Yes, this is a bit late – we know. Bungie fans have likely had this footage running on loop for the last few days already anyway, salivating at the chance to dig their teeth into the Halo: Reach beta when it hits. But for those of you who haven’t yet had the chance to see it in action, here it is – footage from the alpha build of Reach‘s multiplayer modes!
And what all do we have on display here? Why, would those be Spartans that can actually sprint? Loadouts, featuring Jetpacks (!) and a plethora of new weapons, as well as up-close and personal shanking assassinations in the showers? Is this Halo or Oz now? I’m a little confused.
Either way, it’s nice to see that they’re not just sticking to the same old formula this time around. Sure, some would say this just brings them in line with what a lot of other FPSes have been doing for a while now, but better late than never, right?
