OXM UK: Halo: Reach - What's Your Verdict?

fter much hype, fanfare and fuss, the Halo: Reach beta has finally arrived.

Bungie's FPS had a few technical problems as everyone jumped on the servers at the same time, bringing proceedings to a grinding halt. Yet the problems have mostly cleared and dedicated fans have been able to get a taste of Halo: Reach.

At start you couldn't even get in, but now that is fix, but people that are on that think they need lag kills or to cheat to win. Well I think Bungie needs to fix that an fix the lost of a host.

I hate when you are in a game an about to kill someone an it has to find a new host, some how some people end up facing me when it loads back up.

RELAX5102d ago

THE game is fun to play, but The grapic are not like the trailer

GenghisKhan5102d ago

gameplay is same old, same old

what's so special about this POS? why do so many nerds like this crap? nerds will be nerds.. failo. star wars, no girlfriends

EVILDEAD3605102d ago

By the time I made it home..it took 2 and a half hours to get in..

3 quarters of my friends list were still attempting to get in as well..

But when we finally did..WOW..

Even a few days in..nothing compares to that first night..we cannot stop talking about it at work..in fact we got a people scrambling for ODST just to try it..

I have not had that much pure fun since that first multiplayer game 3 years ago when Halo 3 dropped.

Even with the changes.Bungie didn't change so much that your true Halo skills wouldnt benefit the same in the beta..

Weve been laughing it up every night since..The new inter-game linking to friends list is amazing..I've gained like 5 friends a night and all are true Halo heads..

If you don't talk to get through CTF and some of the team modes then you get smoked by the teams that stick together..and you don't need to be the best to make a huge impact for your team..brilliant

The Customization is actually cooler than it read on paper..

They will keep adding more modes as the days go by..so we still havent seen it all..but by releasing the beta..Bungie has solidified what we all knew from Day one..

Halo Reach is going to be one special game..

How'd fallout not make the list. Atleast over cyberpunk, tales , and halo. Fallout been around since what 96 98 and has 5 6 games into it. It's full of lore when you play it. I'd even add star ocean to a point.

robtion480d ago

Agree Fallout should be on there.

MadLad480d ago

And somehow Planescape Torment doesn't even make the list.

Crows90480d ago

Hollow knight surpasses these.

shinoff2183480d ago

In lore? I must be missing something

Crows90480d ago (Edited 480d ago )

Yes in lore. Easily missed... absolutely. Never played a game that had me loving the world and lore behind it as much as that one. Most of course wouldn't be able to experience it since it is a more difficult game.

DarXyde480d ago

I can't speak for all titles on this list, but by the time you get to Dark Souls III, the lore is a bloody tapestry of intricacy

Crows90479d ago

Played them all. Im not saying the games on the list dont have good lore...I just think hollow knight had more lore that is hidden but present and more easily explored and accessed. The souls games have tremendous lore but theyre mostly hidden and stay that way unless you look for it and research it. The lore is not very accessible.

DarXyde479d ago

Crows90,

I think that's a somewhat fair assessment. For me, the Souls games are less upfront about the lore, but it does invite your fascination through NPCs, items, locations, bosses, etc. There's this kind of natural progression where the picture becomes just clear enough by doing the essential tasks, but it really makes you want to explore every inch of the world.

TheColbertinator480d ago

Suikoden and Legend of Heroes also have massive lore setups.

agent13480d ago

narration is more important than lore i'd rather watch the story and characters in a more cinematic way instead of searching for notes and stuff that's why i love sony exclusive games like uncharted and gow and hate from software games

shinoff2183479d ago

The article was top ten lore in video games. I think they did a bad job picking games out. I know what you mean though. I just like a variety of games and genres.

Awesome news - so can we look forward to playing Halo: Infinite with no online issues circa 2033?

just_looken565d ago

"You can download the improved Reach AI mod at Mod DB" This was a mod 343 did nothing so the online will be fixed in our dreams.

SullysCigar565d ago

Par for the course with 343.

Profchaos564d ago

They did say they had a 10 year plan for infinite we just all assumed it would be DLC could of been a 10 year netcode rollout.

But seriously this is a mod the community won't be able to modify infinite in the same way

Cikatriz_ESP565d ago

Combat Evolved was the best campaign, and it's not even close.

just_looken565d ago

You should have tried this version of reach when it first came out remastered for a year there was no sound because 343 could not locate the sound files.

It was a special challenge.

badz149565d ago

more like the bunch at 343i are simply mentally challenged

ACEMANWISE565d ago

Well I guess 12 years is faster than most fixes. I guess this is a cheap way to "remaster" something nowadays.....by just fixing something that used to always be broken.

zidane1341565d ago

Did you even read the article? This is a mod to improve AI from back almost 2 gens ago. Nobody is claiming this is remastering anything. Yeesh.

Crows90564d ago

Halo is dead. Microsoft has other shooter franchises it cares more about now. 343 are no longer Xbox golden studio. They are likely to shift things around or even close it all together and give the IP to someone else.

343i decided to pummel the IP into the ground...and when they see it didn't quite look like Glenn's face they decided to just keep on pummeling. Not sure if Glenn is the IP or the fanbase in this case though.

Profchaos564d ago

343 were never the golden studio they were a hastily thrown together b team when bungie said we want to do something else cya

Crows90564d ago

Well ...I didn't want to say it but I agree. Makes you wonder why Microsoft gave them the IP and didn't keep Bungie or any of the talent they acquired from any studio.

CobraKai564d ago

“ Halo Infinite, Halo 3, or Halo: Combat Evolved. It’s hard to say which of the sci-fi FPS games offers the best experience all round.”
He lost me with Halo Infinite.
