Re: Halo Reach Beta
^awww
you'll get one some day (hopefully before the beta expires)
Ya they screwed up the servers. I love the game though. The one of a few things that bothers me is the shields appearance. I like to take screenshots, and quite frankly, the shields don't look very nice.

I hatehatehatehatehate the new AR. Worse than the old one.
The DMR and Needler Rifle are great, and the Plasma Cannon is beast.

Re: Halo Reach Beta
I need to get ODST so I can play it. All I have are Halo's 1, 2 and 3, not ODST or whatever the heck that other game was. Overall, did anyone think that game wasn't fun?

Re: Halo Reach Beta
Opinions on maps, abilities and weapons.
Sword base is fun but not as good as others, and a little lopsided to whoever gets the Plasma Cannon or is Defense. Liked it but didn't love it.
Powerhouse is an all around spiritual successor to Highground. Very enjoyable.
Abilities:
Evade is very useful and I find the noise the elite makes when rolling as amusing.
Sprint is kind of lackluster, don't use it very often, good for getting out of a rockets path.
Armor Lock is useful, people say it is over powered, you just have to use your brain and time a grenade and stay away from him. But for the user it is very useful, it has saved me from many rockets and grenades.
Active Camo is perfect for sniping and ambushing.
The Jetpack is good for quick bursts but leaves you a target, I use it wisely but it is my favorite class.
WEAPON opinions.
AR, same as the Halo 3 one, in short not bad, but the pistol is better.
Pistol, good power, descent range, can take on the AR or the DMR in a fight so plenty useful.
Plasma Pistol is more useless than ever but looks really cool.
Plasma Repeater, I hate it, it seems less than useful against people with semi-automatic weapons.
Needler seems too nerfed.
Plasma Cannon is an excellent "Super weapon"
The Rocket is a rocket
Sniper feels beautiful.
Shotgun is more effective than ever.
Grenades are useful as hell, but the carry limit is painful.
Focus rifle is good, but not too good.
Energy sword is the same, works and feels good.
DMR/Needle rifle, both are cool, but I prefer the Needle Rifle because of the Supercombine abilities and look.

Re: Halo Reach Beta
Meh, probably not gonna rent ODST to play anymore. I was gonna play with a friend but hes being an ass of late so I'm probably not going to.
So on an overall scale, good? Average? What?

Re: Halo Reach Beta
I think it's really good fun, but I detest the number of people moving from CoD to this.
Camping? Really? There was camping in Halo 3, sure, but not to the level I've seen so far in Reach.

Re: Halo Reach Beta
Oh god, they are moving to that too? They all seemed to move to Bad Company aswell. They should start making penalties for camping. Such as your Xbox red rings. Just for the lulz.

Re: Halo Reach Beta
Urgh there was a jerk camping at our flag capture place with a shotgun (that is now very effective) so we lost the round. I HATE Sword Base with a passion, it makes me want to curl up in a ball and cry.

Re: Halo Reach Beta
i love it
but there are a few things i dont like:
armour cost to much, its also BS to have to by BOTH shoulder armour separate
sprint needs to last a little longer
neede rifle is a little on the weak side IMO
in theater mode then you go in free fly cam there is to much motion blur
you can swing the grav. hammer way to fast
i have spoken
