The Sentinel Beam isn't excluded from Matchmaking due to any performance concerns. It's excluded because it's ridiculous. It may as well be firing super-accelerated clowns. - Shishka

There will be spartans.

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

I trust Bungie enough to say they know what they're doing. And personally, I'm really looking forwards to Halo without the comfortable powers of the Chief.
It's inevitable that gameplay will change and it is becoming quite dramatic now, just know that more tactical-esque play is what the majority of the community have been asking for. That's why we're getting ODST, that's why I'll be buying Reach next year and indeed any other Halo game coming in the future.

I'm afraid it's going to be too COD-ish. I prefer Halo much more because of all the things that make Halo better than COD.

I too, do not want anything of the typical FPS style we see with other games, including COD. But Id like to think Bungie would NEVER put out a game like that. Not to knock them, but I prefer the gameplay of Halo. Always have

Another question left yet to be answered is how Bungie sees Reach online. do they see it as long lasting as Halo 2 or 3? Something they are willing to put a lot of time in effort into, even after the game is released?

I think it takes a certain formula for online to have a long shelf life. Im afraid if they go too far away from their Halo 2/3 formula that it wont last as long. I could be wrong. I just wish we had some more details to go off of. Or some details at all really. Its a shame they opened up a forum for Reach and we have a picture and meaningless trailer to go off of.

There will be spartans.... probably a similar multiplayer.

They opened up a forum for feedback from the fans about something only read about in stories. I think it's a good call personally.

I don't think the multiplayer will be tweaked all that much. Remember the ONLY thing that MC had on the rest of the Spartans was that he was lucky. Unbelievably and totally lucky.

I do not appreciate B.Net Group solicitation. If you ignore this and send me an invitation anyway, I will block communications with you.

Not skeptical at all. I'm not looking for lateral gameplay experiences. I'm looking to immerse myself in the Halo universe. As long as we don't get some bullcrap like we did in Halo 2 with short cuts between two separate stories, I'll be happy playing with whoever it is I play as.
