Halo Reach New Controller Layout

Halo Reach New Controller Layout - There are few changes on Halo Reach Controller. If the previous layout was really messed up, by this time it's more easy to get familiar with. Having some buttons with the same functions and everything seems to be new. What you shouldn’t spend any amount of time on is learning how to use the fancy new stuff on the d-pad. You won’t find any of the features featured on the pad in the shots below featured in the Beta (it’s super awesome).

Halo Reach Multiplayer Maps

Halo Reach Latest Beta Maps - All four maps were chosen in order to test a specific selection of gametypes and team sizes. Sword Base map and Powerhouse map cover the Slayer, Headhunter, end of the spectrum, Overlook map is perfect for the NT 1* ("Generator Defense") game type, and Boneyard map is a great landscape custom built for Invasion. All of the maps in the Beta are human themed, but several of the other maps have different themes that are really cool.

This week, we decided to get a little more technical and dive into the more matérielistic side of the multiplayer coin. We’ll dig in even further in just a few, but since the two subjects do intertwine somewhat, I figured we’d begin where the two roads meet.
