We can now play 343's beta for what Halo multiplayer may look like after November 15th. I wanted to know what people thought of it. In my opinion the zero bloom is a blast right now, but it will get old fast because the pistol is too ridiculous. I like that my sticks can't be negated by armor lock!
Anyone playing the Halo Beta?

Which Halo beta? There are two halo games that are being worked on, a remake of the first, and a sequel to Halo 3....
The short answer is neither.
The long answer is: technically, Halo Anniversary is not changing multiplayer, but it kind of is. Bungie (the developer of all the Halo games, but the C&C title Halo Wars) no longer runs multiplayer, nor will it develop any more Halo games. The new studio in charge of the future of Halo and multiplayer is 343. A lot of Halo fans have really despised aspects of Reach multiplayer, but Bungie just ignored them. 343 is launching a title update for Reach's multiplayer making changes to the things fans have complained a lot about. Needless to say Halo Anniversary does not have its own multiplayer matchmaking (like ODST did not have its own multiplayer matchmaking), although it has a seperate engine, Reach maintains multiplayer.
Microsoft's goal for the Halo franchise is 1 game a year. As of now the main multiplayer is only changing as games of the main cannon are released.
