I was going to buy an xbox 360 just for halo reach, until i saw this...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZPTVnyh57E

I used to own an xbox 360 until it broke twice... i played halo 1, 2, and 3. i loved it and i miss it, halo is deffinitely the best multiplayer game of all time imo. After i saw this video I think halo reach won't feel like a "****c" halo game. they took out dual wielding which i thought gave the players an increased variety in combining different weapons together. remember the msg and pistol or plasma pistol? they even took out my favorite weapon, the battle rifle and replaced it with a similar weapon, but i think alot of people will be kinda mad about it. falling damage is in... this is halo, where u jump like ur on the moon! i can't beleive they put falling damage in the halo game, it just makes for a more frustrating gameplay. also, health no longer regenerates, which is stupid. if you're in a fire fight with someone, you're gonna take a few bullets no doubt. unless u find a health pack, ur in bad shape for the next fire fight. Last but not least, they added 5 new "perks" so to speak. this will be bad for the game i think. just think about it... the credit system looks kinda cool though... anyway, they should just remake halo 2 and call it like halo legend or something and put all the good weapons in it from halo 1 2 and 3 with all the good levels and updated graphics.

i love halo, but i don't think im going to flunk down $450 (the system, game, xbox live) just for halo reach. unless u guys can convince me... as of now im stickin with my ps3 and waiting for black ops.

Dont. It's generally a bad idea to buy a console for one game only. And you cant fault Halo Reach for making changes.

wow cool story...tbh its looking like the best halo since 1 :S

ya he can, not all change is good. are you seriously going to obey bunjie and agree with everything they do or say.

And we should convince you why? You basically just said everything new about the game was bad and that (in essence) you want the next halo to be exactly the same as previous entries into the series. designer-

thats his opinion.

and so what if he likes the previous versions better, so what.

do you believe every change bunjie makes is for the better? if so you are mindless zombie(aka fanboy)

Seems like you need to do more research on the game, you still have shields, but also health. You will mostly rely on your shield which still respawns while health can only take a couple hits before you die.

Why are you mad about the BR being taken out. That gun was garbage and broken. About the fall damage, Halo CE had it, and since Reach is a prequel to CE, it just makes to have it since those were the first ever spartans, their suits weren't very good. Same goes for the health system.

it will only cost you $100 to get fat 360 arcade now...live fee is around $40 an year.

so yeah it's a lot cheaper than slim version.

Er, a lot of those "changes" you listed were actually changes made by Halo 2. We couldn't dual-wield in CE, we took falling damage, and we had a health bar in addition to shields.

Personally, as a huge Halo fan, I like the changes they made. That video got me more excited for the game.

lulz...

here is my impression of every topic like this on sw:

topic guy: "i'm not buying a 360 because of reason "X".

Lems: "so what who needs you"

other topic guy: i'm not buying a ps3 because of reason "X".

cows: "god oh god please buy one please please please!! ur crazy if you don't!!"

They took out dual wielding because there was no point. They'd balance it, and find that people either never used it, or it was never actually better than a single gun anyways. Two maulers in Halo 3 is just as good as one mauler because Bungie couldn't just go and make dual wielding the most overpowered thing in the game, but there was no point in using dual maulers because it was better to have a mauler and a different gun. Same story for all the combos you could have.

The battle rifle was replaced with the DMR which dealt with the issue of bullet spray. If you didn't notice all weapons with zoom will become increasingly less accurate each time you fire them. The reticle goes back to it's original size after not firing for a second or two. Basically this fixes the fights where someone can use a battle rifle, and not 4 shot someone with headshots because one or two of the three burt fire bullets didn't hit the targets head which trust me if you played a lot of Halo you've experienced that, and it's frustrating. The DMR makes sure that if you have good accuracy you will hit the targets head with all your shots, and it's not left up to some random chance that you might not kill them in the necessary amount of shots.

Fall damage was in the original Halo. They're putting it back. Nothing wrong here.

Same goes with health. It's now back to the original Halo CE state where it was a shield regen, and you needed health packs. Much better that way.

I'm sure you're talking about the loadouts when you say perks, and all of them are cool. It adds more variety to Halo Reach, and should not be a complaint from anyone. Especially when Bungie is known to balance their games. None of the perks gave any advantage over the others from my experience in the beta.

Sounds to me, OP, that you didn't even play the beta, and you're just making assumptions here on how Halo Reach will be based on a youtube video? :?I'd suggest not doing that in the future.

You can get a cheap 360 for $80-100, which isn't terrible. Don't go out and buy the most expensive 360 there is for a single game.

Reach has some changes, sure, and while some of them needed fixing it truly was a throwback to CE. Can you really blame Bungie for doing this? Everywhere you go you hear people ***** and moan how great CE was and how the series went downhill.

The "perks" you're complaining about spice up the gameplay and, in some cases, help with teamwork. It doesn't break the game at all.

On paper, it doesn't seem like a Halo game. Did you play the beta? I did, and it felt very much like Halo and was very, very enjoyable.

wow cool story...tbh its looking like the best halo since 1 :S

babybinky

Why should i convince you? is not my fault you don't like MS, are you really that insecure so you need some strangers in a forum convince you about something?...it's kind of sad actually, maybe in a few years you'll going to come again asking if you should marry to certain girl.

I liked a lot of those changes. Sounds much more like Halo 1. Which is the best in the damn series.

That........actually got me pretty hyped :shock:

I was definately not going to get it but now i probably will. Damnit this ALWAYS happens. I keep getting sucked into the Halo hype a month or 2 before. Atleast this time i wont have a 360 so il have to wait till April. Even then, Gears 3 so.........
