If you die in an elevator, make sure to press the "up" button.

You guys have too much work to do to be cranky-
Someone get these guys a Midol and a Snickers, its go time!


Anyway, the assassination are really cool, but I think it would be even better if there were weapon specific assassinations. So maybe one time you use your dagger, but another time you use the Needler in your hands to come up behind someone, stick it to their head and shoot till it supercombines. Or maybe with your gravity hammer you flip it around and smash them with the huge blade on it.

This probably wouldn't make any sense in campaign because it isn't stealthy but, alas, multiplayer assassinations are basically t-bagging someone while you kill them.

It is a great community for the hardcore gamer.

Some problems I have been noticing are with the color variation. For games like stockpile, if I am red team, my base indicator for the HUD is blue, but the actual color around it is red.

This is a simple problem with the enemy showing up as red, but it can be confusing when you are red team. Maybe switching to a different color scheme, or having a different logo for one's home base?

Am I missing a leg, or did I even have it to begin with?

My pet peeve: If you're going to quote me, do it right. My words of epicness don't belong to anyone else but me.

Halo Reach Beta Q&A Thread

No I don't have any Beta codes. Sorry :(

What about making one about gameplay mechanics such as Spawns?

SWAT spawns suck...

-_-

Also, can we haz The Spectre, Shade turrets placeable in Forge, and Firefight?

:D

The stats page on Bungie.net needs work. I'll add to this in the future, but I suppose to start with, it would be nice if we could sort stats by both playlist and gametype, instead of either or.

See me with my flames during Fall!

As we know, the Legendary Edition comes with the following:
*10LB statue of Noble Six
*UNSC-themed custom packaging
*An exclusive multiplayer Spartan armor effect (Flames :)
*All items included with Limited Edition

All this is for $70 extra. It seems like your paying for the Spartan armor effect instead. Not saying that the statue isn't worth it (because I have a nice place for it on my bookshelf), it's just like you going to the store and picking up a $70 statue. I have already pre-ordered my copy of Halo: Reach Legendary Edition (Fully paid off) and the total price came out to $160.49USD. This is Bungie's last Halo titled game, so I wanted to help them go out big.

But $20USD extra on top of the original copy ($60USD) price you get:
*Game disc housed in recovered ONI "black box"
*Exclusive in-game Elite armor set for use in multiplayer modes
*Dr. Halsey's personal journal and other classified documents

The Limited will run you $80USD as we all know. This seems like the better deal IMO. Before I continue, I would like to say I am not complaining. I fully paid off the Legendary, so I know what I am doing.

So, (to the point) I want to propose adding:
* Bonus cR ( Roughly ranging from 100cR to 2,000cR )
* Bungie Pro ( 6 months to 12 month subscription )
* Render Minutes ( 5 minutes to 15 minutes )
* Exclusive default armor of "The Lone Wolf" for your avatar


This would be a great addition to the Legendary Edition.

After 4 games, the spawning system still needs work. Better than Halo 3's, but it still need tuning.

No.

Please make the Main Menu nicer looking and more appealing.

My main gripe is with the colours of the elites. The Blue team is fine, but the red isnt prominent enough, and i end up tk'ing team mates by accident.

Not sure if it is just my eyes, but would be good if you could make the red stand out a little more, or cover more of the character.

Other than that, the DMR could do with a little more punch :D

Untutored courage is useless when confronted with well educated bullets.

can we get a better way to report bugs? like tagging videos and screenshots as bug or something? the forum is flooded with nonsense and I'm concerned that you will miss helpful feedback and bug reports.

I'm really enjoying the beta, you guys have done a magnificent job at bringing new things to multiplayer and still making it feel like halo. thanks for letting us have a chance to help make the game better.

I LOVE the main menu music, the score sounds great so far, I just wish I could hear more! As for a suggestion, is there any way we can get some relaxing or somber music to play during the matchmaking screens? I feel a little jaded with the warbles and background noises that pop in.

Were it so easy.

Improve on more areas of the game.
The small things count too.


Like more color options (a whole color pallette would be nice), maybe an option to combine clips in Theater mode, and maybe custom controls.

---------------------------------------------------------------
ALSO, please Bungie, hear me AND MANY OTHERS out!
-Increase the text size!
Many of us without big HD TVs and even some people with HD TVs are having a hard time reading the text in-game and in the menus.

I agree with the Stockpile coloring; home base should match the color of your team.

I think a 10% increase in the speed and jumping height of the Spartans would put us in a great spot for more competitive and faster paced gameplay.

If the stats page for Commendations could have some kind of counter until your next ranking, it would be interesting to know those statistics. Although most of them aren't too hard to figure out based on the corresponding medal count.

Thanks.

Looking for a person to do ODST Vidmaster's with, pm if you want to (Been getting ready for Endure)

Please increase the pistol's clip, I keep getting caught out when I have to reload because I'm short one bullet, i'm not asking for the Halo CE pistol, I just want 1-2 more bullets, everytime I'm about to get the kill and the enemies shields are down they kill me, of course putting two more bullets in the clip will of course improve how many times someone uses the pistol that's all, thanks for reading.

The beat down system for reach can use a bit more tweaking. like the fact that damage doesn't seem to carry over from weapons to beat downs is annoying. it takes 2 hits regardless of how much ammo i pumped into an enemy. i feel that the damage property should be carried over.

Also for 3 plots the points necessary to win should be increased or else earning the points should take longer. i played 3 plots once and won the game in 2 and a half minutes.

on a brighter note the maps look awesome

The assassination animations seem to engage when I don't want it to, or not engage when I wish it would. A personal setting to deactivate it might simplify things.

The overall feel of the matchmaking lobby is impeccable and I can't imagine how it could be better -- or I might have a job. Thanks for making countdown timers look sexy since I impulsively stare at them as they count down.

One of the last ~300 Halo 2 players ever.

The Hayabusa makes us more aerodynamic! We're going SUPER FAST!

I think that the BNet stat tracking for commendations could be made a tad clearer. Maybe give an actual number, as opposed to just the bar?

And also, maybe allowing us to review the credits we obtained in the last match we played in-game. I've often looked away from my TV to sort some sweet, sweet music out to play to, and missed my count. It's a minor thing, but still, I like stats. Phat stats.

When voting for what match to be played, please leave each playlist as zero rather than having everyone's vote already cast on the first option as I believe it confuses those who would wish to pick a different gametype when there already appears to be a clear winner.

Either I'm right or every match I've played (about 30 or so) have had the first game type in the list voted for with an overwhelming majority.

Speed up the game. Increase damage, amount of ammo in a clip, movement speed, jump height, or even the amount of players in the game. Just do something.

Soul slayer Ashido

Add a custom game seeker in the final game

That was Halo 3's biggest flaw. It was suppose to be revolutionary, and custom games was where the game was in your hands, yet majority of the time i only had like 3 other people to enjoy that with and it got old fast. Add a custom game search option to the menu so you can find some games that people want to allow to be seen to the public.

It's better than just allowing matchmaking to find a custom game. If you could search for a custom game with the attributes you want and if that party leader allowed to be opened "globally" then we would have a huge success here. I'm really hyped about this idea because I think it would be a great addition for the halo community. We already created a better way to get forge maps from each other so let's get to the next step which is finding custom games!

I'm wondering if anyone else feels the way I do. It seems as, if both player speed and jump height were increased somewhat, games would flow much better. Aswell, strafing, as it is now, is nearly impossible to execute. If player maneuverabilty was increased, I'd assume grenades and rockets would be easier to evade too. Now keep in mind, I don't know if it's just me. Hoping if changes in this respect would be addressed.
