Oh the irony in life. A message board which states that it is powered by the Xbox 360 and Bungie serves as a home to several images featuring what the poster, “Tom Morello”, claims to be leaked Halo: Reach in-game weapon screens.
And now, the page scrolling list of leaked images for your speculative pleasure…
Highlights from the leaked screens and info mentioned on the forum reveal a HUD that Morello says lists out things such as teammate names and player perks like cloak, sprint, and hologram. Sprinting will involve the use of the LB button and cloaking will not only hide you from plain sight but also jam your radar and take you offline in terms of communication with your team on Xbox LIVE. Hologram will create a mirror image of your character forcing your enemy to either guess correctly or live long enough to kill both of you.
Morello claims that the photos were taken from inside of an office at Microsoft Headquarters, adding that his initial reasoning for snapping a few pics was to share the existence of a new “Battle Rifle” with the MLG community.
The biggest question that still remains, in my opinion, is whether or not this game will feature the return of Master Chief as a playable character. As you can see in the image below, it does appear that the hand shown topside up does have similar plated armor to that of Master Chief. Of course it could just be a random Spartan. If that’s the case, you can thank the Bungie writers and their self serving need for varied character development.
Is this shit for real? Your guess is as good as mine. If real though, the logic of “no such thing as bad press” says this leak could serve to a be a good thing for the Bungie squad as it will surely steal a small amount of the spotlight currently beaming heavily on Infinity Ward and their impending Modern Warfare 2 release.
What do you think? Are the screens real? Are you a fan of the Halo franchise? Sound off in the comments section below.
