Halo: Reach - OFFICIAL STICKY - No Beta Keys!!!

[QUOTE="jethrovegas"]Game looks pretty good. Hopefully it will be more focused, and won't suffer from the erratic level design quality issues that plagued Halo 3.

Seriously, sometimes it felt like I was playing a different game by worse or better developers just depending on which level I was on.R3FURBISHED

Let me guess...lvls like Cortana made you despise it. While lvls like The Covenant, were awe inspiring.Of course I was one of the people that think The Library was one of the best, most action packed moments in all of Halo.

For starters, I'm not impressed by pretty colors or huge asplosions, so no, I didn't think 'The Covenant' was particularly awe inspiring, though it was a decent level.

The best levels in Halo 3 are the ones that are tightly and intelligently mapped, have a constant sense of forward progression, and manage to offer you a decent amount of variety without outstaying their welcome. In that sense, Sierra 117 and Tsavo Highway are the best of the Halo 3 levels. Both were entertaining throughout, well designed, and well paced.

And yes, 'Cortana' is a textbook example of bad level design.

[QUOTE="Adrian_Cloud"]Not trying to be rude, but the only reason you guys are hyping this game so much is becaue both ODST and Halo 3 were mediocre. The graphics in this game are great, but its nothing we haven't seen since 2006. That being said Reach looks like a great game. Adrian_Cloud

i really enjoyed ODST and Halo 3 and im hyped for this as well.

really? just check my posting history before ODST was released and you'll see how unhyped i was for that game.

Just watched the vidoc

Very disapointing. im glad the elites are back :)

This video kind of hurt some people feelings..Tessellation

[QUOTE="musicalmac"][QUOTE="LarkAnderson"]Oh snap, I've been caught. But really, why link to a YouTube clip when there are better versions elsewhere?SaltyMeatballs

I dunno. That's just how it happened. :P

It was a sticky emergency! I wasn't thinking clearly!

Looks great, good enough for me to put it in my sig. [QUOTE="musicalmac"][QUOTE="LarkAnderson"]

Higher quality VidDoc trailer here.

Where do you get these gifs?

Could be people are hyping the game because it seems like a great game.

Besides, Halo 3 and ODST got great to exemplary reviews for the most part - I fail to see how either game is mediocre.

I desagree. Halo3 looks far from mediocre, its graphics are very underhyped arround here and i honestly think Reach looks as good as the best looking games out there.

I played it recentely. Sure it wasnt the prettiest game even when it came out but imo it had very good graphics. Only marine models looked bad but everything else were great (lightning, textures, water, etc)

Im glad theyre exploring what made Halo feel special - Halo 3 was disappointing to say the least. Halo CE didnt actually have many unique features but there was a certain atmosphere about the game that just made it feel breathtaking. Looking at the scenery in that trailer gave me a good feeling about this game ...Shame I won't be able to play it. :p ...Indie_Hitman

This is what i been waiting for from Bungie since CE. I have true love once again for Halo. Bungie has answered my prayers and made a different "style"Halo main themed game. I expect this game to not play like the other Halos looking at the vidoes. Gun kickback reminds me of the Killzone 2 shotgun in that gif. I hope they make the controls more heavy.. If they do that, imo the game should be AAAA.Yes, i'm DEAD SERIOUS.

Having watched the Vidoc, I have very high hopes and expectations for this one. 9.5/10...

Heavens no, they are hyping it cause its Halo. I was referring to graphics, gameplay is debateable. Reach was a half-a$$ed job that got AAA, so for the most part you blindly defending it isn't going to get you anywhere. Adrian_Cloud

Was? The beta's not even out let alone is the game even released and scored. Are you sure you're not just blindly hating? :?

Reach was made for the people who always said "The first Halo was the best".. See, thats me. If you said those words i bet you love Reach already.

Very well, I understand you're talking about graphics, but I have to ask what's the difference between hyping something because its Halo and hyping something because its FF/MGS/GT/GoW/GeoW etc?

These series earned their fans with good games.

You probably mean ODST with that AAA comment and all I have to say is blindly attacking Halo won't get you anywhere either.

I think Reach will make you feel like its the first Halo you played "again". I know it sounds weird...but i have a feeling with the new engine and specs etc. I kbelieve i will feel like its a "new" Halo. I haved prayed for Bungie to make a new/ different styled main themed Halo game since i played 2, 3, ODST *pukes*..

I just watched that vidoc, wow , this is gonna be amazing times a million - wooooo!!

New Screenies my friends :D

What you guys think?

The graphics are now were they should be. Remember how the first Halo looked like one of the best games back then? Reach is finally there now imo. Now, i want to"feel" the controls. May come onnnnnn get here.

The vidoc has definitley raised the hype of the game and i trust bungie will deliver on what theyve shown so far. The only thing bugging me about the game is that the main team consists of Spartan III's; i thought alpha and almost all of beta were wiped out before the events on reach.

*at screens*

Um....badass?

EDIT: also, great job to whoever posted those screen caps. Awesome stuff.

Screw graphics, Reach has what I really have been wanting from the series. A sandbox environment with way more enemies per fight then ever before. The 40 AI in a battle looks truly epic.

New Screenies my friends :D

What you guys think?

navyguy21

I think it looks miles better than Halo3 and easly as good as the best looking console games out there!! :D

Should only get better from here

Halo 3 was the first one I played in the series, I thought it was a decent campaign that got greatly enhanced with 4 player coop. The online was addicting and the game looked good considering the scope. ODST had a much better campaign imo, though Bungie really dropped the ball with no matchmaking for Firefight mode. Hopefully all the promises are kept for Reach, because that vid is pretty sweet. tbone802

I agree. the lack of matchmaking was very desapointing in ODST. Reach should have it for campaign coop and firefight.

I like this scene which is only a place holder

One thing I noticed is that when you aim down the scope it's just zooms in the screen with a circle, I would have liked to seen the transition as he goes to aim down the sight.SaltyMeatballs

One thing i dissliked about halo 3 was that the standard marine assult rifle was so innacurate at mid/long range and without any ironsights ( there were other guns that made up for it), but the DMR gun in the viddoc looks brilliant
