Ever since I got halo reach. I have never been able to put it down. I'd say its the only fps shooter I will ever need for the rest of this generation. It has so much replay value. I dont think I will need to come back to system wars ever againbecause halo reach won the war for me.

Tis a great FPS shooter. I've played some amazing FPS shooters in my time and this ranks near the top of the list. It has the content and longevity other FPS shooter devs can only dream of.

TV (slipnot ?spelling) : "I'd say its the only fps shooter I will ever need for the rest of this generation."

This is why M$ said recently they are looking to get more FPS games on the console, and why the 360 is seen more as a shooter console despite games like Fable and Alan Wake existing....Besides, why should they invest in new IP's and games when they can throw out a Halo game every year or other year, and save a ton by paying for tiny timed exclusive DLC/3rd party games? :P

Halo Reach is doing it's job, for sure.

I do like Halo Reach (I'm a Warrant Officer Grade 1), but other gamers I have met playing Halo online find Halo Reach too basic and a bit of the same old thing they got since Halo 2 give or take gameplay wise. I have heard it's too much like the past Halo's, and those gamers prefer games like COD / GeoW instead.

Still, there is no denying it's fun, even if more Halo's were to be the same game for the next decade as well. It's a good formula....too bad this was Bungie's Last Halo game.

Shadow of Chernobyl is certainly a better singular experience, as is Crysis before the aliens. Bioshock outside of its weak combat, and multiplayer wise TF2 has a lot going for it. It's up there though.

[QUOTE="campzor"]counter strike is way better then any halo and thats 11 years old.sts106mat

played reach have you? i have but haven't played counterstrike, so I wouldn't make a claim like that unless i had played both games fully Halo Reach is certainly the most fun FPS of this gen. I never got into the MP of Halo 3 or ODST, but can see myself getting into this one. its so satisfying killing the other team unlike many FPS's multiplayer. defo has a lot of features, forge world looks like it could provide a lot of content, though i have no idea what to do with it.

i have played both. I much prefer reach.

it has a campaign, daily challenges, customizable armor and infinitely more game modes.... i also was never big into the halo multiplayer until reach.

I haven't played Reach yet, but other Haloes have never done it for me, primarily because they seem to be very multiplayer focused and I near exclusively play single player. In this sense, I doubt it can even touch the genius of games such as Crysis, Stalker, HL2, and Bioshock.

There isn't such thing as the best, especially in regard to a game embedded in such a series tropes, or one on a loose concept. Is it a good or great game? I'd sure as hell believe it.

[QUOTE="sts106mat"] i can see that point of view and its a good point. i tried the all new "invasion" mode last night, seemed ok, but only managed a single game of that.

Invasion was the best new feature IMO, the only problem with it is that everyone only plays Spire. Of all of the 50+ matches that I did 1 in 10 was maybe something different.

The armor abilities alone change up the game a lot. Fundamentall yes it's still halo, but the armor abilities are the nice equalizer or trump card when you need to pull some clutch kills(or own that twit with the power weapon). That's not even counting some of the different game modes. Not that I completely disagree with the idea that it is more Halo, but it's plenty different from that BR fest that was Halo 3, or the glitch driven Halo 2.

First person scifi shooter.

awww..look at him trying to cover his blunder lol also, more features does not mean longevity and really unless you have played a lot of PC fps classics like CS or the original cod , ut2k4 etc...then your opinion doesnt really mean much as you can only compare reach with other console fps (which isnt saying much)

It's okay, you can say it's the best FPS shooter out there. Wimp :P.

Honestly though, it probably is the greatest all round package of any FPS on any system this gen. Great campaign, great multiplayer, great meta-game... devs would kill to be as feature packed and polished as this.

Well sure but that kinda goes without saying. :P

I didn't look through the thread but I have no doubt that even if this thread goes 25 pages all will agree... Halo Reach knocked off Halo 3 and now stands alone as the new King of the mountain. :twisted:

They need more maps, and I like certain things about other shooters more. Shadow of Chernobyl is just all kinds of awesome. Crysis(before the crappy aliens....aliens are to crytek what the Flood is to Bungie -_-) the powersuit was just badass. Running around as a walking WMD was badass. Plus TF2 is just awesome. It's better than Bioshock. That I haven't played in like a year or 2, but I doubt I'll be enjoying the combat since I can't even stand Half Life 2 at this point. .....and yeah don't really care much for the other shooters Prime 3 is the inferior prime Episode 2 was only cool for the strider battle, and the ending Bad Company 2 was good, but meh at the same time. Resistance sucks Killzone 2 is cool for the MP, but I'll take Halo So yeah it's probably my favorite FPS right now. The problem is I'm waiting for something about the game to get me dejected :P

I agree. Gameplay and graphics couldnt be better and the immense content is a great bonus! It has a few flaws like the fact that the story is not that great, but it´s easly funnest and most polished shooter i have ever played.

That's exactly what I was thinking. As for it being the best FPS ever, well I've never played it and I probably never will, but it looks good, not greatest of all time, but pretty good.

Before saying anything like this , give it few years . If even after 10 years it will be remembered as lets say HL , then you can make this statement . What is up with ppl going on hype and spamming "oooh this is the best game EVAAARRRRRRRRRRRR" . give it some time

Its a good game, The Multiplayer is the weakest part IMO. Its still run at people with the trigger down, with the biggest gun you can find. The games strengh is it customisation, you can create a endless amount of content.

The shooting is the same, the guns are still the same, the strategies are the same. Its allways nice being able to do custom Firefight match in a fortress you made though.

Ive recently played through Crysis Warhead, and the SHOOTER part of that game is second to none, its fantastic, Halo doesnt even have any kind of aiming (on most guns). Youre humanities final hope and you cant even use a sight, to me that seems a bit dated. The guns in Halo seem weak, a fist is more powerfull than a bullet. Its things like this that annoy me with Halo.

I can't see why it won't be remembered, look at the original Halo. Still remembered as one of the best FPS games ever, and yet people are saying that campaign wise Reach is a lot better. However, time will indeed tell. I do love Reach, and it's only going to get better (Bungie are releasing some new maps from Forge next month :D) and all the playlist updates etc.

i will admit, the hype is huge for this game, and i may end up getting an x360 for this, of course at the end of this generation when it's dirt cheap and there are used copies of the game.

Not even close. I beat the game in about 5 and a half hours and haven't touched it since. I'm not saying I didn't enjoy it, but it's not nearly as good as people are making it out to be.

Pretty sure that gets you killed very easily in the game.

So you haven't tried the multiplayer?
