Halo Reach Beta!

[samsaBEAR]

I like Halo 3, but it kinda gets boring after a couple of hours. I don't know if it's because Reach is a new game, or because I'm just excited about playing a different game, but Reach just seems to be a lot more fun to play online. That double melee is a total ***** though, reminds me too much of the double melee in GoW 2

How can Halo 3 be better than Halo Reach? They are basically putting Halo 3 and all halo games together with a few extras. So that means forge etc, but even better! Makes me laugh how people can say that.

Maybe people dont WANT those extras? Maybe people DONT WANT jetpacks and sprinting 'perks'

Why do you think people played halo 2 till it was shut down?

To quote myself.

"Halo Reach.

Six hour or less campaign.

Copypasta multiplayer with odd elements a la MW2.

People will like it anyway a la MW2."

Your point is fair, but there is no gain in Bungie just repackaging Halo 3 with a new engine/graphics and a new story. Considering this is Bungie's last game, they might as well go all out and add in cool stuff and what not.
The new additions to multiplayer are the things pushing me to pre-order this, usually I just wait for it to get cheaper, I'm sure I'm nto the only one

Not sure what I think about Invasion. I love the idea of a more tactical online mode, but it's kinda getting boring already. I hope in the actual game there are different types of objectives to go for rather than the same sort of thing.
I also hate the pairing up aspect. I know it's meant to promote team work, but if I'm dead I want to get back into the action to help attack/defend, I don't want to see my 'team mate' teabagging people.

I'm with Chris, Halo Reach is just a failure, it's not Halo it's Call of Duty Meets the Spartans, jet packs are stupid, the EMP pack whatever it's called is just plain damn stupid, I'm not that good at Halo but that ability made it unbelievably easy to get kills, the sprints pretty decent but it's just stupid that adding more to your character is required for it to run faster and the stealth failed as it was, having it as a button any moron can freely press just adds to how stupid it was.

Halo 1, 2, 3 and ODST > Reach.

Shame, it had so much potential, it's not even something I'm going to buy now.

Also "Invasion" I loved the idea but then I heard it was familiar to a game type I despised in Unreal Tournament 3 and it sounds like a cheap knock off of what Battlefield has ALWAYS been, sorry Bungie but this game is just a fail.

People need to realise it's just a beta and it could be fixed. Plus, it isn't Halo 4. It's Halo: Reach it's bound to be different, it'll appeal to some people and then others will hate it. The only issue I have is the Assault Rifle is terrible, and you'll go positive using spring and meleeing people rather than using guns.

Grenades need nerfing, I love the customization of the load-outs (on the full game you'll get different loadouts per map for example a big map you'll get snipers etc)

Fair point, I do love the idea of tons more classes and obviously the complete armour customisation, but little things like double melee and the grenades kinda annoy me.
