Here's what I think of it (this is from the other thread about it)
--- Quote from: SpreadsPlague on May 04, 2010, 08:39:57 PM ---In the first (literally 3) seconds I played, I was teamkilled. I then jumped around figuring out the buttons, and was sniped and then teabagged.
Here's a brief rundown of the classes from the "Loadout" system:
Scout: You run fast. That's about it.
Stalker: You can turn invisible (more like translucent, what's the point of being invisible if people can still see you? this blows my mind)
Airborne: You have a jetpack. Clearly people are going to use this class the most because the others are useless.
I saved the worst class for last.
Guard: You get this ability where you pound your fist into the ground (doing no damage) and you cannot move, but you are surrounded by a strong blue shield. During this time, enemies can go ahead and stop shooting at you while you are trapped trying to plan out your next move. After the effect expires, a small shockwave is emitted from you, and you regain control. The entire effect lasts about 5 seconds, in which enemies can stop firing at you, back up, wait until you're vulnerable and then shoot you some more.
TL;DR I wasn't impressed at all, Guard's ability sucks.

Yes, I did give it a fair chance, but it's really just every other Halo with flashy new weapons and abilities.

You are a genius. You just discovered the textbook definition of a sequel.

Submit it to bungie and they may do something about it. It IS a BETA test after all.

I played it for a good 2 hours or so, but I'm just saying that's what happened in the first 3 seconds.
