Subject: A multiplayer theory for ODST backed by facts!!!

There is one major clue to Reach being different in gameplay and not just a standard halo game the reason is why would they give as a multiplayer beta to reach if it was the same type of halo game so it has to be different there are alot of ideas floating around like classes or squads etc u decide

Then why did they give us a Beta to Halo 3 if it was basicly the same gameplay as halo 2?

Ugh...

First on a BWU.. yeah, I'm cool.

ODST;MYTHIC Screenshot winner! One of the first to get their hands on the mythic map pack.

Well, it is probably just to test out how the graphics and stuff hold up in an online expierence.

Saved Films.

Guess what? Reach will probably have saved films + more stuff + renderable videos.

New engine, for one.

And of course they're going to have new features, weapons, and equipment (if we use equipment).

Just because there's a beta doesn't mean they're going to be revamping the way their multiplayer has been played for 10 years...

While Halo 3 had some new features (equipment, new weapons) this post pretty much illustrates my thoughts exactly. Halo 3 had a beta and it wasn't dramatically different, Reach having a beta doesn't make it dramatically different. Almost anything could warrant a new beta, from increased hype (and purchases) for ODST to slight weapons changes. We just don't know.

Halo 3 was a standard Halo game but there was a beta.

it doese'nt look nextgen , looks good but not nextgen
If by next-gen you mean crappy, dark and colorless, I agree. It doesnt look next-gen at all.

Its all about marketing. Halo 3 Beta made Crackdown sell way more than it would by itself. As for the Halo Reach Beta, its just a way to give something to the fans to increase the hype.

Netcode my friend. It's about lag, not balancing.

I just adore pretzelzzz! The go great with mayonaise. MMM!

It could be that they just want to get some information while we get to have some fun. Why do people always think it will be something major?
