Your first impressions after playing Reach

My first impressions is: EPIC!

Started a game of firefight and noticed:

Jackals are fast as hell.
Elites are freaking faster and almost impossible to kill.
Some grunts have super armor.
Brutes are underpowered.
Slight performance dip in the start of a life, but wears of after 2-3 seconds.
Armor parts costs a freaking fortune!

I have yet to play campaign, as I have promised to play it with a friend on legendary when he gets home from work (he got it yesterday, and swore not top play it before i had it).

It's very good. I'm really enjoying it!!!!!!!!!

i played at my friends house, its really like halo 3 imo and it doesnt feel fresh but its still really fun

Feels like ODST 2.0, or what ODST should have been.

very good game, and defiantly a buy.

I am going to pick it up right now. But I am saving Campaign for the weekend to do coop with a friend.

Its a difficult game. Quite frustrating at times. On another note, how do you stealth kill?

Sneak up behind, and hold the melee button.

OMFG this game SUCKS! lol jk, its fucking amazing. I jumped straight into MP then some firefight, and both are FUCKING AMAZING

On legendary, holy crap the Elites are like impossible to kill by yourself. You gotta have squad mates to help you out! I can't believe how brutal the Elites are, evertime I try to melee, he always seem to melee faster than me . Anyways, I'm enjoying the game, but I'm on Nightfall right now, and I still have yet to finish it (I'm liking the level so far.)

Finished the campaign last night and that final mission has to be the biggest bitch in any Halo game. Amazing game still.

I hate losing my armor ability when I die in the campaign, even though I re-spawn next to my ally.

The enemy AI is amazing. Fucking Elites are tough bastards.

Agreed

EPIC

I just finished the campaign on legendary, but one thing is niggling me..

The very last thing you do in the game, what happens if you succeed?

*spoilers*

You cant.It is like Firefight.There are unlimited waves of enemies incoming and you eventually will die.And when you do,the cutscene shows up

Firefight is a good way to end Halo Reach

Legendary is really brutal

I'm on mission 7 (the part where you need to activate two towers, then go to the building and activate something there).

Already killed both tanks, but there are so many brutes and stuff.

I'm on the third mission of the campaign. I like it so far. It's not a brilliant display of gaming craftsmanship, but it certainly is fun.

I'm up to the seventh mission now. I think I'm almost at the end. Definitely a fun game. Gets an 8.5/10 from me so far. I played a little Matchmaking, which was good fun. I also toured the Forge World, which was a lot smaller than I thought it would be. It's a real shame/

Anyways, so far I'd give this game an 8/10, possibly an 8.5/10. Well done, Bungie.

Smaller? Are you for real?
How big did you thiink it would be?

Hmmmm...when I die, this one bitch says to do one thing and she says that all the time when I die...stupid bitch.
Right now...Im pissed off....at Kat or whatever.

I really love the game. Best halo game i have played so far.

If there's one thing i hate its the ending. WHY??!!??

The ending was great I thought. See how long you survive. Brilliant.

Well the videos made it look massive, but I was really disappointed with the size. You see this massive area, but the invisible walls keep you out of a majority of it.
