I got a code just recently. Downloading the beta now. I will post some thoughts and impressions and some videos from my file share soon!

*P.S.: Yes, I'm using a different account if that's what you're thinking about.



Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

just played a couple hours, hope i don't get banned for playing early.

Well, same here. That's why I'm using another account... but I think it's legit. I mean Bungie and other sites are giving away codes now anyways. Just not taking any chances!

So far, did one Slayer on Powerhouse and one 1 flag CTF on Sword Base. The melee feels very different, gonna have to get used to it I guess! It seems like spamming grenades instead of rushing for a melee kill is more advantageous in this game. Not sure if I like it, but whatever.

Also, a little pic I took: http://img297.imageshack.us/img297/5352/reach1904full.jpg

I did. Me and randoms have been getting matched up against well oiled parties. Been getting donged on. Game is pretty fun though. Like the changes so far. Really alters the Halo experience, but still feels like Halo.

How do you go about getting a code?

Halo 3:ODST contains Halo Reach beta access code.
Halo: Reach is coming out Q4 2010. Most 360 owners and Halo fans are really looking forward to this game. It will be a huge improvement over Halo 3/Halo 3:ODST.

I must say that I'm adapting to the new mechanics. Sprint perk is definitely the best one out there. Cloaking one is just overpowered, you have a 50/50 chance of surviving against one that uses it, even if you know what you're doing because it will probably end in a melee bash fest and you'll die along with the guy (still didn't fix that from Halo 3 I see... *sigh*).

Also, SWAT and 1 Flag CTF are the worst game types, especially with the maps they give you in the beta. I just don't find the games fun at all.

Here are my stats so far: http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/default.aspx?player=Un%20Faux%20KIRK . I really suck, haha! At least you can change your Social Settings in this game, which is pretty awesome, so I don't really care about stats so much.
