So, I posted this last week, but do different armor pieces affect in-game play? You know, the "lightweight" and "stealth-designed" shoulder pieces, ect.

Also, does erasing our stats also include our armor that we worked so many long hours to get? Come on, give us SOMETHING when the final game comes out. Starting from scratch again would SUCK!

We are Orbital Drop Kamikazi Troopers, dropping feet first into hell with a grenade in each hand and a charge of C4 strapped to our back, ready to blow the devil to heaven with no thought of comeing back, except for cookies.

there is only one thing i have decided i am disapointed with from the beta, the way the armour is, the shoulders stick out from the arm and lave a gam which looks rubbish, are amazingly huge which looks odd. also they seem to look plain rubbish yes im talking about EOD!!! also the helmets, the police one looks streched and tall, the starter one looks short and fat, and you cant mix and match the addons for the helmets, that would be awsum!!! the chests... are ok i gues nothing special, just please include some smaller shoulders that actualy look good if nothing else.

apart from that its been an amazing beta and im sorry too see it go.

afterthought, being able to change your visor colour = superawsumnesss, too bad it wont happen ;{

Ive been trying to find a way to give bungie the feedback they asked for but of course theres no clear way to do that on their site. I have to come to this obscure form in hopes that they read it. Recently you put into place an action where if you quite out a of a game you are banned from match making. I would like to say I would not quite out of games if you guys had any clue what your real jobs should be. That ia keeping people from cheating If you think I am going to remain in a game where people cheat you are already bigger idiots that I believe you to be. Instead of fix this, you chose to punish those that do not want to put up with it. Bungie you are bunch of losers that clearly do not know how to program well enough to keep people from cheating. The betas only been out for a couple of days now and cheating is rampant I will not be buying another game from you until you acknowlege this issue and admit to your failings. I run a nationwide blog and have over a million people that have banned your game and others where the programers are too careless or too stupid to keep people from cheating in their games. Slowly you will choke as more people join the cause. No more -blam!- programing allowed.
Obviously its not easy and it costs money but it can be done. Take some of the great amounts of money you have made and put it back into the game otherwise you are just as bad as the cheaters that run rampant through out your games.

one thing that i feel needs to be re thought is the vote system for game type and map there should be no pre-entered votes so youu must vote on a game type to count. As people who do not vote ultimatly mean that the pre-ented vote counts and that type is likely to be played

definitely, although its awsum, i end up playing 1 flag or SvE way too much.

ah, to be fair there is almost no 'cheating' on the beta, and theyre allready fixing the bits that ppl cheat on for the full game. wat ur tring to say is u cant take loosing, also bungie isnt going to care if u dont get the game, one less person to ruin it for the rest of us :) have fun twiddleing ur fingers waiting for that 15 minites to go by :P

Skinny, why does Network Test 1 have so much latency?[/quote]
You see youngling, the playlist is exactly what it's name portrays it to be; A network test.

Not just any network test though, this playlist is testing something very specific. Co-Op. If you've noticed, it has the same 'button lag' that everyone seemed to hate with a flaming passion in Halo 3's Co-Op mode. This is because the playlist is using the Campaign engine opposed to the multiplayer engine, hence the 2 player split-screen limit (Much like in Campaign and Firefight.)

No one knows for sure why their testing the Co-Op, but many have assumed it's due to a possible 6 player Co-Op mode in the Campaign (There are 6 Noble Team members, after all.)


OMG ARE U A PROFESIONAL GENIUS OR SUMFIN!!!!, can i borrow ur brains plz, i got exams cumin up and they culd be handy :P

Hello. I am a player who can solve problems in new and interesting ways to solve situations. I'm also a good voice actor for machinimas. I will gladly offer my services to almost anyone who asks so if you need help with achievements or challenges, I'm your guy. Just don't ask me to help with forging cause I'm not that good of a forger.

I hope they still have infection.

Love the generator defense game type. One thing I wanted to comment on. I was standing by Generator C and took a laser shot through what appeared to be an opening in the fence. Instead I committed suicide. It was like an invisible wall. Same thing happened to me with a plasma grenade. It bounced back!

hey when is the beta over?

  • 05.16.2010 10:47 AM PDT

Wha!!?? aaaaawwww!! bungi should keep the beta up till the game comes out. by the way. do we have to start over on ranking, armour and credits for the actual game? that would be horrible!

  • 05.16.2010 11:08 AM PDT

u no u like me

as of may 16 at 1;24 pm i am the first player to gat banned from the beta :< sad face

  • 05.16.2010 11:26 AM PDT

Why are you here?

I love the Beta. But what hypes me up is seeing glitches in the game that give people glitched armor such as the unfinished white armor, campaign armor, and some of Halo 3's armor. Will these be in the final game? NEED ANSWER!!

  • 05.16.2010 11:27 AM PDT

hay im the first player to get banned from the beta

  • 05.16.2010 11:28 AM PDT

I am new to the forums. I really just want to how to get a my ideas to the right people within bungie. If I am in the right place (the forums), then who where and how do i get my thoughts convayed to the right channel? I dont want to respond to a bunch of randomn posts, and i have no clue on who is most deserving of my ample explosions of ideas pertaining to Reach and many other areas of the gaming world.
Lol. I'm not even sure how to get an answer to this question. Would love a hand. Aswell as to give one. Anything i can help to make a sweet beta into an even better game.

  • 05.16.2010 12:11 PM PDT

I would not benn consered with such matters as armer and appearance. Although its good to have a new look to ya every now and then in a game. Gameplay is much more important. If you want too help try to find issues with then beta that hurt the potential fun. I reply to this message only to help you and me to help bungie as much as we can.

  • 05.16.2010 12:16 PM PDT

I am with ya. Amen! but what cheating are you talking about?

Thank you guys for the awesome times in the beta. Can't wait till Fall.

  • 05.16.2010 12:23 PM PDT

I agree that could work better. Good post. Or even better just have more specific playlists, which i am sure they will(its only a beta). I am hoping for only jet pack slayer, and nothing else in that playlist. And for every ranked playlist there should be a social version of it to practice.

  • 05.16.2010 12:24 PM PDT

What's up? I'm Anthony, from Maryland. I play a lot of video games, too many. Enjoying the Halo Reach Beat right now. Also Halo was kind of my life from the age of 11-14.

Wish the beta as longer, ends during me exam week. :( Love the new Generator Defense mode!

I hope Generator Defense makes it into the final game

I'm becoming increasingly annoyed at the wildly unbalanced weapons. Some are ridiculously overpowered (sticky grenade launcher, hammer, shotgun), while others are pathetically underpowered (both Spartan rifles and the pistol). Plus, the game gives too much emphasis to head shots instead of center-mass shots. I want a more even playing field.
