I gave it a 9. Its pretty damn awesome. I am not sucking anyone's "dong". It needs a couple tweaks, but its really a blast of a game.

You should be able to see that on your own, so far 85% of those who voted think it was "good" or better.

I think the singleplayer will be amazing. Multiplayer needs some work. I like that Bungie seems to be trying to make Reach multiplayer more like Combat Evolved. I don't like that the DMR isn't awesome. I don't like that I can't kill more than one person on a full clip with almost all the weapons. I like the new game types. I like that grenades are back to CE-level damage. I don't like that people are still meleeing each other in the face constantly (because they're out of ammo). I wish armor lock was more like the overshield and not completely immune to damage. I wish the active camo wasn't so easy to spot because of the higher polygon count. I hope the armor abilities in singleplayer allow players to play through the campaign levels differently each time they customize their spartan.

Overall I gave the game a 7, both because it's Bungie, and also because the game still needs a lot of work. It's a beta, so I expect that. I had fun, I also had a lot of frustration.

i have a friend like you, the truth is, you're really bad at the game, so you take it out on the game instead of yourself, i feel a douche for having to say this but man, learn to play.

I will not join any groups, if you are about to send me a message about this subject, and you can read, leave now. If you send one anyway, I will simply ignore it. Let me put it this way, when I am willing to join I will find a group I like and join, or i would already be in it. Thank you for your offers but I am not looking right now.

Who thinks a game like this is horrible

Fix'd for ya.

Edit: I gave it an 8. Epic game, but it isn't without it's problems, but that's what a beta is for.

Good for you, theres a game called Modern Failure 2 out there for ya, since you seem to hate skill-based combat.

If Bungie fixes the problems with the game and launches all the features it says it will, it'll go from an 8 to a 9.5.

I see no problem. People like good FPS games, and Bungie is delivering such with their beta for testing.

I know Jesus.

5. I'm trying to defend it, and I'm not hating on it for being new, but it's just not that good. Like, I might buy it if they make some key changes, but until then...

Hello. I am a huge Halo fan and I always will be. Ive played 200+ matches of the Halo: Reach Beta. So you can't even imagine how upset I will be when Bungie flips the switch to the Beta.

7 because it needs improvement

7, things need to be changed. To many bugs right now and some unfair -blam!-.

Some guns need to be tweaked, vehicle gameplay needs to be re-thought IMO. The only vehicle I find fun to drive right now is the Ghost.

The warthog has weird steering, not fun to drive, and just feels awkward in general. The turret on the warthog feels really slow at times. You can't turn it as fast when you're firing it. That seems good in theory until coupled with the fact that it takes time for the turret to spin up.

The banshee is, again, awkward to drive. This may be due to the camera angle alone though, as most of the time I get confused at what altitude I'm actually at. It's health is also a joke. Apparently a person with an AR could do as much damage as a laser. Hell, when the Banshee was approaching me doing it's attack run, I had a gooddamn plasma pistol and I won using just the shots (no overcharge)...

The wraith is a joke, possibly the worst vehicle so far in the Beta. With extremely slow turning speed and really slow acceleration due to the high mass, it feels like you're sitting in a deathtrap, especially with tier 3 grenade launchers disabling your ability to move and shoot. And it doesn't even compensate with firepower. The shots don't do as much damage as the scorpion, and they arc, making them even more difficult to land.

The scorpion is awkward to drive also, but at least it compensates with really good firepower. Maybe a little too good.

The Ghost feels right in this game however. Fast, nimble, maneuverable and easy to control, just like it should be. It doesn't have a lot of firepower, but that's all right. The cannons provide a good enough backup if you happen to miss the splatter on people.

In conclusion, I think that the Player vs. Player combat feels very solid, but when vehicles are involved, then it becomes a chore.

Oh yeah, I give it an 8

You are a spartan. Your armor can deflect small arms fire, and can survive small explosions. Just remember to duck when you see a small, orange, plastic traffic cone going towards your face at a high velocity.

I gave it a 7.

Mostly because they have shoved down our throats AA gametypes.

But then again, they seriously wanted us to play the game with those.

I am hoping that if they can give us a playlist to play the game in its original format(no AA) when the retail version hits this fall. If they did, I'd give this game a 9 for Variety.

If they improved Forge and give the player more custom options for their custom games, then I'd give it a 10.

I had way more fun than I thought I would. There are some fixes to be made, but if I'm finding MP this much fun now, then they're doing things right in Kirkland.
