Subject: Multiplayer, going to be different, what do you think it is?

Because Bungie is putting a public beta out for reach it pretty much confirms that multiplayer will be different than what we have seen in the past (or else theyd just use that data)

if they want a year to toy with it, i think its also safe to say it will be drastically different than Halo 3
What do you think itll be like? Squad-Based? Class? etc

all ideas are welcome but please show other people respect when talking about their ideas

maybe you will have massive battles like in the ps3 game MAG, with like 100 people in one match. After all, the game does take place during an invasion with huge battles

NO. Bungie made a Halo 3 beta. Besides the graphics they are like the same game. Just because theirs a beta doesn't mean the gameplay will be much different.

Well, I was making tacos so, I'm not sure about the other guys.

IMO the leap we see will be about the same as the leap we saw between Halo 2 and Halo 3. I mean, we're talking Halo here. There's no reason to think Reach is headed towards a squad based shooter, but rather that we'll see the equipment refined and alterations made to the guns we've come to know and care for.

Kick start a craze

Something tells me that it might become either squad or class based. I don't really have any evidence to support this. Just my gut feeling. But hey, at least I'm not trying to pawn off some random picture from the trailer as "definitive proof!!!1"

Trust me, we all appreciate that too. :)

I hope the multiplayer is a little deeper this time. Halo 3 multiplayer is fun and all, but as you progress in it nothing really happens. You don't unlock anything, your character doesn't improve, etc. The only thing that keeps me coming back is the fact that Bungie keeps adding more content through map packs and messing around with the playlists.
I hope in Reach there will be some kind of reward system or something rather than just getting a new icon to represent your rank.

100 player battles would be awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

First, it will not be like MAG. (Push that thought from your minds right now)

Second, I don't think it will be drastically different. The reason for a Beta is probably just to test the graphics engine, new weapons, new equipment, maybe new vehicles, see how they perform, etc. See if the server can handle it. etc.

Halo 3 wasn't drastically different from Halo 2, but it still needed a Beta, so the same thing is probably happening with this. Maybe they want to see how a VISR mode would work with Multi-player.

Here we are again bro... Just you and me. Same kind of moon same kind of jungle. Real number 10 remember... Whole platoon, 32 men chopped into meat... We walk out just you and me, nobody else. Right on top huh? Not a scratch... Not a f**kin' scratch. You know who ever got you. They'll come back again. And when he does I'm gonna cut your name right into him... I'M GONNA CUT YOUR NAME RIGHT INTO HIM!

Im going with the squad base idea to differentuate it from halo 3. Not sure how big the squads will be tho.

Good afternoon Mr CLYDE

Hello Spartan Delboy, wheather is nice isn't it?

Squad based? I could see squad based being for campaign, but not multi-player.

Its a bit cloudy at my end today POKEY <sadface>

I was thinking that maybe for multiplayer it would be a red vs blue team format but instead of being placed in either the red or blue team, matchmaking would put you either on the UNSC or Covanant side. Maybe try and max it out to 32 vs 32 aswell?

Nothing is confirmed. Halo 3 beta had multiplayer just like the previous games. Reach may or may not have the same mp, but I bet its the same. The beta is probably just going to showcase improvements or addtions to the mp such as maps, armor prem, weapons etc. A beta can include anything.

I really hope they don't make it a squad based multiplayer, but i think classes to some degree would not take away from the halo experience.

...

As long as the game feels and plays similar to the other Halo's im content.
