Got to admit... that I agree.

Just was playing capture the flag and the rounds are WAY too short. Weapons are crap too.

I will probably buy Reach for the campaign and forget the multiplayer. Halo 3 was much better and Halo 2 was better still.

It seems that this is just the same game as Halo 3 but with nicer looking graphics... but not much nicer.

I'm off back to Battlefield... 1000x better imho.

Ive only played a few matches but it seems to have gotten slightly dull in the short time, they should have allowed for forge and custom games and I was expecting to play invasion, I don't see it in the playlists so I assume its not there.
The pistol is back to its old Halo 1 self again and that gets a thumbs up.

Also, if you melee a sword user exactly as he slashes, it parries the blade and allows you to attack again.

Invasion is getting unlocked at a later time in the beta... I found the dates somewhere but can't remember where. But you are right in it getting dull fast.

the beta will be free to everyone including xbox live silver users the weekend of may 14-17, according to kotaku. The catch, however, you must have a copy of ODST. I'm on my phone and can't provide a link. But i'ma try and rent a copy that weekend and try it. And then I'll probably hate it and go back to bad company 2.

CTF is gay.  Stockpile is gay.  That's all these beta retards want to play.  Gay.

I hadn't played Halo in so long, I forgot how to throw a grenade.  OH LEFT trigger...duh.

How do you knife someone in the damn game?  Do you have to melee from behind?

Yes, except you hold melee. Not tap it.

I've assassinated with just a tap from behind...

I saw one bug... guy starts an assassination move just as a teammate kills the enemy... The assassinating guy ends up climbing in midair and stabbing nothing with relish heh.

When you assassinate mid air, you pound them to the ground with your fists.

The only things I don't like are that the Assault Rifle is really shitty, and now a melee won't kill someone when they have really low shields like it did in Halo 3.
It takes 2 melees to kill someone in Reach, regardless of whether they have full or low shields.

Invasion has been released.

It's actually really fun. Reminds me of MAG in a good way.

Invasion is hard as hell to win when you're an Elite, though.

Well, I disagree.

My partner and I managed to sneak in as the Assassin classes and disable all the generators before they knew we were there.

Well, I finally put down FF13 long enough to try invasion. Its pretty cool, though I thought it would be a longer game type. It gave me the ability to use vehicles which are great but there seems to be a delay on the covenant vehicles when it comes to the boost, I don't know if this is intentional or not but its really annoying.
Other then that its really fun! Its a lot more fair then I thought it would be too.
