Halo: REACH

Played it yet? The full version? I have, beat it this morning. I have mixed feelings about this game. It's cool that you customize your own spartan, and play as your custom spartan through the entire campaign. BUT, alot of the campaign stages are just pretty upped an upgraded versions of the VS stages in prior halo games.

The final stage(Lone Wolf) though, was fucking AWESOME, lol. They sum it up perfectly with your mission objective, SURVIVE! lol

I don't have an Xbox but my friend (who does) said he might get it. I guess I would play it if he got it. Idk why but I'm not into Halo that much. I don't see why ppl go nuts over it lol. Maybe it's me

Well, Halo has been on a massive downward spiral since pt.1, ODST was gawd awful, lol.

But thisn was pretty smooth. Also, I'm happy I got to beat it before it's release date, lol

How exactly did you get it b4 release? How long did it take to beat?

My friend has a leaked copy. It took about 6 hrs nonstop to beat the game, normal, on co-op.

The new BR is fucking awesome for killing the AI. lol

Lol is it any different? I always tried using that gun but sucked with it. I killed with a shotty tho lol.

Yea, the BR is single shot now, so ifya struggled with the old one, the new one is gonna be all akward, lol. There is a new needler rifle that's awesome, it's also single fire, but if ya pump enough rounds into an enemy, they explode.

I was never a fan of the Halo series, nothing about it seemed worth the hype people constantly gave it
but I am getting it cause a ton of my friends are getting it (which I'm not too happy about)

If you're not happy about getting it, then why get it? If your friends jumped off a cliff, would you? jk

@DG I like single shot guns more than burst and do well with them so I don't think I would have too much trouble...

yes, yes I would jump off a building (2 of my friends wanted to go skydiving so I went with them lol)

Yea, I like it better single shot, plus, I think it'll balance out the vs more since it's not quite the dominating force it once was.

Shotty is pretty much the same

Rockets can home in on air vehicles

Pistol can zoom again

AR is AR

Spartan lazor still lazors

Theres a grenade launcher for the humans

There was, oddly enough, a golf club weapon in vs, didn't use it tho

Sword an hammer seem the same

Theres a portable covenant AA gun

Needler Rifle (Removed carbine, which is fine)

Needler an plasma rifle feel the same

Sniper feels the same

Seems like they removed covenant sniper

only plasma an sticky nades

Equiptment has been swapped with "abilities"

Brutes are easy kills if your good at headshots

Abilities are:

Sprint - Modern Warfare type run.

Armor Lock - You kneel and glow blue, your invincible, but you can't move. (GAY)

Drop Shield - You drop a bubble shield.

Stealth - When activated, you run with 50% invisiblity, standing still is 100%, and any action reduces your invisibility, this may be overpowered if you can use it online.

Hologram - Sends a hologram of yourself to run over to werever you are pointing.

Abilities have infinite use, but you have a cooldown time between uses. If you die in campaign, it defaults your ability to run and you hafta find a new one ifya want it changed. In custom games, there is an option at the begining of a round to set your ability, which will be retained regardless of how many times you die.

finally got my hands on it...like I said I was never a Halo fan but I'm glad they put in a Horde Mode-esque game like they did in Gears, it def makes it more enjoyable for me

They actually added that in ODST first Mince, what's worse is you can cheat yourself ranks, achievments, and money in firefight mode. You simply change the spartan's health to infinate, and proceed to slaughter the stage at your leisure. You can customize your hordes to your likeing too. Hunters give your the best points though.

Not excited about it, but my cousin's nuts about Halo, so I'll end up playing it regularly.

whooo cheating! lol I knew they added it in ODST but none of my friends bought it so it didn't matter...either way, Gears is still far superior

I have no XBOX :<

Don't feel bad Leon, on the plus side you didn't spend good money on a broken system. I've had 2 break on me already, I'm gonna just buy a core system one of these days or something... bastard microsoft... lol

i want to get the new shiny xbox

You meen the one thats half the price, with twice the hard-drive space, as my crappy broken 600$ 360 Elite? lol

are there any xboxes that are not prone to RROD?

I got the red ring 3 years ago but that was it, just once

My 1st one RROD'd, my second one overheated. I know I can just ghetto fix my 2nd one, but I'm really just kinda fed up atm, lol

RROD is the one of the reasons why I didn't get a XBOX also the paying the online fee. Sorry I'm cheap

yea im cheap too
