At the end of the video it says Fools 2010. Obviously a joke.
Chess in Halo however would have been awesome.
Bungie made a funny.
I still can't believe they wasted production time on a AF joke instead of Reach...
I actually wanted to play that gametype about halfway through, too
Bungie always has time for some fun and as they said a few times they only do public beta's when the games are close being finished, all there doing now are polishing up the game adding the voice overs and such and de-bugging so they can have a laugh during all of this. After all they are playing the game while working.
Im sure you have took the time to break away from an important job for a little fun when given the chance i know i have Installing 5 IT suites and breaking off for a while playing unreal tournament lol

I know...who knows, though? They had a chess board, movement boxes...I know they can do anything they want to the game to cause that,to happen, but still: it could be like a Bungie Day special, or DLC, or just a goof-off mode like in Forge or something...
DANG IT, Bungie, you keep everything in the shadows!!
lol, Speculating and anticipating what may or may not happen in the game and all is almost as fun as PLAYING the game...just like Halo 3. The pre-game months were so fun...we were so clueless...xD

I think this confirms placeable objectives in Forge and some kind of really small objective for a certain gametype. And hammers.

ODST was actually pretty decent. WAY overpriced though. I paid...I think $79.99 for pre-order.
Firefight was nothing special IMO. It was just an obvious game mode thanks to the success of Horde (thanks GoW2).
Fun, but no surprise there. Halo has always been fun.
Think about it though...
ODST Firefight was FUN. Not perfect, but certainly something new for Halo...
Now that Bungie knows exactly what we like and dislike about all those new modes (Theater, Forge, Firefight, etc.) just imagine what the Reach versions of these are going to be like...
=DDD

Bungie's adding gametypes on top of that too.

Reach is going to be insane and I can't wait to get my hands on it.

Paulus Magintie:I know does'nt it :D i would play it when nobody is online haha
You can play it now?
How!?
I said i would not I am lol
I wish i could play reach now playing with bungie all day drool
I think I might get reach now, before I was thinking of just renting it like ODST.
Hopefully Reach won't be as fail as ODST.
Well rent or buy ODST for may 3rd and download the reach beta

That doesn't work...

May 3rd the "New Intel" option on ODST's Main Menu will change to "Reach Beta" or something. You actually have to have the ODST disk to get into the Beta, like Crackdown for Halo 3's Beta.

And, ODST was NOT fail. It introduced Firefight, and on top of that had a short but very sweet storyline, showing that Bungie really can make characters in-depth even in the game.

Not to mention the whole slew of different moods...from the dreary, and somewhat creepily calm nightime streets of New Mombasa, to the chaotic daytime vehicular missions and the awesome nightime Banshee assault mission...
