Halo it's been a very good, jumpy, epic, sad, amazing, and hard 10 so years in this series. Some of us have been playing since Halo1, and before. Some are new, but either way if you like it and understand it then I'm sure this post will make more sense.

So far we have had Halo:CE, Halo2, Halo3 and Halo ODST, and a few awesome videos, Halo Wars, commercials and other cool Halo stuff for the last few years. Now the Halo Series has ended, Halo3 did seal the end of the time line, ODST gave us some nice fun, cool new mode and a new look at the Halo universe.

So now we need to look (in a good way) of how important Reach is. Reach will hopefully and probably be the LAST full, complete, new engine Halo game. So Bungie I think knowing this will want to make this series end with a BIG BANG.

And I don't mean any "Big Bang" I mean 10 super nova huge ass big. It's been 10+ years of Halo, this last game (in Halo) has a lot of weight on it. If this game is "eh ok" then Halo will end as something more average, yet if this game is amazing, and the best game ever (or near it)then it will end as that.

So what could help Reach....
1-Long big campaign. DOesnt have to be weeks to beat, but we need a game that will take a long time, and even if you rush it on easy mode will take a good amount of time. And big scale, The "small" maps should be around the same size as "The Ark" or "The Covenant" (Which are probably the 2 biggest maps in halo..maybe)

2-An epic Story. The story should be something that really touches us. Makes you think deep and hard about whats going on. There is a lot of potential for some very tear jerking moments here. Reach was a big fight, a lot of people were lost. And if Bungie can get that "Holy crap this place is burning" feeling, that "We got our backs up againsts the wall" then the story, feeling will be amazing

3-Mix it Up. Have a good amount of environments. ODST was good but compared to 1,2,3 it lacked the 'Jumpy" environments that makes Halo so good. We have had deserts, jungles, swamps, snow, rain, complexes, light, dark, scary, and many other environments. Reach needs many environments, space levels too, underground levels, anything they can. And taking a big hint from ODST, Night Time levels=Good!!!!

4-FireFight . Firefight is a good idea, but ODST is a start. Reach can really make this gametype something that turns heads (or controllers BAH). Anyway for one make it more random, have more enemies (flood etc), and a lot more maps or DLC. Maybe have more then 4 players, maybe 5, 6. Make it harder in ways.

5-Graphics and sound. Graphics here is a key now, not like it's the only thing but having good graphics plus everything else will make Reach a lot better. So far I have heard that they have been working on new graphics tech for a year or 2 and could mean super epic HaloReach grahpics. Lets hope. Remember this isn't Halo4. It's Reach, it can be a new style and still be halo.

Now sound we have nothing to worry about. Marty is epic, amazing and talented and all his work is good. But Sound does need to be good.

Overall we need a big, long, amazing, smart, good looking good sounding, new, good old game.

Reach. Let it be amazing!
