***Official Halo Reach Thread***

I think the reviews of ODST are understandable though.

It was kind of a half game as we even knew when we bought it that Reach was on the way as they'd already announced it and were including the Beta access with it.

It was a side story after having finished off the main story arc in Halo 3 so it was never going to be as epic. The environments were somewhat bland compared to on Halo as for the most part its all set in the city. Also I was disappointed in the story in the way that The Rookie never spoke and it was odd that you played all the other characters.

Mutliplayer wise, Firefight was great, but that's all it was. The rest was Halo 3 multiplayer, which most people already had.

Reach is an entirely new game, although of course still Halo.

Halo Wars wasn't Bungie.
 
ODST wasn't great IMO. I found the whole game city had a real cut and paste feel to it and it felt very tired. I never got to play fire fight though as none of my friends had it and they failed on match making.

Well Firefight in ODST was never going to have match making because it was built around the co-op portion of the campaign, which didn't have match making. It would have required a huge amount of coding to implement it and they didn't have time with them only have a 14 month development window.

Reach has match making for both Firefight and Campaign this time, since it was planned that way from the start.

The price you'd pay online your aswell hitting the high street along from you. Cash Generators usually had a few just sitting. Gamestation aswell.

gamestation sucks or at least from what i got, i got the first xbox from them (pre-owned yes, but still sad) after 3 months of having it, it started smoking which was not fun at all

also, i tried to pre-order halo reach lim there (since they said it was free to pre-order) turned out, that the more you put down to get it, the more of a chance they will have it for you...........so it was like a first come first serve

the only thing i got from them that was good, were the halo 3 figures from mcf
 
Windle do you work for that shop?
Or do you just moderate?

I ordered the Legendary Edition from them, my first time ordering from the shop, impressed so far.

Looks like you've got a hard time on your hands though as it seems there is already a million people moaning. But I thought your post about reading between the lines made it quite obvious!

Only suggested gamestation because theres one along from him lol
 
I understand it was just a little filler of a game that wasnt going to have matchmaking but the experience for me still failed to provide anything of substance.

Its good though. More time to focus and polish reach,

I'm one of the forum admins, and we aren't direct employees of the shop.

There's no helping some people to be honest, I just delete the posts that are ridiculous and try and keep it reasonable. Maybe they'll all get a surprise on Monday and that'll shut them up.
 
I see.

I especially like the post from the guy who is moaning about wanting it to the day before because his son likes to play with his friends... if he doesn't get it, he will go to a supermarket at midnight instead.

Yeah whatever... admit it's for you!

i got them from a deals website, every man and his dog will be using them

no doubt why they discontinued the £5 off reach code.
 
Nice just post spoilers in a thread about a game that's not out yet. Idiot, by sounds of it a lot of people have pre-ordered this and are looking forward to it then you post that.
