Subject: 2 years ago to this day I played the Beta...

Mediocre Backpacker
56% W\L
2.86 k\d
3.18 DMR
7.29 God Magnum
7.79 Sniper
5.34 Needle Rifle

I remember my first game being on Swordbase. The sniper was sooo easy to aim, going to back to H3 recently I couldn't swipe anyone at all. Generator Defense felt like you were in a tank with how the controls handled.

Invasion was great in the Beta. Different shades of green for Spartans, and different colors for Elites. It made the mode unique. Now its just red vs blue. Not really all that fun as it was in the beta.

I remember Gen Defense, 2 Spartans vs 2 Elites with some covies I think. I didn't spend to much time with it to be honest. I do remember post Reach they had Firefight Versus, that wasn't bad, I think. I kinda wonder why they took it out.

Generator defense.

Good Covenant weapons.

I miss both.

I remember only playing a few games before realising just how sh­it a product it was. It was unimaginably worse then the full game which is quite an achievement if you think about it.

Welcome to the internet. Joy dies here.

Beta was awesome. Better map selection than release Reach. Better AL too. Plasma Launcher on Sword Base. Just awesome. As I tried my first game I remember thinking, "This is sweet, and it feels different. That'll piss off the internet..."

Boy how wrong I was....

I <3 Halo:Reach - amazingly fun and best campaign + amazing Soundtrack
I <3 Halo 3:ODST - best soundtrack + Firefight + Coastal Highway and Mombassa Streets, amazingly unique campaign.
I <3 Halo 3 - best multiplayer levels + Forge + best Custom Games + soundtrack
I <3 Halo 2 - amazing huge fun campaign + soundtrack + Fun multiplayer
I <3 Halo: CE - started it all

Gen Defense was 3v3. It was lots of fun except for the lag and the constant locking of generators. It was different, which was neat.

Nope. SouthPole isn't a person. He's the avatar of the force of tryhards everywhere. He stalks the web looking for retards to set straight. He can not be stopped by mere bans or thread locks for he shall rise anew.

I remember being able to assassinate your teammates in gendefence.

I remember it was great !

I have kept the nameplates from Halo Reach beta, because people can't obtain it now.


Your memory is horrible.

I intend to live forever, or die trying,

so far, so good.

Plasma Launcher was awesome, and the Scorpion Tank was the most powerful thing ever, as it auto-locked on any target.

So if someone was jetpacking on the other side of the map, and you were in the tank and had them in your recticle, you got a kill. It was fantastic, but way too powerful.

Invasion was the best. I played over 100 games of Invasion in the Beta, since the release of REACH, I have only played 300.

I played 100 games of Invasion in 1 week. Crazy.

Invasion was and is my favorite.

Good times. I remember waiting for like 90 minutes for the damned beta to finally finish downloading. It was a blast playing Reach for the first time. Everything felt totally different from Halo 3. The weapons felt good, playing new maps was exciting, and seeing Invasion for the first time was a blast.

The final game, to me, lived up to the beta too so it's been all around a good experience for me. I just hope 343 can be as good.


Same, but I dunno something about the finished product seemed off to me, honestly to me the beta was perfection. that doesn't mean I don't like the current reach, because I do.

Why does everyone hate Halo 2? Maybe its because its the worst game ever next to mario.

Ah, the beta...

"Close Call!"

Beta was fun because the controls were different from 3's and unless you avidly played ODST, it took getting used to. Hologram was so cool because it fooled everyone. Now its pointless to even get it out.

The "fun" gametypes were very common and a blast to play. Seeing this thread inspired me to play Team Objective to try and get some of the fun Flag, Assualt,(Good Headhunter memories too), ect. again. I ended up playing 1-flag on Boardwalk, enemies were a full team of Hero's and up, and I get a Warrant Officer and his team of guests...need I say the bloodbath that happened next?

Hologram wasnt in the beta. You have no idea what you are talking about.

I remember the Plasma Repeater could actually kill someone.

RIP Weapon recoil.

RIP exploding flaming warthogs.
Was a lot of fun to see people driving around, completely oblivious to that loud, ominous grinding noise.

Also just the fact that vehicles protected from all damage was nice.

Sword Base had a Plasma Launcher where the Grenade Launcher is currently.
And it was super awesome.

Damn you community, why did you complain about certain things?
