This is the first post here. Nothing much to really say though, xD.
The Halo Reach Beta came out yesterday afternoon and I'm really liking it (despite the fact that pugging around online sucks). The loadouts are all fairly balanced between how much they own and how much they suck. They all start with AR, Pistol and 2 Frags (except when playing Covy gametypes where you get either a Plasma Repeater or Needle Rifle and a Plasma Pistol).
I LOVE playing Covy Slayer because playing as a Sangheili with their Evade ability is awesome! Only the Elites (Sangheili) have the ability to do the Evade maneuver, however, that's the only ability they have (at the moment).
There are bits and pieces here and there that could be tweaked to make the game play a little smoother and/or better (things like giving me a higher sensitivity... even on 10 I feel really slow), but all in all it's a great game so far. I can't wait until the retail comes out!
