This game has turned into something completely different from what I've expected. I don't know if that's a good thing yet.

Check out the weekly update, it's awesome. The Elites have a totally different role in matchmaking and their are classes!

Dude, the new jetpack ability is gonna be INSANE! Even though I bet a lot of noobs are gonna end up using it...

I'm still really hopeful, but truthfully I feel like they're getting way to nitpicky with how weapons work -- that it'll take quite a while to get used to the old weapons again since they're different.

Like with the overheating Warthog chaingun?

Will more noobs use the pro pipe, the jetpack, or the invincible shotty class? I don't think that many people will use the jetpack.

I will probably use the jetpack at first since I've never been able to do that before in Halo but then eventually I'll wade out of it even though I'll probably use it from time to time but not as much.... we'll just have to see.

Jetpack to me = Opportunity for target practice.

To be honest, all of this major overhaul is kinda scary. I don't doubt Bungies' ability, but for what is rumored to be their last project, they're doing a lot of things that could potentially upset.

Last Halo project, they'll move on and make something new.

I think that they are just going to make an absolutely stunning game, if they pull it off. The game looks reasonably far along and they still have all summer to get suggestions, fix bugs, etc.

Here's the maps in the beta http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/108/1082381p1.html

Wow, amazing looking maps they got there.

Thus you refute both yourself and me...who knows, only time will tell what they will or won't do.

Actually, had you quoted my entire post, you'd see the "rumored to be (the last game)" bit.

But since it might not even be their last Halo game...

Even if this MIGHT be their last Halo game like what Srg. Johnson said right before he died "Let me out... with a BANG."

I'm putting emphasis on RUMORED to suggest that this might not be their last game. It's what I've been saying.

I believe that they confirmed that Reach is not their last game, but their last Halo game, and that the Halo IP will be owned by someone else.
Glad to see that the classes aren't customizable.
