Halo Reach Thread


Recommended Posts

That Halo Reach 360 controller looks pretty sweet. I like the silver, and the design is quite nice as well. The console itself doesn't really do it for me, though. I just prefer the black system with none of that weird text across the front. If they had a black console instead of the silver one, I would be awfully tempted to buy the package for $400 USD (system, Halo Reach, 2 controllers).

From Major Nelson:

BTW: The Halo: Reach console makes a Halo inspired sound when you turn it on, and another one (shield power up) when you eject the drive

I miss the Halo 3 green though. :p

My second X360 before it died and I returned it. :wub:

I sadly traded that in for the new slim. Couldn't pass up the deal and 250GB drive, just too awesome. The Reach one almost hits the spot, but honestly by the time it came out the amazing deals would have disappeared. Not to mention what is the point of getting the limited edition if the console comes with the game, too?

Don't think this has been posted, probably has but, unboxing of the limited edition, legendary editiion and limited edition console.

The legendary looks even bigger now! Does anyone know the dimensions of it?

So pumped for this game.

Pre-ordered legendary a month or so back, the wait is killing me :D. Always been a big Halo fan, but this game looks to be the greatest of them all, even above the epic experience that was CE.

I'll be brutally honest here. I'm not sold on Halo: Reach. I did play the Beta. I do intend on buying the game. After being an owner of all the Halo's...Reach (yes I know it's a lot different) just didn't feel so accurate. I felt lag almost a bad as Gears of War 2 during launch and the game modes, I'm not sold on them. I was thinking about getting the higher edition that's not Standard but I'm not sure about that.

Does anyone feel this way about the game? I'm looking for some hours of dedication insight.

I mean no disrespect to the Halo fans, but I really wouldn't worry too much if you're expecting it to be drastically different to the previous Halo games. Bungie has kept the gameplay and mechanics roughly the same throughout the franchise, and I don't think they'll take a step backwards with netcode or anything that they have already laid the groundwork for this generation.

true, I don't think there will be any groundbreaking new gameplay changes. They mentioned that the netcode is improved a lot in comicon panel.

The music was a little underwhelming in that trailer but the footage was epic! Cannot wait for this game :cry:

seriously! It looks epic and beautiful! (even if you take off a few points for any PP that they did on it)

You missed that thing?!

I can't wait to replace mine with a Slim once I finally have more disposable income.

It looks like a childs toy IMO.

I was talking about the musical score? I agree that the graphics are epic and beautiful just that the musical score for the trailer didn't fit the pace of the action going on in the trailer.

I have the ugly green Halo 3 edition one as well ... still going strong but I want the new black slim. Time to eBay this badboy!

Either that or the Halo Reach version ... that one looks slick, especially with two controllers & the game.

Looks alright, shame I never got to test the Beta to make up my mind.

Will there be a demo of sorts? Else I'll have to skip it.

Nah theres never a demo for halos but I honestly urge you to at least rent the game when it comes out because

you will not regret its pretty intesnse and the new forge is going to give me at least 4 years worth if not more!

We unfortunately have no places to rent games from around here - I rely heavily on demos.

And every Halo game is minor upgrade of the last when it comes to the 'feel' of playing the game ( Not talking features ) and it's the feel

of the gameplay that matters to me. So I'd like to see if they hit the sweet spot or not, I refuse to shell out ?30-40 to crash test it.

So hopefully I'll find a way to give it a try before I buy.

Well if you do, understand that It feels different from past Halo's (talking from the beta) however still keeps the same core gameplay

Armour Abilities change the game a ton and give so much more strategy as if you play with a team you get the most out of them working

together with seperate AA's =)

It really is quite fun and its got much more gameplay changes than Halo 3 Had

To put it short, its not just a graphical upgrade

But thats just my Point of View =D
