As we all know Halo:Reach is set before halo1 plus bungie announce Reach will have a multiplayer beta!! A multiplayer beta??? They announced it like the multiplayer will 100% not be like halo3 or be an updated version or halo3's multiplayer.

I just got my new computer so I may have missed out on any info about Reach so please answer any of my question that you know. thanks

(a) did bugie give any info about the multiplayer?

(a) 2. did bungie give any info about the game reach??

(a) 3. GUNS!! no BRs where in halo1 so im guessing the BR wasnt created yet or MC had the prototype in his back pockect the whole time during halo1 and forgot he had it..

(a) 4. If you have any good info on Reach can you put the link in this thread?

BRs weren't in Halo 1, because the game designers didn't think of them yet. There's no reason they shouldn't be in Reach.

That's also the reason Masterchief wasn't able to wield 2 guns at a time, he didnt do some secret akimbo training or something while we waited for Halo 2.

so the BR is in all of halo's timeline even if bungie did not have it in the game. I think thats a little strange but think god it will be there. haha I was thinking the Multiplayer would be just halo1 weapons or some other type of weapons and no BRs.

1) No.

2)Not much yet, just some basic details like "it's a prequel to Halo 1" and "Yes, it's a first-person shooter"

3) GUNS!! will probably be in the game. (just a guess.)

The battle rifle hadn't been thought up yet when Halo 1 shipped, but has been retroactively placed in the Halo universe. In the book "Contact Harvest", Johnson was using a battle rifle 27 years before the events of Halos 1,2, and 3. Same with dual wielding, just because the game mechanic hadn't been implemented yet, doesn't mean that it didn't happen before Halo 1. I'd expect that the new game's multiplayer will build off of previous games, meaning that the stuff you know and love will still be there.

4) I'd suggest the Halo: Reach project page on the "Projects" tab on the upper left corner of Bungie's website.
