Subject: Reach for the stars.

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

This game will most likely have Bungie reaching for the stars in an attempt to make the most memorable FPS in history.
No, that award goes to Wolfenstein 3D, GoldenEye, and Half-Life.


History changes with time. Doom was over rated. GoldenEye was fantastic. Half-Life in no way holds such a spot in history.


I didn't remember that those games existed...

Halo is the best game ever, is the most succesful game of history there is no other game like this one, the best FPS

Ocarina of Time is the #1 video game in Game history. Halo is only #9.

Also, Doom 1 has had more downloads than any FPS in history, more than Halo CE, 2, and 3's sales combined.

rival Killzone? that piece of -blam!- game is NOTHING compared to Halo


I'm talking graphics wise. Killzone 2 has the best graphics of any console game to date.
While I enjoy playing Killzone 2, it does rely on visual trickery. It's basically like Gears of War, it hides it's flaws with black, gray, and brown.


Not really. Gears has really detailed graphics for a 3rd person shooter. And the second game isn't very colorless at all. In fact, it has one of the most expansive spectrum of all of epic's games (save jazz jackrabbit).....

Alright, I'm exaggerating. Most of the gray was replaced with red and blue, but that's still not colorless.

Touchdown! Hit it Marines!!

So I'm guessing everyone here has read the Aaron Greenburg [from MS] quote. When sent a message over Xbox Live asking, "When are we 360 owners going to get a game that looks as good as Killzone 2 or Uncharted 2?" he replied with"Wait until you see Halo Reach". Couldn't be bothered finding the link, look it up yourselves.

Halo 3 was pretty revolutionary if you ask me.


No way. Have you ever played this one game called Halo 2? What changed from Halo 2 that would have made Halo 3 any better/ more revolutionary? The fact that Bungie made the game way more noob friendly and added useless junk AKA equipment. Shadowrun is more revolutionary than Halo.

I'm not saying Halo is a bad game I'm just saying it's down right basic and to be honest.... beyond over rated. And to anyone that looks at my profile and says I have so many games played it's mainly my brother. I play a variety of games. I used to play a ton of Halo but the game started to get old really fast.

Probably because you play it the same way every time.

They point of shooters is to mix it up. If a shooter EVER get's boring it's because the PLAYER is repetitive, not the game.


That being said, yeah. Halo is as basic as it gets. So what? It takes everything good from every shooter in existence and mixes it together into something that strangely works. Who the hell thought up vehicle hijacking in a shooter? I don't know how it happened, but it's great.

And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.

No you're very much wrong on your judgment of the kind of player I am. The last thing I want is repetitiveness. I would much rather play games for the fun of it rather than a competitive aspect. I try to play as many playlists as possible but the playlists are just so bland. To me it feels as if every playlist is exactly the same. Trust me I mix it up. BTB games I do a ton of driving and no vehicle gets left out. I play a good bit of double exp and I try to play with mainly my good group of friends as much as possible. And I usually try not to play the same thing constantly. Halo 3 got boring after the first couple months it released. Theirs just something about it that just wasn't as good as Halo 1 and 2. Probably the fact that it isn't as frantic and as fast paced as the other Halo's. It takes an eternity to kill someone.

Try customs. You know...

With friends? You DO know that you can make your own gametypes, right?

Living Dead comes back next week. I think that's worth putting Halo 3 back in the console if you want a change in gameplay.

But ya, Halo: Reach had better push the Xbox to the shear limit; Even if it takes a second disc for a multiplayer separate from campaign for that extra space.


Agreed



I also agree, if its the last Halo game made by Bungie, the reaction to it should be "Holy -Blam-, this is one of the best games ever!"

You can't kill what's dead.

Stand. Fight. Resist. S2F.

I hear it's having a "AAA Engine" meaning it probably will be the best, and I mean THE best, the Xbox can offer.
