Certainly not. Then again, I don't own an Xbox 360 nor do I have money to waste on things as stupid as video games....If I had both of those things, I probably would.

Shuma, care to actually reply to my full post, rather than skip around it instead?

I don't really have any comment on your general opinons concerning New Vegas or Black ops except to say that Treyarchs games are generally inferior to infinity wards and that black ops looks to use the same MW engine which is looking a tad bit dated at this point in my opinion. I loved MW2 but I hated world at war. I'll wait to see if treyarch can actually make a good game with the modern warfare liscence or if they'll just make another gakky treyarch game with the name another studio made the best in the industry. New Vegas looks neat and I'll be getting it but without an engine overhaul the game is starting to look very, very dated and the game itself is as admitted by the company basically just a massive expansion/content pack using old assets in new ways. Reach by comparison is a new engine, the same team, twice the development time of the other two games, and a much greater emphasis on bringing the game into a more serious and adult atmosphere (rather than black ops exploding racecar party and new vegas' casinos and mutat humor).

I'm really just excited about civilization five at this point. Reach will be a replacement for MW2 (which i dont let myself play anymore).

This thread doesn't exist for anything but to create a group that dislikes or doesn't care about halo. As Reach is the big game coming out this week it would follow that the concept and intent of this thread is to counter it by going against popular norms. Original intent is sadly irrelevant, this threads edged into hatefest territory and was there before i arrived.

They are very different games. MW2 tracks K/D ratios across all forms of play, reach does not. That is a problem as I start to play the game to up the number, not to have fun. Keeping a 2.0 KD at 30 thousand kills becomes taxing, especially when I want to up the number. I've been on teams that won and I've had a K/D of 3-1 and I've still been pissed off at myself for not doing better. For not doing 5-1 or 10-1. Reach on the other hand I can play with friends to have fun, to go for objectives, and to drive around in goofy vehicles like an idiot hitting the horn. It also helps that Halo is a much better "competitive" game with far less random elements and a much greater emphasis on player skill rather then gameplay exploits.

It's much less stressful.

Halo? What's halo?

I won't be getting Reach, cause I don't have an XBox. But if my buddy picks it up or rents it,
I shall begin stocking up on tooth picks for me eyes...

Youl have countless people joinin you most likely.

And you tried telling me this wasn't just a hate thread.

Yes you are... go sit in the corner over there ---------------------->

did i incite hatred in my last comment?? no i didnt, i said that as a joke...

If i wnated to incite hatred I would have said something like "Yea well takes those tooth picks and scratch the hell out of the game thats how it is" or some comment along those lines.

Already was super excited for starcraft 2. Not going to be that excited ever again. I literally became a school girl with the hype for SC2.

Can't speak for star craft II (which from what I hear is pretty awesome), but AvP3 sucked a fat one, as far as gameplay goes. It looked pretty but that was it. I still play AvPgold and AvP2, but I coudn't even be bothered finishing the single player campaigns in AvP3, and after a week and a half I was totally over MP as well.

I don't hate Halo, but I don't like it enough to purchase it. Co-Op is the best thing about Halo so I can just play it with my friends who are buying it.

I'm not getting Halo Reach because I don't have an Xbox and Microsoft is too much of a butthole to realize the huge cash cow they are missing by not adding Reach to PC.
Just saying.

Your not the only one I am getting CIV 5 and Fallout New Vegas for PC.

CIV 5 whats that?? havnt heard anythin about it tbh.

I'm not getting halo reach for the following reasons:
- Xbox 360 dies to much (I'm on my 4th one at home, 5th one at work. Yes thats 7 dead out of 9 so far.)
- Canceled my MS live account. I'm not paying to play my games that I already bought, anymore.
- It's a console shooter.
- Medal of Honour is just around the corner.

I agree with you there. Only Microsoft could think of doing such bs as to charge for online gaming.

Civilization V - latest in the series from Sid Meier. As the title suggests...it's a game about the rise of Civilization. You begin with a single settler, and gradually build cities and improvements to make a civilization. It's also freaking addictive.

Back on topic, though, I'm not getting Reach either. I enjoyed Halo, but about 1/4 of the way through Halo 2, I realized that it was just Halo all over again. Besides, all my money is tied up for the next couple months...Metroid: Other M, Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep, Victims of the Modern Age, Cataclysm...add all that to my potentially starting an Ork army in the near future, and a title that I wasn't too interested in in the first place takes very low priority

They bearly have put anything new into the games. And the story isn'very spectacualer either. What could be possibly diffrent about this 1.

Ironically, there is a bunch of new stuff in Reach which is strange since it's a prequel.
That said it will probably be a rental for me. If it manages to make me fall in love with it I probably still won't buy it new.

OP: You are not the only one. I have no care for Halo. Played 2, tried 3. Sold them both. I'm playing the crap out of Borderlands and can't wait for New Vegas. Pre-Ordered the collectors ed. Hee... Can't wait!

Halo 2 was the only game I ever pre-ordered from Gamestop. Within a week there were used copies available for purchase.

Halo 3 was fun. But not fun enough to not sell my Xbox 360 before the red ring of death and get a PS3 instead.

Fallout here I come. Halo can wait.

I was going to get it but then I couldn't resist the urge and bought a land raider instead.


LOL take that for a closed beta!

I am however, at all costs, totally getting Call of Duty: Black Ops.

Oh, for me, MW2 is just about having fun. I don't give a sh-t about K/D.
And, iirc, Halo told you your K/D at the end of each game so.....?
