Poll: Forgot about Reach?

[Just_A_Glitch]

I haven't forgotten about it, but I've not played it for awhile. I've been too preoccupied with other games lately.

BlazBlue: Continuum Shift (I'm trying to actually get good and not win all of my online fights by just Ice Carring with Jin. Not my fault people let me though...)
Fable 3
Left 4 Dead 2 (A friend just bought it, giving me another reason to play it, which makes me very happy)
Singularity (its been sitting around for awhile and I decided to get on it)

And that's all on top of schoolwork.

So once I beat Singularity, and finish using Fable 3 like a dirty little whore, I'll probably start popping Reach back in. But right now, my main concern is BlazBlue.

I haven't played it much recently, but not from a lack of wanting to. I'm either working on personal stuff or playing minecraft for the time being, and I don't have my 360 hooked up and don't really feel like doing that. I'll be back to Reach once all the jerks have moved back to something else that releases in a few days.

 

[Vrex360]

I play it a lot, like almost every time I get the chance. It's a great game to play with friends, plus there's forge and firefight and lots of matchmaking, though my connection is a ***** with terrible technical hiccups so I often end up dropping out of the game.

Still I think it's a damn good game. Probably not the best narrative but in terms of design, gameplay and flexibility with how you want to make your games, it's got you covered.

I'm actually playing it right now. It is a tough sell considering how different it is from the others and all the competition it has. The other Halo games practically had an open year when they launched. They had nothing to compete with on the Xbox. Reach has to deal with New Vegas, Black Ops, Medal of Honor and several other games. Its just a bad time to launch.

It seems as though Reach will stick with veteran Halo fans, but generaly failed to bring in a whole lot of new fans(Could be dead wrong, haven't really followed Reach's stats). From my point of view, Call of Duty has replaced Halo as the big Loved/Hated behemoth of a franchise. Rightfully so in my opinion...

 

[Eclectic Dreck]

Reach drew me into multiplayer for a brief period. I'd still play it were it not for the fact that my wingman in the 2v2 arena has a terrible rage problem even though it's all but guaranteed we'll lose every other match. I eventually got sick of listening to him rage in my ear and I moved on to other games.

 

[Captain Pirate]

I am a big fan of the series, love Reach and am still playing it. Love it, great game.
Playing right now.

 

[Wadders]

I played the campaign, thought it was alright, played split-screen MP with mates for a few weeks, then went back to Bad Company 2 - where I shall remain till something better comes along.

 

[LandoCristo]

As I said to my X-box loving, Halo fanboy friends: "Halo Reach is like Halo 3.5. You're not going to get what you expect when you finally get it."

Lo and behold, I was pretty much right.

 

[Knight Templar]

I never heard any hype, but most people I know are playing it. Or they've boosted to the top rank and become bored.

 

[De-Moti]

Love the game, hate the fanbase.

 

[ShadowsofHope]

I haven't had much time for gaming recently with schooling, but I still play it whenever possible. Halo in most of it's forms (Never even touched Halo Wars) just clicks for me, although it does get boring after awhile. Then again, all games eventually do, save the persistent world ones.

 

[AnAngryMoose]

I love Reach. Since New Vegas I've only been playing it either with friends or to complete challenges, but it still has a 50/50 split of my game time with New Vegas.

 

[danp164]

It was the same as ODST, another Halo 3 expansion trying to pretend its a game on its own.

 

[AnAngryMoose]

I'm still playing multiplayer, and will be for quite a while to come, however Halo Reach is not, nor will ever be, my exclusive multiplayer game. I'm just not a one game kind of guy, some days I want to shoot a guy in the head 5 times before he dies, and some days I just want to be able to hit him once in the dick to make him keel over. I'm looking forward to Black Ops, but that doesn't mean that I've forgotten about Reach.

I'm in the same position.

Unfortunately New Vegas is gathering a bit of dusk because I'm in the mood for something more fast-paced these days.

 

[GodsAndFishes]

I'd be playing more of it except its my final year at uni and have absolute arse-tonnes of work to do.

 

[JourneyThroughHell]

I'm still playing it, but I'm enjoying it less and less with every day. The campaign was pretty lackluster, and while I really liked the multiplayer portion, I find it pretty insufferable now when playing by myself.

It's camp-happy, it's hard to get into a decently balanced game and some of the weapons are frankly cheap. Maybe I just don't like the whole "fight for the power weapon" gameplay, but I did enjoy Reach beforehand.

However, the most frequently chosen maps are pretty bad, and the good ones never get picked.

 

[EightGaugeHippo]

If I have lernt one thing about Halo games over the past 10 years of playing them, then its this, they have a huge life span and tend to go in and out of fasion during their time.

When people finsih Fallout/Fable 3 the might stick halo in their xbox and get hooked all over again.

Black ops is a little different since COD is one of the only games that truely competes with Halo in terms of Multiplayer.

What im saying is new games will come out, people will play them for 3 weeks or whatever, then move back to Halo. Thats how all Halo Games play out.

 

[repeating integers]

I still play it whenever I get the chance. I can't get enough of the campaign, I just love it - as with all the Halo games I've played, the combat never gets old for me, probably because the levels are less linear than many shooter games (or rather, the combat situations are).

I also dip into multiplayer from time to time. It's most fun with friends, of course. The only feature of Reach I haven't played extensively is Forge World, and that's because I have a creativity deficit and just like the other features too much .

So, yeah. Pay no attention to the haters, the elitist PC gamers or the disloyal guys who just move on to the next big thing when it comes out. Halo is still great and fun.

 

[SalamanderJoe]

If I still had my 360 I'd be on it with me chums. Now I have a PS3 I've got some single player goodness to do. (God of War Collection, Just Cause 2, both Uncharted games)

I don't miss it, but I wouldn't say no to a couple of split-screen games on it.
