Topic: Halo: Reach!

[Leonard_Church]

I personally love the Halo series but I just think Reach is over rated. Don't get me wrong, I love the games but It's just another Halo game. Shoot elites and grunts, get from point A to point B without dieing. press a switch and your done. Then drive away before the time runs out or your exploded all over the universe... again... Sure the graphics got better but other than forge world and the new multi-player updates the story is better in the book form rather than the game. I know I'm going to get a lot of people hating me for this but this is how I think. I won't have the game for another couple months once the hype dies down.

As previously said, Halo was never "Good" "Novel" "Ground Breaking" All it did was just put what has been done before into a console environment. Halo one did FPS Halo two did MP and Halo three was a slight graphical improvment. ODST was strange as was Wars.... Get the picture it gets worse the more they release em xD

I will agree with most of your points there, but I must say Reach was very well done.  I was expecting just another Halo game going into it, but they brought everything together very nicely with this one.  Without a doubt the best storytelling in the series.

I know, but what I'm saying is this is without a doubt the best in the series.  If you enjoyed any of the others at all, then you will enjoy this one.

i once said that to my friend and this is the response i got:

"if i wanted a game with the best writing, i would have bought an RPG that is made by Bioware. again, i am fully aware that if buy a game by bioware, i have to deal with only having 2 people with me at all times and more than likely, more than a few characters will have a crush on me for nothing other than the fact that i am the main character, no thanks. i want more than two people shooting at the crap load of guys around me and i don't want to deal with the emotional fallout when the female elite (that has a crush on me) finds out that i'm about to get some hot AI action and starts reaching for her plasma rifle."

had me laughing for a a good while...

You seem to forget its also an average shooter both Singleplayer and Multiplayer...

You shut your dirty little youth mouth. Once you get to college you will truly enjoy the pleasures of multi-player online (yeah, where's CoD on that? WTF CoD get with it) whilst drunk.

[Skyward]

Got it, loved it.

That's really all there is to say on the matter.

[ilikesanta]

I like the game too. I do miss that there isn't really a nice big open battlefield in the story mode, I loved them in CE. The daily challenges are addicting but one of today's challenges is something like get 6+ grenade kills in one game. I'm purposely avoiding online today because of the impending grenade spam. Been playing with forge, building a super race map. Yes good game, me like.

[Gungnir]

I remember race maps! Those were actually really fun.

[martyk]

Now there's actually a race gamemode.  I did a rally the other day and it was good fun.

CoD is also not a "Good" MP game....Its just a rehash of all the other cod games, so yeah...MW 1 was good, and that was about it for cod MP. Umm CS 1.6 and to a certain degree CSS are good MP. As is BF2 and BF2142. All of which only if they are on the PC. Console's are bad for MP, consoles are bad, and halo being a console game which isnt even good makes it even worse. PS i hate consoles

[eropS]

Console's are bad for MP

Aaaaannndd this is where I realized you were retarded.

When you can get 4 of your friends playing on a computer at the same time let me know. Till then I'm pretty sure my behemoth only lets one person play on it at a time.
