I'm looking forward to this. Anyone else jumping back on the Halo bandwagon?
-please reply with the Halo hate below :)
Never jumped off it yo!
Wow I was expecting a lot more halo hate.
AF, are you going to get the BETA? I'm pretty excited to see how the new changes work. It looks like they have made some good improvements to the multiplayer.
Did you have to buy some other game to get the Beta?
you can get into the beta if you have ODST
One of the things they are adding to the multiplayer this time around is the ability to upgrade the look of your spartan
In Halo: Reach, Rank is a global, cross-gameplay-mode-encompassing representation of the time you've spent in the game. So whether you're a Campaign-only guy, or a Matchmaking-only girl, or you swing both ways, you're going to be seeing that Rank advance as you keep playing.
Rank will increase over time as players earn more Credits. Credits are the lifeblood of the Player Investment system and they can be earned in all of Reach's gameplay modes, through a number of systems.
•Finishing games and Winning Games in Matchmaking - For the purposes of the upcoming Public Beta, this is going to be a significant source of earning Credits. There are very clear constants in the ways that Credits are earned in Reach across game modes and at the heart of those constants is Time. In the long run, the majority of Credits will be earned from this bucket.
Anyone else going to get in on the BETA on 05/03/10? We can revive the HTGP clan or the DPAS clan for some old school HALO fun!
Don't really care about the multi, cannot wait for the campaign.
Yeah it looks like they have added a lot of cool stuff to teh campaign as well, but i'm a MP whore.
The Halo: Reach multiplayer Beta begins on May 3rd and our current target end date is now set for May 19th. Of course, we'll be keeping close watch to see how everything is going.
they have a stream of the multiplayer up on GamesRadar. Lokks like Halo 3.2
Such a wild chase across the interwebs and filtering out all the fake tweets and whatnot to get a reach code and have failed so far.

The gamersyde footage is nice. It's 720p and 60fps (the video, not the game (as far as I know)). Basically looks like Halo 3 multi but much smoother, not jaggy to hell like Halo 3 was.

thanks orcus! Just checked it out.
For those fine folks (me included) who didn't get a beta key and don't own ODST here is a solution to our troubles. According to XBOX.com the beta doesn't go live til May 3rd and is accessed via the ODST disc that prompts you to download the beta starting on May 3rd.
So for the solution go out to your local game retailer and rent ODST and don't drop $40 for ODST.
Oh, Im ready! Just waiting for them to allow us to dowload it. Im heading home from work right now to log in some serious hours

Damn I wish I was off work today!!!
Let us know how it is!!!
alright, I got about an hour in late last night, and I have to say I like it so far. It's gonna take me a little while to get adjusted from MW2. One thing I can tell right away is the way they have it set up, if you have a good squad of guys that will work together you will run shit, and it will be a lot of fun.
The different load outs definitely bring a different aspect to the game play as well. It's a little weird playing as a covey, but i gotta say they move QUICK.

I'm not sure how to describe it Telfo, but yes, the spartans and the coveys move differently. so far I've only played in games where it was either all spartans or all coveys, no mix
