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). Boxer

Halo Reach Controller Layout

Halo Reach Controller Layout - Have you ever intended to do a simple task, like switching grenade type, and instead accidentally vaulted yourself off a ledge with a jetpack ?

Halo Reach High Resolution Images

Last week we trotted Luke Smith and friends out to talk at some length about the economy of Credits and how they, coupled with Military Rank, will ultimately inform the visual accouterments adopted by your Spartan avatar in Halo: Reach. This week, we decided to get a little more technical and dive into the more matériel istic 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. That brings us to Elites. We’ve already said that the Elites found in Halo: Reach were never meant to conform to the noble notion of equality. For far too long, our Sangheili brothers have been leashed – their very backs burdened by the weight of multiplayer parity. They hunched, bent to the whims of human anatomy. /LARP Not anymore. In Reach, Elites are bigger, they’re faster, and they boast better shield technology than their Spartan counterparts. To drive the first point h...

About Halo

Halo Universe 101 Sweeping across the expanse of time and over the breadth of a thousand star systems, the tale of Halo is ultimately one of the human condition. It is a story about the frailty of mankind and their fight for survival against an implacable and unstoppable enemy known as the Covenant. And at the center of it all is the legendary Master Chief, the only thing that stands between humanity and extinction. The Forerunners Long before humanity shed its own terrestrial bonds, an ancient race known as the Forerunners had already mastered the heavens. Using their advanced technology they took it upon themselves to protect all life in the galaxy. But when a threat emerged from the blackness beyond our stars, the Forerunners were caught off guard. The Flood, a parasitic species that propagates by infecting sentient beings, had already infested a variety of worlds within the Milky Way. By the time the Forerunners took action, it was too late; the Flood had already surpasse...
