Official Halo: Reach Thread! Last Hurrah For the Beta!

ok....something's up. I tried going back to the dashboard and now my 360 is just showing a black screen.

Feels exactly like Halo 3 no question. And I was disappointed with halo 3. Weapons are still not balanced well enough. And the default button layout is needlessly complicated.

I'm still on the fence about the power of the grenades, but I must admit, I am in love with the sound they make. Sounds awesome in surround sound.

Look, maybe I just suck, but I've always found most grenades in FPS games to be almost useless, they always bounce too much and don't do nearly as much damage as they should. I love Reach's grenades and I'll be really disappointed if Bungie nerfs them because of the whiners.

lack of accuracy with the reticle.

erm...that isn't entirely accurate(pun definitely intended!). I just played a game on Sword Base where my opponents were just spamming with AR or pistol and I was taking my time to aim with DMR/Pistol and I was getting all the kills. I had one battle where this guy had the jump on me with the Plasma Launcher, and I took him out from across the map with my pistol because I didn't panic and took aim.

The weapons are just as accurate as ever, you just have to compensate for recoil and movement...or whatever the bloom is simulating.

I have been finding it hard take the time to get the "patiently aimed shots" that the DMR and Pistol require, when I have to avoid their fire, and that they jitter around like tourrets patients overdosed on caffein. :?

I hope this game to be epic. but man, I have a strong feeling that this game will probably get 8.0 or under.Leo-Magic

Is there gonna be a hype thread for this soon? I mean, like, a REAL standard hype thread? It's early I know, but it's Halo so I'd expect it to get one early.

I don't pay for Xbox Live and don't feel like getting a Beta code (nor do I even know how to get one...) so I can't comment on that, but I'm hyping AAA for the game. I'm not a big fan of Halo single player, it's ok, but multiplayer provides tons and tons of fun. In fact it's one of the few games I'll excuse for mediocre single player since the MP is just so fun. If it meets hype, I'll buy it day one and actually subscribe to XBL for the first time.

[QUOTE="lawlessx"]ok..maybe im wrong with this one,but were we always able to upload and download our game videos off bungie.com? I started checking out bungie's website and it's saying we can watch our videos thru the website and download them was this always possible with halo 3?rolo107

Bnet did not feature embedded videos for Halo 3, that is new for Reach. And I think it is the best addition overall to Bnet.

Love the game but i think sprint should just be an option in the controls instead of a load out option.I think the sprint would work better of they used it the same way modern warfare uses it.When u can choose between super shields and a freakin jet pack why would u choose the option to run faster.I think the sprint works well in reach i just wish it were apart of the regular controls.Anyways the game rocks and if u love halo then get odst and enjoy this beta for the next few weeks.

Sprint should last longer, you get what? 4 seconds of sprint? For small maps it is OK, but on larger maps? It will be a pointless armor ability.

Halo Reach = Halo 3 expansions with added classes and modes.... oh and ridiculously buffed grenades... because that was needed :roll:Birdy09

How is it Halo 3 with added classes and modes exactly?

... *gets "Haters gonna hate" pic ready*

Says the fanboy who has never played it. Ppl with just PS3s can only dream of having an FPS as good as Reach or even Halo 3 lol.

I'm calling it now.... Halo Reach has the best MP out of any Halo to date. Also... I can't get over how lag free it is (especially for beta)... I live in Korea, and although we have the fastest internet on earth here, I lag alot in games because most people I play with are from North America or Europe.

Halo 3 & Halo 2's MP has nothing on Reach, and we only have 2 maps and a handful of gametypes to play so far. Can't wait to try "Invasion" its gonna be DA BOMB!
