Subject: Hey Guys!

So I'm writing an essay on halo reach and its a judgement essay or a review or an opinion supported with logical arguments.
I was just wondering if you guys could comment this thread with whether you like or dislike reach and if you could say why, just list reasons you don't have to explain them (but it would really help if you did). thanks guys!

I'm new to competitive Halo and Halo itself (Reach being my first video game ever actually). Message me if you want to play;

Reach: MLG, Arena, Doubles, BTB and customs.
Halo 3: Ranked MM and customs.

Also I have every Halo title and all of its DLC on the Xbox 360.

I dislike reach because it is a bad essay topic.

Sorry for being unhelpful but it is true.

I reject your reality and substitute my own :D

Reach is good, I gotta admit, but if you're trying to write a judgement essay...
...that's a different story.

When I play to win I voice message people call outs.

I find Reach to be extremely fun as a game but not as a Halo game if you know what I mean.

The original gameplay mechanics and maps were bad, but since the title update and additional maps have been released I've come to like Reach.

The Renaissance Man; The Bigger Fool.

On a whole, I would give it a 5/10 or 6/10 for several reasons. This doesn't mean I dislike it as a whole however, just some of the aspects.

Multiplayer
Overall, I would say that multiplayer gets boring after a little while for one of two reasons: 1. Winning is too easy, or 2. Losing consistently. A lot of this revolves around your teammates and their ability but it is a very deciding factor.

Firefight
Less difficult than ODST, which is disappointing. Much of this revolves around the map but is also affected by the enemy. The maps are more open and have less concentrated space to wait out enemy in. The enemy also seem to be much less aggressive than ODST and don't really seek you out except to the area near you.

Forge & Custom Games
For me, easily the best part of the game. There are an incredible amount of community made games that offer an incredible amount of entertainment. There is also a wide spectrum regarding gameplay which allow for hours upon hours of fun.

Campaign
The storyline wasn't the best, but the gameplay was good in parts. There wasn't a whole lot of depth of the characters in Noble Team, and this was disappointing. Co-op makes this campaign fun to roam around in however, especially New Alexandria.

I hope this helped.
