Simple answer.
Crysis blows it out of the water so...
HEY!!! Crysis 2 is coming out soon! :D

LOL I think the MP will be fun but I have never really much liked the Halo SP so unless this does something different than previous games, IDK if I will like it.

Bigger dosnt mean anything. so what they threw in 15 more ai then usual, but guess what when you load that same level again it will be the same thing. the encounters should be random its more fun that way so the palyer dosnt have a feel of control for the game. after a while it gets boring you feel like a psychic knowing that there will be a brute with a hammer up ahead, its boring.

The thing about Halo is it's not the freedom for the AI to do anything (which they say they have really worked on for Reach and I believe them 110% on that), but it's the way that the environments are so varied and the weapons all so different yet still balanced, that gives Halo it's nice replay value.

I still play through Halo 1's campaign (or SPv2) trying out different weapon combinations because it either yields me getting up close and personal, or sniping from a distance with a rifle or a sniper itself. Sometimes I'll take all covenant weapons, which is quite unique as well and very fun.

I think Reach will be fun, at least the beta was. It's the game Halo 3 should have been: not just Halo 2 in HD. Then again, it's a FPS game on a console which will no doubt make it a limited experience.

every halo game since halo 1 has had a new enemy but halo 3, what more could you ask for? In real warfare if one strategy was winning a war would you suddenly switch strategies just for the fun of it? no, because war is grueling and is not fun for either side. Just because bungie tries to build halo like real combat you don't like it? I mean yeah it would be kinda cool having random encounters but because it doesn't you don't like the game?

and as for the ending ruining it, half of the best movies I've seen start by showing the ending then flashing back to like a week before and it builds the suspense throughthe whole movie because as you're getting closer to the ending you'll be thinking, "oh man somethings gonna happen to lead to what happens in the ending I wonder what oh man whats gonna happen next I can't take it!!!" and sometimes the story could be completely different than what you expected and yet it leads to that same scene that you saw when the movie started and that's what makes it so mindblowing. Same with Halo Reach, can you tell me who's tags those were? Can you tell me what did noble team sacrifice and what did they save?or do? You can guess, but you really don't know. That's what makes it great.

OSHI I BE TYPIN 2 PARAGRAPHZZZZ SWEET bABAY JEBUS MAI FINGZORZ HURT GET MEH A DOCTOR HOW TTHE HEK dO YOU GAIZ TYPE BIG POSTZZZ LIK DIS ALL t3h DANG TIM IT HURRTSSS MAI HAND x_x

Half the movies...? I'm assuming you're referring to "Inception" as "half of the best movies". Have you guys ever considered that opinions are opinions, and that you might want to respect that rather than reverting to your inner Halo fanboy-ism and raging at whoever spoke heresy towards the Halo series? Its rather interesting that everyone always reiterates the same arguments time after time.

I haven't even seen inception -_- and why do you assume I'm raging? I can't share my opinion in responce to yours without being a raging fanboy?

I know right. Halo sucks. Mass Effect!

never played it :I

1) The term "you guys" does not necessarily refer to you specifically, unless of course, you consider yourself as multiple people
2) I would assume that your argumentative questions with a hint of anger would mean that you're attempting to have the other person respond to your response on their views, rather than state your opinion

No not a new ennemy. i hated when they added brutes. i just want diffrent. so i dont know what to expect when i turn around the corner i want something new, like Halo 1

Can the AI even pick up, switch, steal weapons ?
nope?

there was no anger in my post, and arguments always mean you're trying to change someone's opinion?

And this post isn't trying to change my opinion? You're trying to change my opinion right now to that of you being correct that you weren't trying to change my opinion, and that I was wrong.

Put it this way. Why do you continue this "argument" if you aren't trying to change my opinion?

Mass Effect is not all that good... Crysis is ok. From what I have seen Halo: Reach will be amazing.
And who ever that was that said just cause you know the end doesn't tell you what lead up to it. Say you see the end as 2 people in hand-2-hand combat. One kills the other. The one that did it says: "Finally..." Scene ends. What lead up to it? you have no idea. That is what makes it interesting. Almost anything could have happened. The killer might have been chasing him to get revenge for killing his brother. Or he could have been hired. The point is that YOU DON'T KNOW!

So we know that Reach gets glassed by covies. But what lead up to it? You have no idea! That is the point! Well I guess you do have some of an idea from what Bungie has said. But you don't know the whole story. Get it?

What may be interesting to you is not necessarily interesting to others. That's what I've been trying to say this whole time. You guys can't let live that some of us don't agree that Reach will be all awesome, and come up with the same generic attempts to convince us. Reach is something new, yes, and interesting, but there are aspects of the game that I dislike. Just because you manage to see mystery in spoilers, doesn't necessarily mean that everyone does.

I meant Mass Effect 2. The game that has a 96 on metacritic? Yea

/\

idk why everyone thinks Halo CE had the best story. It was awful. There was barely any talking and some of the cutscenes just had an ugly elite walk in. Or stupid flood. Halo 3 had epic cutscenes and Halo 2 had great story. Reach looks great and no one should judge the story of it because the game hasnt come out yet. it doesnt matter if you read the book cause Bungie changed some stuff. Same plot. Different details.

JOHNSON!!!!!!!WHYYYYYYYYYYY??!!!??

Lol Better Graphics fan, Heck i still play Pong on my Atari when im bored

when has pong ever gotten boring? lol

Well, you can save him you know though. Of course, since he is meant to die, he doesn't follow you after you save him.... so... then... I guess he get's blown up with the rest of everything.

JOHNSON!!!!!!!WHYYYYYYYYYYY??!!!??

yeah, they can pick up weapons. Look at Stacker if you rescue him in Sierra 117.

i can't wait until halo reach comes out, it's about time bungie revamped the dated halo engine, and the dmr looks awsome!

That's scripted. Look at the marines in Halo 2, on High Charity. What he meant was that the AI don't swap weapons with other ones on the ground. For example, if you give a marine a plasma pistol, and there's a sniper on the ground, he won't automatically go pick it up.

But in Halo 2 you can do it for them. You can pick up that sniper and swap it for their PP.


-Skidrow

but it would be bloody annoying when you want him to use the rocket launcher... then he walks up to a plasma pistol and picks it up! Will take a long time for him to actually use it without picking up another weapon

That is why you have them go for the better weapons. Like snipers magnums bazookas and battle rifles.


-Skidrow

brb playing halo reach.

LIES! YOU'RE A LIAR! A LAIR! A BIG FAT LIAR! wait... are you really playing it? guess not...

Leaked.

Spoiler: Reach gets glassed.

Marines have three main functions:
-Be a cupholder for your weapons. They will hold extra stuff for you.
-Infinite ammo slave. Give them a RL with one rocket left and watch the fun.
-Say funny things

You could argue that they are 'backup', but meh.

They also sometimes shoot stuff.
That can be helpful.
Like being a 'hog gunner for ya.


-Skidrow

do mod skulls appear in campaign? like IWHBYD? i want to hear what marines say lolololol.
also, can you guys make a halo reach hog physics? i like the new one.\

halo should not die, there's always this guy thinking about new story possibilities like "What if you play as a marine and sent to face insurrectionists?"

halo is just awesome.
thats what i think. you dont like it? then stfu
ok moving on to the other post :
