAlO]

@Fierysasuke he already said he didnt like it and that it was kinda slow so there ya go :-P

[Krutchtacular]

@Fierysasuke It was totally broken and was slow. With that said I thought the superior netcode, more useful weapons, and better aiming feel made it a better game than Halo 3.

[JustinKeithD]

[JustinKeithD]

@JustinKeithD *and 3* typoooo

[FluffyWin]

ok question, Will there be a team double in the arena and if there is will it have objectives

[Krutchtacular]

@FluffyWin Yeah, I think there will be 2v2, 3v3, 4v4, etc in Arena.

No objective though, unfortunately.

[FluffyWin]

@Krutchtacular thanks a lot

[ZaChKiLlSiNhAlO]

@FluffyWin you probably just wanna get a quick 50 :-\ although it'll probably be fully exp based now so the only thing that'll matter is winning

[vercingetorix9]

good shit :)

[coooooool12342]

Why would he say the grenades are like Halo 3 when in one interview they said they changed them, but they're still different. Ugh - I hate H3 nades; totally useless. Also, the DMR better not become the all purpose gun again.

[chipsilverGE]

@coooooool12342 u obviously suck at halo 3 if u think nades r useless, little bitch.

[D170RHL]

omg i wouldnt dare become a SPARTAN if i had to hav those injections :O

[thizzlejedi12]

Great video, i enjoyed it

Cant wait for reach

[humpinvirus]

you wont have an highest skill in reach right?

[scourgeofthegoalies]

"There will never be a ranked objective..."

Not true. There will never be Arena objective. There will be an MLG playlist, and it will probably be in the Ranked hopper, like it was in H3

[Krutchtacular]

@scourgeofthegoalies I don't think so. The only ranked playlists will be in the Arena.

[scourgeofthegoalies]

@Krutchtacular

Bungie mentioned sometime after the beta that there will be Ranked, Social and Arena hoppers. I don't have time to find a link right now but its out there - I believe it was mentioned in one of their weekly updates.

[Krutchtacular]

@scourgeofthegoalies I don't think so. I believe bungie said there will be competitive hoppers outside of arena that use trueskill but they won't show your rank.

[scourgeofthegoalies]

@Krutchtacular Ok. Probably misread. Either way, that's fairly good news. It would be awesome if Arena evolved into an MLG playlist.

[Krutchtacular]

@scourgeofthegoalies I just hope the non-Arena competitive playlists will actually be competitive.

[scourgeofthegoalies]

@Krutchtacular So do I. I think this is the first intelligent discussion I've ever had on a youtube thread.

[AbidingLogic]

Hey Krutchtacular - do u know if bungie will bring back that amazingly addictied clan system they had in halo2 which really for a lot of people including me made halo more than just a game, a social network experience. 

[john45344]

sum 1 add me. MoMiRA iN HD?????????

[killerklown2442]

how were able to get this fotage

[NowWithStuff]

I'm not saying he has, but so many people do 50s as a business that a lot of people just buy them. I do not think that the guy bought his, but when someone says that they have a 50, it's just a bit like "meh, ok".

[Krutchtacular]

@NowWithStuff He hasn't. He has 50s in every playlist legit.

[insertcoolwordhere]

Why was your friend at comic-con if he didnt want to buy halo reach? I dont understand why he would go there

[Krutchtacular]

@insertcoolwordhere He didn't go to comic-con just for Reach.

[insertcoolwordhere]

@Krutchtacular oh ok :)

[TheManOnTheStreetOMG]

the casual players could just get better or die trying its a simple fact that we all started crap but improved so f they cant improve they could just level up through firefight, forge and play custom games. the fact that theyre shit at the game shouldnt mean bungie make it unfair for good players.

[MrClip26]

hey...FUCK YOU.

[AlwaysDaft]

Good commentary, informative, i subed cause you are actually saying things that are important.

[iTormenTi]

The formulae are 'too complicated' I suggest they hire some mathematicians or something. Such little variation in ranked will become rather stale. At least there are plenty of other things to do.

[john45344]

was H3 a fail it looks like there goin bk 2 H2 n stuff i only played H3???????????

[SideWindZ]

@orjejan96 He was born on Hawaii,

Anyway, reach looks super cool. Pre-ordered the legendary edition a while ago. Cant wait.

