HALO REACH BETA

You don't like the looks of the guns in Reach? They look AMAZING as far as I'm concerned. Bungie stated "We have 4 times the polygons to play with" in one of their developer videos.

Yep, they can also have thousands of colliding particles. And a good amount of dynamic lights.

From what I have seen, it's even got good facial animation. So it's raping Source in my eyes.

Source is a prehistoric monster engine. Everything rapes its visual quality.

Back on topic.

Halo 1= Good, had fun playing it.
Halo 1 Custom Edition= Epic, I had so much fun playing custom Zelda maps killing other players as Link wile riding my pony.
Halo 2= Epic, great game.
Halo 3= Good, I like it despite its problems.
Halo ODST= I want my fucking money back, stopped playing it two maps into the story mode.
Halo Reach Beta= Amazing so far, feels really Halo one and has the cool class abilities.

Halo Reach, It's halo.

It FEELs just like halo, plays just like halo, pretty much is halo.

Having said that, it's halo. BUT, there's a brilliance behind this. Quake 4 was shit because they fucked up what quake was, the game didn't feel like quake anymore. However, Halo has done a good job making a game, changing it, but making it feel the same. GoW3 is still GoW2, nobody expects it to be drastically different.

The changes to halo reach feel good. Keep in mind, I don't own an xbox and I've been playing with a few neighbors. It seems like the developers of halo:reach have done an amazing job taking aspects from other games and making them their own. The classes remind me of TF2's with a bit more flexibility, and there seems to be a lot of capability for it to be competitive.

Can't help but feel that they are milking this for the money, but the changes between halo reach and halo 3 are more drastic than the changes between L4D1 and 2.

I really liked Halo 3, it had solid multiplayer and singleplayer gameplay. It's impressingly open gameplay-wise, contrary to most FPS games these days. It didn't introduce too many new items/weapons and instead choose to refine those who already existed instead.

I didn't play much of Halo 2 and ODST though. The story in the Halo games are nothing to get excited about either. Master Chief is a terrible character, but for some reason he has such a glorious status in the game industry.
