Halo: Reach

I can't believe there hasn't been a thread yet. This is a pretty high profile release, is it not?

(Let the record show I did search before making this by the way)


Anyway did anybody else preorder the game? I'm putting down $25 tomorrow and paying the rest at pick up for Limited Edition. My friend got the $150 Legendary Edition (lol families with disposable incomes) and for once I'm one-upping the son of a bitch because he ordered his online and has to wait for it in the mail on release day whereas I'm doing a midnight in-store pickup.

I've owned all the Halo games but I don't know jack shit about the campaign for this one. The selling point for me was Forge World. The rest I basically have faith in being good.

Pictured above: Holy. Fucking. Shit.

 

The game really looks kick-ass. My brother is getting the Limited Edition.
I wish Bungie should have been this creative (weapons, abilities, vehicles etc.) and done Halo 4 because half of the stuff in this game are gone in Halo.
Loving the look of the game, the engine this time around is awesome.

In the end, this game is fresh. So much has been improved, and so many things added.

 

I'm surprised by the lack of response to this thread. Has Halo diminished in relevance?

It seems like it's going to be a combination of all sorts of Halo features, like Forge from Halo 3, Firefight from ODST, and racing from Halo 1 on PC. This is going to be so awesome. Do you have a gamertag?

 

Soooo excited. Gonna be playing this and blasting my new A Thousand Suns CD.

 

We're all too busy playing that Starcraft II game. I don't know if it's high profile or not. Something like the best-selling RTS of all time or whatever.

Reach looks good though. If I'm not still playing SC2 and/or if WoW: Cataclysm doesn't come out this year (which it will), I might have time to play it.

Of course assuming I'm still not playing ME2 by then either.

 

I'd love to be consumed by SC2 myself. I'm originally a PC gamer but once the tech started getting too expensive to keep up and money started getting tight I said "Fuck it, let's do Xbox for a while". I also kind of figured Starcraft 2 and Halo Reach would have a (mostly) separate audience.

 

Got Xbox Live until around Christmas - BRE4K MY FALL.

I have also been consumed by SCII.

 

The game looks amazing, I probably won't get it though because I get addicted wayyyyy to easily.

 

Thats why you get it.

 

Is it September 14th yet??

 

New live-action trailer.

Shit, you're right. Found the videos of the ending and everything, gonna stop myself from watching though.

 

Let me guess, the planet blows up or something? Hard to spoil a prequel. I'd hate to have story/gameplay details over exposed though.

 

It's almost time, people.

I will be playing it, not multiplayer though. Halo's online community is full or self righteous little kids who think their gods. But I love Halo's story. I was stuck in SCII but broke free via watching vids of COD7, which then made me start playing MW2 again. I also still play WoW, have so many dailies to do on there.

 

Disconnect mic or play in a party, problem solved. Also if I can still hear them I instantly mute anybody who sounds like a kid. They don't even need to be annoying, I just literally don't give a shit about anything they could potentially have to say.

 

If only this was on PC...

 

Picking it up tomorrow. This game is going to be fucking sweet.
Its also funny what you said Adam, can't spoil a prequel.

 

I remember original Halo being miles better on PC.