[iansate]

H3 MM is a joke... rank system= stupid.. in Halo reach u get matched up with people around your skill as you would with your lvl in Halo 3 it just doesnt show it as in halo 3 lvl. IDK if its like this in social or not but if so its not going to matter weither or not MLG playlist is ranked or not so no big deal.

[xBLiiNDxFLAMEZx]

of course the rocket is unrealisic its 500 years in the future

[Krutchtacular]

@xBLiiNDxFLAMEZx I mean unrealistic, as in it flies so slow that it defies the laws of physics. Those will still be around in 500 years.

[TerrbleTrioHerb]

@Krutchtacular Dude, you freaking owned xBLiiNDxFLAMEZx

Physics hahaha! Props!

[xBLiiNDxFLAMEZx]

@Krutchtacular yeah, that is true, well reach looks epic i prorderd it

[TheCountCrumpet]

@Krutchtacular not in the halo universe...

[darkspineshadow12345]

@Krutchtacular

games are meant to as realistic as possible dude

[dameinxyz]

man i can never be a spartan lol i fuckn hate needles lol

[ozziedoggy14]

this map wont be online, its from Forge 2.0 and its just a pre-made map.

[NotSoGuitarHeroPheno]

Just because you're a high rank in a video game, does NOT mean that you know what you're talking about.

[mydogisadog]

i was watching tv, and i saw a kids bop comercial, they make every song terrible, there was no difference of baby (justin biebers song)

[22MrHELLO]

i wish i was at comic con so i could get the game a month earlier! :(

[ArcticSquirrel44]

I love the Needler

[ExtantWill]

Lots of stuff about Reach is being posted online now, there's a nice IGN multiplayer map preview which clearly shows the pistol being shot.

[Krutchtacular]

@ExtantWill I don't know what I casn do with those 30 second clips, honestly.

[ExtantWill]

@Krutchtacular

Looks like JRHCKYCASMAN already tested both blooms in his Part 2 of his super indepth comparison video between beta and preview multiplayer (not firefight, the "actual" multiplayer). If you're having a hard time seeing the difference, he does show without a doubt that the bloom shrinks much faster.

You should consider doing more commentaries in the future. Unlike a lot of people on youtube, you criticize without whining.

[Krutchtacular]

@ExtantWill Yeah, he made a good video. I'll probably link to it in my next episode. Thanks for the compliment. =)

[kingbigb2]

@Krutchtacular Krutch i have a question. How did u get forge mode? and if u did,did you get to play forge world?

[darkspineshadow12345]

@kingbigb2

this is a video from waypoint with his commentary dude

[SportGamers]

@Krutchtacular what did he say about mlg and objective

[sharpshooter740]

@sharpshooter740 shit a typo now i look like a hypocrite great

[mysonnewow]

@sharpshooter740 yeah but DMR = 5 shot kill BR = 4 shot kill

whos the retard now

[limeboy44]

@mysonnewow Br can gets shots off faster and doesnt have bloom retard.

[sharpshooter740]

@mysonnewow I always thought the DMR=4 shot kill I wasn't aware it was 5 shot until today (not because of your comment) so....

[BarbsyJr]

will the target locator be in multiplayer? Will there ever be a ranked MLG objective game type that doesn't include the arena?

[sharpshooter740]

@BarbsyJr No clue as to MLG objective in Reach but Bungie confirmed the target locator will NOT be in forge or matchmaking

[BarbsyJr]

@sharpshooter740 thank god

[kbowe95]

Could you ask John if he tried the forklift? And how does it feel to fight along side the Covenant? Thanks.

[ENRAGEDAustin11]

no he doesnt know what he is talking about, he called every weapon that wasnt a DMR and a pistol a noob weapon. god the entire gaming community is just filled with condescending douche bags who, if you dont do everything the same as them, than apparently you are a noob. and it is basically confirmed that the DMR is going to be the most over used weapon in the game so i am preparing to stay in forge from now on. halo community, go fuck yourself, going to ruin another halo game.

[emigre86]

@ENRAGEDAustin11 what exactly is your issue

[coooooool12342]

@ENRAGEDAustin11 I agree, but also trust Bungie to not mess up the DMR like they did with the BR. The rest of the sandbox seems pretty good, so we'll see how things turn out.

