The Halo: Reach multiplayer trailer has finally landed and oh my god does this look good. Diving rolls, assassinations, new weapons and so much more. Is that a sticky grenade launcher? Crazy!
Half-way into the video, we catch a glimpse of the new multiplayer modes such as Invasion and Headhunter. We get to see some of the new equipment items too, such as the jetpack and a personal Bubble Shield-type device.
I'm loving what I'm seeing here. What about you? May 3 can't come soon enough for the Halo: Reach multiplayer beta.

Halo 3 was below average for me
but this looks exciting
I want to try it
Also
Jetpack laser sword jousting
"jetpack and a personal Bubble Shield-type device"
Fuck off Halo and take your wierd alien pow pow zap zap guns with you. I'm sure millions of children are stoked though, they love that shit.
I'll stick to MAG, Bad Company 2 and Heavy Rain myself.
I'd say more (HNNNGG) but I have to watch that trailer a few dozen more times and dissect it for information.
I take back my last post. I too will return to generic modern bang bang (as opposed to zap zap) shooters and be incredible mature and manly in doing so. Thank for the heads up.
TRIBES HAS RETURNED! THE PROPHECY HAS BEEN FILLED! NOW ALL WE NEED IS A SPINFUSOR AND WE'RE READY TO GO!!!!
AMG, I CAN'T TAKE OFF CAPS, MY MIND = IMPLODED!
NEWS JUST IN!
PEOPLE *SHOCKED* HALO GAME LOOKS LIKE A HALO GAME.
I played them and thought they were muchos shit. Had heard a lot about how "different" this one was, apparently it's not different enough for me.
I mean super-mega-jumpy pads?! In a game made THIS MILLENIUM? Is there really any need? God i hate those things.
Ruined Resistance for me. Stupid weapons and super-mega-jumpy-pads.
"untouchable in the Online MP" - What? Really? I'm not even going to start, this is just ridiculous.
MAG on the other hand doesnt have a single player trailer
and if u dont like "weird alien pow pow zap zap guns" watchin a halo trailer is pretty stupid
I'm sure there have been online competitive FPS's with Jetpacks, but I can't recall any, anybody remember some?
Are you serial? /boggle
Anyhow MAKE TRIBES 3 Bungie. Just farkin doo eet.
No?
Out of my mind, then.
@Seraphis: They already made Tribes 3. It was called Tribes: Vengance. Nobody cared.
^THIS^
Seriously, I understand my opinion on Halo is moot, because I fucking hated every single one so far.
But still, that's my opinion.
I love how Halo guys will call MAG "generic", that's right, because every single FPS game has massive battles, loads of players, a command/squad/platoon system and dynamic player set objectives.
At it's very basic level (you can see your gun and shoot people) it's an FPS game, sure, but a generic one? Fuck No.
Now, Halo/Halo2/Halo3/HaloODST/HaloReach/Resistance/Resistance2 just to mention a few, are about as fucking generic as it gets.
It's not just the wierd alien needle guns, silly flying hover ships and super-mega-jumpy-anti-gravity-pads that i hate it's the way enemies will take a whole clip and a weird alien weapon butt to go down, or that it often descends into running around with super silly glowing sword stabbing people, I don't know, I've just never ever had a moment of enjoyment out of Halo.
From the very first Halo on the original Xbox, I thought it was fucking shite and it's failed to change my mind through any of it's many milked sequels.
If it makes you feel better, I retract my statement, it didn't need saying because you all know what i think about Halo.
I'll be honest and say that the Halo multiplayer never really was my thing. Might have been the pc elitist hate, but I dunno.
But for this one it seems that they just randomly throw in whatever they think of.
OMG JETPACKS. Put them in.
OMG THE SPECIALISTS IS SO COOL. Put diverolls in.
OMG AUTOKILLS BY PRESSING A BUTTON, THIS IS OBVIOUSLY THE BEST PART OF AVSP (not). Put them in.
Sometimes you need to have boundaries. Just throwing in all kinds of cool shit does not a good game make. THe same with those weapons. It's not like they're so different from the old ones, but they have some kind of quota it seems to add at least 20 weapons each game.
So wot I think is:
It might be fun, but I have my doubts about actually playing like this and especially the future of the series.
Although I knows you gots to troll, so carry on, bruv.
Fucking prick.
