I'll play it if I hear confirmation of a BR. AR takes zero to little skill to get kills with.

I also heard Reach will be like Halo 2 where you do not have to lead long range shots, so if you're aiming at it, you'll hit it. I also saw a screen that showed the reticle on the far left side of the screen, which I don't understand at all.

If you're referring to what I think you are, I remember reading that it was a bug.

This is being advertised as the first gameplay video, but it's more of a "Making Of" video with a few snipets of gameplay. Graphics are amazing tho.

Bungie.net : Halo Reach : Multimedia

Battle Rifle in the video, guess I'll be playing if everyone else does.

Ill play the beta and most likely buy the game but its really annoying how they only made this game to make money off the Halo franchise. Its not even remotely based off of the book.

They didn't make it just to make money, Bungie takes it's fanbase very seriously and why does it have to follow the book? I would much rather them make a game that I don't know the ending or the entirety of the backstory.

Can't wait for the Beta. With the trailers, the graphics look good. And the details of the multi-and-single player look awesome

the BR isn't like the BR in H2/H3..you should know about this by now? I believe it's single shot with a fast fire rate, and the faster you fire the more recoil and "reticule bloom" there is..so the faster you fire the less accurate it gets.

Wish I could get in on the beta, but I don't think it'll be possible this time with no internet :(
