Halo: Reach Multiplayer Details


Over the last week, Bungie has released a host of details for Halo: Reach, which is less than a month away to beta!

The first is an April Fools trailer of the changes they're implementing to the standard multiplayer formula used throughout the franchise. Take a watch here or below.



Moving onto some real news, last week's and this week's Weekly Updates features a host of info on the weapons, both UNSC and Covenant, that you'll find in the beta, as well as some of the maps you'll be causing carnage on. There's also details about Load Outs, which is sort of but not quite like character classes, and some of the tried and true vehicles with their new modeling.

Overall, some of the new weapon and vehicle models I really like, others, like the Assault Rifle, not so much. Personally, I think the Assault Rifle doesn't really look like one anymore, and that makes me a bit sad. The environments though are looking absolutely gorgeous, and I can't wait to take the beta for a test drive!

Another interesting point mentioned is that Dual Wielding is, once again, right out, and we won't be seeing regular Plasma Rifles in multiplayer (though they will be in Campaign). That's the reason the Plasma Repeater was invented.
