Halo: Reach Beta

Okay, I think that the beta is pretty sweet. I've found some graphical glitches, but overall, it is a pretty sweet game. Post your comments about the beta and vote!

Yes, I've played the Beta, and so far, I've enjoyed it except for a few things:
1. Grenade Power and Splash Damage is completely rediculous. Halo doesn't have Danger Close as a perk, grenades need to be fixed.
2. DMR isn't the replacement for the BR I was looking for. Even though it's the probably the best non power weapon released as of yet, it feels like it doesn't kill as quickly as the BR.
3. No direct incentive for obective playing. Although you do get extra points in the end game for playing the objective, many people don't know this, and many of the people who do know like to exploit glitches involving the objectives. There should be a more direct point system, that shows you the extra points you get while in game so players are encouraged to try and capture flags, or whatever other objective gametypes they might be playing.
4. The crosshairs aren't dark enough. Often, especially while I'm shooting for the hip, I loose track of where my crosshairs are because of their light coloring. I've died many a time only because of not knowing exactly where I was shooting.

yeah i liked the original br in halo 3. the new bmr (or dmr whatever) doesnt kill as fast at all. also the grenades kill way too fast. i have full health and someone throws a grenade at me and i die. -.- it just shouldnt be like that. hopefully they fix those issues in the real game . also, i hav noticed a few graphical issues, so they should notice those and fix those as well.

I don't have ODST to try it wish i did but i heard its gonna be way better than halo 3. XD

The gernades needs some improvements and so does the guns >.>

yeah the grenades, again, are way too powerful. i dont see why the guns need any improvements though. i wish they had kept the original battle rifle (br) because that was one of my favorite weapons

Ya, i like it.It`s awesome!

Well, I'm glad that every one here likes it for the most part! :happy: Lets all just hope that the real game is better!

I enjoyed it, sad to see it go. But being t-bagged by anooying 12 year olds playing it was not so fun.

The beta is pretty cool, apart from the new abilities which have been added, i Think they will completly ruin the halo environment, and the BR sucks !

Lol you said the beta was cool but you said the game will suck?

The game hasn't come out yet. So you're saying the BETA was the best thing ever?

Little changes from the beta to the actual game except tweaks and gameplay fairness. I had a blast with my friends for the time being it went on and I know that the FULL game will be extremely similar but more fair and with much more content. If they give us all that they gave us in halo 3 then from what I've seen, yes this beats out MW2 and Bioshock. (FPS)

Beta was extremely fun and I can't wait until they improve it and release it!
