Halo Reach - Wasn't What You'd Expect
Halo Reach is game that really is going to change the Halo History forever, considering the fact that it's different, and with all brand new amazing features. I have decided to bring up something that "You'd not expect." A little comparison from Halo 1, 2, 3 and now REACH. Even though we don't have all the lastest updates from REACH, we have enough to write this topic.
I'm going to compare Halo Reach Elites to the Spartans.
As you can see in that picture above, the Elites are stronger, more powerful and taller. Bungie reports that Elites really are much more faster than Spartans as well. You can see that if you decided to be an Elite in Halo 3, than you made the right choice!
Here is a picture of Halo 2 Elites, and as you can see that these are much smaller than the Spartans in Halo 2 and even in Halo 3. Ah yes, good ol' Halo 2 memories. Remember the first no-scope you made with a sniper? Good times...
All of us know that you never fought Halo 3 elites, so I am kinda pissed, considering that I am a huge Elite fan from Bungie. It's really not worth posting a picture here for this reason. But, you do know that Elites in Halo 3 we're the backbone in the Multiplayer experience and we're awesome to play as for that reason. Who doesn't love that Under-dog?

Monthly Update - The Beta is super awesome
The Monthly Update is a little late, due to some serious Blogger issues. I have had problems with my computer, and have been a serious PC gamer this past month after I had gotten Halo PC and Combat Arms. They truly are kick ass PC games. Anywaysm on the with the Monthly Update.
The Halo Reach Beta was released the 3rd of May. It's been a real joy to be a part of Halo History, and no doubt, it's been hell of a ot of fun playing the Beta. With a few bugs and glitches only, Bungie is doing great! Im sure that Bungie will have it all under control after the full game is released. On May 7th, Invasion and I believe another playlist with new maps will be released on that day as well. Although Bungie is positive about Invasion being released.
After we've been playing the Beta we really think that Halo 3 is outdated and really doesn't fit in with the gaming society anymore. I think that Halo Reach should be released even quicker than planned, because Bungie is really losing it's fans, no doubt.
Halo 3 fans are starting to turn heads about Halo Reach saying "Its not even Halo" or "This is COD." Well we have a few things to say for you if you have been one of these people. Halo Reach has it's own style and has nothing related to COD except for sprinting. If the entire "sprint" thing pisses you off, then you really aren't the smartest gamer I know. You deserve a change, and Halo 1 - 3 have been following the same stuff now for years. It's time for change, indeed.
With that being said, I believe it's time to move on. MLG Mather or Retromonster (so we used to call him.) Has been a bit more of a PC gamer just before the release date of Halo Reach Beta. Ever since then, it's been a different story altogether. After the Beta is gone, we can only expect MLG Mather to turn to the PC for fun. He admits "The Beta really is amazing and makes Halo 3 look like crap, that's why I am turning to Halo 1 and 2 PC for fun now."

Gone Forever - Dust In The Wind
As all of us know by now, Halo 2 has been taken offline. You, my reader, know that I a obsessed with Halo 2, and always will be. Even though Halo 2 is offline, it's never time to forget these special memories that we will have with Halo 2. Some have different and better memories. Although, many share the same. "It was a kick ass game, and will go down in memory of us all!" Claimed a Halo 2 fan poster on the Bungie forums.
Here is a Youtube video that I always watch. It's a great and sad video and really sums up the feeling I have for Halo 2. The song choice was purely amazing. How sad that Microsoft had to do this to us.

Small Population - What You Can Do
We have a small population of about 10 - 20 readers who read on a regular basis. I myself am trying to come up with something that can get this number higher and higher each month so that way we can have a community of our own very soon. This is pretty much just some things that you, our devoted reader can do to help us get more population to read, and to be interested.
Our Ideas.
I have thought of opening up more of a bigger perspective of gaming. More topics that don't revolve around Halo, and more so about other games. This can increase the population by a lot. We can have different news writers here that will be either taking "MW2" updates, or "BFBC2" Updates, or whatever works. All we need is ideas.
Creating a New Subscribe Feature
I could send out messages Monthly to people, giving them a short description about our website, and what it has to offer. We can be positive about this, because of a "New Subscribe" feature. I can add at the end of my message saying "Thank for reading. If you have found this message interesting, and would like to receive more information monthly, please reply saying 'Subscribe.'"
If you have any ideas about how you can help us get a bigger and better population, please feel free to email any ideas to these contact addresses.

Halo Reach Beta - New Updates
Halo Reach BETA Gameplay is just around the corner. Surely, we all can agree that the Beta will have some temporary problems, but will still have tons of fun playing with all of our friends. This is truly "a New Era" after "The End of an Era" with the Halo 2 online play close. This post is pretty much going to sum up all new updates on what we have for Halo REACH. Be sure and visit www.Bungie.net for even more information. Take note, that we have read all of the passages, but decided to take what was most important in the topics from Bungie.
The video above will pretty much describe everything that you'll want to know about The Beta gameplay, and more!

As Days Draw Near - The Time Is Coming
After the fall of Halo 2's Heroic Xbox Live had been disabled, most of us looked towards Bungie for comfort. Halo Reach looks very satisfiable and could possibly make us forget about Halo 2's shut down. Just how so?
Bungie has told us many things about the Reach Beta and and with plenty of details. From vehicles, weapons, maps and more, we know just about everything about the Beta. This video below pretty much sums up a great review about everything that will be in the Beta. Be sure to listen to the Map Pack part. Did you see those maps? What was your first impression?
With that being said, Halo Reach Beta will have some problems, and things to work on. Indeed, that is why it's the Beta. It's still a work in progress. Read more below for some things I have realized before the review.
1) Jetpacks - A Harmful Feature?
Most of us started to piss our pants when we saw this feature in the Trailer. It was awesome, am I right? Of course! Halo Reach really is awesome, but what are some of the things that will make us choose to not use the Jetpacks? Jetpacks, as said in the review, will make you an easier target, and will allow you to stick out like a Yellow on Black. You'll become an easier target! Not too forget tat the higher you go, the more harm will be done when you fall. The loss of stamina is a better feature than Halo 3's. In Halo 3, notice how high you can go without losing any stamina/health. It's disappointing. They definitely have fixed this for good.
2) Maps - Lazy, Lazy Bungie!
Some maps will apparently be use in the Multiplayer side, but will just have slight edits to make it available for Multiplayer. For example, they will make it much smaller to fit a size that is needed for a playlist. This is better, than letting noobs free-roam! Why are we the ones stuck with stupid Campaign maps? Can't you make something from scratch Bungie!
This is our opinion. What's your's?
