Halo: Reach

^ Lol, since WHEN was Call of Duty "methodical and strategy based"??? I'm not saying your complaints about Halo aren't somewhat true, but to ignore the twitch and cheese fest that is COD is almost ludicrous. If you want to argue that from a multiplayer standpoint, then feel free to use BC2, but COD?? Seriously man, you HAVE to be kidding.

I'm not going to get into this debate. I've been down this road on OS with Halo 2 and 3.

But exactly why did you buy the game then? I can't fathom anybody wouldn't know what to expect from Halo multiplayer going in.

Can't wait to get the Halo Reach Xbox 360.

Dont recall using CoD or BC2 in name on that last post, matter of fact, neither game was mentioned at all.

"I dont see how I didnt answer his question, he asked about differences and I clearly laid them out.

One game is methodical and strategy based, one is run around hopping up and down.

One game doesnt require you to unload full entire clips into people, one does.

One game rewards the element of suprise, one is run n gun.

Seems like the question was answered from my point of view just fine. "

Matter of fact, I still dont see any game mentioned by name whatsoever.

As usual when some disagrees with the status quo, its like I attacked your mothers or something.

I didnt say the game sucked, didnt say this is the worst ever, didnt say OMGWTFLOLBBQ...simply stated that I didnt like it and moved on. I suggest you do the same.

And, again, when did you NOT mention exactly what games you were comparing Reach to?

So it is still the basic Halo multiplayer? I'm probably not picking it up because I end up just getting annoyed by all the whiny kids and whatnot, and I do feel the lack of strategy (I know there can be strategy, but even when I used to play Halo 1 with friends in person it was mostly just lone wolf running around killing guys, that type of gameplay has gotten old for me personally).

Probably best I skip this, especially since I felt Halo 3 was Halo 2.5 (expected more from a next gen version).

Does the campaign make it worth it? Halo 2 and 3 campaigns weren't that compelling to me (basically an afterthought cause the multiplayer was the focus), but the first Halo's was decent....

Just want to note that I'm not hating on Halo, I know I'm really weird in not having it click for me and I'm totally in the minority in my opinions on Halo 3 and ODST. Just trying to figure out if Bungie really made things better this time or if I just have to wait for their new IP for something fresh.

F-me, that's basically begging for a purchase cause I can sell to Gamestop for 40ish bucks (with edge and whatnot) probably when I'm bored...damn you Best Buy
