I briefly played it, but why can't I melee anyone? I pressed B and uh... no melee action. Did they remove this? (I'm fully aware that I could google the controls and could figure it out tonight, but if someone could provide insight, it would be very much appreciated.)
Lol i dont like the sprinting my favorite is stalker Yea the inside building crap is a horrible map i hate it. hopefully today when i get home itll be running with no problems
I played briefly at a friends house...thought it was pretty entertaining. Head hunter was fun. Also, I love being invisible when someone is dropping off a flag in the designated area...as soon as they drop it, I give them a quick melee to the back and take the flag. :grin:
Beta was horrid. It feels contrived, as if they wanted to add a new element to the game, so abilities is what they came up with. The invisibility is worthless because it’s easier to see people and you can’t use radar. The jet pack is way to critical in a fight and dominates everything, giving that class of player instant high ground advantage. The guard ability is absolutely the dumbest thing I’ve seen in a long time. What the hell is he doing hitting the ground and sitting there? It’s lame. Oh and the sprint… that is the only ability that doesn’t absolutely piss me off. This should be a feature that is built in and not a special ability. The way the game looks as well stinks. The artwork is not halo. I feel like they tried to copy of FPS games and now it’s not halo. It’s f’ing COD. The fighting is different too. You used to be able to duke it out, but now the character who shoots first, typically wins. There is less strategy to the fighting and not it’s all about the approach. This isn’t halo. You should be able to duke it out for longer than one second. Also, the armor is different. I feel like an ODST character, not a Spartan. The weapons fail as well. They are all far too weak. Especially the assault rifle. Meanwhile, the needler is way to strong. The main thing that makes me hate this game… is the jetpack. I dislike it. That’s like giving Mrs. Pac-Man the ability to walk through walls.
I as well feel Human rather than Spartan. Regular beatdowns aren't quite as effective. You don't jump like a Spartan, which makes you need the jetpack sometimes, which sucks. The weapons are older versions of the current weapons due to it being a prequel. The running should be a regular ability. I don't play COD, but it reminds me of running in Gears.
It doesn't blow, but I do like the older Halo's better. Would love to see Halo 3 have the Grab Bag playlist again. I like randomly having Objective/Slayer.
It doesnt blow its pretty cool its a beta so you arent seeing everything the real game will have. I really cant wait to see all the different maps were gonna see. What i really hate is when playing king of the hill youll hear "hill controlled" in halo 3 it means your in the hill in reach it means either you or an opponent is in control it makes me rage
I know it is a beta, but the whole point of it is the get glitches out and buff. I doubt they'll fix what is inherently wrong with the game... IE jet packs. I pray they fix the weak jumping, weak health, weak melee and weak weapons. Also the grenades are way too strong, but I could deal with it. The point of the beta is to be critical before it's too late and that's how I approach it. It has a lot of work to go if it is going to actually be fun like the other games were.
Agree on the grenades there REALLY strong, but if you know how to use em big time advantage triple and overkill and what not. The weak health should be fixed, i dont understand what weapons are weak? the DMR is the only weak one i see IMO i wish the kept the burst like the BR in halo 3
Sounds like a gay version of COD with guys wearing suits that don't protect ****. The fantasy is old.
I find the pistol worse. I am very good with a pistol in Halo 3. I don't know why, I just don't like the one in Reach even though it zooms in. I hate the DMR when not zoomed in. The AR absolutely sucks, but I think thats partly because the melee attack is weak. My wife doesn't like the different shotgun, but I've had no problems.
the pistol distracts me when i shoot it moves to dam much so i cant get a clean shot way easier to use in halo 3. The shotgun is pure ownage as usual its stronger in my opinion in reach than in halo 3.
I think its the different crosshair that throws her off. I might have a narrower shot. I think the sword lunge is a little quicker.
