Once again, I managed to score an early invite to this most awesome video gaming event! Here are some first impressions...
- The first few menus are very busy. Armor and emblem customization take a little getting used to.
- Joining people just out in the world seems a bit hit or miss. Mostly miss, as the only way I was able join was via invite.
- The game is extremely good looking. This is a big step up from Halo 3 and ODST. Everything is intricately textured, from the terrain to the weapons. This game gives Modern Warfare 2 (MW2) a run for the money in the visuals department.
- I understand that this is Halo and a beta, but I really miss the driving music that MW2 has in all of the multiplayer levels. Everything in Reach seems quiet and subdued. That said, the weapon sounds are heavy, solid, and awesome.
- The new flag-gathering multiplayer mode is tons of fun, and the different load-outs make for many different styles of play. The guard mode seems very under-powered, as you can just wait for it to run out.
That's all for now! I gotta get back! See you on the bounce, Spartan! :P
