Flood weren't on Reach.

If Reach is like the original, that's a major win in my book.

M$ had nothing to do with thispreview it was just Bungie showing the game at X10BURSTIIIFIRE

I'd get an xbox for this. This is the one 360 exclusive I'm actually interested in.

Bitter haters will still trying to find something to bash Reach with.

Mainly because the only thing cows have against Reach are it's graphics. I am surprised this thread hasn't been filled with KZ2 .gifs yet.

Right...that's why I think UC2 and LBP are two of the best games this gen right? Get over yourself.

just from the pictures ive seen i can tell this is gonna be a huge step up from halo 3

[QUOTE="SpiritOfFire117"]

[QUOTE="xTheExploited"] Oh god this game will be perfect without the flood. I hadn't thought about them until you just brought them up so I'm a bit nervous now, haha. I think the flood were first introduced to everyone in the first Halo game so I don't think they will appear in this.Jipset

Flood weren't on Reach.

I reckon that they might be in firefight.... Imagine flood vs covenant vs humans in a three-way battle!

Are those shots ment to impress anyone? shabab12

Well I am sorry that the only thing that impresses you are shiny graphics

Aah, and the netcode. Hope they "gut" that too. :( Can't play big team battle (my personal fav) due to lag while games like CoD and Bad Company have what...18 and 24 players on P2P with no noticeable lag.

well lets see if halo can pull itself out of the generic FPS its becoming. maybe ill pick it up, never been into halo much but lets see where this goesriver_rat3117

wow...I think your standards are too high, Halo can't possibly handle that kind of action lol

forget this...

I'm pre-ordering now.

how about bashing the websites that like Halo. Does that count?

Halo Reach-- The game Halo haters will dread as they quiver, shudder and look on hopelesslyat the many months of domination that will folllow when this game launches.

Sales charts will fly through the roof!

multiplayer sessions will be in the millions

impressivereviews everywhere.

school friends, work mates, professors, celebraties, the media will talk about it.

The forums will light up with with at least a topic of Halo once every week( actually that is sorta still true for the past 9 years as well)

theoreticallyto them itshould be 2.5 because it seems to be increments of .5 since the first Halo

Halo, Halo 1.5, Halo 2.0

Isn't there a frickin sticky? if not, there should be. Looks B.A. though, the first Halo in history I will be a first-week purchaser though. I didn't have an XBox and only recently got a 360. Looking forward to it. Hahadouken

that seemed to have dissapeared last time I checked.

Damn this actually makes me want to buy a 360 for it, liked the original Halo a fair bit, didn't really care much for 2, 3 or ODST (good games still imo) but Reach sounds completely awesome more like a true sequel to combat evolved.

Surprise, Bungie feels good about their game. That is what companies do, they hype their product. I rarely take developers' words at face value.Vandalvideo

[QUOTE="smartcriminal"]

did i miss something? Halo 3s multiplayer was way overrated. hey look at me jump 20 feet in the air while shooting you. MW2s multiplayer is way better thenHalo 3

SpiritOfFire117

I believe this thread was about Reach not Halo 3. Also a multiplayer is bad because genetically augmented soldiers in MJOLNIR can jump high? Fail logic is fail.

don't forget they can flip cars and tanks over, take quite a few hits and run like mad men at such a frantic nature while also fighting space aliens.

It's ridiculous!!

Well, its still halo and you cant polish a turd.

lucky_star

ha ha ha.

I think it's going to bea long year or 2 for Halo Haters as they can seeth and bash when ever they can.

