Ordered the limited edition last night as it looks fun, can't wait to play the game, so I'm afraid I'm not with you OP.

I should really get O.D.S.T at some point mind.

It's just another generic Halo game.... Bet it will be null when Black Ops comes out; it's how those Xbox players think

Of course it will. Blackops had better be at least as good as MW2x10

Fixed that for you.

The kinds of people who hop from game to game are always the ones shouting obscenities at the top of their lungs, quitting games early if they're losing, etc.

As for Reach being "generic"...
Not quite.
But how often do you see first person shooters that aren't relying on some kind of slo-mo shot gimmick?

Also: Black Ops will suck. Because Treyarch can't make a good game to save their life.

Lol, I am in no way saying that Black Ops or the CoD series will prevail in any positive way. I am saying that all of those junkies will just go on to the next 'in' game and will continue their faggotry for as long as rage exists...

I never liked them - they are just hyped up medocre firewarrior remakes (except you can move faster in FW!) with vehicles and MS' propaganda department.

I find it hard to believe you are ignorant enough to not realize that fire warrior was a halo 1 rip off or to believe that FW was a better game...

Boo halo

Most people don't seem to remember that Halo was released in 2001 and predates all the 'great' FPS games that came after it that everyone keeps saying aren't 'generic halo titles.'

I find it hard to believe anyone is ignorant enough to call Halo generic. You don't have to like it but it certainly isn't a generic FPS.

Agreed. I'm no Halo apologist but I find some people hate halo just because of all the hype around the games ignoring the fact that they are very well made games with a lot of time put into virtually every aspect. Is Halo perfect? No. but I'm convinced that anyone who says it's a bad game is either a hater or is expecting something they shouldn't from a shooter.
To show I'm not a fan boy I was really disappointed that the sprint ability wasn't a standard control. that was one of the thing most other shooters have that Halo doesn't. Which slows the action somewhat compared to Call of Duty games (which have their own flaws).

As far as my summary of reach;
I was planning to rent this game before I bought it because I was afraid that it was just kicking a dead horse. Then my room mate bought it so I tried it and after playing through I came to the conclusion that it was kicking a dead horse but with a really nice boot (and the horse had it coming).
