Halo: Reach Beta Thread

Kind of random, but does anyone know where the music from the fictional documentary about the "Museum of Humanity" comes from?

I feel like I'm in Jesse Jackson's Rainbow Coalition. Total equality isn't always better. Power weapons are named so for a reason. Regardless of how you feel about H3 snipe, some of you have to admit it's strange to make it easier to get kills with grenades and rockets and harder with the sniper rifle.

How is that strange? Rockets and grenades go boom. Sniper does not.

I'll just echo previous posts by others by saying that, after waaay more 1 flag games on Powerhouse than I would have liked, I think that there should probably be some kind of window on the flag base.

Agreed. I think a small window high up on te base, only accessible by jetpack, would be just enough entrances to make it possible, but not
easy, to break a set-up.

And kibbles, those videos are sweet. I want to run a flag in a forklift now.

You clearly haven't seen me use the sniper ;)

But no I think he's talking about them in comparison to Halo 3.

I think the reason the sniper got harder to get kills with because all the other guns have as well. More specifically, the DMR. It takes more time in between accurate shots cross map than the BR did in Halo 2 and 3.

Once again, The Halo: Reach beta is expected it to go live Monday (May 3rd) in the early evening (GMT)/late afternoon (ET)/late am (PT) about 3 hours ago via TweetDeck

Neogaf needs tweet tags.

12noon PST would be a safe guess I guess.

Getting hyped. Watched hours of online footage of this game during the weekend. What is wrong with me.
 
Armor locking in tense situations is my favorite thing to do in the game. 1 flag games on Sword Base are the best for it. When you defend the flag spawn, there's an ebb and flow to using AL, protecting yourself from all kinds of stuff thrown your way, while also risking yourself by opening fire on the enemy at the right time. It's awesome.

Juggernaut...might be a tad overpowered.

Dude, if you have a video of yourself getting a killionare, show us that shit! I was wondering how my friend got a killamanjaro, then I played juggernaut and got a killtrocity on the second game :lol
 
Respawns are kinda bad on Powerhouse.

But more importantly, the respawn timer needs to increase by 1 to 2 seconds on objective based games, especially 1 flag.

Yeah, that is definitely that needs to be fixed. Your team kills the team and barely has time to get out of the base before they are on you again.

You mean that song from the Halo 3 commercial? Pretty sure it's Chopin's Prelude No. 15 in D Flat Major, Op. 28 "Raindrop" At least at ~1:50 seconds in it sounds like it.

EDIT: Nm, the Museum of Humanity video isn't the one that just shows the panorama of the 'battle for Earth'.

agreed... why can't they just say recoil, like every other normal person out there.
Click to expand...

Because it is the "bloom" of the reticule, not really recoil. The guns don't have a huge kickback or go all over the screen when you hold the trigger, just the reticule blooms and the bullets do.

I hate how the grenades wax in this game.

When they explode you can't hear anything else hence it sounds like you got a lot of wax in your ears.

TONE DOWN THE WAX ON THE GRENADES BUNGIE!

Whoever came up with "bloom" to describe the spread of fire is the stupidest person ever.

It's not describing the spread, it's describing that which is describing the spread. Bloom is when the reticle expands to indicate current bullet spread, not that a gun has a spread. If you can think of a better name than reticle bloom to describe that expansion, I'd be glad to hear it.

No, I mean from this making of thing. Wondering if it was written for this, or for something else, and if I can download/purchase it somewhere

Pulse. Throb. Expansion. Eruption... bloom is best.

To be fair, it seems like people were using the term "reticule bloom" which is much more accurate, but then people started shortening that down.
 
First time playig the mythic maps from my new odst disc and they are hella fun.

Pretty excited for reach tomorrow.

I also watched the vid doc, which was great.
