I currently have 2 accounts

2. Ranked ----
Social 3.58
high skill 1

I have a propper account for when i want to play for a challenge, and a rubbish one where i have no Ranked games and a good social k/d. I only play on that one for a laugh

Of course my xbox360 gets the red ring of death just before the beta.

Hah, my best friend has exactly the same. It's another scheme!

IT'S OUT!

Taking ages to download the Beta, It's on 8% after 45 minutes. I'm considering downloading overnight 'cause I wanna play Borderlands, but I'm going to be kicking myself in an hour or two when everyone on my friends list is playing it.

sorry lord loss I just saw you quoted and didn't realise. And mines on 23% After a few minites.

Mine downloaded in like 5 minutes.

On a side note, bastards only play 2 game types, the game type selection sucks, and because of it all you get to play is headhunter and flag grab.

The focus beam rifle is completely kickass btw.

Sprint should've been standard like in Modern Warfare instead of being an armor ability. :(

I agree, it makes no sense.

Cloaking is my favorite :3

Stalker>all.

Unless you're a scrub. In which case, we all know you're jetpacking it up.

SCRUB!

Yep, I agree, but, I'm already fed up with it, the people lack teamplay, and all they want to play is either capture the flag variants, or headhunter, which just comes down more to luck then skill.

I'm downloading overnight, will check out some vids later. Download moving slower then 1% per ten minutes.:(:(

Started downloading while I was eating breakfast. It was at 20% after 15 minutes and I just got to school, so it's probably done by now.

Catching a bus home instead of waiting for my mother to finish work so I can get more time to play.

dear god this download has taken a while. Finally at 91% This better be freaking worth it!

I think you're missing the point of the beta.

This is a mere preview of one of the year's most anticipated games. Of course the fanbase is going to want to try all the shiny new things at first!

Took 2 hours download, and finding a game is near fething impossible since it takes ages lol, got 7 games in though, so im currently 7/0/0, so all good


Also, jetpack + G-launcher kicks ass.

Been amused with the camo too though, seems like some nice possibilities.

Sprint - Dislike it, has minimal use tbh.

Shield - has to be as much use as a chocolate teapot so far.
Every time ive seen someone do it its been followed up by them being assassinated.


All in all though, ive found my MW2 replacement lol.
The new tricks should have a ton more use when playlists and more maps are released in the actual game, but until then, they seem limited.

I do like the fact that you cant use tricks while carrying flags.
Stops people grabbing it and running off / cloaking / flying away.


Allready have a few vids saved, mainly a killamanjaro in free-for-all.
And a double overkill on 1 flag. (people dont seem to know its a 1 hit kill lol)



One thing i do miss though is the height of jumps :(
Makes me a sad panda that you can only just ninja people on it due to reduced jumping :(

took me like 5-10 mintues.
also stalker is the best. predetor time.
especially with snipers.

Love the snipes, and since the gameplay is nice and smooth im yet to get a headshot that fails to kill lol.

Recently in halo 3 its been a bit off with headshots.


just a bit irritating that no one does pro or swat, they allways take objective -_-

anyways, bungie will be adding new playlists into the beta at some point, more fun lol.

my only problem is that the server is flooded with players to the point that its been overloaded and doesnt connect half the time I try to play lol. Only got 2 games in before the connection was overloaded, but i keep losing because I havent played a Halo game in MONTHS.
That being said, new Assault Rifle's sound effects are awesome, it actually sounds powerful now. Also, at one point I absolutely annhialated a dude with what appeared to be a lock-on cluster plasma grenade launcher

I'm hearing a lot of good things about Active Camo. Like... well, it's fething amazing!

^ oh god its a reasonable marine. but watch. it gets nerfed. jet pack should be faster. the point is to escape fire. its not doing that.

garret wrote:jet pack should be faster. the point is to escape fire. its not doing that.

No it's not. It's for getting to high-up areas or gaining the advantage of height in the middle of an open battlefield. Sprint is the one you use to escape.

I cant wait to see machinima from rooster teeth with reach.
But it still should be faster.

I just watched their latest.
Although it was a PSA rather than an episode.
Yeah and i wonder how long it is till they swap over?

My main question is, how long is the beta going to be avable is there a certen date when we can play no more untill the realease of the full game, some one please inform me?

The cadian 45th

God damn! Grab Bag is CTF EVERY SINGLE GAME. Why the sudden obsession with it?

I'll stick to Arena until Invasion gets released.

No, they are only picking one of the lesser shiny ones, compared to the rest of the choices>_<

There's two different CTF variants.

Of the two, 1 Flag CTF is far more fun on the maps provided. Stockpile is a pain in the arse if you don't have people who know wtf to do.

But ehh. It's more fun to play a CTF variant than the slayer variants all the time.

Downloading it now... 87% - should be done in a few minutes

Anyone who wants to add me and have a bit of a Dakka game, my GT is my username here

Played a few matches with Cheese today - you're not bad, dude! And for posterity, today's arena ranking: 1634.
