I was a Halo: Reach beta it was so fun

One does not simply become a Halo: Reach beta.

Only if you believe....

I was... Soo... Much... Swordd... Basee....

Take life easy.

Good advice.

I've seen my family fade away, You've taken my whole life left me nothing to say. Sitting in silence with heaven above me i prayed every night by their graves. I search for closure i feel it no longer i can't turn my face away. I stand before you Ive seen what I've had to but now i leave your sight to avenge my family, I've taken my whole life there's nothing left to say.

This world wants to drag you down... And the weight, that guilt they want to hang around your neck, you don’t have to carry it one more step. You think they won’t let you rest, but it’s not up to them. It never was.

I only got to play it for a few hours round my friends house.

I never got to play Generator Defence on Outlook :(

SAAKILLER is pronounced: S.A.A.KILLER

IMO, Competitive play makes a game more fun. However, there are times when I feel like playing Halo just to mess around and have fun.

Solution:

Have Matchmaking (Ranked)
Have Public Custom Game's Server Browser/ Custom Games (Not Ranked, No Stats)

lol ... and then watch the ranked playlists die.
(while everyone moved to where the fun is at)

Who are you?
What do you want?
Why are you here?

I remember playing the beta and being so annoyed that the b-button was no longer melee. So many charges at players where I'd just look at them funny... Only to be wasted by the time I remembered that the right bumper was the correct interface...

Good times...

I took a couple of days off work to play the Beta

  • 12.28.2012 1:05 PM PDT

I played it but have no recollection of it.

  • 12.28.2012 1:43 PM PDT

Those -blam!- grenades.

  • 12.28.2012 2:02 PM PDT

Beta was awful.
Only redeeming quality was a useful pistol. It was my #1 tool in it.

Did get a free pass from one of the online magazine forums .. but never got around to activating it.

Why did Bungie remove the beta forums?
There are older forums still running, would be fun to see how things had changed.

Fight to the Finish!

My favorite thing was finding out you could assassinate your teammate. Ha!

  • 01.01.2013 8:04 AM PDT

Sgt. Avery Johnson is actually Jesus in shapeshifter mode

Grenades, grenades everywhere.

I intend to live forever, or die trying,

so far, so good.

I was,

Plasma Launcher was the best in the Beta.

  • 01.01.2013 5:41 PM PDT

I win, you lose, get over it!

I was. Got the hoodie for my 360 Avatar.

The beta showed me what was to become of Halo. The destruction and demise of this once great series. I went back to Halo 3 after I saw that atrocity of a beta.

Sure enough the full version of Reach sucked just as bad.

The Reach Beta sucked kid. It was even worse than the retail version.


^This.

- Armor Lock Was even more Effective for those using it

- Active Camo Let you be invisible while moving, AND it lasted longer

- There was only Three Maps (Four counting Overlook). Technically Two (Not Counting FFVersus Map, or Invasions Boneyard), and only like... less than 4 playlists

- The Behind the scene Trueskill player matching system was even worse

- The Grenades did about 5% More damage and had a 18% bigger blast radius

- Default Walking speed was lower, as was Jump Heights

- Vehicles were much weaker

- The game was buggy/glitchy and laggy as hell

- Frame Rate/Ghosting problems were worse

- Levels/Ranks capped COMPLETELY at Warrant Officer Grade 3

- Credit Limit capped at like 50k or something

- There was no Challenges/Commendation progress/Achievements/Arena Rating/Etc. to work for

- Way less armor and customization options

- And the spawning system was worse. I spawned away from allies, near enemies, in a bad unknown location 100% of the time

- There was also more Bloom

- And The AR was Weaker, and the Pistol and Plasma Pistol was more powerful, and the Plasma Launcher could kill around corners...

- There was lots of other problems I just can't Remember...
