So, do the armor selections like SCOUT and FJ/PARA impact in-game actions like invisibility and jet-packing?
(For anyone confused on the logic behind this assumption, read the descriptions of these shoulder pieces... they seem to imply something...)

Great to see the fixes from the Beta making the final ship for fall. Off to play some Invasion!

pi@ce


How the hell do you aim for "e" and hit 2?

And why did you only hold shift for THAT key?


...


Unless you thought that looked cool or something?

Oh that new quitter ban is going to be oh so awesome =D

Weed is only illegal in America because of the oil companies.

I knew most of the strange occurrences I noticed while playing, Bungie had already noticed beforehand. These guys are good. And I KNOW Reach is gonna be a damn good game.

Thanks for the update, and thanks for letting us in on the development process.

Get WorkPLaced!!

Nice update, it's good to see so many things I was worried about are getting worked on.

I still think Armor Lock needs some work of some type, and I really hate the fact the people can deflect swords now, but maybe it will be a little different when they can't double melee for a quick block and kill.

Keep up the good work Bungie, Invasion is very impressive so far.

  • 05.07.2010 9:16 PM PDT

You guys at bungie should put a setting in Reach so you can lower the game volume. It is a little hard to hear my friends talking from my headset since it uses the tv's audio output. Being able to lower the game volume will make it easier for not only me but many other players with headsets to hear people talk.

pretty cool update and i cant wait tell rech is fully out not fust the beta lol.

Freedom has two parts: potential and resolution; as metaphors have two parts : form and interpretation; of course, the two are intertwined. Metaphor lines the road to freedom, as symbols and words are the bricks and mortar of meaning. Freedom being the briocoleus, the mason.
***END MESSAGE***
***JUMP ACTIVATION INITIATION START***
***TRANSPORT WHEN READY***

In other words, when beta is up in a week or so, we'll have had our fun, and everything will be nerfed for the retail version.

It seems almost absurd to think they're going to ban people for quiting games, people that quit to derank is understandable, but people who quit occasionally because they aren't having fun is complete ludicrous, i really hope you are going to be distinguishing effectively. Seeing as rank and xp are alot different this time around than in Halo 3, it seems there is virtually no reason for someone to quit, even the competitive players.

Such a system seems almost draconian. And to think habitual quitters can be completely avoided by designing multiplayer around server based gameplay, yet you continue to bludgeon this decaying caballus carcass aka the matchmaking concept.

~Beauty of Simplicity~

Awesome update - very informative! I am just worried that there will be too much nerfing. I don't want to see anything turn into the next trip mine. Overall, the balance of weapons is pretty solid - I trust Bungie to keep it fun and balanced for Fall.

  • 05.07.2010 9:46 PM PDT

Thank god Bungie is going to do something about the quitters, although it seems way overdue. I guess better late than never.


Swing, you beautiful banhammer, Swing!!

Effin great update. I read all the way through. Quitters must die, good for us players. I hate to ask after that, but sometimes i just have quit to join up with a buddy who jumps on and sends an invite and i can't wait to play with. How many times before you would drop on someone for that?

  • 05.07.2010 10:10 PM PDT

Hdawger, the wizard of the mountains.

Very glad that they are doing something for when your team quits. In Halo 3 I always 1Vs4 and it got old real quick. Little nervous about the new banhammer though cuz I get disconnected semi-semi-frequently.

im one second from taking this to the next level.

It is my sincerest hope that all multiplayer developers follow suit and implement these kind of countermeasures. We could finally see an end to quitting.

  • 05.07.2010 10:45 PM PDT

If you're looking for a relaxed, but fun group of people to play, have fun, or work on achievements with (Annual, Endure, Deja Vu, etc.), then SIP is for you!

Ah! That "Quitter Ban" sounds effin' sweet! I like the punishments ideas for people that team kill because they "didn't get the sniper." That is an awesome idea.

Ahh, Urk, you do deliver...

You have addressed most of my concerns with this Beta, and you can expect me to preorder the Legendary.

Kudos Bungie, I forever want your babies.

Wow, even playing Invasion, the big Armour Lock craze seems to have dies down, and that's the last part I dislike about the Beta. That's it. Armour lock, quick melee's, quitters, and the other stuff.

  • 05.07.2010 11:12 PM PDT

well urk...we have some indepth knowledge of the banhammer when it comes to quitters...how about the lewzers that decide to raid momma and daddies bank account on ebay for one of those fancy lil' modded controlers?...is there any way for bungie and or the banhammer to identify when a rapid fire controler is activated and i dunno like disconnect them from the world of the living?
