Luke Smith on the Halo: Reach Beta

First of all, Reach looks awesome. Second, his glasses are pretty cool. Third, i can't wait for the beta.

" is it just me, or does is it seem like this guy's basically saying, "elites are way better than spartans"?  I mean, seriously, it seems like the balancing between elites and spartans is completely fucked.  They move faster, completely regen health, AND regen shields faster than spartans...meanwhile spartans are sluggishly walking around, picking up fucking health packs. "

Luke Smith is disgusting. He was a Halo fanboy disguised as a game writer and because he jerked-off on everything Halo related, he gets a job there. Guy has no credibility at all (never did) was just another PR guy for Microsoft. I would like to see him defend them now going to Activision.
 
Of course, I can't blame him since he took the money, but that doesn't mean that he isn't a hypocritical douche who isn't funny at all.
 
And of course the Halo fanboys come out in spades.

" @Lambert: not that I 100% disagree, especially about Luke coming off as a douche... but the thing that got him noticed was an in depth essay about all of the things that was wrong with Halo 2, so he certainly wasn't the kind to argue that the franchise has no faults, also he was the news guy at 1up, he wasn't in editorial (i.e. reviews) so his fanboyism wasn't really much of an issue"

I just wanna put this out there, all the old 1up Yours guys were unfunny douches, but that's why I loved listening to them. :) 
 
edit: Also, his glasses look pretty pimp, I'd like to get a pair of those.

I didn't know Luke Smith was such a divisive character.  I think he's a funny dude. 
 
Halo Reach looks amazing.  I'm going to be all over this beta.

hmm, interesting that they went back to hitscan for the bullet weapons, I guess Halo really isn't the kind of game where you have time to worry about leading your targets. Battlefield it ain't

Luke Smith looks weird without a beard. Still, an entertaining interview, as expected.

Luke is talking so fast that it's making him sweat.

" Did I just hear the announcer say "ill move"? Awesome. Day one. "

Ahh can't wait to get my hands on this.

can't wait gonna be awesome

awesome ending.

YES scan hits, omg anyone good at this game is going to tear up face with the new battle rifle
 
Edit: SOOOO STOKED
I have yet to play the beta, but damn, I'm willing to go out on a limb here and say the multiplayer online crown has been re claimed from Modern Warfare 2. Yet to see, but damn.

Luke Smith for Prez ... I love that guy.

Why didn't I see Luke much when Halo 3 was being developed. Awesome guy! Love him on Bungie's own podcasts.

The hammer is my ____.

Nice Hoodie 

Woo, more Halo-ness.

Oh my GOD, I'm flying around, this is crazy.

I give up hunting for a code.  I'll just wait until monday.

 It's the new in thing, instead of getting stiff pr guys that talk like they are reciting a script to shill a product you get overzealous 'reviewers' that will talk like gamers... while reading from a script.  "

Yep, Luke Smith is still a douche.  An overrated personality such as his is ideal for an overrated series like Halo though.

Luke's awesome and Brad too... can't forget about Brad.

man this game looks sooooooo fucking badass!!!! Bungie really looks like they have gone all out for this one!!!!!

This Luke Smith guy is kind of a douche.

Haha Luke, love him or hate him the man has charisma lol.

Dude, Luke has lost some weight.

Scarab Lord!!!!

Halo Reach is going to be probably the biggest game in 2010 but I am very interested to see what is coming next from Bungie
