They all could work. Another thing is I hate having to hold x to pick up an health pack......

Another idea I like is reducing the nades that are in the game by either eliminating dropped nades off dead bodies or make the nades dropped from dead bodies disappear quicker than they do now.

That map is GORGEOUS!

Network test 1 is a test for firefight I think.

Correct on the beta end date. Reach is still listed as fall, but a September release is very likely. We got the release date of Halo 3 the day of the beta, maybe it will be the same for Reach tomorrow.

You might be right. It's definitely testing much more than Bungie is letting on. This map visually is a big step above the maps in the beta, but of course, it's pulled directly from the Campaign. Difference is, it's sunny here, and not raining.

It does makes sense. I mentioned this with my impressions that Halo was in need of changes, and Reach brings by far the most changes to the core formula and feel yet. While it's modernized in a lot of ways, it's still very unique, and very much Halo.

Yes, any of these, but please don't reduce grenade damage.
