Halo Reach should have Spartan II's instead of III's. Spartan III's are cannon fodder.
[QUOTE=MAspiderface;20200730]OP is 12 and thinks halo is the shit[/QUOTE] I LOVE hiding under stairways with akimbo 1887s or using triple burst weapons and using noob tubes and running around with a care package out so I can run 2X as fast to knife people! :D Modern Warfare 2 is the best game ever of all time nomatterwhatanyonethinksbecause I. AM. DOUCHEY MC DOUCHINGTON. I just got pushed to the limit if you couldn't tell. Halo IS "the shit". It was "the shit" from the beginning! It took Call of Duty [highlight]!!!4!!![/highlight] games to be enjoyable, up until you get the weapons you want! GRRRAAAAAAGGGGHHHH! FACEHUGGER SMASH! Halo Reach looks absolutely awesome. Tons of new stuff, better looking stuff, etc. Oh, did I mention you can fly the Falcon (the love child of the hornet and the pelican) in MULTIPLAYER as well as campaign? That alone proves how much bigger multiplayer is. Also, :v: :respek: :byodood: more player customization! I know I'm going to get a ban for my little "flame on" there, but seriously people, if you don't like a series, don't bash it. You're as bad as racists and homophobes.

In fact, Jorge is a SPARTAN II. Other MK 5 S-II's appear as well.
and they now they cant be cannon fodder because they are in a halo game hell read ghosts of onyx if you think spartan 3's suck
[QUOTE=kevn150;20205339]I mean, they RE-did the engine.[/QUOTE] False. They MADE a new one. They always (with acceptable exception of ODST because it's an expansion) make a new engine for their games. That's why they look so new with each release. [editline]02:45PM[/editline] [QUOTE=texanderson;20205730]:respek:[/QUOTE] S-III's are cheaper to produce, not cannon fodder. ARMY are cannon fodder. lol
This is my opinion of the franchise; Halo: Combat Evolved (Xbox and PC): pretty damn epic for its time, multiplayer was great on PC. Halo 2 (Xbox and PC): great multiplayer, awesome maps, ok story. Halo 3: awesome multiplayer (despite all the little kids), slight better story that Halo 2, 4 player co-op was awesome. Halo Wars: :geno: Halo 3 ODST: ok story, only fun with 4 players in co-op, firefight was ok but needed more maps, look at Halo 3 for multiplayer. Halo REACH: looks really promising, only Halo game I ever got excited about, curious about the multiplayer.
ok im not much of a halo fan, but by bungie standards; the game looks amazing
[QUOTE=Makol;20205815] Halo: Combat Evolved (Xbox and PC): AGREE Halo 2 (Xbox and PC): Multiplayer got tiring sorta quick. Halo 3: Agree Halo Wars: <--NOT MADE BY BUNGIE. Joe Staten is disappointed with it and hasn't played it. What does that say about you, Ensemble? Halo 3 ODST: Agree Halo REACH:Somewhat agree[/QUOTE]
I only included Halo Wars in my list since it is part of the Halo franchise even though Bungie had nothing to do with it. [editline]11:53PM[/editline] Halo Reach's graphics are amazing, probably the best I've seen on the Xbox 360. [editline]11:54PM[/editline] plus Ensemble is gone, I miss Age of Empires :saddowns:
Hey look they finally added SPRINTING, something that's been missing from these super soldiers that can jump 7 feet in the air. The assassination animation needs to be fixed, it's too choppy.

It's funny how better it looks compared to Halo 3 on the same hardware. It's like we've gotten to the point where it's no longer next gen and last gen, just one gen. Of course, later games always look better than older games, but this one really makes it apparant. I was always a halo fan and while I liked Halo 2-3 (never tried ODST) they never did anything big, this game seems to really do something big, it's a big overhaul with alot of new stuff (check out that sprinting!)

[QUOTE=gbtygfvyg;20206422]They reworked the entire engine which allows them to put more polies in.[/QUOTE] I know, but everything looks so reamped. Melee system, better animation and sprinting.
If only it was for the PS3 :smith:
I like halo, dont get me wrong, but this just makes too much sense. Ok, they have gone off numbering the halo series now, but watch this: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzUGHXwHUmI[/media]
Halo PC was great, I'll get Reach for nostalgia.

My god after Halo 3 I really hadn't gotten my hopes up. Looking at Reach again makes me yell in rage that Shitrosoft refuses to make game consoles that aren't made of balsa wood and sand. I had a first generation 360 since it came out, and then one day it died. Bought a 360 elite, and it didn't last four months. What the flying fuck. I also have to figure out a way to get a hold of my old gamertag and a router in order to play the MP beta. The assassination kill looks really awesome, far better then Modern shitcrap 2's insta-knife bullshit. I just hope the marksman rifle has a decent rate of fire.

[/QUOTE] You must be really unlucky. Or buying used ones.. or ones in mexico or some other country that's not america or uk. My friend has never had to send his elite in for repairs or anything and he's had it... well, as long as elites have been available, I guess. I've had to send my plain white 360 in 3 times (first time because of magnet dust. Beware my friend's house.) 2nd time was because of the hard drive, 3rd time was because of melting plastic dripping on the chip. (finally they moved the part that heats up AWAY from the chip.) But, all of that has happened since the 360 came out. I won't complain because the 360 is superior, so far, to the p(of)s3 or the wiitard, in my opinion (better graphics, proven, more stuff possible, better controller, yadda yadda.) SIRE, RAISE THE SHIELDS! FLAMING POSTS INBOUND.
Halo: The most overrated piece of shit in gaming history.
Maybe i can get back into liking the franchise. Halo 3 MP was a big disappointment, ODST was fun to a point. Halo: Reach just looks plain badass.
This looks pretty awesome. I was disappointed when I first saw them making all the Spartans unique to appeal to 12 year olds but after I saw this video I think its for the better since its more "story driven" or so they say. And for for the record all my friends in real life and my brother who get RROD's lots take shit care of their 360's
[QUOTE=Dirty_Ape;20205677]Halo Reach should have Spartan II's instead of III's. Spartan III's are cannon fodder.[/QUOTE] It's a matter of story. All of the SPARTAN-II's besides John, Linda, and I think Liu are defending the MAC generators and get absolutely slaughtered. That woudn't make for a very good game.
O-V-E-R RATED!!! Halo has been over hyped since after Halo 2
Also the people saying "hurf it's halo 3 with different maps on same engine" got shot down I guess. It might be overrated, but that doesn't mean it's a bad game. I wish people could see that.
Halo 1: Great Halo 2: Great Halo 3: Single player is great Halo Wars: OK Halo ODST: Shit Halo Reach: Great
[QUOTE=The freeman;20201105]Call of Duty: 6 games in 7 years Halo: 6 games in 9 years. True its over rated but its not as bad as Call of Duty[/QUOTE] It used to be people got mad it theyt didnt realease a sequal or a nother game every year, now people complain about it,
