Halo Reach Beta

[Grey Nightmare]

Simply put, whose downloading it and do you reckon it will be any good?

I personally thought ODST was an epic fail... if it wasn't for the Multiplayer Map Pack disc and reach beta I would have sold it by now ¬.¬

Just some Model/UI swaps and what were they smoking when they decided it was 'open world'?

Firefight also seemed stale after GOW 2's horde

On the other hand reach looks A LOT better, I will definitely be downloading it, though I like the new 'loadout' approach I'm not sure on the whole jet-pack thing... It seems like another overused/overpowered item (looking at you sniper rifle).

Anyway your thoughts? Good or bad as long as it's reasonable, none of this: "I don't download it cuz I gots da ps3 n da xbox is shizzel" crap.

i'm DLing it and it looks good
jetpacks suck, btw. it only lasts for a certain amount of time and you take fall damage, and you don't move very fast while flying. it seems like it'll be extremely OP, but so far it seems like it'll only be useful in certain situations.

Can't say I'm unhappy to hear that

They have 'cult' potential. :S

Luckily I think their only available in certain LoadOuts and these "should" be balanced, e.g. no jet packing snipers/Spartan lasers.
