Call of Halo: Reach


I don't like all of the similarities to Call of Duty that I'm seeing.

The noob tube does not appear to be an attachment, but rather it's own weapon. Tons of FPSes have nade launchers.
Tac knife doesn't seem to act anything like the one from MW2.
Sprinting has been in Bungie's consideration since Halo 2. Which is before COD decided to have sprint, mind you!
COD is not the only game to use SP maps as MP maps.

But let's see what other similarities there are!

Despite the fact that the mechanics between the two series have been completely different, like Halo's excessive auto aim and crazy jumping and recharging shields, this is definitely a clone! Bungie should be ashamed!

well the auto aim is to effect weapons with diffrent levels of handeling, like a pistol compared to a sniper riffle, you don't want people to be able to use a sniper in C.Q.B. as easily as a smg, that would be like a shotgun on crack. the only thing I don't like about halo is its level of linear gameplay, and timed levels, I hate timed anything.

I had an epicgasm when I saw the new backstab.
Holy fuck. I want to do that.

Are you sure you're talking about halo and not drakes fortune?

That vidoc was great. I didn't realize they'd optimized so much.

I keep forgetting that this will be running on the same hardware they built Halo 3 for. I get so used to expecting games to improve as PC hardware improves that I forget console games only upgrade their hardware once every few years. Taking that into account, I'm becoming quite impressed with the engine Bungie's put together.

Despite my issues with it, and again like I already said, it looks like a good game still. I just hope it's not a case of Halo2ism where they showed us this great engine then said woops the Xbox can't handle it...

On the side of multiplayer, who here is going to laugh their ass off if there's a another promotional armour choice like in halo 3 and ODST with the recon and johnson set ups?
I can already see it now, "Do this to get [insert armour here]!!111ONE!!"

This close to the public beta I'd say it's pretty much what you see is what you get. It would take some horrible planning and mismanagement of the project, pushing back the release date several months, to allow the final game to be significantly different than what we see here. Then again, that's what happened to Halo 2, isn't it? :-3

e: @warlord: why would that be funny/bad? I like the concept of rare armor permutations. Just so long as they don't do it as paid dlc I'm happy.

Im just remembering how frantic people got when Recon was only given out by bungie, hacked accounts, fake screenshots, general rage in certain playlist [not naming anyone here...KORNMAN]
