Halo Reach Beta is Fail

[SHMUPGurus]

Just wanted to say that Invasion and Invasion Slayer are not what I expected.

My problem with Invasion is not how people play, but it's mostly how the gametype has been made. The spawn points when you're invading as the Elites are just too fricking far away from the objectives IMO. Also, there's one where you'll sometimes get hit because you're dropping from too far up. That means your shield drops, and when the other team knows what they're doing, you're pretty much dead right away (the first time you never expect it, but hey, there's always a first to everything). Also... that Scorpion tank right at the exit of the Spartan base when you have the generator... Oh, and that guy with a shotgun waiting at the place where you have to drop the generator... Wtf! Some guys just like to abuse cheap shots I guess. Though I must say I like how it's all tense when you need to get the generator from the base. If the other team have good players, it'll probably be the most exciting moment in the whole game! There's carnage everywhere, haha!

For Invasion Slayer... I mean... If you want campers, you'll find them. If you want a full team of Elites going at you using Stalker + Beam Sword during close quarters encounters, you'll find them. Oh... and that damn stalker armor ability gets old really fast. I really hate how it's so easy to get kills with Elites that have it because of the sword. Spartans get shotgun + armor lock at one point, but it's just not the same thing at all. Also, if you want teammates not having a clue that you need to get to the reinforcement areas to have the advantage, you'll find them. Speaking of reinforcements, the vehicles just don't last long at all. I mean, there are people spamming grenades everywhere in the map when a vehicle comes around it's not even funny. One last thing, the spawn points are weird. It should automatically select the closest one to a reinforcement area or one that doesn't have any enemies lurking around it. Sometimes, you just spawn and bam!, there are three people waiting for you! I guess I should move the camera and check myself if there are any enemies waiting, but I'm lazy, lulz.

Overall, I guess I'll give the gametype some time. I know the mode is new and all, but man... I didn't die so much from cheap shots in a LONG time! And I like all the other modes in Reach (OK, maybe not SWAT but that's about it).
