I thought the Halo 2 beta was epic and how Halo 2 should have been and what all of the halo games should have been. Reach should be exhilarating and not lose the player in boredom...If ODST shows this it should be implemented in Reach a thousand times more. what do my fellow forum junkies think should be expected in Reach?

How to spell "space"?

S-P-ACE! SPACE!

I didn't play the H2 beta. H2 was the worst game.

it was because they scraped the halo 2 beta idea and made the decisions to make worse ideas of what halo 2 became

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

H2 didnt have a Beta, only a Demo Video, and IMO H2 was the best (minus glitches)

The best demo video I have ever seen. The ending was epic.

I take it you mean the E3 demo?
If so, ODST is sort of being made for what you're asking for.

And what's with people always saying stuff they've never played was better than what they have? Dang. The Halo 2 demo, afterall, was supposely completely guided. If they traveled off into the openess, it would have just been nothing going on and blandness.

It had a closed beta for microsoft employees, but little to no footage was released. I believe the OP is referring to the Halo 3 beta. Although i don't quite see why you found the need to make a thread about it, it would be nice to have another epic Halo game. Not that any of them haven't been epic thus far.

Halo 2 beta? Didn't know there was a public one. Unless you mean the E3 demo of Halo 2, which was epic. But yeah I agree, the melee combos, the ability to put away dual wielded weapons without dropping one... It seems that Halo sequels are getting more and more based on what it could've been, rather than what it is.

"You're on." And that said, we never actually got to see whether Master Chief or Cortana won the bet.

I think that the problem with Halo 2 was that everyone expected it to take place on Earth fighting off the Covenant whereas 80% of the game took place away from Earth. I feel that there should have been about two or three more hours of gameplay on Earth.

THIS IS BLASPHEMY. Play the campaign again and tell me the story isn't good.

BE A HERO!!!

I dont think that Bungie will ever let us down because they havent yet!!!! The entire halo series has been amazing, and they have numerous creators working hard to make the next game a step up from the last. We just have to keep faith in Bungie, and they will make it worth our while. Im sure halo reach is going to blow our minds!!!

Compared to Halo 3, Halo 2 was superomegaawesome. Compared to Halo 2, Halo:CE was superomegaultramegaawesomewithbbqsauceontop.

I don't know what you mean , but bungie didn't had enough time nor resources, that why the game wasn't as good as they planed, anyway it still the best Halo game.

It was fun, but very repetitive. Not much variety in levels and objectives.

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

Really? So why was I and many others let down by both Halo 2 and Halo 3?
