"The main reason why this game was a disaster is because it is exactly the same as Halo 3 . Even tho firefight is cool and all it gets boring real fast. And dont even get me started on the graphics. Maybe bungie sould just stop making Halo Reach because from what i seen from halo odst everything will be the same again". After i bought it went home and beat it in 5 hours, played some firefight and match making then i returned it. And i put the return money to Call of duty modern warfare 2.

Halo 3 was ok at best, mostly kid stuff so the only good ratings it usually gets (and this one) are from kids or early teens. The firefights happen in streets that are so ridiculously dark even with the NVGs it's hard to navigate where you're going. Same enemies, the usual 3 stooges behavior...repetitive scenarios etc. There is hardly any progression in story so after playing for a few hours, I decided to just trade it with Uncharted 2 / Modern Warfare 2. I still have Halo 3 but will also probably put it on the trading list also.
What's great about it: Some new features.
What's not so great: Same engine, same game and no story.

Ok, if you are a HALO fan you must play this videogame, although this is not a buy. It's a RENT. I personally thought the campain was boring, but at least it was new. They only released a new weapon, I don't really remember what, but it looked like an SMG with a silencer. They put a scope on the magnum...yay (HALO CE pistol is waaaayy better). You can't go "RAMBO" anymore because you must constantly find cover, which is very annoying. I understand, I know, you're not a spartan in the videogame. I'm just glad that HALO:REACH is coming out in the fall and I hope that it'll be better than the previous HALO videogames.

I pre-ordered the game, and well for about 3 weeks it was awesome, but then after a month, NOBODY and I mean NOBODY ever played it again, but if you are DIEING for the Halo: Reach beta, you might as well get it if you have LIVE because the Halo: Reach beta is the best thing ever.
What's great about it: It was so fun
What's not so great: after a month nobody played it ever again, including me

Not my son's (7yr) first choice of games to play, but it keeps the kids entertained for a little bit on a rainy day. My nephew (12yr) could play all day if I let him (but I don't).

well first of all the story line was no good, i didn't feel like i was a ground trooper either. basically your master chief again in a different body. there is virtually no changes at all to things like the aliens weapons or anything, in fact there are less weapons. the game was nothing like what i expected it to be. I expected to experience different gameplay than the other halo games, but its just a bad version of halo 3 and your some random trooper. Also the story line takes only a couple hours to beat on the hardest difficulty. Very disapointing. havent played multiplayer yet, but after the campaign i dont really expect anything new. if i knew this before i wouldnt have bought this game cuz it sucked
