Now that the beta is over, it's gonna be a long wait till Reach comes out.
Here's a few of my thoughts:
BR > DMR. Especially for swat. The BR fires in bursts but the DMR is just a single shot, which makes swat a lot harder (their headshot calculation error didn't help either). I also like the new needle rifle better than the DMR.
I played a lot of invasion and I really like the game type, but Spartans have an unfair advantage, even without the DMR loadout at the beginning. Spartans have better weapons, better spawns, better vehicles, etc. For those of us who care about our KD spread, being an Elite no good. Invasion slayer seems pretty balanced though.
The loadouts are awesome. I mostly use sprint but armor lock is growing on me. I'd argue it is the best loadout if you know how to use it. Jetpack screams "SHOOT ME" and invisible is just annoying.
At first I HATED how the grenades are way more powerful than in H3. But now I think they're alright. It's still annoying when you are at full health and shields and get killed by a grenade, but it's an easy kill when you do the same thing to someone else. I don't care if they keep them powerful or nerf 'em.
I've kept myself from judging the game too much because there will probably be some significant differences when the actual game is released, but the beta definitely gets 2 thumbs up from me. But for now... back to H3.
