Halo Reach Beta

Archive: 13 posts


Didn't find any thread about the game.

So what do you (if any) think of the Reach Beta? Or if you've seen any gameplay. Or if you'd like to ask me any questions. I'm kinda bored.

I'm not a hardcore Halo player, but I've enjoyed the previous games. The Reach beta felt a bit strange at first, but after playing for about 3 hours the other day, I really started to get into it. The new armor abilities are pretty cool and really add some new strategy to the game. For example, armor lock is great for returning flags, or providing a distraction/shield for a teammate.

And while they do have the sprint ability, I kind of wish you could always sprint. It's a mainstay in so many games these days that it just makes Halo feel slow and outdated. I kind of wish they would up the speed of the Spartans to the speed of the Elites in Covie Slayer. That game type is fast paced fun! So, overall, I'm enjoying it so far. I'm not sure Reach will pull me away from Battlefield BC2, but it will take the place of Halo 3 in my game library.

Im going to sum it up in one sentence.

"It is the Halo that true Hardcore Bungie fans have been waiting for."

I'm not even gonna bother downloading it, it looks ****.

Which is pretty much the opinion of the forum i and around 30 other people use, we're all mates, and most of them are massive halo fans. Only 3 are buying.

I'm sticking to Forza.

Well I used to be very competitive in Halo 3. I had a team and we went to several MLG Events. I found Halo Reach to be completely different, I actually found it very frustrating. The DMR felt very sketchy and the Recoil Bloom was annoying as hell to get used to.

My third day playing the game and I am seriously kind of digging it. It takes a while to get used to but all the people that keep saying it's nothing like Halo 3 and it's crap just do not know how to adapt and learn to play in a different style.

There are plenty of bugs that still need to be addressed and the grenades need to be nerfed, and the melee system is garbage. Other then that I feel like it's a step up from Halo 3, it's like Halo 2 on Steroids, which is awesome.

I've seen lots of videos on the beta and it looks great, I wish I had gotten a code but I never saw ODST to be worth the money.

in Halo 3 I wasn't a fan of the competitive multiplayer, private games were fun enough But after MW2, I've liked more competitiveness, and I can bet I'll be playing a lot. And unlike MW2, I'll definitely try to have good stats, and arena rating.

Can't wait for the unveiling of Forge! It was a great idea in Halo 3 but it seemed to be made for mainly moving weapons and some crates, not making huge maps, and I bet they know we want a better one for making more complex stuff, just look at Sandbox. Oh, and custom games will probably be awesome too, in each Halo it gets better and better.

Oh trust me, being nothing like Halo 3 is a good thing. It's jsut not as good as BFBC2 or CoD2.

But i do racing games. Forza and soon F1 will be all i need anyways...

Speaking of which i need to change my name on here....

I bought ODST, how do I get the code?

Go on Halo 3 ODST (The singleplayer disk)
And on the menu at the bottom there is a download and you get on Reach from the ODST menu
