TRMNTR Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 Cool. Cya then! _____________________________________ DMR Tip If you're in medium to close range, spam the trigger 4 times or until you see the shields pop, then let the reticle bloom reset and then take the last (controlled) headshot.

Aftrunner Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 Some cool stuff. Modders are tearing the Beta code apart and this is what they have found out so far. http://shawtyboy.com/Halo%20Reach%20Secret%20Information.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aftrunner Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 Oh my f**king god. Ok I know its not slayer so he is killing a lot of people that arent looking at him but seriously you gotta admit that is pretty f**king insane. 41-0 FFS! Edit: Also I think Arena is now open. Although the thought of running across machines like this guy above makes me wanna stick to Grab bag instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRMNTR Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 And the way he uses the weapons! Commendable. And if saying it once wasn't enough, he get's two "Hail To The King" in a row! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyofx Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Reach, unlike earlier Halo titles, delivers a gargantuan amount of improvement in Detail, graphically speaking. All the videos have so far shown the impressive level of detailing in the weapon models. I disagree! I've seen couple of Reach HD videos on LIVE and can assure that the graphics are definitely waaaaayyyyy better than HALO 3! Check out ViD Doc 2 which includes lots of game play... Will confirm that same after getting hands on exp on BETA! Thanks guys. Good to see nice folk around, unlike SOME PEOPLE (SHAFTRUNNER) And it's official. That friend of mine is BROWN.

WhiteWolf Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 PLAYED THE BETA TODAY....IT WAS GOOD.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulovski Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 ^^ Start typing without caps - consider this a warning. On game related stuff: Grenades are too powerful, and the DMR is crappy. Pistol is nice - not as powerful as the ODST magnum, but definitely usable. The AR is very weak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jDaMn Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 I think very few people have actually played the DM role in games before. The role is supposed to be: 1. Support at mid-long distances in squad sized situations, as opposed to the (usually) two/single member sniper teams. 2. Movement is normally with the squad as opposed to more independent positioning (sniper). 3. As a DM, you have greater responsibility for controlling the battle and taking out the opposing DM (if any) than for being the first to meet the opposing team. 4. A DM is not always a one shot one kill role, cover fire is also required of a DM. I wish this can hold true even in a faster game like Halo. The Reach DMR is probably easier to use than in more 'realistic' games, where if you land yourself in a close quarters fight you're pretty much dead. I personally love the idea of it being an unforgiving weapon in close quarters (missing a DMR shot at close range can cost ya). Hopefully, it will help divide teams up by role (instead of the BR handling everything from close in to across the map). Remains to be seen if people adapt to it and start using a DMR like a BR, or if only the ones with very good aim can do so. The frag grenades are DMR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devil_angel Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Does anyone know how long the Beta lasts? 6 months or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctis Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Does anyone know how long the Beta lasts? 6 months or something? Around 15 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devil_angel Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Around 15 days. say what? Are u sure? Coz I was thinking of buying a new ODST disk just for the beta.....If it's just for 15 days....it's sooooo not worth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jDaMn Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 say what? Are u sure? Coz I was thinking of buying a new ODST disk just for the beta.....If it's just for 15 days....it's sooooo not worth! Noctis is joking, Bungie won't be so cruel.. The last few days, May 16-19, (I think) as of now will be open to everyone, even on silver accounts. EDIT 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. The beta concludes for everyone else on May 19. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonekrazy3000 Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 personally i can't understand the dmr hate. its awesome once you get the hang of it. although i can understand people trying to use it like a BR and failing.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aftrunner Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Yep. I am starting to warm up to the DMR and I think in the end it will be a good change. Its a little tough to get used to but the problem isnt the DMR, the maps arent really the best ones to be using it. In the two maps so far its mostly a support weapon. With slightly larger maps its gonna become a fearsome weapon in the right hands. Needler rifle still pees all over it though, esp at close and medium range (DMR beats it at long range though). Also wouldnt mind playing Covie Swat slayer with the Nerfle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
