There aren't any good Reach BTB maps anyway. Headlong maybe, but loljetpack.
headlong is an anniversary map, not reach. and they removed the anniversary BTB playlist ages ago??

Is it toggled then?
or maybe they have created the best Halo ever and know it will review amazingly well.
yep, I'm going with door number 2.

BJ has Sprint on A and Armor Abilities on X. Don't know about Recon.
Yeah, just like Reach.

Also a possibility, but I'm leaning more towards door 1.
Edit: I'm not saying it's going to be a bad game, I just think MS isn't likely to allow it to have bad reviews, at any cost.
yeah, keep telling yourself that these changes are going to make matchmaking players who fuck around suddenly become cooperative team players.
i don't mind having a shit team but changes like these lower my chances of winning a game when you have to rely on whatever team you're matched up with.
All of the shit this week and you seriously believe anything with this kind of budget is going to get honest reviews? Come on, man.

God, and then 343i will use this "data" as proof of what people wanna play and build new playlists considering this. It baffles me.

Oh, thought I saw Sprint on X in those pictures. My mistake.
Yeah, I said exactly this earlier. I'm very eager to see tomorrow's reviews.
Is it definitely the entire embargo, and not just an IGN review?
As far as I know, Recon has sprint on X and Armor Ability on LB.
I wish that was reversed, but I can deal.

Ex-fucking-zactly...
I've been at work all day and I'm just now starting the stream, fattening up on Mt. Dew and Doritos, and I'll still never be as much of a joke as that gametype, and most especially, that map.
Video impressions to come later...

Thats exactly when i stopped playing.
Amazing map, and its pretty much gone. And so was i.
edit: whoever makes the Reach playlists at 343i is doing a horrible job.

reach is both toggle and hold its up to you, either tap it or hold it.
what about standard controls? AAs are on LB still? where's sprint ? LS?
Fixed, because who doesn't?
And unfortunately FFA in this game looks to be just regicide, which sucks.

Yeah, I wish Bumper Jumper had AAs on the right bumper and melee... somewhere else. But I can also deal.
Yes and yes.
Edit : All final control schemes can be seen here.

Yeah I know, I think we voted one time with Moa, Louis Wu etc and I was shocked.
But yeah with HaloGaf it is ok, then we do it for Fyre.
People who don't care what map they play on as long as it's Heavies. :/
SWAT on Swordbase is still the best Halo MP I've experienced since Halo CE Beaver Creek.
Fixed that for you.

So, I have only one question. Has no campaign theater been confirmed? The OT says they're out, but I haven't heard any official confirmation yet, so I'm still clinging to some scraps of hope.
I'm going to be incredibly disappointed come launch day.

I was actually rolling with a group of 5 in Reach Team Objective the other night and we steamrolled at least 6 games of Oddball Sword Base. At least one shut-out and the other team didn't score above 50 in most of the others. Oddly satisfying.
Info about SWAT, CTF, custom games, etc:

SWAT in Reach is a blast

So I hear you like to hold one location for a very long time.
SWAT in Reach is beyond amazing. It's all I've played in Reach MP for the last year.
Same. If there is someone who can watch the whole way through what browser are you using?
Yes, the game guide on Waypoint site says "Theater is available for War Games" (paraphrasing). That pretty much confirms it.
Holy shit, very generous of you Homeboyd. I'll remember that in the future and try to do something similar.

That's literally every match on Sword Base, except Oddball (The way HaloGAF plays it). We play it ironically to show how broken it is.
EDIT: Stream archive stopped for me now too (around 11:00). Awesome. FML

Yeah, it's one of the better playlists in Reach. Bloom is a lot less annoying when you can get one shot kills. But if you miss that first shot...
I play Anniversary Slayer and SWAT pretty much exclusively in Reach. Probably will play Team Slayer more often on Halo 4 now with fucking armor lock and DMR bloom (well, almost) gone haha
You're fucked basically.
That's what makes it great. It's pure and it forces you to improve or die.
Fucking love it.

They let sites review Forza Horizons really early as well. They know they have a solid product, so why wait I guess. Worked out well for Forza, at least for me. It wasnt on my radar until those reviews hit.
Same here, it's just so satisying. No radar makes sneaking up really fun and assassinations truly come out of nowhere, sprint really helps the pace of these no shield fights and keeps things quick. Love it.
