The "generic" arguement is stupid, its far from generic it set the standard for FPSs of the 21st century.
Most Sci-fi shooters are generic but Halo before all of those.
But yeah its fanbase has 70% of people who've never played 1 and 2 because "the graphics are bad" Bungie do all these things for them to expand the universe, but most dont care because they just care how big their E-penis is.
Most of them probably dont even know how it all started.
One guy though Halo: Reach was set before Master chief was born.
If anything, it's their precious modern warfare 2 that's generic.

I could only make it through the first page, that "Some1Awesome" guy is really retarded and can't spell worth shit.
Halo was an awesome FPS for the following reasons:
Made console FPS control bearable (I couldn't stand FPS on consoles before Halo, including Time Splitters and Bond).
Gave us large/detailed outdoor firefights.
Gave us vehicles that were fun to control/use.
Gave us fun AI to fight against (no one seems to value the AI of Halo much).
Gave us fun AI to fight with (I loved the marines!)
Made the player feel bad fucking ass (Remember the first time you threw a 'nade around a corner, then watched the grunts/jackals fly out from behind cover? Remember the time that Banshee was strafing you, and you held your ground despite your 1 bar of health, and right before you died, it exploded, the Elite flying out, and the Banshee itself crashing hard at your feet.)
Had a great story (I remember playing it when it came out, not knowing about the flood. Fucking creepy).
FUCKING COUCH CO-OP FPS!
Halo LAN Parties.
Cortana.
I just laugh at the people who hate on Halo. It's one of those things that tells you instantly that the person you're talking to is a douche.
"I like Halo."
"Halo sucks. It's for noobs and casuals."
"Douche."
I hope Reach has a Warthog run at the end.

i tried a bunch times to get the first banshee in halo to land on the ledge when i first played it
then i realized i couldn't get into a destroyed banshee
:suicide:
Anybody making predictions about the story? There doesn't really appear to be a main antagonist within the Covenant like past games. I guess they're going with the ODST route and having good protagonists but no real specific antagonist.
I predict that by the end Reach will be lost with few survivors.

Rocket Launchers with aimbot mechanics?

why would you want to use an aimbot while using a projectile

Yeah, the first one was soooo freaking epic.

There wasn't in Halo CE either. 343 maybe, but he wasn't that bad he was just trying to stop the flood. I'd rather the faceless legion of enemies considering the timeline, politics is for Halo 2.
Most of the Bnet forums are comparable to a zombie infested city, it's a lost cause, the only course of action is a good nuclear strike.
[QUOTE=P1X3L N1NJA;23871367]Yeah the novels are being revised to fit the new canon.

Might be new, dunno.
Spartans & Elites on same team confirmed. Also you can switch weapons with AI allies in Versus Firefight.
I never noticed this, but what's wrong with the H?
[img_thumb]http://www.webwallpapers.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/reachwallpaper.jpg[/img_thumb]
-snip-
It's the normal H from the Halo logo. That text is horribly aliased though.

I believe it's fake. Fonts don't match etc.
Yeah just found that out I feel pretty stupid XD.

Nah, they've just got a "sleeker" looking font for Reach. I'm not sure what to think of it, actually.
Also, recently Microsoft/Bungie/343i has decided to rape Halo's canon. Legends was enough of an atrocity...

I'd say 343 became the main antagonist, yes. To be an antagonist, you don't have to be evil, you just have to oppose the main character(s). Truth/Regret were the antagonists of 2, and then The Gravemind and Truth were the antagonists of 3, with 343 returning for a small antagonistic bit. It's pretty much Halo 3 ODST that has lacked an actual specific foe.
[editline]04:29PM[/editline]
Also, that frigate part looks fake. There's no way Noble Six could pilot an entire frigate by himself.
[QUOTE=ElectricSquid;23882021]Nah, they've just got a "sleeker" looking font for Reach. I'm not sure what to think of it, actually.[/QUOTE]
It doesn't match the font from the fighter sequences, I mean.
Yeah my bad it was fake I jumped to conclusions to quick.
Its not even that well faked.
Why'd you snip it? That's lame. I don't snip my embarrassing posts (not that I ever make any, I'm a perfect human being)
It looked pretty real, but yeah, there were a few bits that stuck out as fake. Also the entire sequence would be retarded. Bungie also already said that the Saber segment would be the only space-fighting segment in the game, so, that also rules any possibility of piloting something bigger out. Also, killing two battleships would be retarded, even if it did take 20 minutes on Heroic. The whole theme of Reach was how hopeless it was. I mean, even during the space fighting thing, you narrowly save a single UNSC ship and kill a small Covenant Corvette, and that's considered a huge victory. That just goes to show how hopeless it really is.
1) The fonts don't match.
2) If it was an event why would he have gotten kicked out for taking pictures?
3) How the fuck was he given access to the "private event"?
4) If he had his cell phone, why couldn't he have made a video? Or do all phones not have the ability to take videos?
5)If he wasn't allowed to take pictures, how did he take pictures and play at the same time without anyone noticing?

Because its seriously misleading.
Also its now been confirmed Falcon holds 3 in multiplayer, 5 in campaign, this makes me very sad.
Kinda like no transport 'Hog in Halo 3 multiplayer :(
