Reach Has Toughest Halo Enemies Ever



Think the Covenant forces are tough when you're on your own? Bring a few friends in Halo: Reach [http://www.amazon.com/Halo-Reach-Xbox-360/dp/B002BSA20M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1277489481&sr=8-1] and you'll see how tough they really are.

To get a decent challenge in a co-op game of Halo 3 or ODST, players had to crank up the difficultly level, because the enemies got no more of less tough, regardless of how many Spartans were shooting at them. But all that is set to change with Halo: Reach, as the game will automatically alter the difficulty of your foes depending on how many people are playing.

Speaking to Kotaku [http://kotaku.com/5571954/halo-reach-will-be-harder-than-you-think-less-spacey], Bungie's Brian Jarrard said that in Reach enemies in co-op play would not just toughen up physically, they'd also get smarter and trickier, make better use of cover and just generally be more dangerous to fight. Jarrard told the site that the enemies in a four player co-op game would be the most devilish enemies ever seen in a Halo game.

I must admit that this piques my interest in Halo: Reach, and especially in the co-op mode. Taking on the role of a space marine and battling wily aliens with a few friends sounds like a pretty fun way to spend some time. Halo: Reach gets released on September 14th.

I hope Bungie is truly pulling out all the stops here, I really like the Halo series, and I want it to go out with a bang.

Ooo, this will make their new Firefight mode even more fun.

So far all the enemies return, but I haven't heard anything on the Drones and Engineers. I look forward to launching rockets to them.

Yay! :D

Oh wait... Microsoft are being dicks about which customers they sell their games to. Silly me.

EDIT: Yes, I mean that they aren't releasing it for the PC. Before you say that they should only release their games on their own platform, remember that PCs run Microsoft Windows, which belongs to Microsoft.

So we're fighting ducklings now?

*dodges thrown tomatoes*

I kid!

Seriously though, I doubt it'll matter to me, since I don't have a 360.

If its actually true, then SCORE!
Trust me, they aren't lying. That's one of those things Bungie never actually does.
Didn't they say ODST was going tp be an expansion pack?

Hmm, I'm not sure if I believe this - it would be great were it true, however. Most developers say things like this but it often boils down to enemies having 10% more health or other trivial changes.

Bungie wouldn't lie about a confirmed feature. Also, normal Legendary mode was more health. More Reach has systems like how enemies can see you, hear you, and level of aggression and tactics. It's likely if you're in leg with 4 peeps, all of that will be on full.

I truly hope this game will be as epic as they promise( glares at Halo 3), Halo is one of my all time favorite game series (shut up I already know your opinions on the matter). so I'm hoping that this game will embody everything that's great about Halo. Also space battles :p

Huh? That makes no sense.
They only sell their games on the 360. For that they have my mild contempt.
