Halo CE- Amazing
Halo 2- Revolutionary
Halo 3- Masterpiece
Halo Reach- The Black Sheep of the bunch
Halo 4- Incredible

Did you know that 93% of all statistics on the internet are made up on the spot, and that 68% of readers believe them?

By the look of things, Bungie is moving along quite nicely. Yes, it is unfortunate that some inconsiderate bastard felt the need to covertly snap a few shots of an early build of Reach, but whats done is done.

So we have to just take what we know for sure and make an informed decision on what to think about this.

First, Bungie wants us to remain in the dark up until the last possible second when they are ready to reveal something, whether that's a trailer, pics, podcast, etc, they have the final say on when we get info or and official reveal.

That said, the weapon models do look rather nice, which leads me to believe these are not just the work of some freelance mod or whatever.

Ive been playing Killzone 2 since its release and i must say that NO other game i have played has married amazing graphics with smooth, intuitive gameplay quite like it.

So ever since playing that, i have been wishing Reach would deliver on the graphical front, with new lighting effects, better weapon modeling, higher-res renders, etc.

Sure, im gonna get MW2 when it comes out to hold me over until Reach, but even that doesn't look impressive graphically, although its gameplay is gonna make up for that and then some.

All in all, im excited and have a new-found confidence in Bungie for what they will release next fall. Reach is shaping up to be the Halo with the graphics we all want, and the inventiveness we all need, especially Bungie, to stay competitive in this constantly evolving market.

The level of quality has greatly risen, thus putting more pressure on Bungie's already crushing load...if thats even possible. But dont worry, they can handle it.

Bungie will deliver.

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.

Why? Because the Dudes abide.

I'm very happy with what I've seen so far. I just hope the AR isn't the default starting weapon. I'm guessing they won't make that mistake again.

I am not sure about all this regarding leaked screenshots, information and such, but one thing is sure, Halo Reach isn't ready for its release, and perhaps soon the beta will occur, there many people will get their answer.

Also, its too early to have a great quality in graphics, keep in mind to run the tests quickly and smoother the developers use low graphics resolution. Only when the testers have to play through the latest developed levels, the graphics might be the high quality ones of the *final* version that will go retail.

Lets wait, and seeing some screenshots that show an incomplete level with a few characters looking around, means that bungie is working for real on Halo Reach, and they're putting a good effort.

Now, let's find what happened to the webmaster monkey?

Yeah, it sucks that someone took pics on the game, but whatever, that's not even a fraction of what Halo: Reach will show.

I love the BR, but I understand WHY the AR is always the default.

You don't have amazing range, you aren't too weak/strong.

You start at the ultimate even point. In a game of AR starts, you are vulnerable, but everyone else is. But the AR does have a certain degree of killing power.

I mean, it isn't useless. Arguably the most balanced game you could ever possibly play would have everyone using one. The weapon has no unique ability, doesn't require much skill Super duper basic.

I like AR starts. It means my game starts with everyone at a weak point, then its a race to find a weapon your strong with, not just cross the map and kill right away like BR. Is it slower? No. It's just more effort.

Some people are so pathetically desperate for attention they are willing to make a fool of themselves just to have about five minutes of fame.

Honestly, to this point, I have only seen one photo. The Needlebine one with the Hog. When I realized what I was looking at, I stopped looking. I wasn't interested. Who cares what it looks like for him or what he found, I'll get to play it soon anyhow.

Signatures are for squares.

Discussion of leaks is against the rules...
