They already said something about the servers being down, guess they though their servers would handle it, and they were wrong. =P

I played 3 games, went to select a different game mode and ended up waiting almost an 1 1/2 hours to connect to the servers. The game play is a lot more advanced and better than I imagined. Thank you Bungie....the servers need a lot of work for the beta but I'm sure this won't be a problem when the official multiplayer launches.

Im asking a question to ppl whats ur favorite armor ability me its armor lock

  • 05.03.2010 6:03 PM PDT

Guess I'm glad I decided to go to work and not call in sick... ha-ha. I would be extremely frustrated if I wasted a sick day and not be able to play because of server issues. When I get home tonight I will try to play a little... if I don't fall asleep waiting to connect or download maps hehe

armor lock or jetpack

  • 05.04.2010 1:00 AM PDT

the game is awesome it takes to long to setup a game game if you got more than one person in the party,if got a full party it took me and two others in a party it took 20-30 mins to download info before we could start searching for a game.
but other than that it was a good game

not a reply. just the only way i know to get my comment up. heres a few things ive noticed. im dying from people throwing 1 frag grenade at me when im full shield and health. ive also had moments where ive died from 1 single beat down. i mean i know 1 perfect grenade could kill in halo 1, but theyre WAYYY too strong this time around. and i also noticed that if you mess around and betray your teamates just for fun at the end of the game, it counts as a betrayal and you can get booted

not a reply.
Guard needs some refinement.
The other loadouts like stalker and scout dont need much refinement but I think the guards armor lockdown needs to have a push effect like grenades do. because when you go into armor lockdown people stand behind you and assasinate you the moment you come out without giving you a chance to fight back. Also i do agree that the splash damage in the above guys topics of grenades is a tad too strong

mate the point of the beta is for us to play and decide what is wrong and needs improving, this is why bungee has released it, so i am going to nitpick at it, because they want it criticized, they want to know what is wrong and what needs improving

TXA clan :):):):):):):):) full recon clan

Not replying. Im sure bungie would work on this. For starters Alot of players think sprint should be default and not in a 'Load Out' The Jet pack flying should maybe switch to a third person view to get that true amazing feel of the feauture because at the moment im not feeling it. Next I am proud that you guys have tried more on the armour but there is just not enough there Halo 3 Had more selection, And Could you guys put a some sort of 'killstreaks' in the game like COD6 if it isnt (C) Copyrighted and i do not know if you guys are having forge but maybe you should look at other games to see how you can improve yours (Farcry 2) It has an amazing and truly outstanding map editor/forge. Now last but not least the Load Outs There is simply a lack of them and it might cause problems but could that be default load out and we could customize our own? I'm sure that if you guys work on this it will be a hit for ages honestly! Thats the negatives however the game is truly awesome guys keep it up!

its anoying how people can kill the people that your assasinating

  • 05.05.2010 10:38 AM PDT

very true. swat is soooo damn hard. what made halo 2 and 3 swat good was the br's 3 round burst. now the dmr is a single shot rifle. and headshots are hard to come by, especially at close range. you almost have to rely on luck. and i was a 48 in halo 3 swat. i know what im talking about. also the magnum is super cheap cuz a close range people just spam the trigger since the recoil doesnt do much for aim at that range. and armor locking is so stupid at point blank. cuz people will get close to you while fightning, use it for a split second, i usually beat them down, then they come out of it and beat me down. it's really unfair. and maybe its just me, but the sniping doesnt seem as smooth as i remember it being in 3.

but super fun

i enjoyed the dmr. i love the way it works. the complaint i have is that if a vehicle just barely touches you then you get splattered. also the banshees harder to control. i love the spartans vs. elites! its so fun! i love the new way armour works, making you have to buy it is awesome! the invisibility is useless as an elite because people can easily see you. also the gernades are too strong. but its still an awesome game!!!

The names Mark. Skidmark.

I've perused through the forums a bit here but I havent seen anyone point out the matchmaking glitch in invasion where your party gets split up, even when you go in with 6 people. It was splitting us up EVERY game, sooo frustrating. Please fix :)

  • 05.08.2010 2:43 PM PDT

dont auto select first choice

  • 05.18.2010 4:02 PM PDT

My only problem is with the armor. It looks so old, kinda rusty. Paint peeling and stuff. I wish it was more like in Halo 3, where the armor looked newer. And the forced color thing on Generator Defense is a pain in the ass, same with the teams thing on Invasion Slayer. It should just be like regular Slayer, except you don't need a partner to spawn on and you can choose where you spawn to begin with. So basically, I just don't like how the Spartan's armor looks so used. I'd like to see it fixed, but... whatever.
