Halo: Reach impression

To be truthfully honest, I thought it was okay. The space combat was interesting though, but man I felt like the firefight was too unbalanced. I mean 4 spartans vs like 1 Elite and then 2 Elites? Come on Bungie, throw in some grunts and skirmishers. Hopefully on Legendary, there will be more enemies to fight because their engine is supposed to be able to make the battles more intense and bigger.

Now for some not related news: I was also interested in Gears 3 and it looks awesome. The Berserker looks amazing, although I f**king hated her in the first game. I find it quite weird that the new Lancer has recoil now...

The Lancer always had recoil, it will just have...more..

True, true. The crosshair is what I meant or I dunno spreading out the crosshair does mean recoil, but I know it means it makes the weapons more inaccurate.

It was fucking awesome.

First of all,it was pretty damn action packed.Look in the sky.You fight I think 3 elites,5 jackals,A few grunts and a ghost.And thats only for the first part.How many enemy's do you evne want in a 2 min demo?Dont expect the entire game to be in it...

Space combat was epic.Flying the Sabre looks so cool.Not to mention the space battle was action packed.You even see a UNSC Cruiser attacking a Covenant Corvette

Yeah. I think that is kind of stupid.

I will agree you on the sky is nice for the background, but that deosn't make the game action-packed for me. Also you fight like 3 elites and then you have a little break and then you fight those 5 jackals + grunts. I was hoping for more like 3 elites already with 5 or more grunts + 6 skirmishers all in one battle and after that reinforcement: 6 elites from the sky and then you fight those 5 fight jacks + grunts. I would probably add more Elites like 5 Elites with 12 Grunts or something. The sky battle looks nice, but they didn't show too much of it, but I'm sure it'll be awesome. Anyways, it's only a partial of the game and Bungie could probably add more when I play it on Legendary since Legendary usually does change the gameplay a bit.

the lack of elites was perhaps part of the demo so they dont die

Dude,the guy was 1 health bar away from dying fighting the enemies he did......

But even when you enter the base,you see troopers running towards the entrance.Hell,you even seen a marine get trown against a wall,but then you awesomely assasinate the elite who did it.

Point is,its only a short demo.

It's stupid to judge the game on a short 5 minute demo. If Bungie says that they will put 20 AI against 4 Spartans, they obviously have the tech to support it and will definitely put it in there.

Yeah, I know it's a demo, but man I've been waiting for this so I was hoping for Bungie to give us something big. Oh well, atleast the space battle was surprising enough.

i wanna do 39 elites on 1 spartan LOL that would be the best evarrrrrr

did you hear halo reach has firefight and you can customise waves and skulls shhhh dont tell anyone its a secret
