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.

http://i41.tinypic.com/16j0tgp.jpg

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

[FN-2199]

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

cant wait for the beta yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[twitchyzero]

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

[CorneringArtist]

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

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

[vafanculo]

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).

On Monday, May 3, 2010, the Halo®: Reach Multiplayer Beta lands on Xbox LIVE®. All you need to participate is an Xbox LIVE Gold account, the Halo 3: ODST campaign disc, and approximately 1.2GB of free hard drive space.

To download the beta, just follow these easy steps:

1. Insert the Halo 3: ODST campaign disc and launch the game.
2. Select “Play the Beta” from the main menu. (You won’t see this choice prior to May 3.)
3. The first time you do this, Halo 3: ODST will need to download the beta from Xbox LIVE Marketplace. You’ll see the window below, and you’ll need to select “Confirm Download.
4. When the download has finished, choose “Continue.”
5. You’ll be taken back to the Halo 3: ODST main menu again. Select “Play the Beta” once more.
6. Now that you’ve successfully downloaded the beta, selecting “Play the Beta” will launch the game, instead of downloading it.
7. Enjoy helping us test Halo: Reach, and get that pre-order in so you’ll be ready when the game ships this Fall!

Note: If you received an early invitation to participate in the exclusive Halo: Reach Beta, additional information will start arriving the week of May 3rd. Due to the volume of participants, it may take 48 hours or more for you to receive your token. Be sure to check your email.
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

[vexor]

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

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

[FN-2199]

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

[hal0g0dv2]

dam anyone elss playing
pretty sickkkkkkkkkk

[Vansterdam]

meh its ok.

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

[palepilsenpin0y]

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.

[invader]

too bad im banned :(

[FN-2199]

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.

Don't fail me...
but i played the full game and beat it yesterday on my modded xbox.
It sucks to be honest.
Really boring compared to other halos

[invader]

what are you talking about. The mission where you're flying in space was fun. It's something new to Halo that you never played before in the series.

[FerrariEnzo]

i was never into the Halo series..

[_Hotsauce_]

Bump

review below, 9.5 score....so stoked to play this now.

Mutliplayer is where the replay value is that....single player is always a once off unless going back for unlocks imo.

Do they have a Lonewolves multi mode like 3?

fuck halo reach is sickkkkkkkkk

Not really into the whole Sci-fi shit, so that says something about it since I like it.

[Delerious]

easily the best halo yet, I wonder what bungie has in the mix for future? Surely they can't give up their cash cow! Perhaps go back to the insurrection days?

[palepilsenpin0y]

Best multiplayer FPS game of all-time in my opinion. Loads of fun!

Am I the only one who HATES the current Reach melee system though? It seems really imbalanced and very different from the other Halo games in terms of matchmaking.

I was hesitant at first to get the game but I got it a couple days ago. Wasn't really sure if I was going to like but I said f it and bought it anyways.

From what I've played, I like it a lot better than halo 3 hands down. Everything just feels so much better than Halo3. I didn't play it religiously but I played it enough, but reach is by far better for me.

Loving the Swat mode from team slayer, I rock with the DMR. Been working on the Legendary campaign though with my friend, almost finished just 3 more missions.

Halo Reach has honestly gotten me back into gaming on my 360 lol, I haven't played seriously in a while on my consoel, first time in like 2 years I've been spending like 3-4hours a night just playing. Bye bye GPA.

[ScizzMoney]

Haven't touched the game since I bought it on launch day. Just doesn't do it for me for some reason, cannot really explain why.

[Vansterdam]

man.. single player legendary mode is retarded


did anyone here manage to beat the story single player on legendary without dying yet?

lol i want that mask!

I think it's fine. The fact that Halo 3 was so centered around melees was what made me hate the game so much. It was all ARs and beats every which way you look.
I think they brought back the Halo 2 feeling of getting a melee kill. It's a little more often that it happens compared to Halo 2, but it's just as satisfying.

Also, bullet>fist. Makes sense to me!

Edit:

I did it solo on Legendary, and it was a BITCH!

[palepilsenpin0y]

^ Ah you do have a point. The AR was being abused all too much in Halo 3 so I guess I should be thankful that died down a bit. Gotta love the DMR and Magnum in Reach eh?


As for completing the game on solo Legendary, I finished it too. Took me around 16 hours all-in-all. Quite frankly, it was probably the hardest game I've ever played.


Lastly, for finishing a level on legendary without dying, I got that by completing mission 1 on legendary (The "Welcome to Reach" cutscene). Haha got Carter's helmet as an avatar reward just by doing so. You should have gotten it too actually :D

[hal0g0dv2]

that is nutty ^^^

thanks for the tip :)

[_Hotsauce_]

Played it for a few hours on the weekend and I'm diggin it, take abit of getting used to all the new abilities and shit but it's pretty good.

[gdoh]

shits kinda gay beat it on legendary one saterday i dont like that u can kill each other at same time like when u bash some1 and they do same and you both die

iono never really was a halo person i like cod better

[J-Chow]

After playing COD, i totally got raped on multiplayer as this game as little to no recoil to their weapons lol.

But I realized you don't really need to use your scope in this game. Unless sniping. Love the new assasination kills, and the new classes for slayer games is sick.

[Jaay90]

this game is fucking epic man

[JayDaMan]

legendary doesnt have a different ending.. :(

[palepilsenpin0y]

Heads up guys, make sure you finish through the credits (regardless of what difficulty you completed it in) as there is.... bonus content afterward. If you've skipped the credits right after mission 10, go back to your mission list and check back what you've missed.

Most of you already know this, but I'm sure at least one of you did not ;)

[JayDaMan]

whatever amazing game anyways

Hey just tried it again now with my other gamer profile. Didn't work either.

Strange, I got it the first day it got released the moment I started the campaign on Legendary. Unlocked Carter's helmet right after the cut-scene. Bungie probably patched that or something. My apologies for the false hope bro!
