" I'm sure the guys at Bungie are talented enough to balance all these new components so you kids can enjoy your competitions. Besides, nothing is wrong with giving players more equipment for variety. If everyone has access to the same stuff, isn't it balanced? It sound like you should stick to Quake 3. "
You must have mis-understood me. I guess I'll rephrase everything I said.  If everyone has access to everything at spawn,It makes it less competitive. If you have to use strategy to go out and get it... its more competitive. Understand?
 
I'm not saying this game will be imbalanced either. What I'm saying is.. from the looks of everything I've seen, they're making the game more accessible to the.. not so good players.. of Halo.  "yeah, these kids could never get the invis or got shot in the head before they could use the bubble shield,, so we'll let them spawn with it".  
 
I'm sure the game will be fun, and everyone who was good at Halo will be good in Reach, and I'm probably complaining for no reason. But I am a competitive player who thought the addition of equipment and AR to Halo 3 almost ruined it for me.  And I wished Halo 3 was more like Halo 2 and 1. But I cannot deny Halo 3 being an amazing game. I still play. But I enjoyed Halo 2 a lot more.

Every new Halo game, they make it more and more accessible for "bad kids" to be good. Halo 1, if you weren't good with the pistol, you sucked. Halo 2, if you weren't good with the BR, you sucked. Halo 3, you needed to be good with the BR, but they gave you an over powered AR spawn that can kill you with a few shots and a melee.  They also gave you equipment to hide in.  Halo: Reach.... they are letting you spawn with the equipment.. Seriously? letting players spawn with a bubble shield or Invis? And they are making maps based on the assumption a lot of players will be using the Jet Pack (so long small symmetrical MLG maps). 
 
What ever happened to players having to earn their kills? The #1 game on XBL is Modern Warfare 2. And the majority of kills you get on that game come from Predator missiles or harrier strikes. You don't really have to pull the trigger once you get 5 kills, just lie in the corner and wait. 
 
Halo: Reach seems to be following the same formula. Instead of having teams fight over powerups, and letting the team with the better strategy earn it.... they let everyone spawn with it. Their reasoning?  "It seemed in Halo 3, players would pick up equipment, and die before using it".... Well yeah, thats called the other team being better. So how do they fix the problem of "the better team gets the powerups/ equipment".... they let everyone spawn with it.       
 
Say goodbye to "alright, invis spawns in 2, Overshield spawns in 4". And say hello to "alright guys, im turning on my invis now and im going to wait around the corner with the shotgun I spawned with".  
 
We'll see if my expectations are met with the Beta. But I have a feeling that Reach will bring in/ make happy, a lot of new Halo players. And the competitive players will be scratching their heads in disappointed.

" they should rename it Halo: This time with perks! "
The Armor Abilities is replacing the Equipment of Halo 3. So instead of bubble shield, energy drainer, regenerator etc.... there will be a Jet Pack, invis, sprint, armor bubble shield, and a few others. Keep in mind that Halo 3 also had the Radar Jammer, and flare in multiplayer. But was taken out do to its dumbness. So if something doesnt work in Reach, they will take it out. 
 
What im worried about is... I really hope this new equipment is something you pick up from the map, and not something you can spawn with.

I believe my IQ was around 550.

I think I was playing it on All Madden, and my only comment is... why cant receivers catch the ball!!. Its weird, you start out 4th and 1. And it took me 3 tries because my receivers kept dropping the ball when they were wide open.  kinda annoying

this is just a random rumor about Jolie playing catwoman.. but the national enquirer has said that Johnny Depp might play the Riddler and Phillipp Seymore Hoffman might play the penguin in the next batman. I think Depp would be a good Riddler I hope he plays a dark riddler and not a comedic one.
