Im suprised, they are actually adding a lot of good stuff. Especially the Spartans vs. Elites gametype with the objectives (not just CTF and Assault gametypes, they are like real campaign objectives but in Multiplayer). Sprinting, Rolling, all the guns look great too. I've always liked Halo but I was never a huge fan like alot of people are.. the old school fans probably wont like it too much though.... old school fans never like anything new no matter what it is.

Right. Fanboys are very resistent to change.

The game really does look good. It's crisper than Halo 3 and ODST in multiplayer. I did a doubletake when I first started only because I was surprised it was actually multiplayer and still looked really nice.

True.

I am excited about the armor abilities, and I hope the weapons are well balanced, but it looks like DMR will be spammed... Pistol is over powered too.

DMR? Eh, I think the pistol will be alright. Yeah but like I said, I know there will be the people who say "Wtf? This isn't Halo!". Honestly, I loved Halo 2 but I thought Halo 3 was a step up, maybe except for a few of the maps..but it was still a good game. With Halo Reach it just seems like they are trying to give us more of what every gamer should like =). Ya know what would be cool? I wouldn't be suprised if they did this, make an "Original Halo" playlist. None of the new stuff, just the old guns and whatnot. I guess for anyone who likes Halo Reach but still wants to play the older versions without switching discs or going out and buying the old ones. PS.. Bungie, for Gods Sake PLEASE remake the map "Turf" from Halo 2 :)

The beta also helps find out whats overpowered, I agree with you about the DMR and the pistol and I think they'll probably both get nerfed before the games release.

There was talk about the single player when the first trailer came out, now the Beta is coming and all this MP footage is released, of course people are going to talk about the MP. I am more interested about the campaign (I hope it's not short) and what they do with Firefight mode.

I really hope they put matchmaking in firefight (if they even include it). It's a pain to try to get 3 other people from my friends list to all play at the same time.

I'm an old school fan and I'm all for this. Although that might be because they're making it a lot more like Halo CE in many ways.

I kinda doubt that there'll bea separate elite campaign. Maybe they'd do something like in Halo 2 where they split it up between the arbiter and master chief, but I feel like Reach will focus on the spartans and humanity. Especially because they said that the covenant will no longer speak english.

As much as I loved the Arbiter's story in Halo 2, so many other people didn't. I think they're going to limit Elite access to multiplayer only.

it is almost like Bungie is going to their roots, when Halo was an amazing game, not just a decent game with popular multiplayer. I am so glad they brought back fall damage and got rid of dual wielding and the smg. Also with an added bonus they added the jetpack, I can't wait to see how this effects the pacing of multiplayer

I thought of that Elites vs. Spartens before they first announced it, I think I thought of some other ideas but I am going to have to look at the post I said that in.

They also added the loadouts idea, yes, maybe a member of Bungie read my post, ah that would be great, not that I want to work at Bungie because Bungie is going to be a dead devoloper pretty soon with the death of Halo, they better announce a new game within a year of Halo: Reach otherwise we may never hear from them again.

Good Joke. Bungie is a top developer full of amazing talent. In Friday's update they had a video talking about how hard they work and the passion they have for the games they make. Just because they've been doing Halo for 10 years doesn't mean they can't do something new. Anyway can't wait to play this tomorrow! Halo: Reach goty! They have many more surprises for us i guarantee it. Go Bungie!

I've loved every Halo iteration (with the exception of Halo Wars, but I haven't played it yet), & I think Reach looks awesome. What I want to know is how all these people that found the Halo series, thus far, boring are in the friends & family beta, yet other die hard Halo fans (like.. myself :() have to wait for the official release. Why did you use up a code?

Don't think thats going to happen. Also, I heard the elites are really underpowered compared to spartans. I'll look for the article.

Dude, Im sorry but thats just asinine. Halo Wars is a fantastic console RTS, plenty of lore and a great story. Dont knock it till you've tried it.
