Reach Beta Tester Is Going On My Resume

The Halo: Reach beta is the best video game beta I've ever played. It's also the only beta I've ever played. I didn't get to play it a ton but I did get to try out most of the game modes.

Arena: I like the idea of being able to suck but not completely bring my teammates down. I didn't play enough games to get put in a division.

Stockpile: I think stockpile might be my favorite new game type. It's a little easier for me to play than 1 flag. Four neutral flags. You bring them to territories by your base. at the end of every minute the flags get collected.

Invasion: Probably the most unique new game type. Elites have 3 objectives which unlock new phases. Spartans try to stop them. 6 vs. 6 made of 3 groups of 2 on each side. It's sort of like a one sided territories or king of the hill but with phases. Each phase increases and improves loadouts and gives you more vehicles.

Invasion Slayer: Similar to Slayer but uses the territories idea to drop weapons and vehicles. The phases improve the drops.

Network Test 1: Also known as Generator Defense. Possible new game type. Sort of like Invasion. One team of Spartans protect generators. One team of Elites try to blow them up. Unlike Invasion you switch offense and defense each round. 3 Spartans, 3 Elites, 3 Generators.

Headhunter: Kill someone, a skull pops out. Collect the skull and deposit it in a territory, like Stockpile but the territories move. When you die your skull and all the skulls you had collected fall out. First to 25 or first to deposit 10 skulls at once wins.

They could sell the beta and people would buy it.

I have a snazzy new Halo: Reach gamercard at the right.

0/0g - It's a beta.
