Subject: Halo: Reach Beta Survival Guide

I'm not doing badly, I just want a way to take away aim smoothing and make this a fun game.

Note: A witty signature can be placed on the bottom of all your forum posts.

Amazing Article. Even more amazing is that I've been playing since day one and I learned a lot.

I think you just helped make a lot of better players out there. Kudos. Helps make the game more fun.

Question? Does the Armor lock ability give the user an exit boost or lunge? I've been standing away from an Armor Locked Individual many times camping him out, suddenly he gets out of armor lock and instantly melee's me. Is this a latency thing? I did notice in my experiments that you can rotate the 3rd person camera while in armor lock and then when you let go of the LB, you can instantly turn around and lunge.

Awesome write-up! So that explains the scrambled radar... :P I just assumed it was random. Thanks!

**I meant to ask where the main picture came from? Is it possible to do picture credits at the end of a story?

Awesome, you used my screen shot as the main background image.

I'm going to invade your heart like a barn swallow high on milk chocolate and grandma love.

Fairness is only possible within the limited powers of man. Elsewhere, there is only chance.

Thus I refute thee.

I actually never knew the Needle Rifle was automatic.

The dictionary says that the second definition of "Reticule" is the word "Reticle." Therefore, "Reticule" is 100% correct.

OMG look!!! You can see Bungie!!!!! O.O

Nice read. Now I have some nice stuff to show whiners who spray the DMR and complain that it's "too weak".

And I agree, the IGL is sooo satisfying to use even if you miss. :P

Ferrex: "[...] perhaps to your astonishment, we do have more significant bans prepared for habitual AFK'ers and betrayal inciting. We've thought about this harder than you have."

LOLOLOLOL clearly you are wrong.

Makes me think that their should, and hopefully will be an enforced tutorial before multiplayer access is allowed. Basic tests to see if someone can spot someone who is in camo, to shoot the head, throw grenades properly, and solve the equation 2+2. I wonder which part they'll get stuck on?!

ISU Cyclones!

Needle Rifle automatic?! Guess you learn something new every day...

Anywho I picked up on most of this stuff already. The pistol and Armor Lock are my bestest friends... I never vote Slayer Pro in the Arena because I can't have either of those (well I have to go search for a pistol).

  • 05.11.2010 4:48 PM PDT

Get WorkPLaced!!

After playing the beta consistently since it came out, I can honestly say this game plays so much better than Halo 3 did, and I didn't think you could better refine a near perfect balance like Halo 3 had.

Alas, Bungie has shown me they can do it. I really can't wait to see the final product.

Thanks for blowing my secrets to the rest.

Good splaining though.

  • 05.11.2010 5:18 PM PDT

I don't need tips! I'm 1337, lol. Anyway, nice update urk.

  • 05.11.2010 5:30 PM PDT

my ****EN XBOX360 broke so i can't play /halo:reach

  • 05.11.2010 5:57 PM PDT

Interesting, the speed felt a little different and I've been thinking about bumping up the look sensitivity a notch. I didn't think about the FOV effect on it though. I'll increase it by 1 and see how that plays.

  • 05.11.2010 6:30 PM PDT

Good writeup Shake.

  • 05.11.2010 9:26 PM PDT

you guys should up the speed and jump just a little. It feels sluggish and reducing the grenade radius also would be nice.

  • 05.11.2010 9:31 PM PDT

My Best Bungie moment: finally beating all the Halo games on solo legendary.
My Worst Bungie moment: not seeing giant stuffie grunts in the Bungie store.

Sweet stuff, some of that was very useful.

No mention of how good the boxer control scheme is?

Shoot, melee, grenades, and armor abilities all on triggers/bumpers. Perfection.

Pretty useless guide. Any skilled player with half a brain that has played the beta enough has recognized everything in that guide. :/ Still doesn't make Reach "fun" even if you know those things.

But they want to make a lot of money Kaelestis. Jetpacks sell units.

  • 05.11.2010 10:29 PM PDT

can u guys post a video up for the survival guide?, i think that'd make things a lot clearer haha.

  • 05.11.2010 11:39 PM PDT

Love Re-makes?? I do too check out my file share for the only the best Halo 1, 2 and 3 custom maps.
