    Halo Reach is an excellent way for Bungie to close off the franchise that they created.

Boasting a much more expanded upon Forge, much more fleshed out Firefight from ODST, massive and addictive multiplayer that is still pulsing proudly after all these years, a gripping and satisfying campaign that tells the prelude story before Combat Evolved begins, featuring a fresh new space combat level which was designed by Sage Merrill, the guy behind Crimson Skies on the Xbox. This game is so packed to the brim with content, it's amazing what Bungie has accomplished here. This game would get a legendary 10/10 score, if it were not for a few issues. First off, there is no Legendary ending. Why? Why break tradition if this is intended as a thank you to the fans? And to be honest, the character development wasn't that great. As the Noble Team started dying like flies, I found myself barely caring. And it was also a shame that Bungie didn't capitalize on the excellent new space combat controls by applying it to multiplayer, far improving the experience. Sadly, Bungie didn't want to annoy all the Halo fans by switching up the formula, because there are so many Halo fans, but I believe that taking that brave step would have been worth it. Overall, Halo Reach is a great game and a great way to end my favourite franchise. if you appreciate good games, pick up Halo Reach.… Expand

    Halo Reach breaks away from Master Chief and follows a team of Spartans that are ordered to protect the planet Reach against the Covenenant. You can play the campaign alone or co-op online.

You can play the campaign alone or co-op online. Then there’s matchmaking which includes a wealth of modes (one in which you can play as an Elite). You can choose which ability you want before respawning; a jetpack, a deployable shield, etc., which is new to Reach and improves every game mode. On top of this there’s a firefight mode that you can either play as a survival mode with limited everything or unlimited ammo with powerful weapons and 20 minutes to score big. There’s also a map-maker (forge) mode and theater mode. Your custom Spartan carries over all three modes, which you can buy new armor for with money you gain from playing (and from the addictive daily challenges). This game exceeds all previous Halos, in my opinon, and should be experienced by any shooter fan with an Xbox 360. I give it an 8.7.… Expand

    This game is great. The ability to create and be your own spartan is one of the best things to happen to the franchise. Campaign wise, the game has an amazing story and great graphics for its time on the 360. One of my favorite games of all time. The multiplayer as well was amazing, especially the living dead mode. Well made, and fun to play. Remember Reach.

    Was expecting more from this game. The lore that surrounded reach in previous games made me super excited to play this but the story was rather uneventful. The recoil was overdone but was a good idea.

    If you gave this game negative reviews you have no idea what makes competitive matchmaking multiplayer good in an FPS. This is the epitome of first person shooters. I hold this game to a higher standard than Halo II and my personal favorite CoD title Word at War.

    Halo: Reach is in my opinon the single greatest fps game of all time. This is coming from a guy who has spent many hours in multiplayer and singleplayer in every halo game to date. I find myself coming back to this game all the time even setting up my old 360 just to play it. My personal favourite game. It'll still be worth buying in 50 years. (Unless they remaster it, get that instead.)

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I would give the game a 10 but I can't even though I really want to and it's my favorite game.

    Soooo much content here...

    Great story... So what if it doesn't follow the books. The bungie halo games always did their own thing...

    Great campaign mode... No annoying flood. No super lame levels. Just action!

    Great game play... Halo at its best. All the halo goodness in the world is here.

    Amazing sound track... Marty at his best as usual. Him and halo ARE halo.

    Great in game visuals. One of the best looking xbox 360 exclusives. Even better looking than halo 4...

    Smart AI... Cept kat lol... I think they made her dumb on purpose to add difficulty.

    Tons of content... Forge world, fire fight, multiplayer and more! All custom tailored to fit your style.

    No weak micro transactions like halo 5 lol.

    It's one of the best halo games. It's easily competing for best halo game against 1,2, and 3.

    Now for the mediocre/bad...

    Some minor gripes...

    Spoilers!

    You can't explain Kats death very well story wise... What happened to her energy shields? And if they were out temporarily then that would explain why it only took one needle rifle round to kill her. Fair enough.... But if that's the case... Why didn't the shooter take out the whole team as well? They played this scene well emotionally but it was dumb in a logical kind of sense.

