Halo Recon BETA
Discussion
Played some last night before it threw a wobbler, from what I played it seems great, theres a few things that annoy me though.
1. The button mapping, melee is now RB (I have changed mine) which just gets on my tits.
2. Stockpile, people can steal points from you by just picking up a flag inside the capture point then putting it back down again.
3. Single shot weapons seem useless!

Yep played a few games and my view is, it is utter arse.
First
Single shot weapons are pointless
Jetpack isn't as cool as it looks, nor as useful
Battle rifle replacement I used once, realised it was single shot, swapped it
Assassination is cool the first time, but it gets tedious as it takes a bit to long to do, and you usually get killed after doing it to someone.
Button layout needs to be changed to Recon, yet they don't inform you that they have changed the button layout to be awful
Everyone is playing it like Halo 3 multiplayer I have yet to play generator defence, crazy king, stockpile, because every one I have played with wants to play either Headhunter, Juggernaut or Oddball on that swords level, if I want to play Juggernaut or Oddball I will play Halo 3, don't advertise new game modes to me in a video, then fill it full of s
t game modes I hated in Halo multiplayer.
Headhunter, the only new game mode I have played, brilliant idea, and it has the potential to be amazing, but each time I played it was full of douche bags who camped roughly where the drop off points are, and then just throw epic amounts of grenades, just fk off with that grenade st and play properly, not a purist or anything like that, just really fking annoying when you have just taken down 3 people, you are collecting the skulls, only to have tossers throw grenades from miles away to kill you (the object of the game) but they never end up making it to you, as they die, just pointless as you can't collect the skulls, because every and their fking dog throws grenades into the area, just makes it st.
Player skill, now this fks me off the most, I search player skill, I wish to play with evenly matched players, which is fine, I get paired with privates and corporals, as on the Beta they are evenly matched, but on Halo 3 and ODST they probably play everyday, and are pros, so it makes it a tad unfair when most of the people playing have like 8 points, and one has 20 points and has just scored a triple kill.
Frankly the Beta offers not alot more worth shouting about, over Halo 3, the only plus side is, it isn't ODST.

I thought the jet pack was a good idea but the invincibility thing really pisses me off! You should at least be able to sticky them or beat them down IMO.
The assassinations are very annoying especially when playing oddball.
There should be an option to turn the announcer voice off too - all I hear is 'ball dropped', 'ball taken', 'ball dropped'
Head hunter is a good idea, haven't been able to find a game with invasion yet though.
I thought there were supposed to be 4 maps? I only ever keep playing Powerhouse and the sword one?
