IDK i never really liked the core elements of MP in Halo such as the lack of recoil and this one doesnt look to fix that. Halo is always good for some screwing around with friends though...

I'm gonna get a slim 360 + Halo Reach, but this latter is not the only reason why I also want an xbox 360. Alan Wake, Dead Rising, Gears, Mass Effect, Kinect are the other reasons. I don't game on Pc.

It is too much likeHalo 3 for me to bother. Maybe if the graphics were a little better and KZ3 wasn't coming out, I would consider it.

Well if we're talking controls, I have to still go with KZ2. The controls are more realistic, the weighted controls is more like what it would be like in real life.

As much as i think it looks intresting and how im becoming mroe and more into FPS's no i dont think its worth it getting a $300 plus tax system for one game or 2 or even 3, too much money spent

I passed up on buying ODST but I did get it for free and it was pretty fun. The Reach beta was even more fun, so I'm definitely getting this day one. I wonder how will the Halo Reach Xbox 360 Slim will look like, because they will likely have one.

I will be buying it Why would a PS3 buy a 360 for one game? Halo is a system selling franchise but we are way too far into the lifecycle of the 360 for Halo to make significant sale spikes. Plus Halo's been over used lately. Reach looks good but we've gotten atleast 1 Halo game 3 out of the last 4 years. It needs to take some breaks on the gaming side of things.

The controls are not better. The gunplay yes, but the controls? hell no. Halo's controls are tighter and far more responsive than the ones in Killzone 2 which at times felt like it needed some tigthening up.

I've only played Halo like...once.

Halo 2 when it first came out, it was cool, it was ok.....I was at Best Buy, btw.

But other than that,

I've went all this time without Halo, so.......probably not.

You guys have fun, though. :)

He won't regret it because i don't regret selling my 360 2 years ago. It has no worthwhile games which can't be found on the pc or the 2 more reliable consoles.

I only saw the Halo Reach demo at E3. I am not trolling, but I truly didn't see anything special about it.

The ground fighting looked average, and the space fighting looked like space fighting. So at first glance it's like they took to seperate games and connected them.

However, if stuff you do on the ground can impact what goes on in space (like launching missles from the ground), and vice-versa, that's pretty cool!

And when in space you can board other ships and it goes back to 1st person, that would be stellar!

Anyone know if the gameplay is like that?

If not, then it's just one game that has ground fighting and space fighting in seperate parts, and that's not so incredible.

PS3 fanboys on SW boards would never touch Halo. Even if their Mom's soul relied on it. Heartless. Souless. Cows!!

Every Halo in the series is far better than KZ2.... and KZ3 will be more of the same.... corridor shooter, with terrible controls, weak characters and an even weaker story.

I've played KZ1 ans KZ2 and I agree with on that. Fine you get a cool thing here and there but in essence it's just the same game. Halo always seems to bring somehting new to each game

I didn't buy an Xbox for Halo 2, i didn't buy a 360 for Halo 3, ODST or Halo Wars, so i'm not going to buy one for Reach, if any, i'll buy a 360 for a much more appealing game like Alan Wake, DOA4 or ToV.

Respawn-d
Hehehe!! A lot of people said the same thing when the PS3 launched. "WHAT!?!? $600 and only 1 games worth playing. No!!" Took 2yrs and a significant price drop to finally change people's minds. The XBox 360 has way more then one exclusive game that worth the price of the $300. Many of these great games can be had for $30 or less. So your statement is just silly at this point in time. With the new 250GB XBox 360 Slim with built in WiFi., NOW is the time to get a XBox 360.

The TC phrased the question as would you get a 360 for Halo Reach. Not any other game just Reach.
