Where the fuck do you pay 90 for it? The most retailers are selling it for 75-80 on the mainland.

Damn, Halo Reach sucked ass. How did the people who made the first three Halos make this game?
If not for trading in some used games and store-credit, i'd pay 100€ for the Limited Edition here... Can't get it cheaper anywhere.
Franchise fatigue, i think.

I've always wondered if Bungie deliberately did it so their next big thing didn't have Halo to contend with.

Still think the campaign was oke and enjoyed it so money well spend more disappointed in multiplayer it became so boring really fast for a halo game especially when friends stop playing it.
Enjoy your campaign panoramas, you won't be able to do that in Halo 4 Campaign.
Drones sucked balls, but Skirmishers were okay in minor segments, or in their small packs.
Reach's story was probably one of the weaker ones, but it didn't hit the bottom of the commode like 3's did.
They didn't really hit the "Covenant invasion" in Halo 2 or Halo 3 quite well, either.
There's some fair points, but most of it is extreme exaggeration, which is no surprise. Each campaign, even the best one in Halo CE, had issues. Replay value is something I look at and linear levels, boring enemies (hello Brutes), or segments like some of Reach's on rail missions are the cause of it.

Team downer leading the charge.
Don't worry, I will eventually piss everyone off to the point where I couldn't be fucked posting for some time.
Theater is available for Halo 4 campaign, no?
Unless you're referring to yourself, what?
Halo4: slurp.

There's a few of use apparently.
I don't know, I really don't follow this place much.
AFAIK there's Team Slurp who are similar to waypoint users. i.e 343 can do no wrong.
And Team Downer who apparently don't like anything and throw salt everywhere.

How do you find that list? Always wondered but haven't figured it out yet.

I liked Halo Reach's campaign. Not as much as 3, but I think Reach is better than CE, 2 and ODST. Sure, there were no missions as good as The Ark or The Covenant but there sure as hell weren't any real bad missions and all the previous Halo games had those.
I also don't get why people complain about ''hit the button to end the mission''. Is that so much worse than walking up to something to end a mission?

team reach slurp here too. its a great, and flawed, game. gets entirely too much hate IMO. oh wells, i don't expect halo 4 to change the downer trend from (some of) halogaf.
Not to mention it seemed like the best of Bungie was off doing Destiny. No disrespect to Lehto and co. but I just didn't get the same level of enthusiasm, from the studio in general. You can't blame them ultimately, but I think ODST is the perfect example of how a small team with a small time window can still do something really cool if they are excited about it.
I like Reach, warts and all, but if there were a Halo game that could be completely redone it'd be that one for me in a heartbeat.

exodus.
Really? Gameplay wise I thought it was the best one.
I tried to use Theater with the campaign when I was on Halo 4, and that was not possible. It can only view Infinity clip. Maybe that was a bug or an error from the build, but I remember it was not possible to use Theater with Campaign.

If you were around in my exploits mid OT 9 I think it was, you would probably already think I am.

What? One of my favorite missions in the game...
I love the design of the city, there are some great encounters like the where you have to activate the AA-guns. Plus I love fighting alongside ODSTs.
If only they'd stop killing themselves with the jetpacks
Overall, the main thing I don't like about Reach's campaign is the fact that the same story could've been told without retconning the books. The missions would need to have a different order but the story would be largely the same.
Did a whole lot better than Reach.
In Halo 2 you saw a small fleet attack Earth and a Carrier breaching defenses to land in New Mombasa.
You land on Outskirts and the old city is ravaged and occupied. I will admit the Halo 2 E3 Demo that never was conveyed the invasion a LOOOOT better, but Outskirts/Metropolis were pretty good.
In Halo 3 you just got the feeling that Earth is thoroughly invaded. Humanity is a resistance force at this point.
ODST gave a really good vibe for covenant occupation.
As far as Exodus goes, Level design was good. Brutes ruined it.

Amen. To me the worst part is that they trashed Nylund's books but then brought him back to essentially smooth out the retcons to his own work.

On my first playthrough on solo Legendary none of those ODSTs died to enemy weapon fire... LOL
2 weeks ago at Microsoft France. And 2 days ago from a leaked version of the game, like a lot of players I guess. Hope I'm wrong, but I think I'm not.

I looked up my match history for each of the Halo games.
Halo 2 - 1169 matches
Halo 3 - 1019 matches
Reach - 273 matches
Wow. Quite a drop off there. Let's see what changed:
Halo 2 - Single in college
Halo 3 - Single in grad school
Reach - Married with a job...

For me, 2 of them always try to jetpack up a ledge with a little railing. When they bump into it, the fall to there death. Always, every time. No matter what I do

Well I am guessing at press events they lock out certain parts of the game. Oh, and about that leaked copy... I hear something coming.

I had around 1,000 in Halo 2 and I only got online a month before Halo 3.
7,000 in Halo 3 I think playing 6,750 of which on dial-up.
4,000 in Reach, 500 on dial-up and 3,500 on broadband.

No, prices were bumped up. I preordered it for 75, but now that same place is asking 99 for new preorders. Good thing I already paid in advance.

So about SpOps' netcode...
ahahahahaha. Man, I haven't even had my morning coffee yet, but looks like we're already on a roll today.
But you can mod your Spartan! Turning a corner and seeing covenant without so much as a second though was hilarious. Such bad hype. Oh there's a soldier pinned against a wall!

If it's anything like CEA.
Small seals will die.
All you need to do is give the clients .5 of a second. That's it. .5 of a second lead on the game so there is no silly input delays.
Be sure to not burn yourself with your coffee.

Pardon mua for asking, but did we ever learn anything more about join in progress, like whether or not there's a point in the match where its disabled? I don't think I'm alone when I say I don't want to join/people joining a game that's almost finished.

It's like they read off a check-list of Halo campaign cliches and threw them in
here's the storm the beach section
here's the scorpion tank rampage section
here's the defend the base section
Push this button here, get to that point noble
