Game Discussion of the Week: Halo: Reach

I thought we had discussed this game, but it must've been on the old forum. You guys know I love this game, and I wouldn't shut up raving about it on the old forum. It's the game I've played the most. It has finally come out on Xbox One (well it's a couple of months since then I guess) and I've played a lot of it. The multiplayer is perfection. I've never played a multiplayer game that has worked so flawlessly as Halo: Reach when it came out. It did literally everything right in terms of connecting to games, voting on maps, having lots of gamemodes and maps etc. It was my first game that I arranged a LAN party of, and I've run countless since then. When Reach was re-released, it was like going back in time. The multiplayer is fantastic, but what I also would like to discuss is the campaign, because even though I've also liked Reach's campaign, it wasn't really until now when I finally appreciated how fucking great it is. I've played through it on Legendary solo, and it's a challenge, but also so rewarding and fair. It was so fun replaying it on Legendary solo that I actually went back to Halo 4 and did a Legendary run on Solo there too, and then I realized how much I hate the campaign of Halo 4. Halo 4 is the opposite in many ways. Reach is hard as hell, but most of the time it feels fair because the enemy is smart and relentless, but they all have a weakness and there are always different ways to take them out. Halo 4 on the other hand is tedious and boring as hell. I would say that I had more problems getting through with Halo 4, and it never felt fair. Enemies there are retarded, but they are so overpowered and have all abilities and then some. They constantly respawn and it's not very fun. Go through Reach again if you have the chance. Best first person shooter game of all time if you ask me.

There were sceptic peoole of Reach, but I think most people have come to appreciate everything Reach did, and the fact that it is the most polished Halo game ever made.

Maybe, it'll probably be with some latency, but maybe they have made it better now.

I didn't know they had films, but I was looking online and they have actual movies of the franchise. I like when games get other media like that, even if game films usually aren't great, it is nice to have a further exploration of the lore the franchise establishes.

I for example love both of the original Mortal Kombat films. Some people didn't like the second one, but I liked it even more than the first because Mortal Kombat was my thing at the time. So it is nice Halo has gotten some love like that too.

I had no idea the Japs were involved, even better then, I'll definitely watch that one, but I'm curious about the others too.

I will check them all out, after I got my Halo 3 figure I became more interested, plus I like anything sci-fi.

Thanks man, yeah I really like it, I still need to clean it. It has some residuals from paste adhesive, but it is easily removable stuff. I definitely recommend those kind of figures, they look nice.
