Reach not too much of a stretch

After waiting way too long for the Halo: Reach beta to download, I got into a handful of matches last night. It plays pretty well, better than I expected. Controls are going to take a little getting used to though. Green Thumb is generally how I like it, click the thumbstick to melee. http://gruntsrus.com/2010/04/halo-reach-control-scheme/
Really, the strength of Reach at this point is the variety of game types and the addition of some new ones. Slayer gets kind of old. Not that people, myself included, don’t play every game like it’s slayer anyway, but I love objective matches.
The Modern Warfare type exp system is unremarkable, but being able to buy customizations with those credits is at least kind of amusing.

Geez FINALLY! Maybe playing all this MW2 is rotting my brain but I’m less excited about this than I once was. Seeing any more of the Halo Bible is great though. Oh, and is that a Needler Carbine I see? Nice!
