5 Reasons why Halo: Reach will Teabag MW2

James Joell-Ireland & Dean Case at wedotech.net writes "With the launch of the Halo: Reach Multiplayer trailer the hype wagon has truely stepped intoa new gear. I think many will agree that the trailer gave us what we were looking for and heaps more. So, Halo's biggest rival is without Modern Warfare 2, here is five reasons why MW2 players may see their lobbies a little depleated upon the beta and release date."

[Greywulf]

fps with no vehicles & Broken online?

How about BC2?

[GamerscoreWhores]

Not had the chanced to play BBC2 yet, hah, BBC2 i like it good abbreviation for Battlefield. Wasn't a big fan of the reloading on it from the demo though.

[kaya]

ya i'm sure we can think of a few more than just 5 reasons.

[GrieverSoul]

WOW!!! Fanboy much?!

Look at the hype the media and the fans gave MW2!
Look how that turn out! XD

I respect your opinion and I hope this game meets your expectations though.

[cayal]

Wow you know this is a well written article when the title mentions tea-bagging.

Sounds like it is written by the typical online FPS 4 year old.

[JokesOnYou]

Halo Reach will no doubt be one of this years best games, and if Bungie can surpass Halo3 in every way it will surely be a truly special game by any measure....but imo, Halo and the COD franchises compliment each other rather than compete because they are 2 of the best shooters but they offer a very different experience, OK more accurately Yes different franchises always offer different experiences but what I mean is games within the same genre can easily sort of "feel" similiar to other shooters, but Halo and MW2 are nothing alike, MW2 and BBC2 "feel" much more similiar, given both at least try to offer a realistic setting, weapons, gameplay, no matter which you prefer all are worthy titles to be experienced by shooter fans, if you're not the biggest shooter fan, then Halo for me is the best if you want to play any shooter, errr or maybe Gears, there's just something I love about the over-the-top-in-yo-face-style of gameplay Gears offers, but I digress, again MW2 is a great game, even though I know Halo Reach will be even better, still no need to bash MW2...I've had a blast playing it these last few months.

JOY

[Saaking]

Bungie actually cares for it's community. I also prefer Halo's gameplay over CoD.

[Kazu0 Hirai]

Halo Reach makes Killzone 2 look like Blake Stone.

[Perjoss]

Saaking trying to get some bubbles back :P

[Greywulf]

Halo3 already Teabag's MW2. MW2 was a 1.5 upgrade, with nothing interesting that BC2 doesn't already cover and exceed. Don't confuse you having fun for a good product.

The reason people hate on MW2 is because its a half ass update. And it has buggy online... with hacks..

Is that a lie?

[LEGENDARY PELON]

Why?

Because its exclusive to the all mighty powerfull Xbox 360!!

You can play MW2 on the 360/ps3/pc, but Halo is only on the 360 baby!!

Now i see where all the hatting on Halo is coming from!!

[Therealspy1776]

Gave you a bubble cuz i don't think 99% of the people with just 1 bubble actually deserve it. but uh....you spelled hating wrong.

[ll_UNDERSCORE_ll]

Sorry halo and Cod fans, battlefield has the crown of shooters.

[Tricksy]

1. People who use the term "teabag" as an adjective are going to think anything Halo PWNS everything else, including MW2.

2. Saaking will never get his bubbles back, but that is not for lack of people agreeing with him and clicking the green button. I feel, with Saaking, there are probably bigger things at work. Nod to the mods.

[Njectionism]

I almost totally agree with everything in the article, one thing I have noticed however is that infinity ward DID play with regular people at the start of MW2's release, looks like they have stopped now though.

[Rich1631]

I hope you have hot water ready...cause, here's your teabag! I am proud to say though, that I have never teabagged anyone online...well maybe once or twice. ;) Anyway, I am SO looking forward to Reach and like the guy said, it is because of the community and Bungie's crazy support.

[GamerscoreWhores]

I have to say i'm looking forward to this title more than any other this year. Yet Reach wasn't really on my radar much until i could see that.

