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.

History leading to the Original Halo

This is one of the must play games of the Halo franchise. This game leads up to the events of Halo Combat Evolved. You heard the history of Reach, now live it thru the eyes of those who lived it, and see the effort it took to get Cortana off Reach.
This is one of the backwards compatible titles for X Box 1, however it plays MUCH better on 360, latency on Xbox one is very noticeable and makes it frustrating to play via Xbox 1.

This is a very fun game, but if you're not careful you can spend an entire night playing it without even realizing it! I know it's rated "M" for mature, but I really don't understand why they have to have vulgar language in a video game.

Halo: Reach is a mandatory game for any fan of Halo. Its story is the most dramatic and compelling Halo narrative ever delivered and the music and visuals are absolutely top notch.
While multiplayer is not looked upon fondly by the Halo community, the single player campaign is just too good to be missed.
Bonus: this game now be played on the Xbox One/Xbox One S through backwards compatibility.

Ive played all the Halo games; Halo CE, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo ODST, Halo Reach, Halo wars, Halo 4. out of all of them, my best game of Halo has to go to Halo reach. The Story line is so dramatic and moving... you become a true member of Noble Team. as you fight endless hordes of Covenant, in the defense of Planet Reach and overall, The defense of earth. If you love great games and great story lines... play halo reach.

I have played every Halo game there is and even though most critics did not think so, I believe this is the best Halo game that was made. The amount of customization that the game offers is impressive and really took a hit with Halo 4. There is an in depth story to the game and multiplayer is a lot of fun. However, multiplayer can be a little touchy and there are the usual cheaters out there that ruin some of the fun.

this is a continuation of an epic storyline. One which continues to provide awesome playability, time, and investment in your skill level. Continue to be patient and seek out those hidden treasures that the game contains to enhance your character and the ability for you to enjoy the realm of Halo more. This truly is a halo of epic proportions
