Saw this video last night and figured it was time to start a thread for this game. The multiplayer looks damn impressive.

This game is gonna be sweet! It looks they really put alot more effort into making more types of Multiplayer modes. Not too sure about the special things you can get, like jetpack or the any other effects. I can see those being game changers and making ppl OP. New guns look amazing too! Cannot for the release!

Yeah this game is gonna be a definite pick up...Can't wait. I'm a little interested in seeing more footage as it looks like a LOT of quick 1 shot kills with the new BR or whatever its called.

Obviously this is still in beta so things will probably change...but the assault rifle is the same as in 2 and 3. You basically unload an entire clip to kill someone. The new BR weapon is pretty sweet though. Only 12 bullets per clip, but if u can headshots and can knock someone down in 2-3 hits. Otherwise it will take about 4-6 shots to kill someone. The new Needler Rifle is similiar to the BR rifle, but takes a few more shots...but the normal Needler still is spam away to get a kill. Other weapons seem a bit underpowered (like the sword...can take 2-3 hits to kill someone if you don't get a lunge kill) or overpowered (like the shotgun...ive been 1-shot with a shotgun from 15-20ft+ away).

The new special abilities really make the game though. The way you use your special ability can really make or break a fight. Reach is alot more strategy involved then the pure point-shoot-spam of Halo 2 and 3. I absolutely love Reach so far.

So the gametype Invasion came out this weekend for Beta testing. My first thoughts is that it is a great gametype. Elites vs Spartans...and you can play as normal Invasion or as a huge Slayer. After a few days of playing, the Spartans have the advantage in just about everything. The Elites are a bit stronger, but the Spartans start with the new BR while the Elites start with the Needler or Plasma gun (neither have a scope like the BR does). On top of that, the Spartans start with the high ground in normal Invasion, while in Slayer they start closer to every reinforcement area.

It's a great gametype, but Bungie needs to fix it and make it more fair.

Well the Halo Reach Beta ends today. Overall, the game is amazing...alot better then Halo 3 multiplayer. There are obvious flaws still in the game, but this was only beta. The last few days were very laggy, which totally destroyed the game play since guys would basically "teleport" from one side of a room/map to another.

If you are a Halo fan this is a must buy for you. You will be very happily surprised with the changes that Bungie has made. I cannot wait for the release to start playing again. Going back to Halo 3 until then will be like a downgrade after playing Beta.
