Halo: Reach beta is over: What did you think of it?

First, watch the above video. It’s absolutely hilarious.

Anyway, the Halo: Reach beta is now over. Thousands of people got to experience new weapons, the armor abilities and new gametypes. It took a while for the beta to grow on me, but overall I really enjoyed it. I especially love how the armor abilities just dramatically change how people will play Halo now.

There were plenty of issues, especially in terms of the weapons like when I would unload a full clip from the assault rifle into someone, melee them and then they still KILL ME! This is a beta, so it can’t be faulted too much. Plus, Bungie is notorious about weapons balancing and the beta will help them figure out what to fix. 

What were your overall thoughts on the beta? What did you really like or dislike and what do you think needs fixing?
