There's apparently one more top secret project Bungie's working on after this; I'm guessing Halo 4 or a Forerunner game.

Will this be another overpriced expansion pack like ODST or a fully realized game? I'm leery of Bungie these days, as I feel they're headed down the Lucasfilm road with their product.

It'll probably just be another ODST-length game.

This is looking better every day. I haven't played Halo since part 2, but I think I'm ready for some more over the top Halo fun again. Looks like Bungie is pulling out all the stops for their last halo game.


New trailer (not pre-rendered!)



I can't wait to see what all of the nerds come up with with this ridiculous new map editor:



Multiplayer should be ridiculous fun with all of the new abilities (jetpacks, cloaking, etc.). A nice change of pace from the realism of Modern Warfare.

Didn't play ODST or Halo Wars but this looks pretty awesome.

Downloaded the new trailer on X-box live last night. It looks even better than I thought. And the draw distance! People criticized Halo 3 for not looking as good as Killzone and Modern Warfare but Halo has a much larger depth of view which means they can't have as complex enemy models. But it sounds like they found a programming shortcut around it for Reach and it now looks leaps and bounds better.

Only 6 weeks away!

So far, so good. Lots to stop and stare at, environment-wise.

There are also lots of guns.

Campaign is tough. Difficulty has been increased big time.

Finally got this last night. Played a couple campaign missions on heroic and goofed around in firefight mode. This game is just pure joy. I forgot how satisfying it is showing grunts in the face. The jetpack is nirvana.

besides for this thread i heard nothing but bad about this

I'm pretty sure the consensus that this is the deepest, most well-polished Halo ever. What did you hear specifically?

Yeah, this is reviewing very well. What gives, bugs?

anyone played yet? it's either this or Dead Rising 2, and I love me some zombies.

I enjoyed it my first time out. Firefight is a little like Zombie mode in World at War.

I haven't really "played" halo since Halo 2 (unless you count Halo Wars)...but I have to say that Reach is definitely the best of the bunch. I'm just glad Master Chief doesn't have any part in this because I just think that character got incredibly stale after Halo 2.

The campaign is fantastic with great storytelling, the firefight is incredibly fun with friends, and I haven't felt a rush like this playing the multiplayer since Call of Duty 4. The music is spot on and definitely a lot of depth with character customization, theater and file share, and waypoint.

This should definitely be in your collection.

SOLD!

what did it?

the uberenthusiasm or my sponge worthy screenshot?

fb quotes from a couple friends

I dont like shooting a guy 4 times in the chest and they are still alive, not my kinda thing

to not totally trash it, graphics are great, the story mode is ok. I just fell into playing the online multiplayer thanks to modern warfare

my kid was kind of evil yelling at ppl online last night.. he shot someone a few times and then they killed him---- was a loud f u and screaming at ppl he's going to need anger mng

That's why halo blows and modern warefare is amazing

Got halo about a week before it was released. Not impressed at all


....basically when i talk to em they say it aint shit compared to cod

The franchise people love to hate.

my assumptions about your facebook friends:


not a very good problem solver


nonconfrontational


not a very good parent


has never played halo


virgin


a real life lemming
