Beta in FOUR days, and game release in five months!!! Discuss
Ready for the beta!
You can play as long as you have ODST, correct?
Not playing beta, not playing beta, not playing beta...... etc
I have been telling myself this the past couple months. I never played the beta for Halo 3, nor will I give in and play this one. I will suck it up and wait til September release.
Too bad the beta starts on Monday.
I might try a little Halo 3 this weekend for a change though.
Can't wait for Monday
I never got the whole Halo thing... I was never too impressed with it. It seemed very redundant to me.
What's really bad/sad is that Microsoft yanked Halo 2 from online services. Although there wasn't a huge fan base for 2 anymore, it was still a change to pop it in and play it.
Halo 2 hit it big on consoles in '04...The first Halo was good for local games and system linking. It did it's job for the console FPS. As far as great FPS goes, Counterstrike gets my bid.
Halo revolutionized the multiplayer FPS on consoles. The first expanded upon what Goldeneye and Perfect Dark started for the N64, while Halo 2 gave a huge boost to online play.
I personally think Halo "revolutionized" nothing. It was a simple FPS that became big because it was the best (and one of the only) FPS' at the time that supported online play so it blew up because Live was just starting to become very popular.
Today is the day
Sadly the beta will only last 17 days
Lets give Bungie a hand. Not even 4 hrs into the beta and the servers already crashed
44% downloaded. Should be done when I get back home in a few hours!
When does Reach even take place? After H3 or before H1 and H2
Haha....crashed already.
Hopefully it will be fixed by Wednesday night.
Didn't get to play a game today. Due to the long load times. And every time i got into the game it wouldn't load the maps.
Really loving Halo Reach. Way better than halo 3
First impressions:
Pros: Sprinting, STOCKPILE, new and improved needler and magnum, better graphics, maps (so far),
Undecided: Active Camo, jetpacks, reticule widening
Cons: Frag nades are WAY overpowered, fall damage is pointless and annoying, armor lock, no battle rifle
So far, I still like halo 3 better, but Reach is still alot of fun!
The more i play. The more i feel bungie is going the same way IW went. Great platform and idea. Just to noobie and flawed. I know its just the beta. But a ton of things need to be fixed.
Man, I didn't care for the BR much in Halo 3 but I find myself missing it here.
I actually enjoy Team SWAT with the DMR; I never tried the mode much in Halo 3.
I am getting tired of the same ole' maps over and over again. I'm undecided.
Not necessary at all. Thanks. I see you play battlefield 2, how can you go from that to HALO. COD is the only FPS that is worth a ........
\p.s. pposting a kill death ratio under 1 is very noble lol.
Lol at the need to call it edit!.
It's a game, if you don't like it - fine. But don't get all over other people for enjoying it.
People this is a topic to talk about Halo reach. If you want to go start flame wars please go some were else.
I have to agree, Cody. I'm undecided right now. I probably will get it since my friends will be playing it along with new COD. At first i was really excited for it. But as i played more i saw that it not as great as i thought.
I really wish they put more maps in the beta. 2 just isn't enough to get a good feel for the game.
XBOX SUCKS!! XBOX SUCKS!!
Folks i'm not sure what people have problems reading thread titles. This is not a thread for flaming or hating on consoles this is for Halo Reach only. If you don't like it please post what you don't like in a civil manner.
I'm not sure what to think of Reach anymore.
I'm not a HUGE reach fan so far, but you have to keep in mind that this is still a beta. There will be more maps, playlists, CUSTOM GAMES , forge, campaign, etc. I'll still buy it the day it comes out, but I don't think I'll ever like it more that Halo 3.
Soooo, who's seen the new Forge World vidoc? I must say, I'm now about 10x more excited for this game
In recent news I wanted to play some MLG matchmaking on H3 and my xbox is red ringed. Yeah im mad haha. Excited to play Reach!
Only 10 days till reach. I decided to go ahead and get. Can't wait to play it
Will probably pick this up, haven't played Halo since it came out on xbox.
Yep, will be at the midnight release, but will arrive around 12:30....Don't feel like listening to the jibber jabber. Playing Co op campaign all night though with couple friends. Can't wait to see what we're getting into!
xbox sux ps3 rules!
I won't get it, at least for a while.
I WANT to, but I just bought Borderlands and got $90 worth of product coming in from Blowout.
Anyone up for some Reach tonight (around 10:15-10:30 PM Central)?
I would definitely be down to game, but I have work at 9pm-5am eastern time. I'll be on most of the afternoon on Sunday though.
And reach has turned in to ###### me off.
Reach has been AMAZING. I've been destroying online (1.72 KDR) and firefight is way better than it was in ODST. If anyone wants to play, I'll be on tomorrow night!
Still only played campaign so far
Reach is great so far.
For some reason, the multiplayer seems improved over Halo 3. The basic running speed seems a little faster, and I like the DMR/Needle Rifle. I have also improved with the sniper since Halo 3.
As for the campaign, it's ok but hasn't reached Halo 1 levels for me. Currently, I'm stuck on the 3rd mission where I have to defend Jun by the Covenant spire/generator thing (Heroic).
I also toyed with Firefight last night. My first match was amazing in that I did not die once in 12 minutes. I was also tops for my team (and we "won").
By the way, post a link to Bungie.net profile. This can be fun just to see how good you are in comparison to other TCCers.

Been trying to finish the campaign on Legendary by myself and it is WAY harder than I would have thought. Got 4/9 missions so far.
This game is amazing.
Two levels from completing the campaign on Heroic. I played the first five on solo, and 6-8 with mvpujols#5 on co-op.
Last night I finally completed the campaign on Heroic.
I died. A lot.
But, I played through the second mission (Winter Contingency) on Legendary last night and completed it without dying.
You need to get your Firefight scores up. Especially on Score Attack....It's getting old beating your score .
I finished the co-op campaign on Legendary with a friend of mine. Now attempting to finish the solo campaign on Legendary. Should be . . . interesting.
I'm not a big fan of the Live experience. I still prefer the COD Live experience over the Halo series.
Oz
cus anything from ODST completely blew.
