I'm kinda curious about it, as I, literally, haven't done it in about 5 years, but have gotten at least competent at using a mouse & kb by now. I used to be good, but I'm a little worried I'd suck now, and that's just no fun. |

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. |

Scorpions were on Halo 2. :wtf:
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. :D
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. |

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 :p |
