Microsoft Dates Halo: Reach

[Prophetic Heresy]

No word as to whether or not Reach will put out after dinner.

Damn, you beat me to it. I'm surprised there aren't more Halo haters in this thread. It's one of the most popular bandwagons for people who think they're smarter than they are pretentious.

 

[Grey_Focks]

I won't be buying it, I don't want the same lazy repackaged game just with jetpacks bolted on to it.

Wake me up when there is some actual creativity in the series.

seeing as how I approve of your Col. O'Neil avatar, I'll make this short...

Jetpacks aren't the only addition. If you played the beta, you would know there are several additions. That's all I'll say, out of respect for the O'Neil avatar.

OT: Well, now I have a date for when I will mysteriously come down with a case of something contagious enough to warrant staying home for a week.

While I can say I'll definitely play the game, if only to complete the story mode once, I sure as hell am not looking forward to the waves of anti-Halo trolls who will swarm these forums. And it will happen, don't try telling me otherwise.

 

[randomrob]

I shall be sure to start a parade through the streets of where i live. To commemorate the wonderful fact that Halo is ending.

While I can say I'll definitely play the game, if only to complete the story mode once, I sure as hell am not looking forward to the waves of anti-Halo trolls who will swarm these forums. And it will happen, don't try telling me otherwise.

That happens roughly every Sunday, and whenever a Halo thread is made, which is all the time.

That being said, I definitely am looking forward to this. Halo 3 wasn't my favorite game compared to, say, Halo 3 ODST, but Reach looks interesting in more ways than one. It has potential.

 

[Lemon Of Life]

Nah, the Beat completely put me off Reach. I loved Halo 3's multiplayer to bits, but it feels like the powers are a gimmick that wasn't thought out properly and ruin the flow of what was a fantastic multiplayer.

Sad face.

 

[deth2munkies]

Ooh a game I have no interest in comes out the day before my birthday.

Too bad

 

[Brad Shepard]

Dident expect it to be that soon, but i cant complane.

 

[Sixties Spidey]

HELLOOO, LEGENDARY EDITION!

 

[Sir Ollie]

They always seem to release Halo near my birthday...Conspiracy!

 

[Leftyrem]

117 days between the end of the Beta and the release date. Any Halo fan will notice that that's not a coincidence. For any one who doesn't know, that was the Spartan number of John, (Master Chief).

wow that is funny

 

[Megalodon]

Didn't play the beta, may pick it up some time next year when the price has dropped. This installment like ODST before it, fills me with complete apathy.

 

[Stilt-Man]

"Just as Halo: Combat Evolved catalyzed the success of the original Xbox to define a decade of entertainment

That's a pretty big claim, there.

 

[Alon Shechter]

I heard rumors that this game will be MP only...
Is that true?

 

[GamingAwesome1]

Making it a personal note to avoid the internet for about a month after the release date then. Since I will end up arguing with fanboys over the series comeplete lack of any actual creativity or uniqueness.

 

[Tharwen]

So they're releasing it... right after the school holidays? That doesn't seem at all sensible to me.

 

[duchaked]

yeah saw the date on the pre-order card at Best Buy

Serious fans only, please.

chyeah

 

[Deofuta]

Sweet, Played the beta, felt like a bastard child between MW2 and H3, which for me is awesome.

Also, I'm thinking this thread is going to need a lot of:

Spoiler

 

[RobThePrezodent]

imagine if microsoft actually went on a date with halo reach. That'd be crazy. ANyway i might buy halo reach, I don't know. I didn't play the beta, and i've heard mixed reviews, so i might just stick with halo and cod, and pretend i'm playing them both at the same time.

 

[Buizel91]

Wait... if it's a prequel, shouldn't they have jetpacks in the other games as well? Why would they get rid of jet-pack technology? And the needler rifle?

But I'm still probably not going to get it. I've never bought a Halo game and I'm not going to start now... The super limited edition looks pretty sweet though.

Jet packs were only used in deep space missions if you read the novel...or summit like that, in Halo Combat evolved, the autumn fled, so not getting any new supplies of equipment.

number 2 the commander took an unexpected jump, so they were not used again, because of equipment, and she supplied marines on the ground, so again couldn't of been used.

and same for 3, they didn't know what they were facing. And most of the battle happened on earth.

But reach will be shit-loaded with them =)

and the needle rifle became the carbine, and plasma repeater to the plasma rifle, focus rifle to beam rifle and so on =)
