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.

It gets really old when people say that Halo is a legendary FPS. It is popular, and that is it. It is not a revolution, and spawned nothing new for the gaming world.

It didn't change much. but it really helped started online multiplayer on consoles.

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

Man I loved goldeneye back then, that game was awesome

Haven't played Halo since the first one, but this one i will be getting

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

I think before Halo 1

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.

1v1 me then

LOL wow. I bashed Halo, but at least I was civil about it.

I guess there's always a reason to be angry when your a Raiders fan...

+1

Even though I enjoy Halo, you indeed are very civil about your bashing and I respect you for that

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!

looks cool i still don't think i will get it

That sucks

On a positve note, I'm excited to see what MLG will come up with in Reach as far as the playlist goes.

Yeah I used to be pretty into H3 MLG and pretty good at it too (local tourneys, etc). I dont know how much I want to play Reach as much as I just want it because i'm a big Halo fan haha

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.

lol I probably shouldn't either, just got madden 11 on ps3 and before that god of war 3 and red dead redemption for ps3 as well a couple months ago.

Haven't even played RDR yet

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.
