Played it all the way through the hardest mode the 12 AM it came out. It kicked ass, and it still does. I'm now up to the captain ranking, and still wanting more. This game is epic.

I strongly disagree, I personally find the entire Halo series to be a pile of crap copied from other games, such as Doom and Quake that just fluttered around with good graphics upon the release of the xbox/xbox/360.

That's what all games are today, stupid.




LUAjake, I have 56 game systems with over 40 games for most of them, and beat mostly every one.... I'm too lazy to point such things out, okay. .-.

lmao... duh. No one will ever ever ever be as original as super mario or pong. So all we can do is move on to the next game that's similiar to this popular game or that one. look at all the final fantasy wannabe...

in comparison to moh or cod... i say for a first person shooter, halo is much better. of course it don't compare to duke nukem or dark forces from back in the early 90s... but hey

this is 2010... get with the times
Halo Reach is the game of 2010 voted by Gamesindustry.biz
Halo Reach in opening week became the best selling game in the nation and it still is number one in North America
In Britain, Halo Reach became the number one selling game on release... and has remained in the top five.
In Japan and most other regions of the world, Halo Reach was the number one selling game on release... and although it may not be as popular in those markets, it is the best of it's series.
And as of 3 days ago, it has sold 5.55 million copies, which is a staggering number since it's only been released since Sept. 14th, only one month before that number.

i dont even like halo but it was one of the most influential shooters on the consoles,
it was one of the first console shoot to "get it right" and prove shooters could be done good on consoles.

plus most game rip off halo now, almost all shooters now have regenerating health, they got that from halo.

halo has never been a favorite of mine, but i still realize how influential it was on the genre.

saying halo is just a rip off is doing it a big disservice.

I disagree yet again, seems you're just being lazy to point out other games that are actually good.

Also, I wasn't talking about 1st Person Shooter wise, by copying I mean characters. The main character, Master Chief? Go look at the original character of Doom, and Phobos in Quake. Also, in Quake, look at the other characters while you're at it. There's one that replicates the alien people with the pointy heads, just less armored.

i sorta seen the likeness to the doom guy but i dont think they ripped him of for master chief.(maybe a little)

but character wise certain story's will always have certain archetypes for for each type of story being told, just the nature of storytelling.

master chief is the lone man of few word hero type, its a common archetype.

especially in first person shooters... agree @ silk

only first person shooters that don't follow beforementioned rule of thumb would be your MOH and COD shooters that in my opinion suck for online play. Halo reach is also the first first-person shooter to implement a jetpack and get it right. Personally I have always thought that old school Dark Forces for PC and Duke Nukem and Doom all three couldn't land the jetpack function to make it useable....

Furthermore, it has it's own company to monitor multiplayer matches which decreases the amount of cheating to almost naught. Something no other first person shooter has ever done. Couple that to a highly responsive mod team and a dev team that actually play the game as much as the players... you get a great all around game. Personally I've always thought the story modes on any of the Halo games to suck because they were too short or highly repetitive. But as far as online play, Halo Reach takes the cake.

((enlengthen earlier said statement at game play without online play)) Halo 3 was the worst game play ever. It had a total of MAYBE three good epic battles. Each could be strategized with two players to be won in under three minutes. Even IF you fought it out like it was intended, they still were more epic failures than epic battles. The commentary has always sucked and the hidden features were just that... Halo 2 was so repetitive after the second ring activation, I turned it off. Halo 1 was even worse than that... ODST's invention of a split timeline with a whole city to play in actually made the gameplay last IF you walked around just for the hell of walking around to kill stuff. If you barreled through it then it too could be completed in one sitting. As far as the new Halo Reach... again, one sitting, which is why i don't like first person shooters as a whole. I'd prefer a game like "the last remnant" or "final fantasy" to where i can sit for days on end grinding and fighting and still not beat the game until at least a week of sit down time...

Final fantasy VII was the exclusion to that because it could actually be beaten in less than 24 hours of total gameplay, IF you used a walkthrough/and/or had beaten the game before and knew what was going to happen and built your party for that purpose. I beat Seph in under 23 hours of gameplay at level 52... it can be done.

As far as any other system, I'm an acheivement buff. My gamerscore on xbox live is in excess of 32000... only because I try to beat every game to it's fullest. You wanna talk about a game that sucks... Need for Speed: Shift. or try TMNT... gawd

[color=red]That game is indeed pretty awesome, but now-a-days the only thing that motivates me to keep playing, is to earn enough points to try and get Master Cheifs voice for my lady spartan. xD[/color]
