I have not participated in Halo: Reach beta, and I have no idea what are the changes, and are a little too lazy to look for them.

What are the different things that are put into place for Reach?

Weapon categories and such.

Thanks in advance

Um all guns have "recoil" where the crosshairs spread and such. You can only be a spartan unless it's a covenant playlist, then your elites. That's off the top of my head.

So no more super accurate Battle Rifle on the move type of weapons?

I think they stayed at "0" while moving, but shooting spreads them.

Some of the covenant weapons are super accurate, or they lock on.

I guess move and shoot still prevails in Halo.

Is "Halo Jumping" still going on? The formula was

Halo = Bunny Hopper's dream

Na, they just jetpack now. And armor lock wad useless. They go behind you while you sit there and when you go out, you get assassinated.

So jumping around and shooting is nerfed? Or has it been enhanced with the jetpack?

Ya instead of jumping, they jetpack farther above to shoot you.wasn't OP, but it was annoying. But you don't jump 20 ft in the air anymore also. And you have a sprint armor ability.

Jumping has been enhanced with the jet pack. Shooting has been nerfed on some guns, but not all.

Oh god. I had forgotten all about bunny hopping in FPS's... At least it doesn't seem as out of place in Halo I guess.

I didn't try the Beta so I can't say. I did check the Reach forum on Gfq quite a bit and overall everyone seemed pretty positive about it.

Awesome's idea of Party Forge really makes me want to play! We need more freakin' robots though.

I guess I would just have to play the actual game to figure out whether this is nerf or buff.

There is the DMR, though.

A single shot rifle, designated marksman rifle. It I'd like a 4-5 headshot iirc.

So they just swapped out M16 for an M14 now. Interesting

Ya. And also iirc, the reset for crosshairs on it was about 1 second.

It kills in 5 shots if the last one hits their head, so it is inferior to the BR.

If it is anything like the covenant rifle from Halo 3, then it should be still really good. I preferred that over BR in Halo 3.

It's balanced I think. Takes some skill.
