Halo Reach -

Ridg3 · #31 09-15-2010, 03:16 AM

Well, a couple of mates went to the launch night and brought home a copy each... boy, was I jealous. Anyways, they got home at around half one and completed the game in roughly 5 hours and said that it was the most epic yet.

One of my friends invited me in to play online and I'll tell you... it's amazing how balanced they've got it. It's not like before what with the whole run in shooting, last second pistol whip, oh no, Reach makes you work for your kills.
Single player as well (albeit I've on played like 5 minutes of the first mission) was simply beautiful and surprisingly open.

I'm waiting for it to arrive in the mail. Hopefully it will today; if not, tomorrow.

Strike Witch · #33 09-15-2010, 05:43 AM

Finished it.

Gay ending. I play through all of that, watch all my team mates die, only to get stuck in a yard and gang-raped by Elites? Fucking smarmy Halsey bitch.

OANST · #34 09-15-2010, 06:34 AM

OH NO YOU SPOILER BITCH YOU RUINED FUCKING HALO REACH FOR ME JESUS CHRIST WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU ARE YOU STUPID????!!!!!

Heh. Halo can suck my dick.

Hazel-Rah · #35 09-15-2010, 07:48 AM

Halo Reach is awesome!

The graphics look great, not quite Killzone 2 quality but what is? The sound...holy f the sound is the best I've ever heard in a video game. Not only is the soundtrack great but the way the sound effectss are implemented like when you lose you're hearing temporarily after an explosion is masterful adds so much to the experience.

I love the gameplay, everything feels so weighty and realistic, not like in COD where you and your weapons are like a feather weight.

The best thing about Reach though is the new Ivory Tower! I still kick ass on that map *nostalgiasm* One thing that sucks about Reach though is the frame rate, it's fitting that I compared Reach to Killzone 1 since that was the same problem that plagued it, is Reach too much for the 360 to handle?! IDK it's so fun.

Wish I had an Xbox for this game!

LOLOLOL SPOIL SPOIL SPOIL DERP

Thanks a lot, douche.

Daxter King · #38 09-15-2010, 12:15 PM

Yeah, Strike Witch you dumb cunt.

Laser · #39 09-15-2010, 12:23 PM

Halo Reach? Halo WANK more like! Amirite?

Isn't this the Oddworld Forums? Oh, and by the way Forge is awesome, you can do a lot more in it, but all the controls aren't the same, it takes some getting used to.

Wait what?

GAAH I can't concentrate on any of my homework now because of Reach, shit's gonna kill my GPA.

Alf Shall Rise · #42 09-16-2010, 03:31 AM

I got it and have started playing. I've only finished two levels so far, and it's been pretty sweet. I'm glad Halsey is in the game.

Phylum · #43 09-16-2010, 04:26 AM

EDIT: Fuck. This isn't the "What are you playing?" thread!

Hazel-Rah · #44 09-16-2010, 02:33 PM

You could talk about playing Reach.

Yeah it's such a fun game, I'm playing Firefight for the first time, last time I played shit like that online was MechAssault 2 on Xbox.

Daxter King · #45 09-16-2010, 02:45 PM

Hazel joined my game then didn't even talk to me.

I cant wait to have a muck around on forge world

Alf Shall Rise · #47 09-18-2010, 04:50 AM

I finished yesterday. I liked it a lot.

The ending after the credits where you had to survive as long as possible was neat, in my opinion. Now I'm going to have to finish the game on Legendary, because apparently there's a secret ending like there was in Halo 3.

Well...yeah. Reach does get fucked over so I kind of had it coming.

Twas fun to see Captain Keyes again, he looks good when not getting skullfucked by the Flood.

Hazel-Rah · #49 09-18-2010, 09:03 AM

Beat it on Legendary.

That game is phenomenal, my one complaint with it was not building enough on the hopelessness of the situation and how they were just like "The Covenant will never come here" then how they were like "Oh look it's the Covenant". Reach is like the Thermopylae of the Halo universe so that's why they had "That really gay ending where all the good guys died *cries* uuughh it's so unlike Anime!"

Also the sense of scale given in the cut scenes were still a bit deceiving, but they've been doing that since Halo 3, showing huge scale rendered battles then having the missions be nothing like what you've seen.

Best Halo ever, by far.

Daxter King · #50 09-18-2010, 09:13 AM

Rendered? What do you mean by that? Every Halo game has the cut scenes run in game, just like when you're playing.

Hazel-Rah · #51 09-18-2010, 09:17 AM

Yeah, so why can't we get those large scale battles in the actual gameplay?

Daxter King · #52 09-18-2010, 10:39 AM

To be honest, I wonder the same thing. Bungie made a big deal of having more AI at once, but I don't remember a battle that was larger than the big ones in Halo 3(The Ark level, and The Covenant level).

You don't watch much anime, huh?

Dixanadu · #54 09-18-2010, 02:02 PM

Can't remember which level it was, but you could see Scarabs, Wraiths and Scorpions fighting in the distance.

The feeling of hopelessness was shown in the level 'Exodus', when you're in the Falcon passenger seat and watch as Brutes tear the shit out of civilians.

@Hazel-Rah: Did you get the achievement where the Scorpion tank doesn't get destroyed? Shades fuck me off...

Ridg3 · #55 09-18-2010, 02:05 PM

You're all dicks... I still haven't finished the fucking game, use spoiler tags.

Dynamithix · #56 09-18-2010, 02:18 PM

What Ridg3 said. You all ruin the experience for me, a person who might play it through at a friend's house!

Wings of Fire · #57 09-18-2010, 03:34 PM

OH NO THE STORY OF HALO IS FOREVER RUINED

SUCH A MAJESTIC TALE

Yep, "Tank Beats Everything" I beat it on Legendary with three other friends so it wasn't so bad, doing it alone is gonna be a bitch.

I didn't bother because Strike Witch already told everyone what was gonna happen, dude it's Reach what did you think was gonna happen?

Hey atleast some of the protagonists die in Halo and it's not like your precious Gundam Wing where all the protagonists walk out of the whole ordeal without sustaining a single loss.

Daxter King · #59 09-18-2010, 04:56 PM

Halo 1 spoiled Halo Reach for me.

Gundam Wing was the worst anime I've ever seen.

What stop did your analogy get off on?
