Alot of people are saying that Reach could in fact become the best FPS on the console. What do you guys think?

Not if you don't like Halo. For me it will be with the amount of content Reach has that will keep me playing for years.

If Black ops fixes some of the problems with MW2, I think it will be tough to beat. I've been playing MW2 latley, and tried to get back into Halo 3, and couldn't. Halo 3 seems a little slow.

It all depends on your taste of shooters. I think Halo Reach will be a blast and i'll be playing for years to come.

That will be the "chic" thread topic for 2011. Or maybe Noble 6 vs. MC threads. But Halo fanboys don't really fight amongst themselves with such ferocity. I guess we can put to bed the Halo 3 vs COD threads from 2007 to 2010. BTW TC, have you seen Rage?

I think next years FPS make Reach & COD redundant. Crysis 2, BRINK, Dues Ex,etc... I can climb obstacles in both Crysis 2 and BRINK (A ****ING GAME CHANGER) That one mechanic alone advances gameplay light years pass all this years releases. Added mobility in ALL FPS's or bust... Climb obstacles better become a standard like iron sights and sprinting. More I think about it Halo's just outdated...

good riddance "Halo 3 vs COD threads from 2007 to 2010", lol

I can see those games being epic for single player campaigns but can they compete multi-player wise for longevity?

since black ops is from treyarch, im expecting somewhere around mid AA for its overall score, while obviously reach will be in the mid AAA. i dont see a treyarch game coming close to a bungie game.

Are people still ragging on Treyarch? I thought people were over that. I'm not big on the COD series, but Black Ops looks great. But people will nitpick and find things to complain about just to throw Treyarch under the bus.

It will probably be the highest rated FPS or at least very close to it. Although I prefer Team Fortress 2 and BF:BC 2 over it.

I think it will there's a lot of content plus with community stuff the content can really be almost endless. Lots of gamemodes, split-screen stuff which I love, and so on. Although it won't beat TF2 on PC, it's close.

Not the best, but it will be one of the best for sure. Another big hitter that is also coming will be Crysis 2. Either way, Halo Reach will keep me occupied for a very long time indeed ;).

For me, It just looks like Bungie took what they learned from all 4 of the other Halo FPS games, and perfected it into Reach. However, if you don't like Halo's style of play then there is no reason to like this one either. The best FPS on the 360? Maybe, but probably not.

Yes....Yes it will.

Who's its competition black ops? same game every year with the exception of more bugs every year.

Medal of Honor? The game isn't unique at all, its a mw2 and a bfbc2 rip off.

You only need one Amazing game to keep you going :) So yeah, if its good enough to be that game. Though i have yet to come across one that isn't slightly out matched within a few years. It may (and probably will be). But maybe not for long.

@BLAS1AN, Google: gametrailers.com Crysis 2 Hero's journey footage (GT.com has the best quality vid)... Then tell me what you think. YoungSinatra25

The spawn system was terrible and the guys in the video were even worse.

About 4 times during that video an enemy spawned within 5 feet of him.

I agree with you on Brink though. Too bad it's going to get overlooked by all the Halo and CoD fanboys.

My oh my, you are so out of touch with the world I can see. From this post and others..

Mom & Pop shops have sold the game early and even some big name retailers like BestBuy and Target around the world have broken the street date.

Why is it so hard to believe games get leaked early or that stores break the release date. This happens all the time..

They didn't spawn in front of him they were invisble then turned visble. You couldn't tell that?... Guess not. Also the footage is "100% staged". Also obvious. The vids there to showcase the gameplay/mechanics and the overall potential of the Crysis 2 sandbox. We get Halo's newest features (sprinting isn't a special ability Bungie... dumb asses) with COD class & weapon customization plus added mobility. BRINK's mobility is leages ahead, of course, but climbing ledges in any FPS is a game changer in my book. Next years FPS's look awesome. This year.. eh!

Not if you don't like Halo. For me it will be with the amount of content Reach has that will keep me playing for years. RoslindaleOne

Well seeing as we have not played it we should wait until Tuesday to make an informed opinion. But my message to you RoslindaleOne is at the moment we have Single Player, Co-Op, Multiplayer, Forge world and Fire Fight with matchmaking so it appears that it will be one of the most complete game packages out there.

I may be wrong but I could be in the minorityby buying this for the Campaign first and multiplayer second.

All I will say is its STILL gonna be Halo so im not expecting to many big changes ( apart from space combat ).

After playing the beta to get the feel of Reach, and been following it with Bungie updates, I have a good idea on how well the game will come out. Now, its true I have to play it first, but I'm positive I'll will love the game since I'm a huge Halo fan (not fanboy I like other shooters too). I'm big for the campaign as well. I want to play the story as bad as cruising around Forge World and playing MP. It's just the icing on the cake for me. :)

I know the video is staged. My point is they're going to try and make it look as good as possible. When it comes to the gamers actually getting their hands on the game that's when things change.

If you never played Halo and you watched a video you would think there was a wide variety of weapons to choose from. They use every gun, however, while actually playing, you see maybe three guns used. It's a completely different game and Crysis 2 should wait to be judged.

I think Brink gets a free pass only because like you said, it's making significant changes to the FPS genre and it's definitely a must-buy for me.
