Halo Reach Beta

Anyone else playing this yet? I started playing yesterday and I'm pretty impressed so far - very refreshing compared to Halo 3s multiplayer. They've added in unlockable armor that will give certain things a boost in game, I'm not too certain how much of a difference they make yet though, haven't had enough time to observe the difference.

I never bought ODST, so I don't think I can play it...

Yeah, unless you get lucky and get a free beta code somehow, you'll need ODST to play. I think all of the hardcore Halo 2 players get sent a free beta code if memory serves...

One thing I just learned from Revo's website (www.new4noobs.com): the assault rifle and plasma repeater (plasma rifle replacement) lose accuracy with sustained firing, best to use short bursts... which may explain why I couldn't hit anything with them

The unlockable armor is just for show. It doesn't help/hinder anything. You're right about the "refresh." I played it Monday nigh & last night, and it is tons of fun. The new abilities that replaced equipment are sweet. Armor Lock ftw!
