Halo Reach Beta Review / First Impressions by OMFGaming

[Saport95]

Do you recommend it?

[mariofanoo1]

im so annoyed when the beta was up i was on holiday so thats really annoying

[moonpig94]

@mariofanoo1

My internet stopped working as it was 94% downloaded.It didn't get fixed till the day after it ended

[BlazekinTV]

@moonpig94 DAM that sucks!

[xXLILDELLXx]

ugh i wanted to play the beta but it would spoil the game so its sucks to who ever all ready ruined it for them selves

[therandomvideoer]

how do you get the beta

[TheLastmanFilms]

@therandomvideoer The Beta is over, it is no longer available.

[tom3167]

i like the fact that the game types are all awesome instead of just wanting t play slayer

[XxLeGITPWxX]

1 PEOPLE ARE MAD BECAUSE THEY BROUGHT A PS3

[xdctfrgfaeystryf]

it looks fun but im still not sure if i am going to buy this or Front Mission Evolved

[SergeantMarcus]

@OMFGaming They are making MW3 because IW already announced it on ign.com!

[CoLToNdh]

It was only hard to get in the game because it was the first day and everyone was on the beta

[nigsgonecrazy]

Halo sucks, COD is way better, halo can bite me penis

[Blueblur720]

then why comment retard go suck call of duty COCK

[giveittomejohnny]

@nigsgonecrazy if it was big enough...

[iHORTYxz]

are snipers in the classes? that would be awesome!

[OMFGaming]

@iHORTYxz In some specialty gametypes, I'm sure a sniper class will be available. But not for your average slayer games. In custom games you can choose what loadouts are available, so you could make one if you want!

[iHORTYxz]

@OMFGaming ahh thanks for informing me :) im currently a ps3 player and literally just ordered the new xbox, mw2 and halo reach :P

[BossMan4714]

@OMFGaming Bungie said that none of the major power weapons would be in the loadouts in the normal playlists/gametypes.

[DrowningGiraffe]

I think Close Call should only occur if you live. I find it annoying when I die and the awesome announcer goes "Close Call!' anyway.

[OMFGaming]

@DrowningGiraffe 100% agree. A close call is decided exactly when you kill the enemy. If you had no shields, it was a close call. But the game should wait and see if you live for at least 1.5 seconds before announcing it.

[5534h]

yh i know it has forge now, after like 3 weeks...well 2.......:D:D just can't wait, snapping toop, putting things inside walls and evrything!!!!!! <3 bungie so much



[aperson30]

wait 5 sorry

[TheDarthcool]

People MW2 is gonna die finally!!!!!!

[OMFGaming]

@TheDarthcool It will not die. FOr better or for worse, MW2 will be played for a long time, now that IW isn't making another one.

[KaiserReich98]

@OMFGaming Yah MW2 is awful though.

[TheDarthcool]

@OMFGaming Yes it is fun but it is going to die slowly by 2011 or so it will be gone and if there are still stragglers playing it bravo they have managed to play a horribly laggy game.

[kingsofcomedy10]

@TheDarthcool Fan boy warr lol

[TheDarthcool]

@kingsofcomedy10 I accept it unlike a lot of queers i am a fan boy of Xbox and Halo but i do play the PS3 and it does have a few good games. All in all i accept i am a fan boy.

[kingsofcomedy10]

@TheDarthcool Well thats good i respect everyones opinion

[90rubixcube]

@TheDarthcool black ops?

[TheDarthcool]

@90rubixcube Possible but Treyarch actually listens to there community so they might live.

[bob2bobert2bobertson]

this game ='s Fucking Amazing

[deadhawk1212]

Dude, before I knew about the new juggernaut like 5 days ago I was thinking 'there should be a gametype where one person has a skull and a grav hammer and everyone has guns....'

Never knew it was already in XD

[MrMackan12]

FORGE FTW

[SuperStaber]

someone tell me how long the beta was

[footballfamily51]

@SuperStaber im pretty sure it was two weeks

[BUXTON990]

..the beam rifle was in the beta too wasn't it?

[F1NJP]

0:13 NINJAH! :D

[takanuvathegreat]

i loved this beta! and the acurate weopons!

[5534h]

i just really hope reach has forge too :D

[OMFGaming]

@5534h It will

[nightofhalo]

@OMFGaming and it will have forge woprld

[LCclanProductions]

@5534h It has forge Bungie announced it

[TheSecondNobles]

@5534h It duz

[Skarnusur]

@5534h Reach has Forge on steroids and crack, ITS AWESOME!!!

[aperson30]

@5534h hell yea man theres gonna be a forge world (a combination of 6 remade maps in 1 huge part of halo) itll be badass

[SNExotics]

I thought this game was really good from the beta. The graphics and details look great and I thought armor abilities were awesome. There are a few thing that they need to fix though...

