Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Halo, finally here
It's about time Halo revisited its roots! I'm talking about Halo CE!! The massively open environments, and epic story telling. This time around the models were created with 4x the amount of polygons, which means the graphical improvements are 4x as detailed as Halo 3. Halo CE had much more interactive story telling and the style is back in Halo Reach. I've seen the campaign video play throughs and the story development really gets the player involved this time around. The multiplayer is bound to be loads of fun. While I'm still not sure on how it compares to a game such as MW2 it will definately cater to the people that want to create their own levels, play by their own rules, and have their own kind of fun. Personally I've made loads of friends through Forge on Halo 3 and seen incredibly made levels from other players. I played the Beta and Multiplayer isn't based off of technicalities like MW2s setup but it shines in a different light. You just can't compare the two games! Also this is not the end of the Halo games. Bungie has given rights to another organization.
