Halo

[Nightmare Asylum]

Can not wait for Tuesday! I'm spending my day antisocially playing continuously until I beat it! (OK, I'll take a small break for a slice of pizza or a sandwich )

[TJ Doc]

Make it last! Two missions a day, as I always say.

That  rhymes!

[Nightmare Asylum]

I can't allow myself to do that. The only video games I play now are Halo (and occasionally L4D), so when I get the next Halo game, I like to play through like it's a movie. Then I have fun and play through with my friends. Man, I loved the past 5 games. Can't wait for this one!

A mission ----> Multiplayer -------> A few missions more ------> Multiplayer ------>A few missions more.

[Nightmare Asylum]

For me, story is the most important feature. Anything else on the disc is an added bonus. Not just with Halo, but any game I buy.

Fine. Just remember to pee every few hours. I'd hate for your bladder to explode during the climax.

A mission ----> Multiplayer -------> A few missions more ------> Multiplayer ------>A few missions more.

Ah yes, another good system. A healthy degree of balance, with bladder control being the only drawback once again.

So is there online matchmaking for Firefight and Campaign in Reach?

Yes for both.

Ahh, thank you very much for that information! Now I will be able to enjoy the game 100%!

Halo's strengths lie in its story and storytelling rather than the inherent action.

Joseph Staten admitted ON CAMERA they pulled 2 and 3 literally out of their asses at the last minute, and most of the budget for three went to multiplayer, which shows in spades.

You must suck at listening, because the interview came with the game.

oxm interview, legendary viddoc

[DoomRulz]

I'm going to finish the campaign then go online. One thing at a time.

[Nightmare Asylum]

I know I'm getting ahead of myself, but with all this Reach excitement, i wonder what direction 343 will be taking the franchise in...

[Xenomrph]

So is there online matchmaking for Firefight and Campaign in Reach?

Yes for both.

Holy f**k, praise jesus.

For clarity, I'm talking about being able to sort out a random game with random people, like how you can do Horde mode or Campaign in Gears of War with random pubbies, or like how you can play AvP2010's Survival mode with random people and not just your friends.

Halo Reach will have that for co-op Campaign and Firefight?

Then their assholes must've been lined with gold, because just about every fan of the story loved both of them.

The Gametrailers review disturbed me. Not because of the final score, but for the reasons they were taking points away from it.. Forge almost not necessary? *FACEPALM* The Focus Rifle overpowered? Are you kidding me?
There were other things, but that just stood out for me the most.

The IGN reviews were awesome.

I'm gonna take some pictures of the statue on Wednesday (c'mon.. you think I'm gonna be posting on Tuesday?), and requests?
