Reach, REACH, REAAACH!!!...(beta)

[timfoss]

So, anyone else here very anxiously awaiting the release of the Halo: Reach beta? According to bungie it should be any time now!

[RedShadow]

As far as I know, It has been out for a while.

[Megadeth101]

Got Released Today :D but you have to have odst in order to play it =/

[timfoss]

It juuuust got released here. (2pm). Downloadin the beast now!

[Lysdestic]

I've wanted to try it, but I don't have ODST. Never been a huge Halo fan, though I am eager to see how this one turns out.

[timfoss]

It's pretty damn sweet, it's starting to be a bit like MW2, but not too much. Got load outs now, which are friggin awesome.

I remember when Halo was the big online fps. I don't play MW2, or any fps for that matter anymore, but I might get this whenever it comes out since I skipped 3 and ODST and would be a big improvement to what I remember in Halo 2.

Halo still is the biggest online FPS game and has the biggest community. Also, after a bit of playing, I can honestly say this game looks great, but not as good as H3 and not nearly as good as H2.

Also, found this interesting story online, definitely check it out if you were sad to see Halo 2 go. Apparently a few people are still on Halo 2, as long as they don't leave their game they will stay connected. IT's been slowly dwindling down as more people have been getting disconnected, Xboxes were overheating and power outages. It's been almost 3 weeks now and its down to about 5 or 6 people!

Are you honestly comparing the graphics to halo 2 and saying it looks worse? lolno.

Also, sure is motion blur effects out the ass alongside adaptive AA. Both of these effects are absolute porcupine .

Um, no. I'm comparing the gameplay, how fun it is, and overall how good of a game it looks like it'll be.

I understand you're talking about gameplay, so...
Hahahahahaha.
Seriously, How can any FPS of this kind (The kind that its gameplay is only affected by the number of weapons and "habilities" your caracter has) possibly get worse? It's the same thing with every **** game. Just with added weapons and ****. I frankly don't understand that.

Oh, when I said "looks great" I wasn't talking about graphics, I mean like "It looks like it's going to be a great game".

It's more than just shooting at people, 80% of the players on Halo are there for recreational games. People make up all sorts of custom mini games and ****. When Halo 2 came out people got bored with just killing so they made stuff like Tremors, Lava Man, Zombies ect...

You mean like PC gamers have been doing with StarCraft since 1998?

On topic, I never could get into Halo... just seemed very, blah, when I played it.

There actually different than CoD's load outs. The weapons are just standard like in the other games, just load outs for things called armor abilities. (jet packs, running, camo ect...)