[DarkNep]

Krutch, Bungie said the only change of the Needle Rifle from the beta to now is clip size. 16 in the beta, 21 in the full game. Similar to DMR's 12 to 15. :)

[toolazy4myspace]

I say good riddance to the bungie rank system. Win 4, don't go up. Lose 1, go down. Pissed me off so much.

[flatliner974]

Too bad about no ranked objective. This makes me a sad panda. I hope at least they have a way to track stats and objective W/L in game or on B.net.

[tjobberhe]

All the noobs always shoots a mag in someone, when i use the needler (not so often) i shot like 1/3 of the mag. 40 days left!

[chargio21]

If the guy gave him a copy then why did he go pre-order it? lol got cha

[sharpshooter740]

@chargio21 he didn't say they gave him a copy. he said that Sage HAS some copies

lol got cha

[sharpshooter740]

@chargio21 shiska HAD some copies. no one said anything about him receiving a copy. They say they could give him a copy.

[SirhcRekrap]

no ranked objective or MLG is probably the dumbest thing bungie could do. and the funny thing is the "casual" gamers wanted this , but they dont realize how bad this is for them becuase now instead of being able to avoid playing actual good players by going into social matches they will just get killed all the time by better players in all of the playlists

[CynosuralTheory]

@SirhcRekrap yeah and its also a lot of faggit quitters and morons that dont know shit what to do

[Krutchtacular]

@SirhcRekrap It doesn't have anything to do with what casual players wanted. If Bungie could figure out a way to implement objective into the arena point system they would do so. If anyone has a good way to implement it, then suggest it.

[SirhcRekrap]

@Krutchtacular first of all i would like to know why they cant put it in cuz it doesnt seem to have that good of an explanation behind it. but i think sense the arena ranks reset after every month wouldnt it just make sense to have one month with four v four slayer matches then a month of mlg settings then a month of objective then a month of doubles and so on

[Krutchtacular]

@SirhcRekrap No, because the ranking system calculates your level based on kills, assists, and deaths. It can't possibly calculate how good of an objective player you are. In objective its possible to go negative, get few kills, not much ball time, but still be a very valuable teammate. It's much more complicated than slayer.

[SirhcRekrap]

@Krutchtacular ok well i understand now why objective wont be ranked. but i have another question and my question is why does your friend who has a fifty in everything not have one in squad battle becuase it seems a lot of people who have fiftys in other playlists are against squad battle, why is this? becuase i personally love some squad battle

[Krutchtacular]

@SirhcRekrap its because almost nobody plays squad battle and at the higher levels you usually face host booters. I think he's a 44 in squad battle.

[hubbzee]

@Krutchtacular agreed, i was high 30s in squad in battled and could rarely find a game.

[IHighLikePlane]

@Krutchtacular Screw the arena, I'd much rather have a rank based purely off wins and losses than how many kills and assists I get. It's just plain stupid. All they'd have to do is create a separate very simple ranking system that goes only by wins and losses.

[WhiteBandicoot]

@Krutchtacular

But, the idea of arena is an idea built for worse players. Only terrible players complain about how they go positive and their team goes negative. So I really dislike arena being so individual. Great vid btw, I was one of your first subs :D

[minimouba123]

@SirhcRekrap Yeah ill miss MLG multi flag

[TheDarkKnightOf2012]

@SirhcRekrap hey your forgot about ARENA mode it is basicly RANKED mode so think about something before you say it

[VNixonV]

Yeah. Enough time host booting. lmao.

[o0MrCheesy0o]

Oh gawd! I just realized that the part when the pelican is flying into the space station (at 00:59) is from Star Wars :D

Little tribute there I guess... Man, I love Star Wars...

Anyway, another awesome upload. *thumbs up*

[phatmic6922]

I only needed to have one 50 because I just wanted the general rank... but then I realized that 1 wasn't enough for me so I made it to 3... ^_^ then back to 2 -_- But rank doesn't mean anything to me anymore. The video was very helpful & informative so thanks for uploading this.

[joebeezer]

I hope the grenade radius stays the way it was in the beta.

