You've got Spartans on the ground...

My first impression of Halo Reach, Epic. It feels like Halo should feel but the subtle changes have all moved it towards it's final evolution. Although it is a Beta and there are plenty of things to be balanced, I find myself completely overjoyed with the addition of the armor power ups. There is a little bit of everything for everyone spread across the different abilities and they're all unique and effective in their own right.


Time will tell how some of the newest additions to the arsenal work out, currently I feel like the DMR is a bit weak for a marksman's rifle. The new Pistol feels much like the old pistol or more recently the Pistol from ODST and I find myself using it quite often to take that last well placed headshot once an opponents shields are down.

Overall Reach is feeling quite polished already and the new additions definitely add a bit of spice for both new and old Halo fans alike.
