I've been looking forward to Reach for awhile and I'm amazed because there's always something to do in there. No matter what mood I may be in, I could go into Reach and find something to do. If I'm in the mood to own people in competitive multiplayer (or get owned), there's MM. If I just want to fool around with my buddies and fight Covies I've got Firefight. If I'm in the mood to be creative I'll play around in Forge World and maybe figure out how to make awesome maps. If I'm completely lazy I can just turn on Theater and watch my older matches to see how I can improve my technique or come up with cool screenshots.
I'm not going to lie and say I'm pro at Halo 3. I'm not, I just don't dedicate enough time to it. I don't find it particularly that interesting, I'm pretty good at Lone Wolves when I want to be. I'm more of a Team oriented person though, and so to have all my buddies be playing something else, not to mention how stale Halo 3 can get killed the experience for me after about a month of release. I am really hoping Reach has the hook to keep me coming back for more like say L4D2 does for me, I'm more of a co-op guy, and I love the idea of Firefight VS. It reminds me of VS mode for L4D2 and I've always had a guilty pleasure spot for that mode.
I really am excited for Reach and I'm going to the midnight launch for it, but one thing I'm curious about is someone mentioned there are already mods to max out credits for Reach? That seems a bit soon for things like that, though I admit part of me wishes I had the game so I could try it out and look over the entire armory to see what I'm going to invest in when and completely plan out my Spartan. Apologies for my lengthy post, I've had this pent up wanting to discuss Halo: Reach and I got here off a NeoGaf thread and they still haven't approved me yet, so I've had virtually no forum to discuss this game at. My Reach hype is piqued and I'm actually going to spoil some of it for myself to get the hype meter down before I explode >_>
Also end note, I love Breaking Benjamin so I thumbed up that leak video just for having Lights Out on it. XD

Belongs in the Leak thread, but this music is epic.

I'm debating on whether I should watch it or not...cause I do want to keep some of it as a surprise...

Nothing about is surprising and there are no spoilers in it.

Damn...that was awesome! The music is amazing, the armors look beautiful. Although, I'm somewhat disappointed that we don't have more visor colour choices...

I kinda zoned out watching that, and then I saw the Gungnir helmet. God damn is that hot.

Gungir is so weird, but I love it! I wonder where in the world they came up with that? And Security is back! Hell yeah!

I'm liking the Recon. It still looks pretty beast actually. I mean Scout looks like Recon with a slightly different helmet and some attachments so that one isn't bad either. I also am digging the new Mark V & Mark VI. Too bad he didn't go into the Mark VI to see what parts could be attached there. I wish there was a red visor, but since there isn't I suppose I'll just use blue. 50,000 cR doesn't look like it will take long. Full Campaign clear is like 25k I believe. Maybe more.