[Ps3isg4y]

*sigh* rank means nothing

[Krutchtacular]

@Ps3isg4y It's not a direct indication of skill, no, but it definitely shows that he's spent enough time with the game to know what he's talking about. That's why I shared his rank.

[JPlikesCookies]

@Krutchtacular thank you for posting this video and since your friend played firefight versus was he able to pick up the spiker. please reply and thanks

[john45344]

@Ps3isg4y wat do u.mean the ranking system has changed r they still ganna rank up up like halo 3

[stevejoe11]

@Ps3isg4y

Actually Rank can mean a lot in Halo, especially if someone has a lvl 50 in almost every ranked playlist.

[ShibbyDude223]

@stevejoe11

RANK MEANS NOTHING IN HALO 3

ONLY IN HALO 2 IT HAD TRUE VALUE, Everyone knew if you were 40+ you cheated at some point

[HarmlessKitten7]

@ShibbyDude223 lmao so true!

it was tough getting past a 30 in that game without running into modders.

50s in halo 3 have been whored out too badly to ever mean anything again. that's why im glad there's been an overhaul of the ranking system. maybe it won't be so bad this time.

[stevejoe11]

@ShibbyDude223

Wow if you think everyone who was over lvl 40 in some playlist had to cheat to get there, you must really suck. If you can pull a legit 47 or 48 in any ranked playlist then that's a pretty good indication that you're a decent player.

[ShibbyDude223]

@stevejoe11

Dude you fucking Dumbass.. I was referring to Halo 2..

Halo 3 is easy as fucking hell to get 40+ and even a 50 Legit so do some reading before you talk shit.

[stevejoe11]

@ShibbyDude223

I was talking about Halo 3 and 2. You fucking retard you think 1/5 of the Halo 2 community used cheats? You're just pissed that you sucked and could never get there yourself.

[ShibbyDude223]

@stevejoe11

holy shit your a faggot drop it, you never said halo 2 or 3 I did and you obviously have no idea how out of control cheating was in halo 2

[stevejoe11]

@ShibbyDude223

Cool story, bro. Doesn't mean everyone 40+ cheated.

[ShibbyDude223]

@stevejoe11

most people did thats all.

[stevejoe11]

@ShibbyDude223

Yet another blatant exaggeration, good job.

[ShibbyDude223]

@stevejoe11

stfu plz you know its true so shut the fuck up bye.

[xbh1h2]

@Ps3isg4y How does rank mean nothing? It shows you're a better player. Thats obvious.

[zPistolCz]

@xbh1h2 or how long youve played.

[alfredoooddd]

but bungie confirmed that movement speed has increased... makes me question whether this kid in the interview knows what he is talking about.

[Krutchtacular]

@alfredoooddd It's because he only played as the Elites in Firefight. I'm not sure if they changed much about the Elite's movement speed.

[sharpshooter740]

@Krutchtacular shitstorm incoming from the reach forums!!

[kbowe95]

Can you ask John what his experiences with vehicles were? Did he try the falcon or the revenant? And do any vehicles fell different than the beta?

[Krutchtacular]

@kbowe95 He was only able to play Firefight Versus, so he didn't really get to use the vehicles much. =\

[sharpshooter740]

yay!

[DaHaloManiax]

the live action trailer was actually made for the beta. There will be a new one out before reach hits the shelves.

[measles27]

love pinnacle, love the needler, loves these uploads

[john45344]

looks like a gd map 

[HiddenMickeyA113]

handing them  out?!

then why arnt we finding more videos on youtube???

[Plingdom]

@HiddenMickeyA113 they probably hand them out to people they trust wouldn't upload them to youtube,thats why I already have my copy. =). (yea i wish lol)

[latsu15]

@HiddenMickeyA113

They gave away 6 copies along with the consols. The people won't bee reciveing the game or consol untill the 13th of september. I think thats what he meant.

[CooperLordOfAll]

boooooooo i hate halo 3 grenades...

i kinda miss my mini nukes :(

[rudeboi1041]

i love you and your videos and im from england, you the coolest yank out there!

[MrRadium]

Wow that director's cut is 100x better than the original.

[bunnylordtwitch2199]

your vids are great

[ddgt11]

wow awesome

[TheGuitarLand]

nice video

[jackyboy575]

how did you upload a video longer than 10 mins?
