I'm a couple of months Late on this but better later than never . Ill start by saying Halo Reach Has met my expectations and more . It plays alot like previous Halo's with a not so familiar feel . Mostly due to the New armor abilities instead of picking up power ups like in previous halos you will now get to choose from a set of pre-set Load outs similar to COD . My favorite which i think shouldn't be a armor ability is Sprint , as simple as it sounds sprint is one feature to be absent in halo games until now and feels so right in the game making for a fast paced game play style .Next we have jet pack which is also alot of fun to jet pack out of sticky situations just better hope the people are not skilled sharp shooters , cause you are a huge target in the air but the jet pack brings that tribes style game feel . Armor Lock is the next one think of this one as a shorter lasting over shield and you can only stand in one place while using it and shoot out a EMP burst . Hologram is a really good one to use wanna trick those pesky snipers ? send out the decoy and flee for safety or flank around the corner i love this ability . next speaks for its self invisibility turn on active Camo and sneak up on people although they will know you are around because the Camo jams their radar . The Medic Drops a bubble shield similar to the one in Halo 3 but also acts like a health Re gen for who ever is in it so its a 2 in one . the last one is Evade which is a Elite only ability which lets the Elites to make a devastating evade maneuver .

The Multilayer we Know is great , Single player is pretty good as well . You play as Nobel 6 The most recent member of Nobel Team Which consist of Nobel 1( Carter) Nobel 2 (Kat) Nobel 3(Jun) Nobel 4 (Emile) Nobel 5 (Jorge).they are aware of a attack but think of it as nothing more than a simple mercenary group causing trouble , but what seems simple just got a whole lot harder . the covident have found REACH which is Humanity's last stop and last defense before the conivent hit earth . Little does Nobel 6 this is their most important and last Mission as a squad . The campaign with out spoiling anything is great but at a few moments felt a little too rushed in areas. my biggest complaint is on the level ThePillar of Autumn Carter what happened that's all i wanna know ? I really know what happened but its Bungies job to fill in the gaps . the Campaign was Epic but missed in a few Spots. I didnt feel that Halo feel that i felt with the original Trilogy but still a great way to go out with a bang .

Firefight is a Great new addition we saw in ODST and i am happy it is back with a new feel and some great new features . can customize what waves you want their difficulty and put skulls on to make it even more of a challange . or make your own custom skulls .

Forge the map editor is back but with new features to make this a more improved version of Halo 3s map editor . With the new fixed/Phased options which allow you to suspend objects in the air or weld them together which in Halo 3 was all possible through tedious glitches .

Theatre same great theatre mode save clips Make machiniema or save screen shots .

all in all halo reach is a complete game and i give it a 9.5 out of 10

Why its not a 10

- Campaign segments felt way too rushed ( Bungie i wouldnt of minded a 15 hour campaign )

-Terrible Multiplayer maps ( Not all but the ones that are not are not fun lol)

-Could of been a better choice of armor abilities .

NOW GO GET HALO REACH AND WATCH REACH FALL ....