[JustGamerz1]

can you create your custom slots or are they done for you

[OMFGaming]

@JustGamerz1 Loadouts are preset according to the gametype. I'm sure in custom games we will have the power to choose what loadouts will be available to players, but in matchmaking it is locked in.

[robross1992]

You joking? Juggernaut in the beta was plain terrible, worst game type ever, needs fixed for the full game

[oliverking1]

@robross1992 its good it makes evryone work together i know moste ppl is going on ther one but if they do that on this juggernaut evryone wil be raped

[phoerypt]

@robross1992 I kinda agree with you.The Juggernauts are supposed to be powerful but not too powerful. Everyone has to team up to kill the juggernaut which people didn't do as much in the beta.

[vicrockz89]

The detail in the environments and guns are amazing. Certainly a graphical beast.

[OMFGaming]

@vicrockz89 Seriously! This is the first Halo game with aggressively good graphics!

[Beatles4Evr426]

@OMFGaming and what's funny is that im hearing an awful lot of people say that the graphics arent very impressive... and that's bullshit

[wengkeat5]

@OMFGaming

Halo 3 ODST has great graphics too you know

[OMFGaming]

@wengkeat5 Yeah, the graphics were good in ODST (same graphics engine I believe) but the art direction I didn't like. It was way too dark to notice most details, and I honestly wasn't impressed visually. I'll have to go back to it and check it out.

[mpwner11]

the beta is suppose to end may 19

[Masterchef2112]

the one thing that i dont like about the beta, is that sometimes i have no idea how i died. particularly with getting pummeled or whatever. a good example of it looks like it happened right in the beginning at 0:17, you were freaking shooting that guy for so long before he even turned around, and you hit him but some how him just hitting you once killed you? i might just be missing something but if thats some trait or some new thing you can do...........then that freakin sucks

[OMFGaming]

@Masterchef2112 In that instance, the first guy pummeled me to drop my shields, and the second guy meleed to finish me. That first guy meleed me shortly after I got him, but he should have died first. Bungie's compensation for split-second lag...

The only major fix I ask of Bungie is to up the damage on the AR. Right now, it is much more efficient to double-punch than melee and spray, unlike in Halo 3. Also the sword was nerfed...

[BL00dY8on3z]

and slayer area to

[avp3player1]

I liked halo 3 alot, but everygame i played lagged really terribly and i know it's not my connection >.>, I like this beta the only thing i dont like is how you have to pick the scout class in order to dash :(. In the full game will we b able to customize our own loadout? and i hate armour lock. I have only failed with it.

[SwiftEffect]

Hey guys, give me an answer to the question i am going to say. Why do i not like Reach, i loved Marathon, Halo CE, Halo 2, Halo 3s multiplayer, I HATE REACH, i go positive in every game, i dont suck at it, why do i hate it, IT DOESNT FEEL LIKE HALO 3, I loved halo 3 in my opinion especially mlg?

[OMFGaming]

@SwiftEffect Hmmm, I'm not sure what to tell you. I love the game. It still feels like good 'ole Halo to me, but with some awesome additions and great new features. Hopefully it will grow on you. You'd be missing out not to sink your teeth into Reach.

[Rcee01]

@SwiftEffect

Well, your not the only one feeling that way, i also feel your frustration, I can't seem to get into the game, it just doesn't feel like halo at all, I will still buy the game for the story mode, and get the most achievements out of it, ill will be playing ONLY team slayer pro, and maybe couple of other games but not team slayer.

[DrActionSoluna]

@SwiftEffect its probably because 1 its a beta and probably has bugs up the bum and then some still, and 2 its not Halo 3. I know I had the same problem when I started the beta, still confusing the punch button for B from time to time, but that's not the point. All I can say is try to lower your expectation of the beta being amazing, because its just a testing area for Bungie to improve the multiplayer. All I can say is, keep trying the beta and wait for the Reach to come out to make ur opinion

[ps3isdead17]

@DrActionSoluna If you get confused with the melee button you should change it to the recon button layout, is much easier is like playing with the H3 controls.

[jarbar123]

@SwiftEffect you're not trolling hard enough

[imaddictedtomusic4]

Wow, Great review. Definitely subbed.

[OMFGaming]

@imaddictedtomusic4 Thanks dude. The commentary on this vid is a little rough, you'll probably notice a significant difference in the future :)

[kickingnscream]

What does it mean if the beta is closed?Ended?

[OMFGaming]

@kickingnscream The Beta will only be available for 2-4 weeks, then we will have to wait until the game launches in Fall before we can play Reach again :(

We'll be posting Halo Reach videos with commentary for a long time after the beta, so keep an eye out

[extremeboyHD]

Nice! Are you getting it?

[OMFGaming]

@extremeboyHD Am I going to buy Halo Reach? Absolutely

[rosenchuck1]

Great review!