    I wish you could make a fire fight mode where endless sword elites attack you nazi zombies style. They can't shoot or toss nades. They can only use cqc melee attacks with their swords. I always thought that this would be kool... But heck... I dunno if it would be since it doesn't exist and I'm not sure how long it would take until it got boring...

    Spartan laser is much worse than it was in halo 3. In Halo 3 it was the end all cannon against anyone just about... In Reach it's much harder to pin point, takes longer to charge up, has less ammo, and requires a more steady aiming thumb. It's worse in just about every way. I guess they wanted to nerf it since it was a anti tank sniper rifle in halo 3 and that was kind of OP lol. It did make vehicles some what useless in halo 3 btb.

    Bloom... Made shots random some what. Granted this only really upset strict competitive players who take the game very seriously in the rankings and what not... But for them it was a bit of a downer even though it's pretty silly to take "skill" in a video game so seriously. Especially considering that halo 2 has a hit scan br with high bullet magnetism and halo 3 has a br that's spread is pretty random too. Halo isn't exactly the most skillful shooter out there folks... Just saying. Play for fun. Not to try and be super mlg pro elite status... No one cares how good you are at a game. Besides... There are plenty of playlists that don't have bloom or even armor abilities for that matter so there is no need to complain anymore.

    The rank system. Apparently some folks only played to see a number by their name go up. It motivated them to play for some reason. Instead of playing to have fun they would focus on the level 1-50 rank system. Reach has no such system unless you look it up on a web-site.

    Anyone else miss having bots in multiplayer like perfect dark 64?

    So those are the mediocre/bad things. A lot of which doesn't bug me personally but I can see why it would bug some people. Especially those who are not that smart or are too quick to judge this game.

    Remember folks... No game is perfect but some games are pretty awesome anyways so I give this about a 8 or a 9. A 8 at launch. And a 9 now that patches and more content polished the game up.    … Expand

The maps are also a mixed bag, with some maps being a ton of fun to play on with the likes of Sword Base and Countdown, meanwhile others feel very uninspired or are badly designed such as Condemned, Boneyard and the forge maps.

    Overall, its a great game that is definitely worth checking out. Ignore the people that say the game is perfection and the others saying the game is complete trash, check it out and form your own opinion. Its definitely worth your time despite its flaws.    … Expand

    The big finisher from Bungie, Halo Reach is a interesting step away from the adventures of Master chief, as the game takes place on the planet Reach, in events before the adventures of Master Chief. The game is packed with variety, from the interesting maps and worldspaces, to the improved gamemodes returning from past games such as Forge. The campaign introduces brand new characters, each with their own quirks and noticeable personalities, with enough variety in the campaign missions to satisfy ever type of shooter fan. The new abilities mechanic added is well done, offering the player with useful tools to help with mobility or approach a situation in a new manner. Firefight gives players a survival challenge to fight against increasingly difficult hordes of Covenant forces, and multiplayer is fairly similar to past games, with much needed improvements where it matters most.
    Some of the games biggest strengths would have to be its forge gamemode, armory, and campaign. forge in Reach is vastly improves then the clunky and temperamental system in Halo 3, with much more tools and assests provided to the player, allowing for more creativity as well as the ability to fine-tune and adjust each piece of the map you create. The armory now allows players to better customize their spartan, with a wide variety of armor pieces that the user can unlock as they rank up.
    There are however some flaws that are not forgivable to me though, which do harm the rating of a near perfect game. Friendly AI in the campaign can be insufferable, with higher difficulties usually resulting in invincible walking and talking bricks as the rest of Noble team, compared to the player who can be easily taken out by a grunt if they are not careful. Noble Team AI frequently would appear to bug out, as they would freeze up in place and not even attack enemies, to the point where i would have to melee them to get them to move up to the next objective at least twice a mission.
    In conclusion, I do highly recommend this game to anyone who is a fan of Halo or scifi FPS games, though I do recommend a pass on difficulties such as legendary due to the insufferable AI making the game more difficult then needed and borderline insufferable. Besides the flaws with the campaign, it is a solid conclusion to Bungie's work on such a beloved series. With the mostly free DLC on the XBox 360, It is definitely worth the current price.    … Expand

The campaign is the best in the halo series because of its camera work not perfect characters, but the best they could have done, great game play and sandbox tools and a (mostly) silent character who you actually get to care about when they end the game and his life. Nova team might not be the best characters but everybody can admit they felt sad when they are killed off. The multi player will not be liked by all (armor lock) but can be enjoyed even if you are not a halo fan. The weapons are all fun and unique but the first time i used the DMR i was surprised it was in a halo game. the art style was slightly altered but it was a prequel so you can forgive them for that.

Like Reach's mechanics the art style also set a new path for the series that is unquestionably divisive. All of the improvements to the games engine allow for neat things like animals and rain to be rendered, and reach is certainly prettier than Halo 3. However the game runs so sluggishly whether you play it on XBOX ONE or XBOX 360, Reach is well-known as the least smooth Halo game. The story of Reach interesting but maybe not as newcomer friendly as Halo: CE. The greater character focus and gritty look create a surreal atmosphere, but ultimately the game feels like the wrong direction for Halo.… Expand

The game feels like aHalo Reach is a fitting conclusion to the Bungie era Halo games that refines a lot of what made the series so good while still adding new and interesting ideas to shake up the formula. I love how the story has the character ware your multiplayer armor set. Noble 6 is already a mostly blank slate for you to put your self in and this makes the game even more effective. The game feels like a love letter to the series with effectively your own spartan and actions being the reason by the end that the subsequent trilogy to even occur. Prequels usually suffer from the audience knowing what's gonna happen by the end as is the nature of a prequel. And while we knew sorta what was gonna happen as we herd about how Reach was destroyed in the other games and expanded material. But the game gives a great cast of Spartans in your team that you come to know during the game only to slowly kill them off until your final stand is both genius and just very effective in showing the tragedy of Reach. So I love the story and in visuals and sound the game much like its predecessors is really solid. The gameplay is also really good although there are some minor changes that I and a lot of fans weren't a fan of. Such as adding bloom to the guns which never bothered me that much but can be annoying at least in multiplayer and the new armor abilities. The most annoying one being the armor lock especially in multiplayer can be a real headache as it allows a player to be invincible for a couple of seconds. Other then those aspects which for me are fairly insignificant the rest of the gameplay is really solid and a ton of fun. The enemy AI is still really solid with enemy's making pushes when they know your shield is down and taking cover when grandees are thrown along with a bevy of other small details that make fighting them so fun and repayable. Designs for the covenant have been tweaked but aside from the brutes who just look weird the rest of the cast looks wonderful or relatively the same. My favorite being the elite who were made to stand up straight making them taller and more intimidating. One really annoying thing with enemy behavior is the melee swings of covenant happen so quickly you have no way to counter them. Which on higher difficulties can be a one shot kill. Overall the Reach campaign is a ton of fun and while I might not put it higher then the original trilogy it is right below them if I had to rank them. The multiplayer though is also great and I've spent a ton of time in the past playing it. And aside from some of those minor annoyances I mentioned earlier the multiplayer is still great competitive fun. Along with the forge mode which was expanded upon from 3 and I cant even count how many hours I spent making maps and playing other peoples customs maps and just screwing around with the game engine with friends to see what we could get away with. Halo Reach holds a special place in gaming for me and I believe it still holds up just as well as the original trilogy based on my most recent playthrough of the series.… Expand

    This game shaped many people's description of what Halo is. For me, this game leaves nothing but good memories. Yes, the campaign could've been longer and gone more into detail about Noble Team, but this not mean the games story is garbage. Excellent storytelling like what we have come to expect from Bungie, and the game truly deserves the 9/10 rating most websites give it.

    Primer juego de la saga Halo que termino y la verdad que no ha estado mal, pero me esperaba algo más. La historia está bien sin más, no estoy muy ubicado en el lore pero se que es una precuela y que el grupo de Spartans que forman tu pelotón no son relativamente relevantes para la historia del Jefe Maestro.

    Como no he jugado al multijugador quizás por llegar 8 años tarde, no voy a valorar ese aspecto, pero supongo que en su día estaría bien y a día de hoy desértico como es lógico.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Halo: Reach, in my opinion this game truly does deserve the title of Bungies Swansong. Lets start of with the Single Player Campaign, Unlike the Original games where you were pretty much guaranteed to win, this time with Halo: Reach the tone totally shifts, there is no victory to be found. From the Beginning you know that you're fighting a losing battle, and the games excellent Musical score does the job of reinforcing the dark tone. As you star to care for your teammates there picked...killed in their own unique and Ironic way. The story is simple in its structure and execution, making it easy to understand[far easier than Halo 2 & 4]

    This is a game that is definitley worth $60 it offers so much content, while the map selection is not the best, what with the maps being recycled from the campaign, in the series, there is simply so much to do, that I never felt bored, I would pop this game in my Xbox Any! Day.    … Expand

    This is about the recently released PC version of the game. I never played a Halo game so I decided to check out the hype. The single player mode is the most mediocre campaign you will ever see. Bulletspongy, boring enemies, boring gunplay as well as incredibly foregettable characters and story. This game is what Bioshock Infinite would be without the story and amazing set pieces.

    First    This is about the recently released PC version of the game. I never played a Halo game so I decided to check out the hype. The single player mode is the most mediocre campaign you will ever see. Bulletspongy, boring enemies, boring gunplay as well as incredibly foregettable characters and story. This game is what Bioshock Infinite would be without the story and amazing set pieces.

    First of all, the story has the depth of space invaders. You can tell they expect you to be familiar with halo because they explain none of the background. There is nothing unique or interesting about it, and the developers do nothing to make you care. They don't show you why the bad guys are bad or why this planet is important or anything else. For me, it was just random bad dudes shooting at me for some inexplicable reason. In Mass Effect, you know the Collectors are bad because they show you. You see what they do to people. So you care, you want to defeat them. Not the case in this game at all. They are there, there are endless waves of them, and they want to kill you for some reason. That is literally it.

    The characters as well are incredibly forgettable and chliche. If you disagree I challenge you to name a single one, right now. We have the gruff scary dude with a huge knife. The smartass hacker lass with a good heart, and the grizzled veteran leader that just wants to get the job done. There are two others but I cannot even remember what their 'thing' is. I just finished the story and don't remember any of their names because .. they just don't make you care. There are scenes in the game where you can tell they WANT you to care, but never is there any actual interaction that would make you. Compare that with Mass Effect 2 which came out the same year, I am pretty sure you could name 3-4 companions and still know their back story. I don't expect any game to do it as well as Mass Effect but if they don't, clearly this game is not a 10/10, which would imply perfection. As a result, when you lose people in Mass Effect you actually feel loss. They were your friends in a way, with lots of shared experiences. When you lose characters in Halo: Reach all you will think is 'am I supposed to care about this?'

    Next, the gameplay. I am only talking about single player here, and man, it is rough. First of all the weapons are incredibly BORING. The vast majority feel like pea shooters without impact. If you disagree go play DOOM 2016 or Wolfenstein: New Order and then come back to this. There are some design decision in here that I just do not get. Why is sprint an ability? It's supposed to be a fast shooter. Why can I not shoot a shotgun directly when coming out of sprint? That makes the shotgun useless. Again, compare with Mass Effect 2 vanguard builds which are A LOT of fun with shotguns. Most of the game you run around with the same goddamn rifle you got at the beginning of the game because it is the only thing doing even a mediocre amount of damage which is important, because

    the enemies are boring, bland bullet sponges. The most interesting enemy has a shield, so you have to stagger them and then you can kill them. That is literally the best the game has to offer. Everything else just requires you to hit it, A LOT. No strategy involved here. Again, compare that to DOOM 2016 or W:NO. Oh, and don't even try upping the difficulty because it just makes the enemies MORE BULLETSPONGY.

    Oh, and the vehicle sections. God DAMN are the vehicle sections boring. Remember Assassins Creed II? The cool chase sequences you had there? Yeah, that came out the same year. Compare with vehicle sequences in this game, they are ALL slow, get stuck on everything, and feel incredibly clumsy. Also, incredibly repetetive. Just hold the left mouse button on this banshee for twenty seconds. Now do it 30 times more. Wat.

    If someone would ask me to name a single good thing about this game, honestly, I couldn't. It is mediocre in every regard. Hence why I am writing this review, because I am honestly flabbergasted that so many people rate this as a perfect game. This does not feel like an opinion that could be objectively justified.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Having never played Halo before I had high expectations from this game and it exceeded all of them. The first mission is nothing special, it does a good job explaining the mechanics and controls of the game. As the game goes on it gets better and better, I really started loving this game halfway during the game. The characters are all well-written and distinctive. After Jorge dies and you see Noble-6 even lonelier than before you start understanding him more as a character. The game play is much different than other modern shooters. It is much more open than COD and other shooters which gives the campaign more replayability. My favorite mission was Lonewolf. The multiplayer was pretty good compared to other Halos but not better than 2 or 3. The multiplayer introduces sprint, and spartan abilities, i did not mind sprint and I thought that the spartan abilities were pretty fun and made the gameplay more varied.… Expand

At the time I thought Halo was about Humanity fighting a losing war but yes, it is part of Halo. But this one is different, this game shows the reality of the War. Not all Spartans are almost invisible as the Master Chief. NOBLE Team's death was ironic. Because why? First, Jorge who loved Reach died when sacrificed himself to destroy a Covenant ship but died in Space instead on Reach, Kat the brain of the team got shot through the brain, Carter the Captain (Commander) of the team goes down with the ship, Emile who loves getting Covenant kills gets stabbed but takes the killer along with him. Noble Six, the lone wolf died fighting alone. But Jun the sniper, on the other hand, decided to take distance and survived. Overall, it was basically Rogue one but better. Noble six who is you, the player, played a major role who helped Cortana and the Chief escape Reach which led to the story from Halo 1-3 we love today. I understand those who hate Reach had readed the Fall of Reach novel since it didn't really tied with the novel. Some had critics that many characters died. But they are such a noobies who doesn't know story telling. Noble six was the protagonist for this game but wasn't THE main protagonist of the franchise.… Expand

    Reach's story is really good. It makes us love the characters and even ours has a role. It's not like those times when your character is just a bystander, but instead develops a friendship with his allies which makes the final moments of the game very impactful.

    Reach could have been a great end for the Halo franchise. It completed thr story, it offered a flawless campaign and the multiplayer (while not as good as Halo 3) was really enjoyable.

    It takes a while to get going but once you reach the halfway point it really starts getting good. It has some amazing story moments and an amazing ending. It has some really good levels / environments and the setting of the game is amazing. The combat is the usual halo standard - very good. It does feel a lot more forgiving than previous titles and it's the only halo game I've completed onIt takes a while to get going but once you reach the halfway point it really starts getting good.

    And this was the last truly great halo game. Nowadays the franchise is just not all that great.    … Expand

    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

    This Halo has the best campaign off all Halo with its extraordinary story or its smooth and great gameplay. Easily the last great Halo game.

    Not the best halo game, but its good.
    Campaign went pretty fast, and wasn't very fulfilling the second time around. Multiplayer isn't that good either, pretty basic. Customization is very hard to do and its mainly for people who grind a lot.
    Still a better game than call of duty

    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

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

    Halo: Reach es una excelente precuela, la historia es increíble en todo lo que hace, sientes misterio, sientes nostalgia al ver al capitán Jacob Keyes o al The Pillar of Autumn, sientes como los nobles saben que ya han perdido pero aún así intentan hacer algo contra el Pacto.

Aunque Halo: Reach sea una precuela el gameplay evoluciona y el arsenal aumenta comparándola con las anteriores entregas y en Halo: Reach apuestan por la barra de salud, donde se quito en Halo 2 y Halo 3, y no entiendo porq lo quitaron, estaba bastante bien como buscabas botiquines por el mapa para curarte, y no se podía recuperar la salud automaticamente, en Halo 1, pero aquí (en Halo: Reaach) la salud se puede recuperar automaticamente, y esto es un error porq lo que hace interesante a la salud en Halo CE esq tenías que apañartelas para buscar un botiquin por el mapa. Algo que no me gusto del juego es la inteligencia artificial de nuestros compañeros, siendo algo mediocre, y esto contrasta mucho con los personajes, es decir, que un noble este disparando a una pared por la cara, es normal que perdamos Reach.… Expand

    Genuinely one of the most incredible games of all time. The campaign is one of the best FPS campaigns ever with a great sandbox, range of enemies but also the most diverse collection of missions.

The campaign is one of the best FPS campaigns ever with a great sandbox, range of enemies but also the most diverse collection of missions. Each mission is completely unique and utilises differently parts of the sandbox perfectly making every mission enjoyable. The characters are good for the short amount of screen time they have and the cutscenes are brilliant. The overall story is 10/10 and adds a lot to the halo lore in a completely unique and unexpected way, the final mission "lone wolf" diverts the stereotypes of usual campaign endings in a great way and conveys the ongoing feel of hopelessness portrayed throughout the entire game.
    As for the Multiplayer, armor abilities make it slightly worse than 3's imo, as they are annoying and dont mix well as sprint is one for some reason. However the sandbox is arguably the best and BTB is incredible as well as infected. Standard slayer is ok but there is no reason not to use the DMR as it even outguns the AR at close range. The main problem is the bloom on guns like the DMR which makes shooting enemies painful at times.
    Forge is the best in the franchise apart from 5 and gives you a huge world to explore and build on, plenty of objects and custom games to create which is why Reach has such an incredible range of customs.
    Firefight is good, im personally not the biggest fan of firefight in general but it is enjoyable although too easy at times but there are plenty of options to change to adjust the difficulty and the maps are great although ripped straight from the campaign most of the time.    … Expand

    Halo Reach is a great game. Both campaign and multiplayer have a fun design and are enjoyable. But, let's get a little more in-depth here.

    The story of campaign is okay. Not great. Noble Six being a self insert character for the player is great, allowing you to feel like you really are in the Halo universe. The other characters are not so enjoyable. I don't hate Noble Team. I really don't. They just don't get enough time to really flesh them out. The only ones that I actually care about are Emile because he has a very clear and present personality and you get to spend time alone with him, and Jun but that's because Jun survived past Reach and is featured in quite a bit of post-Reach media. So the characters aren't the best, okay. But what about the actual story. It's pretty good. The game tells you that you lose within the first few seconds. But you don't feel that way up until Long Night of Solace. The game makes you feel like you can take on the whole damn Covenant (much like the trilogy did) before ripping that away and showing you that you cannot win. Then you are left to walk through a city under siege and see the Covenant's brutality against the people. That is the beauty of Halo Reach's storytelling. It carries you to such high high's before pulling you right back down. Incredible.

    The campaign's gameplay is also pretty fun. It has a couple cool new weapons, returning weapons feel good, it works well. The level design is good and the variety in level layouts and locations are great. Gameplay wise, campaign holds up well.

    Multiplayer is interesting. The armor abilities are very controversial, and in my opinion are a good addition. I like what they bring to the table. Ten years after this game's release and there are still people playing online on the 360 (I know because I'm one of them). That should go to show that people still enjoy this multiplayer. Firefight is the only part I'm really split on. I think it was better in ODST. In ODST you felt like your back was up against the wall at all times. Here it feels more like you're DOOM Slayer rather than Soap McTavish (Gruntpocalypse is pretty fun though).

    Overall, Reach holds up really well. While the campaigns story doesn't hit as hard as Halo 4's, and the multiplayer doesn't quite rival Halo 3's, Reach is overall incredibly solid.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is almost a perfect game just with a few knocks like armor lock, bloom, and load-outs. But besides those things, this game is an amazing gripping campaign about an elite team of soldiers being sent to their deaths and that's not even the best part, The best part is the multiplayer I can not tell you the amount of time I've spent playing classic game modes like cops and robbers, infected and get out of my house. just an all-around amazing game just with a few nocks.… 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 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.
