I'm a Halo Reach fanboy

[FirespraY]

So.  Halo Reach.  Now that the beta's over, thoughts?

Personally, I think this game, in it's BETA stage, is 10x the game Halo 3 was.  Hitscan weapons return, the pistol is good again (to a degree), no more slamming the trigger in the general area of an enemy to get a kill... skill seems to be back my friends.

However, I did find some problems.  For one, the movement speed is REALLY slow.  I thought it was slow in Halo 3, but it's even slower in Reach... lame.  This will probably be fixable in the custom options, but I still think Bungie needs to bump up the base player speed to where it was in Halo 1.

Also, even though I'm 100% for reticle bloom, I think it needs to reset faster, especially on the DMR.  It seems instead of forcing players to shoot carefully, it also encourages them to spam the trigger at close range, giving them a lucky headshot (and it happens more than it should).

So for the people who play Halo and played the beta, thoughts?

Still great beta.

i like halo alot as an alternative for CoD. However, i am not a fan of a constant RNG environment. I AM a huge fan of jumping 40 feet in the air tho

I'm not actually.  The moon gravity in H3 annoyed me... they need to make it more like the jump height in Halo 1.  Still pretty high though compared to CoD4.  I'm guessing RNG is Run and Gun?

yes

I'm definitely getting this game. I absolutely love it.

I don't really like the higher weapon sets though

Higher?

The ones you unlock as you play further into the match. Like the sword for the elite.
