After many claims of never buying an Xbox. I think its about that time. I watched the new Halo Reach video and saw the remake of Blood Gulch from Halo and Halo 2. That alone makes me want Reach more than anything from all the fond memories i had with my friends playing that one map online. It's sad that this is the reason i want another Xbox, but.. i really want one now. Worth it for one game? Much less, a map?

It's shaping up to be insane. Bungie raised the bar for FPS's on consoles with Halo 3 - and they're set to eclipse themselves yet again :) Wasn't there a rumour that there's going to be a fully fledged map creator? http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/digital/gaming/sneak-peak-of-halo-reach?src=rss&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:+pm/latest+(PopularMechanics.com+-+Latest+Content Wow.

I thought about it, but since most of my friends would be the only one to post i knew they would just tell me to buy it :) I think SW will lean me where i want, being a Sony guy and all its hard to trust MS again with anything more than Halo.

You might find other games on the 360 that you might like as well. I have both the 360 and PS3 and enjoy them both.

If there was a reason for me to get a 360, Reach would be that reason. Unfortunately, the rest of the library doesn't appeal to me all that much. I hope Reach eventually makes its way over to PC.

I guess you could get a cheap arcade for 150$ (while you can) just for that + ebay HHD for 20$ and one year of gold. If you want to, no one can stop you :P

The 360 still has a solid library, if you don't have a gaming PC, 360+PS3 is the way to go IMO.

It's pretty much established as a fan favourite . Anyone know if there's any truth to the map creator rumour? It's in the link I posted above, but haven't heard much about it otherwise....but it would be insane.

Remember, just because you buy a system for one game doesn't mean you're restricted to only that game.

I say go for it, but I'm a guy that likes to leap before he looks.

No I'm saying it's going to be like MW2. Yeah it's nothing like it but look what Modern Warfare 2 is today. Halo Reach is going to get the same fate.

There will be people with Modded Controllers, Lag Switches and just about every BS you can find in the game.

Heck I've played Halo Reach Beta, It was fun but seriously it does not deserve the Hype it's getting.

I understand what you're saying, but Halo 3 is almost 3 years old and still provides a good experience online .

Gotta say, I hate the 360 a lot and I think it has hardly any good exclusives on it. With that said I really enjoyed Halo 3 online with my bud and Reach would probably be even better. No I won't be getting one, but I can see why someone would get one for Reach. Come on Killzone 3 have co-op! :P. Better yet I will probably be playing Goldeneye Wii.

True, Halo 3 has a great multiplayer and it'll be a great to have something better than it. But the game has way too much hype.

I'll be really let down if Killzone 3 doesn't have Co-op. Thats one thing PS3 seems to be slacking in for some reason.

It is called hype. Companies are great at creating hype. Hype creates impulse buys. Don't fall for the trap. I finally learned after i got my 360 that companies create a setting or dream and sell that dream to you, and the dream is almost never what they advertise. You will play that one game and map for a while, then get tired and your 360 will become an expensive paper weight...well, that is what happened to me, at least.

This isn't hype, Bungie have shown numerous things which are fantastic. It's not like it's baseless hype either, the beta went down extremely well and Bungie have a proven track record of delivering.

disappointed they made it a "invasion map". Invasion was lackluster. I hope they have a real big team battle. they have always cried about not many people playing it but it was my personal favorite mode.

If you've got the money to spend, it's definetly worth it. What better time to buy an xbox? New console, Reach coming out...

That's the way I see it.

If you've got the cash, than why not enjoy Reach. We all know damn well the online will last for years.

blood gulch was already remade, ,gosh is that the only reason , if so then you might as well just buy goldeneye 007 because it has facility again for the 5th time,

1. Go to Amazon, add the 360 S to your shopping cart 2. Pre-order Halo Reach on Amazon 3. Once you receive your $20 preorder credit off of Reach, go add a 12 month LIVE card to your cart 4. Pay $30 w/ free shipping for your 12 month 5. .....? 6 Profit

If there was an online beta for MW2, it would have lost a lot of sales, including mine. Halo Reach's beta did nothing but impress to most. Of course you had some people complain about certain mechanics that were implemented in the game, but even they will wined up buying the game.