[Njectionism]

Yeah, I will need to buy an XBox just for this I think, my old one red ringed on me, but I reckon that if Bungie pull this off, not only will the MW2 fanboys stay where they are, but the OLD Halo community will flock back.

Good stuff

[STICKzophrenic]

Bungie has supported Halo 3 post-release more than any other developer has supported their game post-release this gen.

There have been three or four map packs, Double XP every week, frequent playlist updates, Bungie favorites on a weekly basis, etc.

That is the reason why Halo: Reach will PWN MW2. It will release with tons of polish and few, if any bugs and glitches.

Reach cannot come soon enough!

[Blaze929]

yeah Halo 3 to this day has not required one bit of fixing or an update to patch things up in Multiplayer. Halo 2 was a glitch fest but Halo 3 shows the commitment and serious level Bungie holds with their games.

[GamerscoreWhores]

I shall be there midnight launch (my very first, i usually don't get dragged into the hype but....yes, i think i will stay up for that)

[-Alpha]

Though your last two sentences are contradictory in a way :P

I can't wait for Reach, but Bungie will take its time with it and being the awesome devs that they are they will make this a Perfect MP game.

And the list was ok. If you are going to make a list don't use the "This game has X and this game doesn't" mentality because it's unfair.

I can give you only one worthy reason:

-Activision isn't getting their paws on Bungie

[Eamon]

They did release a patch that sorta altered gameplay. Not really fixed it.

Remember the Melee problem where when 2 people (shields down) melee each other and the one with faster internet would win.

And also, an early patch removing the crazy flying bodies when you melee someone. Remember how very early on when someone kills by melee, the body would fly off in the year as if the culprit did a falcon punch lol

[LastDays]

Burnout Paradise says hi

[Akagi]

I hope you mean just for consoles, let's not forget Team Fortress 2 on PC.

[Eamon]

Akagi makes a valid point. =/

[ColdFire]

Ahem, Valve and the PC version of TF2 wish to point out the minor nearly doubles of weapons and tools, the tripling or something of maps, and the horde of new gameplay features...

[Unicron]

People that wanna play MW2 will still play MW2. Or both.

Games CAN co-exist! Try it!

[GamerscoreWhores]

Modern Warfare 2 players have brought this upon themselves, the fanboys anyway. Especially the ones that called MW2 the most realistic shooter ever. Ghost Recon, Rainbow Six & Operation Flashpoint are all more realistic.

[Dacapn]

This is true.

But it doesn't change the fact that in all likelihood Master Chief will find his balls resting on MW2's chin.

[Unicron]

"But it doesn't change the fact that in all likelihood Master Chief will find his balls resting on MW2's chin"

And then CoD7's vietnam heroes will do the same. Round and round it goes. Just enjoy both, silly people =)

[Njectionism]

Ah, but then Medal of Honour is coming back with its Modern warfare style game isn't it.

Could be an interesting battle to say the least.

[maniacf40]

.

[Njectionism]

Yep, blatantly a Fanboy comment, but I suppose you didn't read the article?

I only own a PS3 at the moment, and have been a Sony fanboy for quite a while now, but, this does look brilliant I must say.

[GamerscoreWhores]

Many believe COD4 is still better than MW2. So... your comment is retarded :D

[borgome]

I can't wait to get back in the habit of t-bagging the crap out of people.

[GR8 1]

This game will TEABAG any FPS till next Halo!

[maximus1985]

so i just read this article....and then i looked at the guys pic. so after all that im left with disbelief. who really cares what this fat slob thinks. he says mw2 was fake in comparison to HALO!!! are you kidding. let me tell you halo kids one thing i served in the military for 5 years and there are no i reapeat NO spartan swords or lasers!!!

[Njectionism]

and yet a Barrett 50. Calibre takes 2 shots to kill somebody and you can sprint with it?

hmm, Call of Duty is MEGA REALISTIC isn't it?

