Yeah, the whole damn series has better music than it deserves. Not to say the old games aren't good, it's just ♥♥♥♥ awesome music.

The armory sucks. Hard.

And I'm dissapointed they didn't even try to make the guns look like their H:CE counterparts. Or even act like them.

My verdict: It's an awesome game, if it didn't say HALO on the cover. It's the same way I think about CNC4. If It wasn't a sequel, It'd have liked it, but because they called it the same thing, you expect the same mechanincs.

I think the armor abilities change the game drastically (in a very positive manner, try playing elite slayer for a while) but it doesnt remain true to the older halo games.

The maps seem to carry a different asthetic. They're larger, and more complex, the kind you have to get used to. It the older games, you could take fifteen seconds to figure out where everything is, then you have a bunch of fun in your smaller arena. Now, they seem more like a CUBE2 map or somehting, you really have to get used to them. And the thumbnails don't help at all.

Definetly an awesome name, but differs significantly from the older games. I'd give it a generous 9/10 as a game but a 6/10 as a sequel. Obvously those aren't really strongly thought out ratings.

EIDT: And as ♥♥♥♥ angry as I am about the lack of storyline endings, I'm glad bungie is just letting it go as opposed to making more sequels like this. Better leave it unfinished then make it shitty.
If you want COD or MOH, go make them. Don't call it Halo.

Just a small idea that relates to Halo Reach. Post your a photo of your Armor that you use in Halo Reach?

So I'm reviving this thread with RELEVANT INFORMATION!

I want to play this game with DRL people.

XBL: Dauss

I'm warning you right now I play this game fairly religiously. If you're weighing the team down I will likely boot you from the game.

Or in the case of Mombasa, when he dives in front of my shotgun when I'm one shot away from getting the daily Three Spree challenge for bonus credits. Sorry bro, we'll play again I was just cheesed mang.

FYI Here's me stats. http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/Default.aspx?player=dauss&sg=0

Maybe its just too early in the morning, but I did not understand that.. XD

translation of dauss' post:

your username

it is the gay

Yeah I've come to that same opinion many times. I just don't want to pay to change it soooooo it stays. But yeah. Its pretty gay haha.

I can't stand JFO. I'm terrible, but feel free to add me. Oobagoo.

Savin' up for scouttttt

Meh, I can buy just about any armour in the game but I like what I've got. I wish I could have the prosthetic arm on more chest pieces though, particularily a 600 credit starter chest. Oh well.
