After going through some old footage of the Reach Beta I noticed how much things had changed from then until the full release of the game, here are some of my fond memories from the Beta. if you have any the feel free to share
-
The 12 shot DMR capacity, sure it is not much but it made you feel that every bullet counted and I personally believe it made me focus more on my targeting and Rate of fire.
-
The Origional Swordbase, looking over the footage made me realise how much it had changed from Beta until retail, the Beta was a lot more clean & tidy & the retail is more damaged / degraded, i’m not complaining far from it Bungie most likely did this to keep within the game’s storyline. also another little thing I noticed in the Beta we had a couple of computers next to sword spawn which seem to have disappeared during the transition
-
Betrayal assasinations, yep you read that right for those who missed it you could perform an assasination on anyone from your team just to betray them, there are still quite a few videos of this on youtube so go check them out it’s fun.

Newtwork test 1: Drop Pods, ok most wont admit it but it did happen to you at one point during the Beta, you spawned as an elite on Overlook & rushed to destroy the spartan generators…only to be crushed by a drop pod after crossing the bridge -.-
