halo!

Less than 24 hours later, Bungie revealed exactly how big the beta's first-day turnout was. "We had over 1 million unique players login to the Reach beta," the studio announced via Twitter. It also promised that it had rectified many of its server issues and the beta experience should be "smoother" as the week progressed. The developer expects over 3 million people to play the beta before it ends on May 19.

 

The Halo: Reach beta can be accessed through the menu of last year's hit shooter Halo 3: ODST. It will initially include three different playlists that players can experiment with. While a variety of new and old match types will be covered, the playlists will feature the game's new four-on-four Team Deathmatch Arena mode. Bungie will add in a fourth playlist, which focuses on large-scale Spartan vs. Elite matches and introduces the "Generator Defense" match type on May 14.

 

For most of the beta, access will be limited to Xbox Live Gold subscribers, as is typical for multiplayer gameplay on the Xbox 360. However, Xbox Live Silver members will get a chance to play the Reach beta (as well as Halo 3 and Halo 3: ODST) online for free from 9 a.m. PDT on May 14 through 9 a.m. PDT on May 17

No it isn't. Halo sucks. **** Halo, **** Master Chief and double **** 'hardcore' Halo fans.

I never understood what attracted people to Halo, I've always found the games to be quite boring.

It's not so much they're generic **** as much as they are just bland. It's simplistic gameplay that can catch a fanbase, but unlike other games that start simple (WoW comes to mind) there is no complexion for experienced gamers.

 

We'll have to see how Halo: Reach plays out, not sticking to traditional Halo online models.

Same here. I found the setting cheesy and the characters childish. The overall visuals of the game didn't attract me.

i've never played halo before i saw it's trailer it's not very impressive.

Halo is ****ing shallow and full to the brim of 10 year old ****ers who do nothing but bitch at everything and everyone. It appeals to the retarded and stupid, of which there are a great many.

 

 

This is the truth. If you can not handle the truth, then well. You suck.

 

 

 

Honestly though, I don't really care about Halo one way or the other.

Halo is awesome when playing on a console with friends, but crap in any other way.

The problem with those Halo games lately is that it has failed expectations on the PC version, which is why there isn't going to be a Halo 3 for the PC version anyway. Although I never played the Halo series. it remains to the fact that now other game series are way better than this one. Even the Unreal series (including UT) should have pwned them, because their gameplay and graphic quality are way better than the Halo series.

I like Halo.

 

I can't stand the idiot culture that has grown up around it though like a thick and tangled kudzu weed garden. Morons foaming at the mouth. Unless you're playing exclusively with friends the online is pretty much worthless, and you can only play the campaign so many times.
