Halo Reach is a hack-job!

There are things in Reach you can forgive and things you can't forgive. For instance, I can forgive the lackluster story. In fact, some of my favorite games have had lame stories, like Splinter Cell Chaos Theory, Modern Warfare 2, and Bad Company 2. I can forgive the fact that most of reach's game modes are re-hashed from Halo 3. I can forgive the fact that most maps are clipped from the campaign. Hell, I can even forgive the fact that much of the terrain looks like it's from the Xbox original. What I CAN'T forgive is the firefight mode that contains no semblance of challenge whatsoever, the "official" forge world maps that look like they were made in two minutes, or the fact that Bungie has the gaul to think that Reach can contend with such multiplayer experiences as Call of Duty, Team Fortress 2, Bad Company 2, Uncharted 2, Gears of War, etc. Even Halo 3 is still going strong and is much more well-made than this crap.

Congratulations, you have an opinion! Have a cookie.

I wanna take you seriously but then I see your sig...Funconsole

and this curses you with the inability to respond to my points... WHY?

I kinda agree with the Forge world maps, they're nothing special and there's too many

But those 2 reasons aren't really enough to call this game a "hack-job", imo

Story is the best in reach then any other halo imo, how many game modes can you make? theres the orginals and a few new ones.

they said before the game was even released all the maps will be from the campain. terran looks like the xbox orginal? plz get your eyes checked. blabla 2minute made maps more hate, on the 360 reach has more players online then any of those games. blabla more hate.

why did you list uncharted 2, its hardly a multiplayer experience.

That's fine.

Halo Reach is typical, standard Halo warfare, only good for multiplayer. The campaign was challenging, but the ending was disappointing. Granted, I knew what was going to happen, but it just wasn't as great as some of the reviews said it was. I even didn't feel much emotion out of the story, which I thought was lackluster. Hell, the last battle in the game? Destroying an enemy ship with a huge laser? Not epic and neither is standing on a desolated planet and fighting valiantly and dying in the end.

Halo has always been about multiplayer. But it is also one of the most overrated and overhyped series I've seen as a videogamer. It stands along the lines of GTA and a few others in the sense that it's the game or game series that is used to measure all others. Reviewers don't say it loudly, but it's there - if it ain't Halo, Grand Theft Auto, Call Of Duty, etc, then this game is not worth your time playing and I think it's a stupid thing to say, IMO.

TC should show his GT before anyone takes him seriously. He has his PSN in his sig... why no 360?

I can't forgive the fact that Halo, Call of Duty, Bad Company 2, Gears of War, etc. can't contend with Battlefield 2's multiplayer.

O___o the plot thickens.

Okay, so you don't like Halo Reach, big deal. Everyone has their likes and dislikes and while you are entitled to your opinion its not worth starting a thread just to go on about how much you dislike the game. Just like its not worth starting a thread just to go on about how much you love a game. If you like it good. If you don't thats fine too, just sell or trade it in and get something you do like. See there, problem solved.

Ive had halo reach since it came out, and ive only played it 3 times, its not a 9.5. Boring... it's my opinion, but this game is overrated, I expected more.

I REALLY hate to come to conclusions quickly, but 2 things:

• Your avatar is the Call Of Duty cover.
• Your sig has your PS3 ID.

You probably just don't know how much that sounds stereotypical, heh.