I would probably stay away from schools, work or any place where the subject of Halo might come up.

what Killzone?

oh spirit don't forget to say Eurogamer sucks and death to Halo.

quickly Sony Defence force unite! LOL

[QUOTE="BURSTIIIFIRE"]M$ had nothing to do with thispreview it was just Bungie showing the game at X10Vandalvideo

wait, didn't they also say Halo 3 was the greatest thing since sliced bread as well when they previewed it? Now 3 years later everyone is finally admitting that they were just over excited because it was a new Halo game. But NOW....this is the real one that's going to blow our socks off. I'm not sure which more laughable, everytime Sony gives a release date for GT5 or when someone says "the next Halo game is going to be the best game evar"darthogre

Of course people will get excited for a new game especially if the game has a good history and the information we are given sparks that excitement.

where did you get your stats saying everyone admitting that they were over excited?

Halo 3 was great when it launched overall god reviews, salesand it's obvious since it's still played significantly online today to back this all up!

Bungie have put a lot more resources into Halo Reach to make it a full fledged definitve Halo game.

However what is more laughable is the Sony GT5 release date Cows can talk about it all they want until ...well they come home, at least with Lemmings they actually have a good chance of playing their games earlier.

why call it a sequel if its a prequel....still to me its just another halo.....i hope with all the enemies on screen the AI isnt dumb like in previous enemy heavy gamesstereointegrity

who said it was a sequel?

yes and that's a good point to you it's just another Halo so why be concerned if the A.I. will be dumb or not?

actually the first Halo game was noted for having impressive A.I at the time.

[QUOTE="ZoomZoom2490"]

this true gameplay screenshot doesnt look anything special compared to all them bullshots that many here are alrady falling for them

BURSTIIIFIRE

Every shot I posted is in-game (except for the last one which is concept art)and the game is in PRE-Alpha

I agree with you and anyway I don't think the graphics for Halo Reach it not that important really to me, though it would be very nice to make it look impressive.

Halo is not really credited for its graphics and people don't really play Halo for its graphics.

It's Halo's overall gameplay mechanics, balance, vehicles, manouverabilty, co-opand open/closed spaces and online set up. Those are some of the key ingredients that has made Halo so popular these past 9 years in a very good overallpackage.

If Halo relied soley on graphics then I very well doubt the series would be huge the way it is.

Halo Reaches graphics are great as it is a step up from Halo 3, more things happening on screen, explosions and less scripting.

Overall Gameplay>Graphics.

Perfect Dark is coming to XBLA and it's gameplay is still good.

Counter strike gameplay>graphics

Tekken Gameplay>graphics

Mario Galaxy gameplay>graphics (even onweaker system with less impressive graphic abilites)

Metroid Prime series gameplay>graphics

Halo Gameplay>graphics

Surprise, Bungie feels good about their game. That is what companies do, they hype their product. I rarely take developers' words at face value.Vandalvideo

I feel more confident with a company with a reputation to uphold and feel very good and have confidence with the game the make, continue supporting it, has the fanbase and dedicated forums and support.

I think Bungie has overall proven themselves and it doesn't if they market their products as well.

since you say you rarely, then there must be have been an instance where you took a particulare developers words at face value.

Going to pre-order once I get a chance to. I skipped halo odst so the firefight mode will be a awsome experince for me on reach.

[QUOTE="BURSTIIIFIRE"]yes because there is no way a game can be actually as good as the person previewing says it is. M$/Bungie go around telling every site and magazine what to say about the game.Vandalvideo

however where is the benefit of the doubt?

not al information will be accurate and of course their is possibility of misinformation, but then that can be said with many developers and media, that's why multiple previews and impressions help.

But exactly what is it about Halo Reach that you are concerned about?

[QUOTE="BURSTIIIFIRE"]M$ had nothing to do with thispreview it was just Bungie showing the game at X10Vandalvideo

why is that such a concern now?

Publishers will do what they can to help sell a game. Why would it be different for Microsoft?

this is probably gonna be game of the year.

Bungie's never failed to deliver and Reach looks like it could be their best game yet. Can't wait to get my hands on this game! :D

This game is going to score higher, sell more, get more awards than Killzone 2...just like Halo 3.

If this turns out to be what there saying, I may pick it up along with a 360. xD

I want my 360 back :cry:
