No, it's friends and family weekend before it's open to everyone

Since I'm not either one of those I don't belong there. Not sure why anyone would want to be a part of it if they weren't

Not even that. I have watched enough videos, and for now the Beta doesn't have all the maps and game modes, so I'll wait till Monday.

Please, explain. It's looking better in every way.

Updated graphics, new game modes, difference between Spartans & Elites, more open maps, new weapons, loadouts, tons of customization, on top of a campaign featuring multiple Spartans. You're wrong. This isn't Modern Warfare 2, which was pretty much the definition of a reskin.

"Updated graphics," MW2 looked better
"New game modes" Demolition
"New weapons" MW2 had a buncha new weapons
"Tons of customization" MW2 had buncha attachments, and bling is pretty customizable
"On top of a campagin featuring multiple Spartans" MW2 campaign was amazinggg

You sir just failed big time

I got a code last night, downloaded it over night and havent stopped playing it since :P. It's super fun with my only complaints being the power of the grenades needs to be decreased and the pistols shooting animation is kind of crazy. Other than that I've really enjoyed the Beta and I can't wait till Monday so more maps and gametypes come out!

I have already played around 30 games on Halo Reach, and no time machine was needed. Early access codes were given out so the beta for some people (around 8000) started on the 29th. The game is still certainly Halo, but the changes made (armor abilities) really does make a difference. As my brother said (also in Beta) Halo Reach feels like Halo 1, 3, and a bit of Modern Warfare and I would have to agree. It feels like Halo, but a more modern Halo. I would say the only thing not showing off the best of the beta yet is the fact that it is limited to 2 maps and 2 game playlists (can anyone else access Arena?!?!?). So for the most part the beta involves essentially old Halo 3 game types (with the additions of headhunter and stockpile) with the new Reach gameplay style. No Invasion or Gen defense yet, which kind of sucked, but it will be there eventually. I would say the more you play the more differences you will notice. At first you will probably play it a lot like Halo 3, but then gradually you will start playing it in the new style Reach presents (which does feel much different).

I'm sorry, but. You call halo reach a reskin, and mw2 improved in every way? They used the same game engine, almost no improvement to graphics. Reach looks WAY better than mw2. i'm sorry. ODST was a reskin.

So you are basing your opinions around videos, but no playtime? That is an unfair advantage for MW2 because you have played that, but not Reach..

So your basing your opinion around a video even though haven't played the Beta yet? Sure with a video you can get an idea of how it plays but it's one thing seeing somebody play and it's a whole other thing experiencing it. Believe me it feels and plays way more different than Halo 3.

Dude! MW 2 is pretty much all the COD's, combine! With only a few new stuff in the game, but with the same old gameplay I remember from COD 2 (Best COD) that I remember 5 years ago. Halo Reach atleast got Jetpacks, new armor (some same), active camo, sprint, and "armor lock", which makes the player nearly invincible in exchange for the loss of mobility, and a whole lot of new stuff in the game that will destroy MW 2. Yeah, Halo Reach had the same old gameplay I remember, but the new features or atleast fun. What does MW 2 got? Spec Ops that gets old quick, prestige ranks that don't mean crap on games, new overpowered weapons for higher ranks, and the new feature (joke) that everyone does in the game, CAMP, CAMP, CAMP, or glitch at times. I see why you like the game, or many other people that likes it however.

Plus, I thought Camp of Duty: Modern Borefail 1.5 was one of the worst COD games in existance. Halo Reach> Modern Borefail 1.5, or woops, Modern Warfare 2.

I don't really have any interest in the multiplayer for Reach. So I have no problem waiting. I could have gotten a code if I wanted one.

Spartans vs Elites. One is not a reskin of the other. Elites have a dodge move and regen health while Spartans have sprint and need med packs.

Armor abilities alone are changing the game drastically. Once they open up Invasion next week, we'll see they affect the more objective based gameplay.