If you really did serve in the Military, you would know that

1- The amount of recoil that a Barrett has would probably break your shoulder if fired in quick succession like in Call of Duty

2- A 50. Calibre is designed for taking out tanks, helicopters and other vehicles, it would absolutely decimate a person's chest.

3- Ever seen a Barrett? They are rather long and heavy, hence why they have a tripod and troops don't tend to run with them. (not that a sniper would anyway.)

[maximus1985]

your really arguing this. instead of exploding in rage and throwing my moniter against the wall ill just amuse you. what was i thinking your right MODERN warfare has nothing on halos realism.

[Njectionism]

At no point did I say Halo was realistic?

I was merely replying to this remark
'let me tell you halo kids one thing i served in the military for 5 years and there are no i reapeat NO spartan swords or lasers!!!'

If you truly did serve in the military, stating that 'MODERN' Warfare 2 isn't 'fake' completely defuncts your entire argument now doesn't it?

[maximus1985]

listen u pathetic waste of time. i served five years in the United States Marine Corp. if you take a look at my pic, thats me (light bulb). take a second to look at what i said again. noticed the words "in comparison" now i know i just blew your mind so take a minute to think of something else then reply but do it soon cause your parents might need the internet. also since you seem so keen on taking away the fact that im veteran what branch prey tell did you serve honorably.....dont worry ill wait.

[STICKzophrenic]

Do people dual wield shotguns and Deagles as well???

Also, at least Halo explains health regeneration. What's the explanation in Call of Duty? Did you hind behind a wall waiting for the Kool-Aid to drip dry before getting back into the gunfight???

[Njectionism]

No need to wait good sir,

Of course, I haven't served time in the services, although I have decommissioned several weapons for the Military, and so I know quite a bit about Firearms and their handling.

I have no doubts that you were in the Military, nor do I care what unit you came from. That isn't and was not my point read below:

I am simply stating the fact that Modern Warfare 2 is by no means realistic, and if you had read the article correctly before getting up on your high horse (or boat, whatever) you would have realised that the point you were making was not mentioned anywhere, the only line I could find after reading through again (I check my facts before I argue, something that you clearly do not seem to have the capacity to do.) This seems to be the only line I could find:

'Not to mention this but we also feel that if your not going to play a realistic game (CODMW2 is not realistic) then why pretend to be realistic.'

With some basic grasp of the English language, we can deduce that the point of this line is to say that If you aren't going to play a realistic game then why bother (it's a pointless exercise, something you will know lots about - Afghanistan for example)

Another thing you should be aware of is that I don't live with my parents, I have quite a nice flat though, not the biggest, but suits my needs perfectly...

Thank you for allowing me to write this essay, and I hope you take the time to read over it and consider the fact that you could possibly be wrong.

[maximus1985]

you know i read this and thought hey he makes a valid point and he did flip like a coin about my vet status stating you had no doubt when clearly you did, but then you go and say why bother its a pointless exercise like afghanistan. thinking about it i wont even get upset. im done with this wall of an argument, but still i wonder why DOES bungie bother with changing your beloved halo from the ground up? if not for that pointless realism its clearly trying to achive. when it comes down to it its still a VIDEO GAME, NOT a real to life simulator, which is what you seem to be looking for. Such detailed complaints on modern warfares realism but no question to colorful robocops. deep down you know what my point was and i know what my point was. dont get me wrong i play halo with friends here and there but when we want a more REAL experience we go to codmw1, 2 , even bad company. AND THAT GOOD SIR is a fact.and unlike your assumption i wont be taking mine back kid.

[jdktech2010]

That's interesting....I always thought games were supposed to be fun and not real.

The point of this little squabble you two are having is on wehther Halo is more realistic than COD? It's not a secret that Halo has aliens in it...see any of those in the real world? THat's not the point at hand here.

COD MW2 is NOT REALISTIC....even when compared to nothing. If you read the article, you would realize he's not trying to compare the realism of the two games but rather stating that Halo is not supposed to be based in true reality so why bother with a few pieces of it?

