Halo Reach Thread

Sounds like a future IGN/Destructoid writer.

Nah, if it was Destructoid, he would be saying "This. game. is. ****. Please give us page views!".

No temptation to play the game early over here. I already know I'll enjoy it based on the beta, and I have no problems waiting until the 14th.

What is Halo Reach?

A small FAQ from IGN.

Remaining two parts (it won't let me embed) :s and is combining multiple posts!

The biggest game this year is getting some serious push on the media. My god, it's Halo everywhere. Internet and retail. Every store I go to (walmart, target, gamestop, bestbuy) has Halo Reach count down timers, banners, posters, etc. This is gonna be big people.

I hope XBL doesn't go down on launch day next Tuesday with everyone trying to get on at the same time :(

Maybe that is why they are increasing the cost of Gold, to add more servers to the whole system.

Review scores from some polish magazine (as seen on gaf). Review embargo lifts this Saturday (I think).

Score:

+ single, multi, forge, firefight, coop, theatre, ai, sound...

- after all, graphics could be better.

Overall score: 10/10.

Individual score:

Graphics: 8/10

Sound: 10/10

"Joy"/fun/gameplay: 10/10

Design: 10/10

And side score from another person in the same magazine, who also praises the game: 9/10.

can't wait, all hyped up!

This ****ing game is going to rock metacritic.

This ****ing game is going to rock metacritic.

Then I hope the multiplayer is going to be a little better than the single player, and if this game gets all perfect reviews then I'm going to be frustrated. I can tell it's not perfect in any way and I haven't played the previous games in the series but the story seems a bit woolly to me.

The last time Halo got a 10/10..... :rolleyes:

I am unnecessarily hyped. I bought the Xbox Halo 1 edition and have the 360 Reach edition on reserve. :)

Playing the previous games gives a good amount of context as to why a Halo game is the way it is. The community is split among those who played from day 1 to those who came in on later titles and they all have different views on what Halo is. Still, no game is perfect.

Bungie panel at PAX 2010

Spotted a "goof", in the second video they show Carter without his helmet and he looks like he has light black skin complexion. However, in..

He is white :p Same thing with Kat who in the recent live action trailer is white with blonde hair.

I knew something was off when I saw him, now I realize what :p. I think he is more brown than black?

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

Yeah I really don't know how best to describe that skin colour. My bad

uh, no big deal! As per the canon all spartans have a palish skin colors due to their suits. :p may be that explains the difference!

So been watching the PAX panel videos on & off through the afternoon.

They've confirmed DLC for the game without actually confirming it (from the Q&A section of video 4). I wonder what it'll be & how much of it is lined up.

It'd be awesome if they added some SP DLC for a change as another short bridge between Reach & 1. Possibly a tease at Master Chief in his younger days :woot:
