    This Halo game was really good. Halo Reach campaign pretty much can't get any better, I mean sure it was a retcon, but both the book explanation and the game explanation can both be excepted.

Multiplayer is a bit of a different story. Bloom in Halo Reach is quite bad, and it is pretty hard to hit anything when shooting at what is seemingly a normal rate of fire. Another quite problamatic issue, is just how annoying armor lock is. Armor lock is one of the worst abilities ever put into a Halo game. It simply stops the fun of trying to kill eachother by making me wait like 10 seconds, and is so overpowered, that being shot by a scorpion, wraith, or rammed by any vehicle basically does absolutely no damage. Otherwise, being able to play as an elite is amazing, customization is basically perfect, progression is pretty good, but may take a little bit to get stuff, Firefight in this game is also very well done, and in fact, you can play as an elite going against the spartans in firefight, which is pretty cool. Forge mode was a lot of fun, and you could do a lot of stuff, and was great in making forge a fundamental stepping stone, especially with media share. Overall, this game truly was the last Bungie game.… Expand

    One of the best stories on war a video game has ever told. The cinematography in this game put most movies to shame. The focus on armor abilities is an interesting shake up, and while slowing down the pace of the game, is an overall fun change that sets Reach apart from Bungie's previous games.

    Halo reach possuí uma gameplay ótima, uma história inesquecível, personagens cativantes e um mapa fenomenal e super dinâmico, fora o multiplayer super criativo e divertido, vale muito a pena ser jogado e marca o fim da era bungie no Halo.

    Not only does this game deliver a stellar multiplayer experience, but one of the greatest campaigns in FPS history. An incredible send off for Bungie.

    It's not that good. Some enemies are really brainless and the playability feels a little bit outdated, even for his time.

    Halo Reach é o jogo mais perfeito de Halo, foi o primeiro que eu joguei, apesar de não entender tudo, mas foi uma experiência tão incrível, e uma história tão cativante, um universo tão vivo... é pra mim o melhor jogo de Halo contando todos os jogos, simplesmente perfeito

    Another spin off using the Halo 3 engine, This time you join a team of proto-Spartans investigating an incursion into an Earth colony by a hostile alien force. There are a few tweaks to the gameplay involving some new special abilities and weapons mainly it seems for the sake of the online experience.

There are a few tweaks to the gameplay involving some new special abilities and weapons mainly it seems for the sake of the online experience. This is also true of the format which revolves around you teaming up with an AI controlled partner throughout, which is my main problem with it; it's essentially a "fake multiplayer" game of the type that has proliferated since and as such hasn't got the satisfying single player story or variety of Halo 3 or even ODST. As such it's my least favourite Halo game, but by any other standard it's a beautiful looking and hugely enjoyable FPS.… Expand

    A superb halo game with an incredible contained campaign. It breaks from the formula in a lot of ways, both plot wise and mechanic wise. Plusses are the campaign, negatives are the introduction of sprinting and loadouts.

    Como um jogador dedicado da série Halo, Halo Reach sempre ocupou um lugar especial em meu coração. Considerado um prelúdio dos eventos do primeiro jogo, Halo Reach oferece uma experiência envolvente e emocionalmente impactante que se destaca dos demais jogos da franquia.

    A história de Halo Reach é uma das mais poderosas e trágicas da série. Os jogadores são transportados para o planeta    Como um jogador dedicado da série Halo, Halo Reach sempre ocupou um lugar especial em meu coração. Considerado um prelúdio dos eventos do primeiro jogo, Halo Reach oferece uma experiência envolvente e emocionalmente impactante que se destaca dos demais jogos da franquia.

    A história de Halo Reach é uma das mais poderosas e trágicas da série. Os jogadores são transportados para o planeta Reach, onde assumem o papel de Noble Six, um membro da equipe Spartan III. A narrativa se concentra na corajosa luta da equipe Noble contra as forças do Covenant, enquanto o planeta se torna o campo de batalha decisivo antes dos eventos de Halo: Combat Evolved. A história é intensa e cativante, com personagens memoráveis ​​e momentos de grande emoção. A Bungie conseguiu criar uma narrativa que ressoa profundamente com os jogadores, proporcionando uma experiência que vai além da mera ação.

    A jogabilidade de Halo Reach é refinada e desafiadora, mantendo a tradicional jogabilidade da série. Os controles são precisos e responsivos, oferecendo um combate em primeira pessoa gratificante. A variedade de armas, veículos e habilidades Spartan proporciona uma jogabilidade estratégica e diversificada. A adição do modo Forge, que permite aos jogadores criar e compartilhar seus próprios mapas e modos de jogo, adiciona uma camada adicional de longevidade e criatividade ao jogo.

    O design dos níveis em Halo Reach é impressionante, com cenários vastos e detalhados que capturam a atmosfera de um mundo em guerra. A diversidade dos ambientes, desde campos abertos até instalações subterrâneas, mantém a jogabilidade fresca e emocionante. A atenção aos detalhes é evidente em cada canto do jogo, desde a arquitetura alienígena até a paisagem destruída pela batalha.

    A trilha sonora de Halo Reach, composta por Martin O'Donnell e Michael Salvatori, é simplesmente excepcional. As músicas evocam uma mistura de melancolia, heroísmo e esperança, elevando a experiência emocional do jogo. Cada faixa musical é habilmente executada e se encaixa perfeitamente nas cenas de ação e nas sequências mais emocionantes.    … Expand

    Bungie's final "Halo" game is arguably the best one ever made. It may be a prequel to the original trilogy, but this installment also marked the beginning of the modern era.

    SO i just want to talk about the campaign wich is brilliant!!! The ending is one of the best in all video games. The gameplay very smooth and fun, i never get bored and it has some quick and exciting action. Sure, it is a must play and one of the best shooters too. Not the best halo though ;)

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    It leans more into sacrifice and horrors of a total warfare than any other Bungie game did. Some parts of this game are so intense, It reminds me of CoD: World at War. The overall atmosphere becomes depressing as it gets.

    Plus, the weapon designs are top notch. There's no denying that. Master Chief Collection is worth it for this piece alone.

    Halo: Reach is not a breakthrough, yet it's a clear showcase of Bungie's creative growth. The game is hardly a "must buy" – its single-player campaign is way too short and uneven in quality, while multiplayer has very little room for expansion besides map packs and useless character decorations. But with that said, Reach is worthy of your attention for a couple of evenings.
