i disagree with the jet pack thing
I like how it recharges quickly because then you can actually use it, it balances out because people flying in the air with those are easy targets
i dont really know how to use armor lock, i always die lol

Hey Jeremy I'm in for the whole clan thing you sent me on xbox last night, sounds like fun and as you could tell by playing that one game with me that I love this beta. I will try to be on frequently. I will be on mostly during night time hours though. So like 9pm and on my time on the east coast. Any who hit me up anyone that still has me on their friends list. GT: PhoenixRebornX
See you guys online!!!

Awesome bobby, I had fun too. Too bad the beta ends so soon, but come fall we attempt to be up and running again as a clan.

Just thought I would post this right now...
I like the beta, in the end I will always be a Halo guy, CoD (for example) is fun, but there are aspects of it that just bring it down way too much for lasting play (IMO). But back to Reach. The main thing that I think they could fix to the changing the 5 shot kill of the DMR to 4 shots (3 would be fine by me too, but that might be too much of an overhaul).
It just plain takes too long to kill someone with 5 shots, thus taking individual slaying power out of the game. Unless you are up against total noobs, you can not approach 2 players with your DMR and take them down because your strafing/aiming/jumping skills are greater, it just takes too long to kill one person, let alone 2 or more. I have yet to get an overkill (btw it should really still be a killtacular, not sure why they changed that in H3) because by the time you finish off one person, you have to reload, duck and cover, etc...
The other things is that the loadouts make it even harder to kill someone, thus the 5 shot kill is even harder to obtain. If you are getting shot, you can easily sprint around a corner, fly away (although that makes it easier sometimes to get a kill), throw on armor lock and you can escape to recharge your shields.
This essentially makes it like Halo 3, where individual BR's battle outcomes are often random due the the shitty BR. Combine the bloom with a 5 shot, you are emptying a lot of bullets to take down one person. Against competent opponents, you have no choice but to teamshot to get effective kills. Thats fine and all, but some aspect of individuality would be nice to see again. It was barely there in Halo 2, and of course, Halo 1 had it all.

Just played the Beta. Pretty good game play and feels quite natural. I did find it hard to kill people sometimes however. I am not sure how some of the guns work because I played with total noobs, but they seem quite balanced. I only played for two hours but I think it is a great game so far.

I'm going to have some cash from working this summer so I'm going to probably pick up reach or rent it and Ill be down for some TDC action...I feel like I'm an old man that is making a run to be like it was in my old Halo days.
