Ryan Geddes writes, The Halo: Reach multiplayer beta hits Xbox Live on May 3, and we've thrown a lot of info your way about what to expect. For the full rundown, check out my hands-on preview of the Reach beta, and my interview with Bungie Multiplayer Design Lead Chris Carney for even more in-depth info.
But that only gets us so far. How long will the beta last? How does it work? Which disk do you need? What's up with those crazy executions and armor abilities? We reached out to the IGN community through Twitter to find out what you wanted to know about the upcoming beta. Here's what you asked, and here are my answers
GF365: "Oftentimes, video games have characters who are antagonistic and really not very pleasant. Here are some of the friendliest characters in games where you might not otherwise expect to find them."
Talented writers can build worlds that are as wondrous as real-life. Here are the best lore-rich video games for you to get immersed in.
How'd fallout not make the list. Atleast over cyberpunk, tales , and halo. Fallout been around since what 96 98 and has 5 6 games into it. It's full of lore when you play it. I'd even add star ocean to a point.
narration is more important than lore i'd rather watch the story and characters in a more cinematic way instead of searching for notes and stuff that's why i love sony exclusive games like uncharted and gow and hate from software games
Halo’s best ever campaign mode developed by Bungie has had its most annoying feature fixed after more than a decade, making the sci-fi FPS game better than ever
Awesome news - so can we look forward to playing Halo: Infinite with no online issues circa 2033?
Well I guess 12 years is faster than most fixes. I guess this is a cheap way to "remaster" something nowadays.....by just fixing something that used to always be broken.
Halo is dead. Microsoft has other shooter franchises it cares more about now. 343 are no longer Xbox golden studio. They are likely to shift things around or even close it all together and give the IP to someone else.
343i decided to pummel the IP into the ground...and when they see it didn't quite look like Glenn's face they decided to just keep on pummeling. Not sure if Glenn is the IP or the fanbase in this case though.
“ Halo Infinite, Halo 3, or Halo: Combat Evolved. It’s hard to say which of the sci-fi FPS games offers the best experience all round.”
He lost me with Halo Infinite.
Im going to be chiefin on the blood of all you Master Chiefs....oh wait this is Reach I MEAN SPARTANS!!!
Hype train is going a billion miles for this towel.
.....Wanna get high?
I dislike how there are only certain game types where you can be Elites.
I'm gonna miss my Elite.
