I wish you would stop posting on the forums. "

" Armor lock looks overpowered, invincible + shield recharge + emp blast?   "

I'll just stick with Uncharted 2 I think. I could play this with my roommate... but I really have no desire to. 

Definitely on the fence here. It seems like they're making the multiplayer alot more complicated. Really don't like the idea there because Halo 2, one of the greatest multiplayer experiences of all time, was so great because it was relatively basic. When you have identical character models, spawning with identical weapons and having identical traits, it makes the game much more competitive because the game isn't decided by rank, or loadout, but by sheer skill. The less random variables there are, the better the experience in my opinion. However, a game can be complicated without being random. Shadowrun is an excellent example. But I know Bungie won't put half of the thought and time into their multiplayer that (the late) Fasa Studios did for Shadowrun. Halo 3's multiplayer was pretty bad (again in my opinion) but if Bungie can take the randomness out of their game, they could create a much more competitive and intense experience. Here's hoping that's precisely what they do.

Glowing immobile target for every sniper/ DMR within 200 feet to sight on the kill the moment armor lock disengages?  Anyways even it it is a bit overpowered in the beta, that's why they have it. Most balance issues should be fixed in the shipping product (I doubt Armor Lock will even need to receive significant tweaks, Bungie knows their balance). "

the assassination thing just seems like it's going to be the whole AvP killing congo line again

Any hints on how to get the early access?! Just random giveouts? Sorry im just excited lol

Gosh i want that key sooooo bad early access yes please

Lead gameplay designer on Shadowrun is lead designer on Reach's sandbox.  If you're looking for a more competitive game, The Arena will give you stripped down gameplay and limited loadouts. Stuff to the tune of one loadout- DMR/AR starts with the Sprint ability and very little else. "

Looking forward to it. I trust Bungie, the campaign is gonna be Epic, it's gonna have 4 player coop, and the multiplayer will have variety. 
 
I honestly don't get CoD, never did. It was always (to me) "Battlefield without vehicles", and that takes half the fun away from it. Now in MW2 you basically have "superpowers", which makes it even more unbalanced and unfair, and as far from "modern warfare" as Halo is.

MW2 is a lot of fun, but I still prefer Halo online. Mostly because I suck at Modern Warfare. With all the changes Bungie is making to Reach, I don't see how people can just dismiss it as "more Halo." It sounds awesome, hopefully I can snag a beta code next week (I didn't buy ODST).

cant wait

Looks pretty sweet

This is the first time I've anticipated playing Halo multiplayer since Halo 2.

Want that key sooo much lol

I picked up a used ODST from gamefly for 15 bucks to play in the beta.  Glad I did it then, looks like now they are sold out.

How would you go about getting one of the early access keys?

looks okay i may have to pick this one up 

for mightymayormike only certain gametypes will be spartans vs elites the rest will be normal spartans vs spartans
 
anyways i cant wait for this game

Eagerly awaiting the release of the BETA and extremely excited about the full game. Modern Warfare did draw my attention, but Halo has the best multiplayer experience in my opinion. This is going to be bad for my sleep...

Those ViDocs on YouTube are certainly helping get me excited for this game. If you haven't seen Bungie talk about this game, you should.

Ahh sweet early access beta codes!! I hope I can get one.

" Is it coming to the PS3? "

I was never really into Halo but I am looking very forward to this game (to my own great surprise)

I'm excited for this game.

I hope they include an improved version of Firefight mode, then this game has the complete package for me.

Hako Reach will rule

" Right now me and all my friends play moder warfare 2, but that is all about to change in a matter of months . "

Melee was never one hit kill...?

" Melee was never one hit kill...? "

i dont understand why people are excited, halo should have died with halo 3, along with master chief (even if he technically doesnt)

This beta will be insane. Hopefully the Medkit/Health regenerate thing is balanced otherwise I could see the elites having an advantage.

the picking of weapons makes me interested and the assassination kills look awesome but only time will tell if it's as good as mw2.

" This beta will be insane. Hopefully the Medkit/Health regenerate thing is balanced otherwise I could see the elites having an advantage. "

I have never liked Halo multiplayer but this looks kinda awesome.

i dont often buy halo games but i might have to check this one out.

gonna be awesome fun times just as long as they don't over do it

So looking forward to this - looks amazing in the ViDoc!

so ready for reach

when does this beta code contest starts?

I think this will finally cure me of my recent modern warfare addiction. I'm eagerly awaiting may 3rd.
