Bungie really looks like it is about to own the video game world when they release this game. They are bringing back some old favorites like the Halo 1 pistol and bringing in some new ones like the jet pack. I personally can't wait to play the beta, what are your guys' thoughts? <object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/aRkf1q8hoIY&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/aRkf1q8hoIY&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object> If you want an HD version of it go to this link: http://www.bungie.net/projects/reach/vidaudio.aspx
Is it just me or did it seem kind of cluttered? There was a whole lot going on throughout.. Too much? We'll see i guess.
There is only one way to find out, wait until May 3rd to play it. I'm confident Bungie won't disappoint, they never do.
I'm looking for the firefight mode from ODST to show up in this. That mode was awesome. Reach should be the best Halo yet!
Can't wait to play Reach..I'm getting more psyched about it. Unfortunately I can't play the beta because I couldn't justify dropping 60 bucks on ODST for a short single-player campaign.
Halo is my second favorite gaming franchise to come out.....(The first was Rainbow 6 3 and rainbow 6 black arrow) I can't wait. Do any of you play right now? I'd love to play some rounds with y'all. I use to play big team mythic with my friends it was so much fun when I got 70 kills on maps such as CTF Sandbox.
I've been playing the online beta since thursday. It's not at all bad. Feels surprisingly different from Halo 3. Few Thoughts: Jetpack not as game changing as I thought it would be. Doesn't last too long and you are an easy target in the air. It's good for getting above to higher surfaces and getting away from enemies in vertical maps. You can choose the jetpack as a class of spartan. Every time you die, you can pick a different class with different abilities. The spartans still play the same for the most part. Combat: Feels much more closed quarters shoot em up than Halo 3. It might be the because the 2 maps out right now are relatively small. The Pistol is back as a good weapon and accompanies a health bar and fall damage from Halo 1. Battle rifle only shoots 1 round at a time which is annoying. THe game looks pretty good. Backgrounds are better but spartans look way grittier. Very dark and dirty. The High Ground level looks way better than the sleek human interior level. Some great new lines from the multiplayer announcer like "Close Call!" and "Revenge". Matchmaking as some cool preferences now like looking for chatty players or quiet ones. You can also vote now for the gametype once you find players. You get 4 choices. Overall, the game feels less uniquely Halo but still is fun.
Started playing the Beta last night. It is very different from Halo. Closer to ODST. It was fun, but I really hate one of the maps.
Lucky you played during the night cause the servers were f***** during the day i only got like 2 games b4 it would screw up. The Beam Rifle is by far my favorite weapon and i also hate one of the maps A LOT
We were having the same problem. We were even playing for a long time, backed out and lost the connection to it. After signing in and out a bunch of times we got it back in and never had another problem. That was around 10pm Eastern that we quit having problems. Its the building I hate. Scout is my favorite ability. I love running with the Hammer/Sword.
