Halo: Reach Discussion

[=sw=warlord]

I thought the game would play out like the novel...with Chief and his team.

Instead Bungie feeds us these randoms with bullshit armor and weapons and expect us to eat it. At least most of their dumb fans will bite and it'll get huge sales regardless because it's Halo.

chief didnt even goto reach in the first battle for reach so...

...lawl.

Feel smug all you like, chief was in the orbital station and then left in autumn, he didnt land on reach until AFTER Halo.

So he wasn't involved in the Battle for Reach just because he wasn't groundside?

Go reread the book.

Taking a game too seriously is always fun. I'm sure the gameplay will be as fantastic as previous games regardless of story.

It's beside the point. I'm sure Bungie could make a game where the protagonist jerks off to Sonic the Hedgehog characters fun. It doesn't mean they can't be called out for catering to furries.

more like Halo: Reach Around

I'm just glad they got rid of the spam-happy Battle Rifle and replaced it with something that'll actually require the user to aim rather than spam shots at their target's head.

right, because everyone wants to read a book, play a game, and watch a movie that all follow the exact same plot. That sounds fantastic.

Its like there are good Halo fans that like originality, and then there are the others. The "Purists". But being a purist isn't bad, its being a stupid purist that is bad.

I am not insinuating you are either of these Apollo, so don't get upset.

E: Oh wait, I didn't read the second part of your post. You called the ones that take the changes and originality and give it a chance dumb?


Right, I forgot bawwww'ing anytime something different shows up makes you smart.

E: and I take back what I said. I AM insinuating that you are one of the stupid purists.

E: and that spartan has been shown around here before, maybe just not this thread.

so yeah, comepltely ignoring the fact you guys disregarded whats been confirmed by game informer with their hands on time with a demo, continue to argue...

no one wants to even bother talking about the "armor" loadout, thats been confirmed, which is like a single perk you can swap out, ex. SPARTAN sprint and arbiter style camo being two of the loadouts revealed in the demo

also, the health pack is returning so we can expect people to hunt those down ala halo 1 (was no fun in ODST seeing as how they were basically every where)

so yeah...
