This new video was captured from the game’s alpha build and gives us a first glimpse at Halo Reach multiplayer beta. You'll be able to access the beta in two months through Halo 3: ODST.
Loakum Ugh….scratch that previous comment. The upcoming Game of Thrones video game is a F’in mobile phone game. Why can’t they came an open world GoT game, like Witcher 3 or God of War? (> 3 Months ago)
Loakum By FAR, the upcoming Game of Thrones King’s Road was the Game of the Show! It plays like God of War Ragnarok! :) (> 3 Months ago)
Loakum @Driftwood Awesome! I’m loving it! It does show a much crisper picture and the frame rate looks good! I was playing Stella Blade and Dragonball Soarkling Blast! :) (> 3 Months ago)
Driftwood @Loakum: enjoy, the one Sony sent us will be there on launch day. Coverage will follow asap. (> 3 Months ago)

Driftwood Another (French) livestream today at 2:30 CEST but you're welcome to drop by and speak English. I will gladly answer in English when I get a chance to catch a breath. :) (> 3 Months ago)

I really don't care about Multi Player and it bores me a lot that they just concentrate mostly on that aspect !
How times changed !
The graphics certainly look a LOT better than Halo 3, and the action looks as intense as ever. I love the new effects they added to the sticky grenade, that really looks great.
I'm just picturing Optimus crapping his pants and passing out after watching that.
My only gripe is that the jetpack thing might get really annoying? guess we'll see when the beta arrives.
And we did not like the HALO 3 new items but we get over it and now is the same problem and again we get over it
Guns look way more detailed than Halo 3. Player models didn't look much better. And the indoor environments didn't look much better either. Outdoor and the lighting, particle effects, and environments looked better though.
But most of the video game sites who have seen it first hand say it looks way better than Halo 3. They go as far as to say it'll be the best looking game on the 360 when it comes out.
So, I don't know.
To be honest i don't know how you can accuse Bungie of being Lazy. Where do you think Reach has come from? they didnt just start making it the passed few months..it's been their main focus since Halo3.
Fact is you don't know what new things multiplayers bringing to the table over what was offered in Halo 3, or the improvements placed over the finished product, untill it's in your hands. You're basing your opinion on a gutt reaction to visuals..remind yourself it's a BETA, not a demo, not the finished product..which wont hit for another 6 months after the beta.
I really hope they place a firefight mode in there.. and this time have it with matchmaking.
I just hope microsoft dont try to pull off a simular move Activision did with MW2.. and raise the rrp a fiver cause they know it's going to sell
Seriously, even Modern Warfare 2 looks like COD3 or so. Cheap textures, super linear, super small environments in campaign etc. just some more effects and more polys on the characters and that was it. The game evolved in multiplayer only, too.
Bungie is not the only developer who stopped at a certain point....
The gamemode here (Invasion) looks fun.
I think if you pay attention to the gameplay segments in the vid it looks very crisp, and alot cleaner than Halo 3 looked.
Bungie have also recently spoke about how theres a few surprises in the multiplayer.. i wouldnt lose faith in them just yet for not offering something innovative to the series.. they've not let us down before with their full releases.
It's a shame that certain fanboys will condemn the game as worthless no matter what though
Built from the ground up for X360 hardware and only X360 hardware with an unlimited budget. Meh I don't buy the X360 hardware is superior in the console race anymore.
Once again Halo MP will be unmatched cant wait to see what other features are to come.
I really like the new gameplay elements, graphics look ok, pretty much Halo 3 with bigger scale and more going on but honestly i don't care if the mp is as fun as it looks, looks really bad ass.
It's bungies/microsofts dlc practice that is the only thing giving me second thoughts about picking this up day 1..rather than waiting to get it cheaper.
The only thing that's the same is the style. People see the signature halo art direction and think it looks like more of the same. But if you have a critical eye, the upgrades are pretty obvious.
In any case, I'm looking forward to the beta. Not sure how balanced the new armor abilities will be (although I love the dynamic of choosing between sprinting or cloaking or a jetpack, etc. - all of which will likely require recharge time after being used) . . . but honestly, ironing out the balance is exactly what betas are for. Bring it on.
