Halo: Reach
 

I was able to get a key to the Friends & Family beta for this game, its pretty much perfection.

I admit I pretty much think all console FPS games are shit. Halo has always been the only FPS franchise on the consoles that could hold a candle to my favourite PC franchises.

Halo: Reach feels like a sequel to the original Halo more than the 2 & 3 (both I always thought were missing something), but fresh with additions such as customizable special ability which you get to chose from 1 of 4 different abilities (invisibility, jet pack, sprint, or armor lock) or the fact that elites and spartans now differ in size and abilities. Weapon and map wise the game takes inspiration from Halo 1 with the weapon of choice being the pistol.

Matchmaking and UI has been greatly improved, with matchmaking putting you in a match within 20-30 seconds a huge improvement from Halo 3 where it would take 2-3 minutes at the minimum.

its Bungies last hurrah to the Halo franchise, they might as well go out with a bang

been looking at the new features of the multiplayer, im excited

Halo 3 quickly felt dated as an FPS with the amount of games that came out after MW and Crysis came out and in the past 2 and half years..

at least you can "run" now lol

Halo is now Quake 3! :p
I can't believe they didn't do this sooner.

cant wait for the beta yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

i was always skeptical about the halo series and always thought it was overhyped as a quake rip-off
however, this game looks quite promising compared to other halo titles

I loved the AR in the first Halo (in 3 it sounded pussy as fuck), and my buddy got his hands on a beta invite the day of its release. The other new weapons (needle rifle...) and Armor Abilities are pretty sick too.

I'll be checking this out for sure.

I've played a lot of q3 back in the day (still do quake live) never made the connection lol

anyways halo has always been "that" console fps for me, reach is outstanding from what I've played

the new assassination melee's fucking own, sneaked up behind a jetpack dude using the invisi-camo

one more night sickkkkkkkkkkk

looks like it's going to be a sick game can't wait

I love halo multiplayer. Wasted 100's of hours, however I've never bothered putting more than 1 hour into campaign. So is this multiplayer gonna be a bunch of masterchiefs going at it or more like the last halo release (which ive never played lol).

just wondering would renting it get me a cd key or buying it?

You can play it as long as you have the ODST disc in, or if you have a beta code.

at least it looks like their forcing one side play spartans and one side play elites on some game modes

its always saddening that the elites were way overlooked as your avatar character on halo 2 and 3 multiplayer

they mention that elites are obviously taller and bigger than spartans but mentioned that they manage to balance 2 characters out that really subtle differences

Has anyone been able to connect with their servers????

I can't even get the playlist to download....

Servers are being really retarded right now. I've been on for about 2 hours and I've only played 5 games..

dam anyone elss playing
pretty sickkkkkkkkkk

meh its ok.

i think ill be more into it once i change my controller settings into cod style :)

It's pretty fun. Very different from the original Halo trilogy multiplayer though. Good thing there's an option to switch back your controls to the Halo 3 layout.

too bad im banned :(

Halo 3 controls blew. I like the melee button where it is now in Reach. Much easier to beat with, instead of letting a control stick go to press b.
