Hey, how's it going?

Anyone watch the Bungie goodbye video? If you actually did you would know this

I'm pretty sure in that they said in the video that they were so pleased with Reach as they were finally able to put everything into Halo that they wanted to put in way back in Halo CE, so really Reach is the REAL Halo experience.

Just saying.

Same here. I think the real Halo experience is Halo 3. Becasue a lot of it's weapons where going to be used in Halo: CE. But they didn't have time to do it.

Indeed. It's maybe the Halo experience for newcomers, but my Halo experience is more along the lines of the original Halo trilogy.

Yeah I know what you're checking for.

Sadly I got my 50 after they stopped doing the stats for Halo 3 here.

Yeah, Bungie said a lot of things, like Halo Reach was their swan song. They also said Halo 2 was their biggest regret...

Clearly they don't have a clue.

Very unfortunate.

The online experience is pretty good IMO. Didn't have nearly as many gaffs out of the box as previous iterations. But I think Bungie has admitted they wish they could have done more with the Reach storyline.

I love changes, sometimes even extreme ones for freshness, but making my Halo all brown and lifeless and making my Spartans all slow and sluggish is unacceptable.

Halo: Reach is the beginning of a new age for gaming.
It proves that developers can get away with punishing their players instead of fixing their game....and yet the fanboys will still sing praises to them.

-blam!- all of you fanboys!

Do any of you remember Silent Cartographer?

Do you remember collecting grenades, gathering them into a pile, and blowing the jeep up?

How about that other snow level with the tanks..where you eventually came to a barrier that made you disembark on foot?
Did you ever collect enough grenades to blow that tank over the barrier?

This is what defined Halo. Breaking the game. And accomplishing tasks that didn't necessarily break the game, but weren't exactly intended to have happen.

Same goes with the little trick of jumping off that bridge and barely touching the wall to get your teammate to spawn in before you died...etc. etc. Shortcuts.

The Halo experience was the process of breaking the campaign, and yet somewhow, the campaign would continue on.

Do you see that kind of stuff in any of the other Halo's? No!


The one thing missing from Halo 2/Reach is the ability to just -blam!- around and go places you're not supposed to go, with things that you aren't supposed to go there with.

I still remember somehow surviving that huge fall at the bottom of Silent Cartographer with the warthog, and driving around down there with it.

These other Halo's had nothing even remotely close to that kind of messing around.
Halo 2 being the exception with that weird super-jump glitch.
But that was a multiplayer glitch which was unnacceptable.

Most of this is because vehicles were no longer indestructible.
You try putting a pile of grenades under a jeep in Halo: Reach...and what happens? Nothing. The jeep gets destroyed.

You can't hop in a ride that sucker through the air..

My problems [with Reach] are basically just full parties, mlg, and people who go out of their way not to get killed.

That doesn't mean it's the best experience. Just because someone says it is magically makes it so? Okay there, tiger.

Ooh, I love those people, the ones who decide to throw everything and the kitchen sink at you, as if an M16 does anything to a T-90. Oh, MLG player with noobtube instead? Congrats! You blew off one of my ablative plates!

You could do that? I was able to get myself quite far across the chasm but I'd never survive the fall.
