Halo Reach Thread

[Smashing Pumpkin]

I haven't really been up to date on Halo: Reach but so far it looks like you can pick classes (to balance the game I assume) and you're still able to pick up any weapon right?

Right, but you can choose a loadout at the beginning of the match. These are sets of primary/secondary weapon plus grenades and armour aility that are chosen by Bungie. In Invasion your loadouts change providing you with bigger better weaponry as the game goes on. Vehicles also update in Invasion to unlock better stuff later on.

You will never be THIS good at Halo: Reach

He knows exactly what weapons to use. He knows exactly what class to choose. He knows when to toss a grenade, where to take cover and how to pull off every headshot. The Halo: Reach multiplayer beta doesn't even begin for another week, and this guy is already light years ahead of you.

Why? Because his name is Luke Smith, he's a designer at Bungie and he helped create those weapons, classes and maps. Plus, he's had a lot of practice. Fortunately for the rest of us, this multiplayer master agreed to share his strategies with GamesRadar during a recorded match last week.

Watch, listen and learn:

[Smashing Pumpkin]

letdown? :/

Nah they released a looooooooad of gameplay footage in prep for the beta, throw in some theatrical trailers for the crack, turn up the heat on the epic stove.

Should be some class trailers for the actual narrative game release rather than just the crazy matchmaking side :)

Halo: Reach - Birth of a Spartan video is up on Xbox Live, 134.17MB :)

This installment seems to be shaping up rather well. I'm not 100% sold on Reach, though it does look good, seems to play well while adding a bit more to an aging franchise.

[Razorwing]

Psh I can take him.

yup he can. :laugh:

[Wanderermy]

Extend live action trailer.

[Green_Eye]

it's just a few days early.. lol.. thinking about it.. the real game does not even have a release date yet.

A few days early means a few more days extra of playing. It's only available until 5/17 so if I can squeeze in more play time, then I'm happy. Game is set for Fall 2010, so what's your point?

[Sethos]

Does anyone know whether Bungie will be handing out codes through other means or is this restricted to the ODST Beta?

[Cupcakes]

From what I've read everywhere access will be by the ODST disc and not by any other means unless you happen to get a hold of a code from people/companies giving 'em away. Otherwise there are no restrictions to this eg: invite only. ODST disc means you're in.

[Sethos]

Okay, thanks - Guess I won't be testin' out this baby then :(
