My xbox has the red ring. i havent played the beta at all. i will get my xbox back the day after the beta ends
-
Just had a thought... To add a wrinkle to the 3v3 for the release, what if the generator shields were susceptible to Guard EMPs? That would mean that a Spartan would not be able to activate his Guard Ability too close to the Generators or risk shortening the effect of the Lock Down. As the Elites do not have this ability it could not be deployed offensively! Just a thought!
-
This game is annoying because i got banned from it for leaving too many times when i left cuz of uber lagg

Once again, urk has captured yet another affair of stosh's parents. Maybe his mom will stop running up the street chasing his dad's truck on the way to work. X-D

Ok so i first saw the beta and everything and i was like well crap its gonna be like COD. Surprisingly it isnt but i am pretty pissed off that they took out the BR and havent put anything in to take its place. The Needle rifle is ok but nothing can beat the BR. The Sniper is pretty ballin though and thats a plus
-
i agree with your comment
-
Hi ! (I'm french so sorry for my bad englis..........) I love the beta( i play at the beta this wekkend) but i am a little dissapointed of the graphism anf of the manability of the vehicles. Other: I love the map "Boneyard" and "powerhouse" two of my favourite maps and I can't wait REACH more time
-
I've been playing the beta for a few days and its great!!! There are a few things i think should be added though. To make it more fun for the assassination thing you should make two specific to each load out. like the jet pack, if your on the ground you could take it off a set them on fire, in the air you do a pin drop on them to all the way to the ground. also anyone else remember that moment in halo 3 (first mission sierra 117)where Master chief sends a pistol through the Arbiters uhh... mouth... things. yeah you should in corporate that into the game. lastly melee kills aren't as fun to do as in halo 3 unless your close enough to assassinate mostly because you've gotten rid of the homing system you need to bring that back for the sword too.

Just tried out the beta. Thought it was very good. Had a lot of fun! Like usually i got pwned by everyone else but the speed of the game, power ups and weapons kept it fun. One thing i would suggest is changing the style of font or the size for like "someone" killed "someone" and through out the hud, i have a pretty new and good quality hdtv and 20/20 eyesight and could barely read it. Great job Bungie
-
I also wish that the different classes started out with different guns? it sucks trying to compete with your own teammates on who gets the different weapons around the spawning area.
-
Played the beta for the first two days after it came out before i lent my xbox over to another poor soul drooling at the chance to play the Beta. In the twenty some games i played the only thing i was upset about was when votes were tied on which game to play and it ALWAYS picked the top one on the list???? I was hoping it would start another vote. If anything was changed about this game the only thing i would suggest changing is that minor flaw in the case of draws.
-
I know its like 2 am but please open up the invasion servers already! please wtih cherries on tops?
-
oh and, spawning right next to THEIR ENTIER TEAM IS STUPID.
-
the beta is kool but, -frags r overpowered -plasmsas needs more kick -grenade launcher needs more power -invisiabily is kick just the way it is -armorlock has a delay inavtivation -someone asassained me while in armorlock -more varatiy of emblems and backgrounds,maybe star trek symbols -spartan armor for the avatars -recon armor for halo: reach -powerhouse needs a human sniper rife not focus rife -forge -spartan laser
-
totaly agree man the recoil in this game just defeats the whole purpose of playing halo and the fact that you can spawn with invisibility is just plain retarded. i guess there trying to make this game more like call of duty or something but this just isnt halo
-
is this where we're supposed to leave our feedback for the beta?
-
yeah this game is so awesome!!
-
I love the Beta but I think the grenades are a little too bigger.That's it not change guys ,you are too strong.
-
@ninjanaut625 The control layout is selectable in the settings. By default my layout was south-paw and had some of the other buttons screwed up. Go into the settings and selected "RECON". Everything was back to normal. I was relieved. Checkout the setting you should be able to fix it there. [Edited on 05.04.2010 5:11 PM PDT]

Okay so to start I would like to let you have been playing halo since marathon came out I have read all the books and I have beat all the games more times than I can remember just so you think I don't know what I am talking about. I recently have been playing the beta and am kinda disappointed with a few things one being the MA5B assault rifle, in the beta the new look is cool and all but it isn't how it was described in the books and every old school hard core halo player such as myself is probably upset over the fact that it looks nothing like the Halo CE assault rifle that is a major disappointment. Another thing is the controls I am having the hardest time adjusting to the melee controls because it was the "B" button since Halo CE that's a big change for me. Another weapon design problem I am kinda iffy about is the Plasma Rifle Why make it so big it was small in the books why not the game? that weapon is one that really shouldn't be changed. I have one more problem that is by far the absolute most annoying, when Bungie made the character class "Scout" I personally think it is by far the best class but why the hell would you re--blam!- your weapon every time you stop running. It is my favorite class because it is just awesome to be able to sprint long distances but in real life honestly does someone have to re--blam!- there weapon after every time they stop running? Didn't think so. Other than that I have one good idea, there was a weapon in the books that I have always wanted to see in the games and that's the MA5K why wouldn't you want that made in the game? Just a suggestion I have always liked the idea why wouldn't the next guy ya know? I absolutely love the graphics there out of this world I couldn't ask for more and I cant wait to see the vehicles I just really hope you keep the old school look of the warthog I don't think anyone wants that to change just like the MA5B and the Plasma Rifle has been the same since Halo CE. Oh and one last thing I think it would be really cool to add a melee weapon to have on your suit that you can use like a seal pup knife or some sort of tactical knife not only to use in the third person stealth kill mode. Other than that the game play is mint I love it and I know thousands of other halo fans will as well, Thank you for taking my thoughts into consideration. Oh and Great job I give it a 5/5 and I cant wait to play the campaign. Sincerely: ninjanaut625

The Reach Beta is a super fun blast so far. I am in love w/ the Jetpacks. So far everything seems to look and work great...just wish there was a gender chooser in the customization menu. I feel wierd playing as a dude when I'm a chick. LOL ^_^
-

just fyi i'm having tons of fun in the beta! i just hope that there are more armor customizations in the full game this fall. also, i realize that the elites are supposed to be able to run faster and jump higher, but the spartans jump more like an ODST than Master Chief. and i realize that at this point the reticule bloom isn't gonna be taken out, but it really doesn't make sense for spartans. if they can lift a warthog, you would think they would be strong enough to keep control of their gun. can't think of any other complaints. did i mention it's fun?
