Reach sucked hard.
And shat all over the established canon.
If it had been liked Fall of Reach, then the campaign would have actually been pretty freaking good. But instead they pull Spartan IIIs out of fucking nowhere and say to hell with the canon.
Unfortunately, Reach ended up being many people's first jump into Halo, giving it undeserved praise.
Halos 1, 2, and 3 are infinitely better.
Pretentious level: >9000
Considering you're pretty accurate about a good deal of Americans...
...I have no problem with that stereotype being used in a joke article, especially if other countries are flamed just as harshly.
...Grow up and get a sense of humor, dude.
...Implying that a lack of "culture" is a bad thing...?
I personally would like to be able to walk while *aiming*, but being forced to stand while *firing.* I think that would bump up the tension while attempting a semblance of realism.
You can have decent controls while still being survival-horror, though.
One of the primary ways to do so is to limit available ammo and give you options to run away instead of fighting every monster.
YES. I'm glad 343 is not going to be altering their canon like Bungie did with Reach.
Bungie really dropped the ball with Noble Team and Spartan 3's being on Reach. That and a bunch of other shit...just shat all over the canon established by Fall of Reach.
He was described as having fair skin.
Yes, Pekolie, because children can just change races between childhood and adulthood like that.
Yup, which is why Reach just doesn't stack up to Halo 1, 2, or 3, the Halo 2 Brutes be damned.

Using SMOKING marijuana as an argument against using marijuana at all makes you look like an uninformed asshole.
Smoking ANYTHING is bad for you, and is not the safe way to get high. You might as well say that video games are bad because you play them by pounding your head into the controller. Non sequitor.
Ingest or vaporize it, and most of your negative effects disappear entirely. As far as immune system goes, marijuana helps people w...
I'm not gonna pre-order until I find out what editions there are and what is offered with each edition.
I don't see an issue. Halo 3, Halo Reach, and Halo ODST all were released pretty close to that year's CoD release, and share a lot of the fanbase (but Halo is definitely better, in my opinion).
Reminds me of the guy who had a pre-order for Duke Nukem Forever from TEN YEARS AGO. Gamestop honored it, too, and then Gearbox sent the dude some free swag.
Of course they're making Dead Space 3, but a company taking pre-orders alone doesn't inherently mean anything.
The problem would be if this version gets some of the same bugs that Fallout 3 and Bioshock 2 got: corrupted save files after tens of hours of gameplay. I'd be pissed as hell if I lost a character because of GFWL's crappy service.
Seeing as there's a ton of missing little things that good game design would require (like being able to leave between rounds, being able to pause during that 7-second span during respawn where you can't do anything), stuff that is annoying as hell...
That's just it, though. We want them to take RISKS, not turn their game series into a replica of another successful series (Gears of War, etc).
Risks here would be further emphasis on survival/horror/survival-horro r, not on the action stuff that is dominating the playspace today.
Why be polarizing, guys?
How about this: It's an announcement for BOTH. That way everyone wins.
I would like the ability to ROTATE THE DAMN CAMERA DURING DEATH/RESPAWN.
During death could be arguably unfair, but during respawn it sucks to be looking at a teammates front or back and having no idea if it's safe around him and no way to check.
Meh.
