Halo: Reach Beta Thread

Taking a break to take care of some errands before getting back on.

Not to make anyone jealous, but it's really really fun.
Every weapon feels good to use. I feel like Sage balanced the sandbox really well, because every weapon has it's niche where it's absolutely amazing. And the power in each weapon made hitting somebody so good.
Each ability is has it's uses. I'm partial to sprint and camo, but they're all great.
I thought the jump height was lower, but not annoyingly so.
The CTF UI is confusing, but that's all I agree on with Ghaleon. The game feels like Halo evolved, and I've been loving every second of it.
Maybe vehicle combat in Invasion will change your mind, Ghaleon.

Misc.:
-Covie Slayer is amazing, Stockpile can be fun, Oddball and KOTH were both great, 3 Plots was great, Swat is buckets of fun
-Powerhouse is a good map, Sword base is awesome once you learn how to move around in it
-every little touch on the UI is beautiful. And the active roster is elegant and great to use.

If anyone cares, my first game of Reach ever. For the memories. And a random clip of Evade+Hammer in Covie Slayer. Bagel was pulling this off better on Sword Base with Evade and a Sword, but all it shows is that an elite with evade, tight quarters, and a CQC weapon is something to be feared.
 
Halo is melting the interweb once again:lol GAF is running slow, Twitter and Facebook are running slow, Expert Zone crashed, the code redemption page on Xbox.Com crashed...Only Halo can do be responsible for internet meltdowns like this:lol
 
SUCCESS!

THANK YOU EXPERT ZONE

I'M IN

Almost had a heart attack when the site worked after refreshing for the 100th time

Two things.

Recon controls FTW. Good lord that helped.

Covy Slayer: the shiznit. The shiznit I say!

So many moments of dodging out of the way and exacting revenge. And vice versa.

Shiznit!
Yeah. Covie slayer is a lot of fun. Love it.

you couldn't be more wrong I love covy slayer and the roll is fucking awesome
This man is right, Evade'n and nerfling feels soooooo gooood.

And the other thing I forgot to say: I tried Bumper Jumper for a good bit, then switched to Recon after being frustrated. Recon is an awesome scheme.
 
Expertzone just gives me an error even if I fresh sign in and use a different browser :(

If anyone can grab me a spare, I will thank you for the rest of my life.

I was so scared for a second when I went to my download cue and there was an error stating something to the effect of "This download is associated with another console". Luckily it's an easy fix!
