also, if you get a code, do you still need the disc? and is it the ODST disc or the MP disc?
armor abilities are the new hotness. Plasma Launcher is legit. been playing for the past 3 hours
It’s the ODST disc.
Dammit, I wish they would have given me the early Beta pass…
My nephew got me an early beta code. Headhunter is too much fun. The loadouts are awesome. GOTY material here.
Dude you’re like waiting a weekend to play. Be different if these were given out a month in advance or something.
I lost the first headhunter cause I didn’t know what to do. I was collecting them and it took me a little while to notice you have to go to the circle things.
I won one game with 5 skulls with the leader at 25 or whatever. Killed someone with a lot of skulls (10) went to the circle and got a skullamanjaro. 
Dude quit out quick.
Can’t wait for the real game to come out as I’m guessing you’ll be able to fight Elites vs Spartans. That roll with a sword is pretty beastly; you can lunge right after a roll.
Damn managed to get onto expert zone but no sign of anything referring to Halo Reach, only ODST so I guess I missed it 
Anyone that happens to come across an extra early pass please send it to me :tup:
I tried it too and it didn’t work. I guess I’ll just play Halo 3 while making jet pack noises
My friend manage to snag one and I told him about it today or yesterday, can’t remember.
ROFL I was just in a game someone was making noises everytime they went over the man cannon
Tonne of gameplay footage is getting uploaded on youtube, arghhh its so frustrating! I should have skipped working today D:
One thing that ticks me off about this game that has been predominant in all the others is the game types. I like that you can vote on what to play but make the default always slayer! There’s always idiots that don’t vote and because of that I’m stuck playing oddball. :annoy:
Got about 5 oddball games in a row and just had to quit for the day.
Can someone confirm for me if there is fall damage?
There is, it’s been reported a while ago.
Good.
Fantastic actually.
I’ll be jealous if I want, dammit!
lol check this out
Yes but, so far I have yet to fall from a high enough height to lose health. Shield goes away though and I probably just haven’t gone too high to lose health.
Here’s a little review:
Sword- They made it less useful cause now you can cancel someone’s lunge with a regular melee attack. Which makes no sense.
Melee- They still have the H3 delayed melee where it doesn’t matter if you melee first, you’re both gonna die.
Sniper- Is fine. The only thing I don’t like is the way it “feels” when you get a headshot. It’s like sniping someone without a shield and less satisfying as opposed to the other games where you get a flash from the shield but that’s only nitpicking.
Rockets- Still slow but powerful so it’s fine imo.
Shotgun- Powerful but a little slower than before making it more balanced.
Grenade Launcher- Is ok. It doesn’t make sense that it’d have two options when firing. If you’re gonna do that, why not do it for all guns? It’d just add depth to the game play. Make the focus rifle have the second beam from Halo3, DMR-have burst fire in addition with singles, and so on. I doubt they’d change that in the final game as the beta for Halo3 was exactly the same as the real game IMO.
DMR/Needler BR- Both are alright. Takes a little to get used to slowing your shots to get that final headshot. I think the DMR is slightly more powerful but the needler br only requires 3 body shots for them to explode (without a shield).
Needler- Still sucks. For me anyways since I never liked it to begin with and will not pick it up. I think you have to take down they’re shield first before they pop as opposed to just tagging them with a couple.
Plasma pistol- Full charge takes a little longer but it’s slightly more accurate than H3 version although, you’re still gonna miss if they’re moving sideways.
Plasma Rifle? that other covenant gun that doesn’t allow a charge- Is actually pretty good. Taking someone’s shield down is easy and if you have a br or pistol, one headshot does the trick.
Hammer- Still the same, you get a lunge. I don’t think someone can cancel it with a melee like the sword or I have yet to see it happen. (I’ve attempted it before as well) So it’s a lot better than the sword.
My setup favorites go Jetpack>Running>Armor Lock>Camo
Depends on the game type mostly and Armor and Camo are a lot better in team games.
Now, I’ve gotten used to the reticule going inaccurate after a shot which I thought would be a good thing but, after playing it makes the game slower because it gives someone more time to take cover.
thanks for the review :tup: I’ve been working solid all weekend only realized it was 3rd of May tomorrow lol, and its bank holiday for us in the UK :rock:
Nice, hit me up with a friend request.
All in all it’s an improvement and at least they didin’t get lazy. I’ll be getting the real game for sure since I know I have friends who’ll play it.
