I finally got around to completing the Halo Reach campaign this evening and I' surprised and somewhat disappointed in the direction hat Bungie has decided to take thefranchise in this, their final kick at the can for the Halo franchise. To be clear, Reach is a good game and perhaps given the amount of content in the game I would go so far as to call it a great game... but Halo has moved too far in the wrong direction since Halo 3, and it appears to me that Bungie has run out of innovative ideas when it comes to the campaign and so they have resorted to offering up a bloated campaign that tries hard to be innovative but is instead derivative, it tries so hard to be fresh that it has slowly destroyed many of the elements that made Halo Halo.

I have a number of other complaints, including an AI that feels broken and that often cheats but I'll leave that for a latr post. I'm tired from the gaming and typing this up on my Kindle just now is putting some extra strain on my thumbs.
