Subject: What do you expect the Reach Beta to look like?

Hey everyone! I was wondering what everyones opinion was about the beta.
How it looked, how it played (if it was almost the same as the halo 3 beta), what characters models would be in it, what playlists, what the graphics would be like, and etc.
Please leave your opinion about the beta here.
This is not another one of the ideas for campaign or Matchmaking threads.

Your friendly and eccentric Sangheili forum-poster. :)

Well, I'm expecting it to be very different compared to the previous Halo games. Gameplay, graphics and customization.

Thank you sir, that was an epic rendition of this topic.

and how!

I expect it will follow suit of all other Halo games. Similar to the previous installment but +7 asskickery.

I'm expecting to see a few curveballs though, additions to gameplay that add depth without killing the Halo feel.

I think is related to halo3 beta but with more advance graphics

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, seeing how the H3 beta (didn't play it) was so much more better then H3 now. (This is what I hear from the majority of the community)

Then Halo: Reach's Beta is going to be awesome like a possim.

i think its gunna be really close to halo 3 but its gunna kick ass, that is the first thing im doing when i get ODST then campaign :)
Oh, by the way. I'm pretty sure the Beta won't come until 2010. Actually I'm 99% sure.

Yeah, you don't get the beta with ODST, you get an invitation to the beta.

Im the best of the best and better than the rest....

After all it is still called Halo: Reach so i am thinking all new weapons minor changes to the sniper rifle and Rocket Launcher I just cant wait for it

  • 07.02.2009 7:30 PM PDT

I am expecting a refinement of Halo 3 graphics.

As for the game play, nobody has a clue.

Better than the Halo 3 Beta (which looked better than Halo 3).

  • 07.02.2009 7:35 PM PDT

Yeah, I'm hoping for a graphical - possibly more life-like improvement to the game. Gameplay will differ a bit, most likely a change in the health bar, some new weps, or modified weapons (GO H1 Pistol!!), a new vehicle or two, and some changes to the sniper and rocket launcher.

There is no greater catharsis than arguing on the Flood.

I'm somehow imagining more of a war feeling. The water will be dark and reflective, rather than blue, the textures of the landscape will be darker, and slightly more rigid. You know, something of a morbid feel, but not that much.

  • 07.02.2009 7:51 PM PDT

I imagine it to look more like a war (maps) and a little darker battlefield.

I'm wondering when it will be, Crackdown was sold in February and the beta came mid-spring (if I remember correctly). Halo 3:ODST is to be released this fall, so I'm assuming that the beta for Halo:Reach will be in December.

I have no clue how it'll look. Hopefully it will be better than Halo:3's beta.
