[QUOTE="Kickinurass"]You must have missed the part when the devs talked about doubling the amount of AI and scale of battles? Or the stealth assasinations?Or what about the changes to the MJOLNIR armor? Such being able to sprint or activate active camo? Or how they've overhauled the sound design and O'Donnel is working on a more somber, dire soundtrack for reach? Or maybe if you had actual read the Fall of Reach, you;d understand how the majority of the book was focused on the Spartan-II and their recruitment? You should rewatch the video again - it seems like you missed alot of information.stiggy321
So lemme get this straight... a quasi graphic novel based on a video game, written by someone who has no recognition for writing anything other than (arguably) unsuccessful graphic novels based on video games and was originally a technical writer for a software company, is going to be turned into a video game, that is a major improvement on the other video games in its series because the game will have sprinting and upgrades for the character like "active camo"? Hm.

When your bashing games, try to make it less apparent that you've never read the book or played the games. Or even followed Reach via anything else. They said it was loosely tied into the book. And FOR TEH LEMS/HALO FANS. You could see Master Chiefs face in this game. I think during this game he was on this planet or something or somewhere (lol) getting some codes or something. Bungie wouldn't make THIER last halo and not show master chiefs face. Especially if they have that many Polygons to play with ^^

I think that Avatar is the Uncharted 2 of movies BECAUSE we all know neither Avatar or that video game had original stories. In fact in the case of Avatar, I waas pretty shocked that it was a legit cut n paste of Pochahantas. But they were produced in such a way that made them memorable and great. Good acting, and they were PRETTY. But imo I dont like Avatar, why doesn't something like District 9 sell that much? Or that movie Apocalypto? Original stuff there, well produced and well acted.

Yeah too human has a bad rep when IMO it was super fun, especcially with a buddy. Sure it was a little repetative sometimes but what game isnt? The graphics were pretty sweet, the environments were cool, the rpg elements were pretty cool. It was a fun game ^^

[QUOTE="navyguy21"][QUOTE="J-Stantino"]And someone said Tekken 6 maxed the xbox LOL But on a serious note. Every single Halo game, (excluding Halo Wars *NOT MADE BY BUNGIE* but still kind of fun with friends) has been AAA and super fun. People who bash the story must not know the story. Its not childish at all, its pretty well thought out. When the elites **Spoiler** switch sides at the end of Halo 2, thats cool. The scarabs, setpiece events. The sheer amount of memorable stuff. I dont see why people dont like the Halo 2 and Halo 3 campaigns. Also, I like how Cows have made the habit of bashing Alpha/Pre Alpha footage and screens. T_T On a technical scale this already beats anything on Ps3. (Prove me wrong :p) And for a game of THAT scope and size, im thouroughly impressed. Not even the fanboys were expecting graphics this good. Will sell more than GT5. Fact.

I agree. Im not a die hard halo fan, and the only reason i played them is for the story and the motivations behind them. I think people call it childish because its colorful, and there are a lot of young people online. Truth is that its more older people playing halo online than younger ones, its just the young brats are more memorable :P I think the story and Halo universe itself is what attracts people of all ages, and not because the game is directed at kids. Im looking forward to Reach because of the storyline because i dont really play online anyway.

Im really lemming out today, but im being serious I just cant understand why people bash Halo 2 and 3s single player. I had fun! The story was really interesting and not trite and stupid. Halo 3 was using the same engine yes, but they really upgraded the graphics. The graphics still look fine, people REALLY overdo it when they say, NO AA?!?!? Game is a jag fest. No..Its not.. The game looked REALLY pretty when it came out, and now it looks fine. But saying Reach is a rehash because its an FPS? Oh no cows are right, id love the same hack n slash 3 times in a row with upgraded graphics? h wate, God of War series T_T or any series with sequels are going to be the same thing with altered gameplay mechanics. But yo I want a ps3 for that God of War 3.

Take into consideration that the Xbox360 isnt maxed or near maxed. Xbox devs dont freak out over graphics. I mean Reach does look VERY good. Gears of war 2 uses 97% of one core/spu or whatever the xbox has and 3 percent of the other 2%. Id like to see a dev utilize all three.

I remember when Cows were saying the first trailer was CG, but then the ingame looks better. >_> Like I thought.
