Ifyou go to TRU this week, you can get a card for Halo Reach that gives $10 off any Xbox 360 game. This coupon can be used multiple times.

If you can find any clearance games for $10 or lower, you will receive them for -free-. I am going to raid the two stores nearby before work in about... an hour

this still going on?

Bungie gotta have the worst story tellers around with access to big budget. Such a major story, and they open a game with stupid shots that mean nothing, drop the player into an unknown planet, give no info on what we are doing here, why....

For fucks sakes.

G The Resurrected · « **Reply #487 on:** September 01, 2010, 10:17:47 AM »

Is it just me or do they make some of the best trailers around for the Halo games? They do their job they get you hyped up and are epic in nature. But then you play the game's and its a different story. I'm convinced now that Bungie is good at making trailers but not good games.

demi · « **Reply #488 on:** September 01, 2010, 10:20:08 AM »

Who says Bungie even makes the commercials

demi · « **Reply #489 on:** September 01, 2010, 10:22:14 AM »

btw... $25 GC for Reach @ TRU (rewards members)

G The Resurrected · « **Reply #490 on:** September 01, 2010, 10:27:26 AM »

Well whoever makes them

Damn TRU for having a better giftcard than amazon. Thats ok 69.99 legendary editions will keep me warm on the inside.

maxy · « **Reply #491 on:** September 01, 2010, 11:19:08 AM »

Bungie doesn't make trailers,MS does.

Someone from MS Germany complained about Bungie...apparently marketing team was working in the dark,storyline unknown,not allowed to play the game(Halo 3).

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #492 on:** September 01, 2010, 11:19:58 AM »

I've never thought their storytelling has been great but then its an action game. I barely pay attention to that part honestly.

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #493 on:** September 01, 2010, 11:35:14 AM »

Pretty sure Bungie had a hand in all the trailers. They definitely had a hand in this one.

WrikaWrek · « **Reply #494 on:** September 01, 2010, 12:41:29 PM »

Terrible framerate consistency, or maybe a side effect of the absolutely horrible motion blur technique applied where it makes it look like the characters are sort of sliding, huh

Bungie what the fuck

Third · « **Reply #495 on:** September 01, 2010, 12:54:48 PM »

WTF? The game looked great when I played it.
But I won't be getting a copy for myself because I got tired by it really fast. I just somehow can't play Halo's anymore since Halo 2 $:-\$

Heh, this game is actually pretty fucking great.

The combat is amazing, Bungie really owns it. The guns feel better than ever! Not bad !

To re-confirm

Game is awesome
Game is challenging...playing on heroic solo
Sometimes I'm like hmm...will i be able to pass this on legendary?...I will of course,but it won't be a walk in the park

Enemy is smart,agile,comes in large numbers and has no mercy.

Have fun.

There's no FPS out there with combat as good as this one. This is a very accomplished game from a combat gameplay standpoint, it actually becomes good to the point of being impressive. Not because of some scripted sequence, but because of some combat situation you got yourself into.

But man, this game is anti climatic so far from a story standpoint. Where's the Epic? Where's the story telling? Where's the sense of attachment? Where are the characters?

Terrible Bungie, just fucking terrible. This whole lets make a MP like SP needs to stop bungie, sometimes it feels like i'm fighting in MP maps against bots. Terrible story telling and presentation.

maxy · « **Reply #514 on:** September 05, 2010, 05:25:11 AM »

There is no melodrama here,that's for sure.This is a story about bunch of super-soldiers fighting a war that can't be won.You fight with them and that's how you know them,by fighting together...no bullshit talk,melodrama,etc...just pure combat

This game will have extremely good word of mouth and insane replayability.

Legendary is fun btw,and I kick ass.

Tieno · « **Reply #515 on:** September 05, 2010, 05:54:03 AM »

Game is good. On second level, in warthog, gave passenger a plasma grenade launcher! The sound and visual effects are pretty cool on that weapon!

I didn't know much about Reach going in, pretty fun discovering new weapons!

Come on man, don't wanna tell a story, make an MP only game.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #517 on:** September 05, 2010, 11:03:35 AM »

If it's an action based fps shooter, I don't care about story. All I care about is if the action has a nice ramp up and some diversity to break up the monotony a bit. I don't mind kicking Halo and its storytelling mainly because annoying Halo fans tend to cream all over that stuff but if the action is right, that's all I care about.

maxy · « **Reply #518 on:** September 05, 2010, 11:52:11 AM »

Reach story is in line with other Halo games.
That is all.

Tieno · « **Reply #519 on:** September 05, 2010, 02:24:56 PM »

Combat is so good, they keep adding shit to the cocktail and it just tastes better. I'm so glad we're back to fighting elites!

Elites

So far it does seem that the covenant is less talkative, especially grunts. The armor abilities are great too, especially the jet pack. The jet pack makes those rushing-with-sword elites a bit easier, if you've got the space.

Halo is my favorite FPS: it can scale like no other: from small cave fights to big epic outdoor, and everything in between.

The difference between Video Games and Movies is that a cohesive story isn't a secondary objective, in video games it is. When it's done successfully in games like Half-Life it's truly something to admire but this Halo, where the story serves as little more than a reason for you to go and shoot dudes. You said it yourself, "There's no FPS out there with combat as good as this one." so what the fuck is the issue?

I really don't understand why people expect a great story from games like Halo? Would it be nice to have one? Sure, but I'm not going to get upset or be disappointed as long as the game is fun to play.

The fuck is the issue? Purpose. Thrill of killing NPCs dies quick, that's why people play MP, because somehow it matters where bots don't.

Tieno · « **Reply #521 on:** September 05, 2010, 02:35:02 PM »

Story doesnt make fighting ai more fun, it can mask tedious gameplay and make you push through like a carrot at the end of a stick. Thats why the campaign in halo actually has replay value

The point is to make it meaningful. As it is, i'll just leave the game with the impression that it has amazing combat and nothing else, there's not gonna be anything else in this game that will make me remember it because i won't be playing MP.

The campaign may indeed turn out to be a disappointment for me but I remember WrikaWrek saying how badass the Bad company 2 campaign was. So we may have different ideas on what makes up a good sp.

demi · « **Reply #527 on:** September 05, 2010, 08:17:25 PM »

Wrika doesnt know what Wrika likes. He is just making posts since he gets to play the game early, to get a rise out of people.

I dare you to find me a game Wrika has actually liked recently.

I don't restrict myself just to EB opinions. Some of the xfags over at OA were complaining about the shitty story and how Bungie didn't go out with a bang. They actually feel kinda neglected.
The jtag version of the game has been released almost three weeks ago. There are a lot of impressions on the net, ranging from suiciding xfags like Wrika who are disappointed by the game, to bitter sfags like myself who actually like it.

I liked it because it looked polished and it played very well. But I didn't play it from start to finish. After playing the game for 3-4 hours I stopped because I can't play fps game anymore. They bore me to death.

But I'm sure that the MP will be awesome. As usual.

Based on just those 2 videos, MW2's MP atmosphere, intensity, and 60fps shits all over it in my humble opinion. But it's the guy who plays alot of Madden so take that for it's worth.
