But SPOTLIGHT:  Also, some details on the Halo: Reach Beta which is here May 3rd: In an interview with IGN, Bungie's Chris Carney and Lars Bakken, Multiplayer Design Leads on the title, revealed a lot more information about what we can expect from the beta this coming May 3rd. The beta - which is available to those who still have their ODST disc - will roll out with 4 maps; Swordbase, "a small, asymmetrical slayer map that is set in an atrium"; Powerhouse, that along with Swordbase will focus on party game types like Headhunter, Stockpile and Slayer; Overlook, which is an "asymmetric map layout, much in the same way that High Ground was from Halo 3" and offers an attack/defend type game type; and Boneyard, which is the beta's biggest map with offering the only source of vehicle combat. Chris Carney told the site, "All four maps were chosen in order to test a specific selection of game types and team sizes." He continued, "Sword Base and Powerhouse cover the Slayer, Headhunter, end of the spectrum, Overlook is perfect for the NT 1 ("Generator Defense") game type, and Boneyard is a great landscape custom built for Invasion. Each map brings unique elements that we want to evaluate and hopefully contain enough variety to be appealing for the duration of the Beta." Carney goes on to state that Powerhouse is best suited for Team Slayer, whilst stating that Boneyard is built for the 6 on 6 invasion mode. Boneyard according to Carney is "probably one of the biggest maps we've done" and was "inspired by the beaches in Bangladesh where they pull in those oil tankers and other big ships and cut them apart." "We're doing that essentially with space frigates on Boneyard," he continued. The interview also touches on the return of fall damage, although it's classed as "moderate fall damage," and if you're a fan of smaller, more intense maps, don't worry, Carney stated that fans of those maps won't be disappointed with Reach. The beta will also feature "many new weapons."
Any thoughts? --------------------   | ||||||||
