Halo CE had the best campagin so far. I hope Reach is atleast 2xs better.

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

Im in it for the multiplayer, and that has been getting better from the beginning.

And in terms of the campaign, best was Marathon.

Possible

Likely?

That's all up in the air. Each successive sequel so far changes the weapon mechanics so much it's impossible to predict.

The pistols are a prime example.
1. Powerful with scope
2. Rapid fire with less power
3. Slower fire with moderate power
4(odst). No power but scope

There is a distinct lack of consistancy from volume to volume, even on items that are the crowd favorite.

So far, the best recovery from a disorienting experience is the return of the rocket launcher to near CE standards with Halo 3.

And given the new abilities with the 360, even after release, Halo 3 had issues with balance and didn't settle after release for a good while, it was like playing a beta still.

You'd think by the 3rd time around they'd have a stable base...yet with ODST the same radical changes happened with weaponry(mechanics are understandable as it's a normal human).

I don't expect that part of Reach to be any better than Halo 3 was at first. I do expect to see things I like nerfed or missing entirely, some new and pointless things, and some of the least used weapons completely untouched.

In short, you should be a pessimist. Expect the worst and you're never let down. And if it ends up being a great game on release, your surprise and joy is that much more.

I certainly hope so.

If it's anywhere near as good as the first game I will be happy.
