Halo Reach
Will this game be a success or will players reach for another game?
Bungie has done a great job of making fans salivate over Halo: Reach by keeping most the aspects of the game under wraps. Halo the Series continues first Halo, Halo 2, Halo3, Halo wars, Halo Odst, and on September 1st 2010 Halo Reach. Reach is the prequel to the Halo series following the Spartan soldiers, codenamed Noble Team, as they traverse the world of Reach before it is destroyed. Given that the levels will show reach being destroyed in a progressing manner. South East High School Freshman Alex Ramirez Said “this Game looks freaking incredible and every one says its going to be better than all the rest” The game is purported to be darker than the previous Halo games.
The Game play has definitely changed, as said by Game Informer “The biggest difference in game play is Bungie’s use of an overhauled graphics engine. As we saw in the in-game trailer, Reach will show a massive improvement over the graphics in Halo 3 and ODST. Reach has outsourced facial animations to Image Metrics, who have worked on titles such as Assassin’s Creed 2 and Gears of War 2.”Besides better graphics the game will have much more combat, previously, only 20 AI (artificial intelligence) characters could be on the screen at a time, but with the new engine, over 40 AI and 20 vehicles can be present! Cut-scenes have been improved as well, and are going to be more cinematic. Co-operative campaigns, split screening, theater, and Forge all make a triumphant return in Reach.
Reach introduces a group of brand new characters, starting with the Noble Team, comprised of 5 Spartan III’s, and 1 Spartan II. Carter, Kat, Emile (He has the skull helmet in the trailer), Jun (the sniper), and Lone Wolf are the Spartan III’s (with Carter and Kat being the only original members of NT), and Jorge is a Spartan II. Marines similar to those in Halo 1 will be in this game, and it is possible that Human Insurrectionists will make an appearance. Also the covenant is back, and deadlier than ever. The grunts look considerably more threatening but will most likely continue to be pushovers. Elites make a return in Reach as well: they seem slightly taller and they stand up straight no longer hunched over. Ign said, “Jackals seem to have been replaced with “Skirmishers,” an enemy who attacks in packs like wolves and flank secure positions.
There are a few exciting changes and additions to the weapons available in Reach. As stated in the halo reach forum by Halo fan “The sniper, assault rifle, and magnum will be returning, but it seems the battle-rifle will be replaced with a single shot rifle dubbed the “Designated Marksman Rifle.” It’s possible they removed the BR due to its inaccurate spread, but we can’t be certain” As stated in the halo forum “Due to inconsistencies in the game physics of spike and flame grenades, both have been removed. This leaves only frag and plasma grenades.” SEHS Freshman Hector Cruz said “Halo is an awesome game I love it and I cant wait till Halo reach comes out because it sounds crazy an I really want to get it.”
Endure this journey with Noble Team as they traverse the world of Reach before it is destroyed. Reach has better graphics, more combat, and more opponents. Brand new set of characters and the covenant have returned. Reach has all new weapons, some old ones, and the removal of some weapons. People already cannot wait for this game. Soon to come Halo Reach premiers Sept. 1st 2010.

Recycling Helps the World
Recycling is one of many ways to sustain our environment.
Recycling is the process of restoring materials that would otherwise become waste and turning them into valuable reusable resources. Collecting used bottles, cans, and newspapers then taking them to a collection facility is just the first in many steps to saving the world. Recycling improves the world and prevents the destruction of natural resources. For most people recycling is not in their daily agenda. Maybe they don’t believe it is important but it is. According to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) an estimated 77% percent of people in the United States recycle, that is not a bad percentage but it could be increased if we all try to make a difference. Several current problems could have been avoided by using recyclable material, the Pacific Trash Vortex, Global Warming, dwindling natural resources, and so on.
South East High School freshman Andres Paniagua said,” I don’t recycle; I think it is not that important, the world is already messed up.” If several people shared his thoughts our planet would soon be coming to it’s end. An anonymous source from the Huntington Park recycling center said, “I am appalled by the amount of people that don’t come down here. The people you see here are mainly the ones struggling to get by, or who are homeless, I mean you get money. Money! But still people are too lazy to recycle.” So far not too many people care about recycling in the community even though there are countless ways of doing it.
There are various benefits from recycling. According to Greenpeace “recycling protects and expands the U.S. manufacturing jobs and increases the U.S. competitiveness.” Greenpeace furthermore said, “recycling reduces the need for land filling and incineration. Also preventing pollution caused by the manufacturing of products from virgin materials, and saves energy. It decreases emissions of greenhouse gases that contribute to global climate change. It also conserves natural resources such as timber, water, and minerals, and helps sustain the environment for future generations.” Elizabeth Robles, a senior at SEHS, says, “If our environment keeps going the way it is, future generations will not be allowed to step outside their homes without wearing protective masks.” Robles also believes that as a school we should together strive toward creating a more eco-friendly school environment.
The first thing that happens when an item is recycled is that it is sent to a recovery facility to be sorted and prepared for manufacturing. Once cleaned, separated, and renewed the recyclables are ready to undergo the final recycling process, purchasing recycled products. Alex Ramirez, a freshman at SEHS, said,” Buying things that have been recycled is cool because I’m helping the environment that I’m living in.” It is good to acknowledge that there are still people in our community that care. According to the EPA, “with pollution rates continuing to rise and people not caring about the world, we seem to be on a path leading to destruction. The future does not seem too bright for upcoming generation of kids and adolescents
