From the PlanetXbox360.com feature write-up:
"The Halo: Reach beta has forced me come to terms with the fact that deep down, I love the Halo franchise; I mean I secretly go nuts for a new Halo, but with good reason. Over the last few days, I’ve poured 9 very well spent hours playing the Reach multiplayer as part of an early access to the beta and honestly, I’m sure I will continue to play until the minute the beta ends which will most likely wipe the dumb grin off my face for a few days. For now, the beta consists of 2 maps, Swordbase and Powerhouse and 2 playlists, Grab Bag and Free for All. There will be 2 more maps when the beta officially launches on May 3rd to the public, but over the past day I’ve had the pleasure of delving into the 2 maps available."
How do composers make the iconic music tracks from games that we love? And just what makes them so memorable?
Twitter is blowing up right now
All games coming to PlayStation
Next Xbox will have steam
Next Xbox niche and only for “gamers who want it” (it’s a really powerful pc or a steam deck type portable, or both)
A former 343 developer has revealed that mountains of Halo pitches failed to be approved, including a return to ODSTs and a push for more intimate, dark themes.
Not really. 4, 5, MCC, and Infinite are only remembered for their shortcomings and failures when the franchise was purely known for being a system seller and an all-time great. There's a reason 1, 2, 3, and Reach are looked back on fondly, and it's not because of nostalgia.
I don't know of anyone that speaks fondly of the later Halo games, I would like to play 5, but I know it's not good, and I'm just waiting on Infinite to hit my strike price. I played MCC a lot later after it came out, so must of those bugs/issues were gone by the time I played it.
To say it dropped the massively is just not true. Many in the community hold H5 as the best mp mechanics in the entire series and say its what 4 should've been. Its campaign was trash but the MP is Fantastic and many faces of the community still play today and it only made 500mill in the matter of months but sure it dropped the ball massively. 4 was hated due to all the changes at once. And CoD like feature and rightful get hate but it's campaign story was liked by a majority of ppl. 343 hasn't nailed ot 100% but they get 1 thing perfect but F up in other places. Infinite had a good campaign and design but the story was a mess. The MP improves upon what Halo 3 was and is what many ppl wanted to go back to but it lacked content severely. So massively aint the word. Dropping the ball massively is when it's pure trash and unplay/unenjoyable. Most ppl blind by nostalgia so soon as 1 thing aint the same its hated cause Halo set the bar so high
FYI reach was not that good.
Halo-Pop like Gears Pop. Halo bowling. Halo Cooking Mama. There’s a reason why you won’t hear about them
With its smooth jazz and iconic New Mombasa streets, we need Xbox's next Halo game to return to the remarkable world of Halo 3: ODST.
Have to agree, loving the beta - well done Bungie and another great Microsoft exclusive!
Hmm I think it's the same thing like the halo 3 beta, nothing special just a beta. Nothing really to go delusional for like this tool. Relax, it's just a halo beta.
Halo is awesome, if there's any game I'm jealous of the 360 for, it's this one.
That I own more then one system, I been playing the beta and its been fun, the only things that kills the fun is people that think they need to cheat to win a game, but other then that its been fun and I got alot of videos save because all the nice kills I got.
Halo 3 I got alot of videos on to.
From a non-competitive player. It feels like they slapped beer googles on you.
-Recoil is terrible to bring the playing level down.
-AR's have been nerfed and you can EASILY run into safety from being in a wide open area.
-Melee is flawed (you can now hit the person that hit you in a short window and kill eachother)
-Nades are mini-nukes (easily pull double, triple or even higher kills off of one.)
I dont like when a game hold the player back.
