I'm pretty sure Bungie said they'd be making no more Halo games after Reach. Only 343 Industries would have that right. They work for Microsoft of course, so...
fffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
You enter the code via the XBLM. It's like 1.2 GB. There's no "Halo: Reach beta" button/option on the ODST menu because it won't be available till late Monday morning.
I'm not the OP of this thread. I'll make a request.
Halo Reach is a main Halo game while ODST was more of a spin off so I'm pretty confident that Halo Reach will have a longer campaign.
You're going to complain about the length of a game on easy?
Still I'm pretty sure RE5 was about the same price as ODST and you can't run through that in 50 mins, even on easy.You're going to complain about the length of a game on easy?
Had you said hardest difficulty, with every challenge modifier turned on, and then said it took you 50 minutes and it was easy... I don't know if I'd believe you right away, but I pumped a good 6-7 hours my first playthrough on Heroic. ODST wasn't terrible. Everyone hated it because it wasn't MC. Oh noes! I'm not a super soldier! What will I do!
Not what I meant. I meant where do you get the option to download the beta. F8AL says you enter a code in the Marketplace, a friend of mine says it's in the ODST menu. I checked both after six o'clock GMT, but they're not there.
If you got a code to download the beta early, you'd have to enter it in the XBLM. If you have ODST, you can download the 1.15 GB beta from the ODST menu. ("Play the beta")
Last option in the ODST menu. Should launch into the beta.
Read my post again. I know that there should be an option to play it, but all that's there is a grayed out options tab. No mention of a beta whatsoever.
I've never had so much fun in a game. DO A BARREL ROLL's are sure to ensue.
A couple of the things listed in your cons is what I was worried about... I really hope they do what they can to make the game as balanced as halo 3, if not better. The extremely overpowered nades and fast beat downs worries me, those things make multiplayer less fun. If beat downs are THAT good, it would make every game type like a lone wolves Slayer game (not BRs, just slayer) on guardian, where you have 6 people running around and aimlessly beating each other down and getting assault rifle kills (the AR is cool, but in lone wolves on halo 3 it basically ruins the playlist). Also, the different classes thing sounds cool, just hoping it doesn't interfere with the competitive style play.I was playing ALL day Sunday, but the servers were down today (anyone confirm if they're back up yet? too lazy to set up my xbox if not)
Opinion time:
Pros:
-Assassinations are the greatest thing they have ever done, ever.
-Powerhouse instantly became my new favorite map. Its the largest map I could see staying MLGable. It really is amazing.
-Focus Rifle is sick. I haven't got to use it much, but I loved it when I did.
-Headhunters is fun, but the whole bank 10 and instantly win thing is really annoying. Every headhunter game I won was because of that, just not fair.
-Armor abilities are AWESOME. I really don't like the guard one, as Pluvia said. But the rest flow really nicely. Sprint --> assassinations are beyond sick.
-Covie Slayer =
Cons:
-Grenades. Are. So. ****. Overpowered. It's ridiculous. I'm not kidding when I say 9 out of 10 deaths are via grenades, its really annoying. I like how in slayer pro you only start with one, but the game is more about MLG type things, so powerdown grenades, please
-I don't understand the DMR. I'll take someone out in like, 4 shots, or I'll waste a full clip and not even bring them down to beatdown will kill range. Obviously headshots are better, but even when I know I'm hitting them in the head, it doesn't seem uniform.
-Beatdowns are way too fast. Theres almost no point to close-quarter shooting. two beat downs are you're gone.
-I really don't like swordbase. It's a huge pain in the *** to maneuver, and anything but the jetpack ability will ruin you.
-I don't like the way the grenade/plasma launcher handles. Idk. Maybe its just my overall dislike of huge/power weapons. But I think they shoulda just left em out.
Overall: A million times better then Halo 3, and I think once the perfections have been made, easily better then halo 2.
I still can't wait for invasion.
