Halo:Reach is here, What do you think of it?

[Lazurkri]

And I'll be counting down the days, if not hours ( And possible minutes) to Halo:Reach being released. The Beta kicked complete and utter a** with over a thousand YEARS of total game time logged by over two MILLION unique players. And that was for a two week long thing that wasn't even the full, finished, unbuggy game. And it is now a little under two months to release date for what looks to be the biggest game release of the year.... hopefully, all time.

I'm curious as to what people think of this. Are you excited with all the new things, like the hypermassive Forge World, the Space combat in at least the Campaign ( One wonders if space combat will be possible in Multiplayer. So many fans are curious too), the new, much easier-to-use Forge 2.0 tools, or the sheer thrill of finally being able to play with a team of other spartans on a quest to slow a Covenant juggernaut.


In short, is Reach everything you hoped for? Or are there things you are unsatisfied with? and please, no Halo haters here. I agree partially with you MW2 fans, MW2 is a great game, but Halo set the bar, and MW2 just barely upped it....and Halo has vechicles, so Halo still wins. anywho...your thoughts, please!

I got my Xbox around the end of May so I missed the beta. I'm hoping to get the limited edition.

I got the space crate. you know...Legendary. anywho, what do you think of all the new stuff? been keeping up with the latest from Bungie and the Comic-con currently happening down in San Dieago ( And why is it always in the US and never Canada? never figure that out)? I already know from watchin footage theres something like a mini-wraith for multiplayer...look on Live f you doubt me. its the Comic-con Reach announcement video on the dashboard of your Xbox- assuming you have Live, of course.  

[Super Taco Pocky]

Have you seen the Xbox bundle yet, ******** amazing! I can't wait for the space battles, I hope they break away a bit from the run and gun style of play and a bit of fanciness to the gameplay. Also weapons need serious blanching! The big seller for me will be all the customizations you can get for your armor.

(The reason way Comic-con is in America is because we're awesome!)  

[Lazurkri]

Yeah, the armor customization is massive- its not just chest, shoulders, and helmet now-its the entire damn suit you can color any way you wish, as well as different armor permutations. It'll be awesome...and I got legendary preordered... I did it the week preorders came out, so yayz me I definatly get one....

this game could save halo  

[Lazurkri]

Well, Reach is Bungies bon voyage game: There will be no more Halo's made by Bungie after Reach. Nothing. So the series is going out on a high note.....a extremly loud, joyous note. Regardless of what people think of Reach, I know it will be good; ten years of experience is hard to beat for quality....just look at Starcraft 2; its been over a decade since the last, and Wings of Libert looks like a awesome game... but not as awesome as Reach

Halo is serious business!  

[Lazurkri]

And the reason I put this in the serious discussions thread is so that I can get serious, non-stupid comments and thoughts on Halo; Reach... This is a serious topic, for a lot of people, because it is going to be the end of a series people have loved for a decade....I must say, when I played the original Halo:CE, I did not anticpate the sheer amount of fans it would get...  

[Lazurkri]

I can't be the only Halo fan here can I? come on, this topic is staying until Reach is released...and probably a good time after, so I'll keep bumping it....  

[Lazurkri]

First 'Bump'.


anywho....new Covie vechicle revealed...well, mentioned....called the Reveant...looks like a little red wraith with the speed of a Ghost.... anywho, ya'll suck for not continueing to discuss Reach here. Come on, Halo Fans!  

[Gravity Sword]

The invasion game type looks fun!  

[Lazurkri]

'looks'? IS.

Invasion, the Beta map and gametype, was awesome. Simply put, it is the biggest a** map I have ever seen for a Multiplayer map. it was carnage central. funny to watch a Elite Zealot roll into a Spartan, who then stabs him in the head for his idiotcy....

Looking forward to Firefight too. At last, no goddamn buggers!
(Its IMPOSSIBLE in ODST to do the 'Endure' Vidmaster achievment due to the buggers., because one of the modifiers that turns on is one that makes it so to regain health, you need to punch enemies.And buggers land rarely.)

still looking forward to the reveal of the Reveant.... looks interesting. Also, anyone find the fact Spartans ( And most likely, people using Elites) Can drive stuff like a Forklift Funny as hell? I hope they put a achievment in for you killing someone while driving one.....  

[Lazurkri]

second bump.

Okay, in case any of you don't know who made Halo, it is by a company called Bungie. Link to their website is below.

Bungie; the Creators of Halo!
and i'm including the link to the Halo:Reach project page below as well.

Halo:Reach

not that long at all until it comes out.... still so many things that are unknown. Still curious as to the space combat thing; will it be just in Campaign, or is there going to be Reach maps were you can chase each other around in space( Or, hell, in atmosphere would be cool as well, so long as its fighter on fighter fights, not Banshee on Falcon or Banshee on Banshee fights). Questions, questions....

Heres some REACH footage....
