I like to play Halo Reach. My friend gave it to me for my b-day about 1 month ago, and I have been playing it ever since.
What do you guys think of Reach? If you don't like it then tell me which game you like more, if you do like it tell me why you like it.

I like it. I like it A LOT

just to sum it up, its fun multiplayer, and with forge mode and custom games, you have the potential to do soooooooooooooooo much with it, and I love any game that has armor customization and reach has some good customization

Yeah any game that has some RPG elements in it is my kind of game. I also like the armor abilities. It adds for a interesting twist off of Halo 3.

I like the multiplayer a lot.

The campaign is good but the Multiplayer is where it shines

Its a great game but I fell like its missing quite a bit in multiplayer. Im real mad that Bungie went away from the "leveling" system to the exp based system because now the game and your ranking has nothing to do with how good you are, it has to do with how much you play and earn exp. Halo 3 was the last truly competitive game for 360 with a true leveling up system and not a experiance based system where rank means nothing because anyone can achieve any rank do to how much they play.

Yeah I kind of agree with you

I don't own an Xbox 360 but I do like Online Slayer alot.

I enjoyed Halo: Reach, but I thought the campaign was too short, the Noble Team A.I. (not Auntie Dot, mind you) was really poor, and the way they completely "mishandled" Team Noble.

Yeah I would agree the campaign was too short, but I thought the plot was very rich

Yeah the campagin I agree was waaaaayyyy to short.
I can complete it in an afternoon and On heroic it took me 2 days because I am slow and i like finding the secrets and everything before i move on,

Multiplayer is alot of fun.
Lot of cool features lots of gametypes, awesome firefight mode. yeah i like it.

I'm not a huge fan of firefight. But when I can I try to go on.

Legendary took me 8 hours, just like all the other halo's I guess.

The plot wasn't the problem.

In here they flesh out the Team, how they interact, things I think would made the game richer.

I have been turned off of the multiplayer aspect of reach by the community from the other games. I don't like being screeched at by someone half my age every time they snipe me from across the level. Is the community any better for this one? Single player is alright though, I enjoy that a fair amount.

I've only played a smidgen of the campaign. But from what I've played I really liked it. But I might be biased because I'm a Halo fan in general. I need to actually get myself a copy of the game since I was only renting it. I haven't gotten around to purchasing it because I'm debating if I should go for stock edition or legendary. Also I'm thinking maybe I'll read some of the books first.

I guess it depends on the price, djphranq. As a Halo fan, I bought the Limited Edition and I liked the extras (Halsey's manual, some plastic cards, a patch, and a special something for you to download in Live, I think). It cost me 5 € more than the normal edition from Amazon.co.uk (so about 35/40€) but at the time I saw the Legendary for 50 bucks at the american Amazon.

Seeing how much Halo 2 Limited Ed. sell for today, I'd buy two.

$50 for Legendary? I think I know what i'm getting next paycheck.

Thats what I got.

Prices unfortunately have raised already, but Amazon sometimes has some surprising deals. If anyone wants a Reach console, don't buy it through amazon. 600 pounds vs 300 euro for a new one in PT.

Hahah wow, that is a big diffrence.

I might stock up on them

I just found a couple of "unreachable" spots in living dead.

This is fantastic game, i like it

Anywhere a survivor can get so can a zombie and getting cocky kills.

AWESOME SQUAD ASSEMBLE!



It is ok - would be nice if they did more with the new DLC content.

Its so intensely awesome its not even funny.

And that's exactly why Living Dead sucks in Reach, despite being amazing good fun in Halo 3......

I don't think they need to, though; with Forge and Custom games, there really isn't an excuse to not have something new to play.

I mean, just the other day I played iwth a buddy of mine who had it set up as Rockets, 300% Movement Speed, Infinite Ammo, 0Grav, and we were playing on a small map. Never before have I had such mindless fun.

Also, Halo Anniversary is coming with 7 Classic Maps for Halo Reach.

Yeah, I'd quite like it if the extra content I have paid for is actually used for something...

I also want to have official playlists and game and map types to be put up and cycled through... Forge is all well and good but why do I want to endlessly play on the same handful of official maps? Especially in Firefight.

Point Taken.
