Halo: Reach

[Nash]

I've only played the campaign and only four levels in, but here are some random thoughts:

• The graphics are definitely better, but for whatever reason it doesn't look as sharp as Halo 3 and Halo: ODST. Maybe the muted colors is causing some sort of optical illusion. Or maybe I just need a new TV.

• I don't know why they bothered making Noble Six talk at all. He barely has any lines anyway. If he's supposed to give the player the feeling of being the character, then just have him not say anything, like how the Rookie was. If they wanted him to have a personality, then go all the way with it. This half-way route is lame.

• I hate that sprinting is an equipment ability. Every time I pick up an equipment, I forget that sprint got swapped out, so I try to run and end up using the equipment. At least there's no limit to equipment usage now.

• Why is the opening cinema considered as Mission 1? It was the same case in Halo 3 and Halo: ODST. What's the point? Just so they can say that have 10 missions in the game?

• Elites are kind of scary now. It freaks me out when they charge at you out of nowhere.

• The new weapons are pretty cool, and the old weapons have a nice feel to them.

• Catherine Halsey wasn't this bitchy in The Fall of Reach.

• I'll find out how the rest of the game is, but so far Halo: Combat Evolved still has the best campaign in the series, even with the Flood and the Library (I actually like fighting the Flood in general and like the Library mission).

I can't comment on Reach (haven't played it yet), but agree about the Library. I don't understand all the hate it receives.

So I got the 1,000,000 Firefight achievement & Killionaire achievement's in 1 game of Firefight. Over an hour on Corvette, invincibility , 300% damage, unlimited ammo, unlimited jetpacks, and a ton of explosions. It was awesome and a lot of fun. The one thing I would change is modifying the waves to have all Elites instead of Grunts & Jackals because of the amount of points they give you. If it was only Elites it would have taken half the amount of time.

Lets play some fucking MP.

Mmm, that was some good Halo. I might just have to get gold again earlier than i planned.

[dave is ok]

I'll be on in a bit

No Reach for me until the end of the month, but I did score a cheap copy of Halo 3. Anyone want to help me finish the campaign on legendary? Shit's impossible alone.

It's not impossible. I was able to do it. If you need help, though, just hit me up if you see me on Xbox Live.

I keep seeing "checkpoint...done" but get sent back to the beginning of the mission when I die. Or is there a mid-mission checkpoint or something? It's been a while since I played it, so I don't remember.

I propose that this Sunday we have a massive TNL reach-a-thon and get some 8v8 customs going. It'll be awesome plus you'll get to hear my retarded Aussie voice!
