Reach Beta – May 3rd

!!!


Armor and weapons :
These are the official set of known guns on Halo reach :
Spartans: DMR- this will replace the famous Battle Riffle from Halo 3, the only difrence is that it is a single burst weapon, very accurate medium to long range. [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Assault Rifle -yes, from Halo 3 this time revamped with better results, still medium short range
Rocket launcher: From videos, same from Halo 3 [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Pistol: its making a return from Halo CE this 5 shott’n weapon can be powerful but in accurate medium to short range [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
The “Pro” pipe : almost a thumper… but not really--If you point and shoot with a single pull of the trigger, you’ll send an explosive round out into the world. If it hits your target dead on, it will explode. If it bounces, it’ll arm much like a frag and explode after a short spell. [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Gravity Hammer: So far, same as Halo 3 [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Shotgun: No videos yet but this has been confirmed
Sniper rifle: same from halo 3 with some different aiming [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Frag grenades: Same From halo 3 except will bounce Differently


Elites :
Plasma Launcher : Can fire 1 – 4 Plasma Grenades at one time depending on how long you hold down the trigger [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Focus Rifle : The Focus Rifle takes the Sentinel Beam and the Beam Rifle and combines the two weapon’s traits for some deliciously deadly peanut butter and chocolate type death dealing action [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
The Needler : Back from halo 3 with some small differences, though. Needles will no longer track your target if your reticule isn’t red and just like the Needle Rifle’s projectiles, you won’t be rewarded with a super-combine until after your opponent’s shields have dropped. [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Needler Rifle: The Needle Rifle is the Covenant’s answer to the DMR. You’ll want to use it at mid to long range and begin by aiming for the body until you see the shields pop. Just like the Needler, it takes six rounds to tear through a Spartan’s shielding and seven to eat through an Elite’s. [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Engergy Sword: Back from Halo 3 [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Plasma nades: Back from Halo 3
Plasma Repeater : It still sends out a steady stream of bright blue plasma bolts, but the cadence will taper off as the weapon overheats. And while you’ll never need to worry about it rendering the weapon useless as it cools, you’ll need to vent it out if you want to run it at full speed using the reload button.

Advantages for Races
Elites :
advantages : In Reach, Elites are bigger, they’re faster, and they boast better shield technology than their Spartan counterparts. To drive the first point home – the size difference [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Rolling: Evade lets you make a leap of faith in any direction. It’s fast, it’s tricksy, and it’s something you’ll be getting a lot of mileage out of as an Elite. It will shed locks and tracking and makes for one nasty juke when you’re in close quarters combat. [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Spartans:
Advantages:
Sprint: Sprint is Spartan only and should be pretty self-explanatory. It gives you a quick burst of speed, but while you’re at a dead run, you can’t get all offensive. If you want to engage, you have to let off and regain your composure.
Super sayan mode? : Armor Lock gives you a burst of invulnerability. You can click once to briefly engage it, or hold it for a longer lasting effect, but either way, while you’re in the throes you can’t move a single, solitary inch. You’re rooted. But you’ll shed plasma grenades, shred vehicles unfortunate enough to attempt a splatter, and deflect projectiles. (And you look pretty bad ass while you're doing it.) [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Jet Packs: Jet Pack should be pretty self explanatory. You can hold the button for an extended burst or feather it after a jump for just a little more height. If you’re get too close to the sun, you’ll need to worry about the landing, so make sure you save some juice to soften the approach. [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
