You know I originally felt that Bungie/MS would try to do something with Reach to counter against CoD:MW2...

I highly doubt it because Microsoft wants to see CoD:MW2 sale big since they make money off the sale of each copy (360 copies) due to license fees. It's in Microsoft's best interest to let CoD:MW2 have it's glory, but get the Reach hype train rolling closer to it's own release.

How about nothing? Let MW2 have its spotlight for a few weeks, then when things start to settle down, Bungie starts slowly releasing information building up to the beta release. By the time the Beta comes out, everyone will forget about MW2 and be ecstatic over Reach.

I'm just a guy like you that plays halo.

Why would they want to counter a game that is coming out in 5 or so days when their game is coming out late next year. Doesn't add up.

Microsoft doesn't like to have competitions with itself. It lowers profits.

Actually it does the opposite.

If you own Pizza Hut and Papa Johns and you market them both saying the other is bad then no matter what anyone chooses based on your ads.. you win.

Why would Bungie want to? I'm sure the two companies don't hate each other; the fact that CoD uses a lot of features first introduced to the world in Combat Evolved says otherwise. Bungie will play Call of Duty. Infinity Ward will play Halo.

MW2 will suck anyways with what they have done to the game.

$10 more expensive on PC.
9v9 limit (32v32 limit for CoD4 PC)
Matchmaking instead of Dedi Servers
No lean
No Mod Tools
The DLC maps are already on the disc (meaning IW will charge you for maps you already own)
Paid DLC on PC
etc

MW2 will be fun for about two/four weeks, Its just the same game engine with new weapons and modes so in a way its just like odst which also isnt the best game( though I still like the game) Im not saying MW2 is gonna be bad, I just dont think its gonna be as great as everyones makin it sound. Now halo reach is a all new game and Im sure it will be amazing and bring back many halo fans back

You get weekly updated.


And you get to know that if Shiska and Infinity Ward got into a fight, Shiska would win.

Assuming it was a match of Fisticuffs.


I think pistols at dawn would be better. Everyone knows Shiska with an M6D would beat Infinity Ward with their little tactical nukes.

tactical nukes ftw

I think Modern Warfare 2 will be fun for years, it looks amazing, and better than Halo 3 is these days. And that's coming from a major Halo fan who writes fan fiction, and knows everything about the story. Reach will be better though, in my opinion.

But don't bash MW2.

There is nothing wrong with Halo:Reach. We all just have our gripes about everything we don't like. Not liking something doesn't make it broken.

Perfectly good opinion friend, it simply means you are an FPS fan, not bound to specific titles.

Being able to like any FPS for its good qualities is more of a gift then a curse. Opens you up to cool stuff.

Keep your eye on Battlefield: Bad Company 2.

What I don't get is why people are comparing MW2 and Reach when they are going to be released a year apart, by which time there will most likely be a new Call of Duty. And we haven't even seen anything besides the leaks from Reach, which don't show us much.

There's no need. At this point, Moder Warfare 2 is the big thing. Let it come out and let it reign for a while. Then maybe in December, put something up.

52,000 kills in Halo 2 and more legendary playthroughs in CE than you can imagine. I am truly a God.

ISU Cyclones!

Why does Bungie have to counter it?

Let MW2 have its time in the sun until the Beta hype starts to build up.

Anywho Halo will continue to be my favorite Multiplayer game as long as it keeps one thing that many games are starting to throw out the window: Guests.
