Subject: Reach has a high bar to meet.

With the release of MW 2, Reach has to be amazing or else CoD will pull ahead of the Halo franchise.

In the days of old, there were legends of a land long lost to time. This land was known as Ranna'Mor. Ranna'Mor was said to contain in its borders 7 warriors. These warriors had once unleashed a veritable hell upon the ancient world, until they were locked away. My name is Toriad, and I am one of those warriors. Our return is approaching. Do not run away, do not cower in fear; take solace in your final days, for that is all we can do. -Legend of Ranna'Mor

ODST got a lot of positive reviews, and did pretty well for itself. The campaign's a bit short, but Firefight is loads of fun. Look up to facts, don't post opinions.

On topic, I'd say that the reason Reach will have a high bar to meet is because this is Halo we are talking about. Few franchises, games especially, have reached the high that Halo has.

As for comparing it to Modern Warfare 2, well, why? These are two different games that are being released a whole year apart. Modern Warfare got great reviews and press, but like it's predecessors, it's thunder will die out by next year.

This is the dumbest comment on this thread yet.

But the OP is right. MW2 is a great game, and Bungie has to try to top it.

i agree with Toa freak call of duty will die next year

Mythical Group

There is no greater catharsis than arguing on the Flood.

I have not seen any bar highered.

Needless to say, Bungie will do what they usually do, blow us away. (pun unintended)

Wow...how many times has this been said?? MICROSOFT IS THE ONE WHO DECIDED THE PRICE, NOT BUNGIE.

And no, I can't see MW2 dying next year. I like it, and it's taken Halo 3s spot as my most played game until Reach (or maybe Battlefield Bad Company 2)

Excellent. Nod grows stronger by your victories.

CoD=overrated.

Bungie already knows they have a high bar to meet. But they don't need to compare their game with a mediocre overly-hyped war game.

I'm the cult of personality,
I call it like i see it, if i feel the need to be blunt and to the point, then i will, if i feel the need to be very detailed, i will, im here to stay and im here to do things my way, if you respect that or not is your choice, not mine,
and don't worry, while i don't agree with everyone's opinion, i do respect everyone's opinion.

If it's so "over rated" (it's two words by the way, not one) how come it sold more copies than GTAIV? It's not over rated, just because you don't like it personally doesn't mean everyone else doesn't.

Bungie better step up and make Reach an extremely good Halo game or they will fail.

  • 11.12.2009 12:28 PM PDT

I bet Reach is going to put the bar so high, not one of the future Halo games will get even close.

Modern Warfare 2 will have died out and come the release of Reach next year its all anyone will want to buy, whether or not its good we all know most of us will get it.
It has a high bar to meet, the bar isnt raised by other games its raised by our expectation and what we want from new halo games.

yea, inlike Halo, Cod leaves no lasting influence, they come out and are forgotten next year when another comes out, Halo games are all loved and still played. Seriously who still plays Cod 2 and 3? But alot of people still play Halo 1 and 2.

Halo is unique. It has a truly epic story that has back story. The multiplayer keeps you playing for hours on end without boring the hell out of you. Quite the opposite of CoD.

It's all about personal preferences. Personally, I found CoD4 a fun game with short legs. Meaning it provided its fun factor for a limited time. With various camping spots and cheap in-game mechanics that ruin the overall experience the game is ultimately a let down. Modern Warfare 2 is the same; however, this time around it poorly attempts to balance kill streak rewards.

Of course this a Halo forum. On Infinity Ward's forums people who love the CoD series won't have much positive things to say about Halo.
