I don't know about you guys but I was really hyped for Reach, until I played the beta, the graphics may be a better then 3 but it was no way near as fun and the novelty of the small gameplay changes wore off after a few games. Now I know how the game plays just watching all the E3 footage makes me think the singleplayer looks as dull as the beta was.

The SP at E3 looked great IMO. I didn't play the beta, but i'm still looking forward to it a lot.

After the Beta I lost interest. The gunplay is a bit better but still not satisfying.

the word generic is used so much with FPS games because most of them are so similar to each other and never evolve

I played NOTHING but the beta for two glorious weeks.

I think you and that KevinButler fella are on your own really..

I'd put my house on it getting (if GS had a more specific rating system) at least 97/98..

And yet Halo is easily one of the most different and standalone FPS games of any on the consoles right now. :?

The campaign looks like the best since Halo 1 which is not saying much considering how average the campaigns of Halo 2 & 3 were but the demo at E3 actually made me want to play it. The online will be solid as always. That said Killzone 2 is my favorite traditional shooter so, I am looking for to Killzone 3 the most.

Yeah, it does but I am fine with that since I enjoyed the campaign set pieces in Killzone 2. Not really feeling the jet packs but I doubt it will be a major part of the game. I loved Killzone 2's multiplayer so, I hope they bring something new to that aspect in Killzone 3.

Generic means indistinguishable. Halos weaponry, enemy design, setting is quite unique, when compared to Killzone. Oh hey, a dude in a trenchcoat wearing a gasmark resembling a Nazi... So original. :roll:

Oh. :P I'm on a Killzone rant at the moment after seeing Killzone 3 at E3. People are dissing games that try to offer something different, yet defend a game that, while great, isn't exactly the most revolutionary game.

Have you ever even played a Halo game before? None of the Halo's play the same. They each are easily and readily distinguishable.

You should watch the E3 trailer. it is definitely Halo, but it is definitely not the Halo we know.
