It's like riding a bike.

I am looking forward to playing this game. I love the other ones so think this will be awesome

After spending a lot of time with this game, I really think Bungie hit the nail on the head.

Obviously, history has shown that you are either a Halo fan or you're not. But, Reach is so well done that I think it could even pull in some non-believers if they were to give it a real chance. It still feels like Halo, but it really has been tweaked and polished into a really solid shooter... and they totally nailed the fun-factor.

Mind you, I'm speaking about multiplayer. I haven't touched the campaign, yet.

The maps are very well designed, the guns are very well thought out, and the new armor abilities really add a cool element to the game (sprint ability really makes the game not feel so "Halo slow").

Anyhow, those are my thoughts on it so far. /fanboy

I'm giving it a shot.

I suck now, though. :/

There is almost no auto-aim anymore, which is taking some getting used to.

the only cool thing about this game is the big tank you get to drive. TANKS!

Scorpions were on Halo 2.

It's pretty funny to me that a bunch of these Multiplayer maps are just re-textured versions of Halo 2 maps. Ascension, Midship, Ivory Tower, + one of which I can't remember the name. People are bitching that they can't remember any of it, since they've played 2 other games since then.

Finally gotten back to being decent. Haven't run into cheating or griefing yet, which I find astonishing.

By the way--does all the armor actually do anything practical, or is it purely cosmetic?

Pretty sure the armor mods are just cosmetic.

I want that glass-looking helmet.

Had it for 4 days, not quite to warrant officer grade 1.

Thank goodness. The absence of the Halo 2 maps (which I still consider the best Halo game) were the downfall of the past two for me. Still won't buy this, but maybe I'll play at a friends