The reality based argument for Call of Duty is that it's just not....If you snipe someone with a Barrett, they won't keep walking around, have some red vision and then return to normal a few seconds later....They die in a very quick fashion with a very large hole in their chest. But not in COD world

Unfortunately in the real world, we can't regenerate health....we can die a very slow death of bleeding out though

READ THE ARTICLE

I don't know if you just don't understand the discussion at hand but nobody is claiming that COD isn't more realistic than Halo or that the military isn't real or anything like that....the article and people you have been "aruging" (kinda one sided if you ask me) with are saying that nobody should even pretend that Call of Duty is real and at the same time Bungie shouldn't attempt to make Halo real...just make it fun

[iPad]

Any game teabags MW2

[BeaArthur]

I don't know about any game but Reach definitely will.

[Imperialshroom]

This is coming from a huge cod4 fan and someone who is not much of a halo fan but with the upgrade in graphics and mw2 being utter crap( even tho i still play it, cant help knifing people) reach looks like its gonna jet pack its way to the sky and drop its ballz right on mw2. May make me buy an xbox again but we'll see.

[2FootYard]

Reach will use its glimmering crystal sword to behead every one of its pathetic rivals. Sony might as well thrust the blade of suicide into its bloated stomachs now.

[Lord_Ranos]

Yea we know bots like power rangers with bright swords.

[The Iron Sheik]

That sword doesn't glimmer so much in 576p.

[olos]

why does halo reach constantly have to refer itself to other games
it makes little sense to me
and who cares really
the only people who will buy it are people who already like halo and own one their games

im getting tired of this kind of journalism for games that arent out yet

please stop

[nutbear96]

5 reasons why Halo is GAY and doesn't compare to MW2. 1. PLAY IT 2. PLAY IT AGAIN 3. PLAY IT AGAIN 4. DON'T YOU SEE 5. IF YOU STILL DON'T SEE THEN YOU HAVE PROBLEMS!!!!!!

The graphics are overhyped and sure it is the est looking game on Xbox but if you think it is even the slightest bit better (graphically) than Killzone 2, Uncharted 2 and Heavy Rain then you need your head examined and need to face the facts!

IT IS FILLING WITH FUKIN 10 YEAR OLDS WITH HEADSETS!!!!!!!!

Besides the first game AlL Halo games have had a sh!Tey 6 hour story! ANd Bungie are milking it to the limit!

MW2 is more fast paced, more popular, more customizable and it is overall a brilliant game! And the same said for BF BC2 but it isn't fast paced!

If you still want to buy it.... GGGGRRRRHHHHH

[Njectionism]

Curious that you argue that Halo has a 6 hour story, did you play Modern Warfare 2?

[maximus1985]

just ignore rejectoism here hes completely biased and likes to argue for his amusement. if you dont believe me check the open section of this article.

[Gago]

come back when MW2 isn't the #1 played online game

n00bs

[TheBand1t]

http://majornelson.com/arch...

Halo 3 is right behind MW2, and it's almost 3 years old.

Can't say I much care for Halo (outside of Halo: CE), but it plays a helluva lot better then MW2.

[Cernunnos]

Really isn't saying much... Beating MW2 is pretty easy, just don't make your game a bugged glitchfest!

[RageAgainstTheMShine]

where you can airgun the Covenant fleet to death with your middle finger FTW!

Die you scumbags!

[Eamon]

Pretty good 5 reasons really. Developers intigrating with the community and the "fun" factor is what made me continue to play Halo 3 multiplayer 2 years after it was released.

I loved COD4 and MW2 multiplayer but it got a bit boring after a while. Mainly, because of the level-up system takes too long and so you don't get to play with the amazing guns and perks till you level up.
In Halo 3, everything was available from the start except the armour customisation.

Another good point in the article is how you are able to do more team work and tactics in Halo 3 because most people actually bother talking through headsets in Halo 3. Since you die and respawn almost every 2 minutes in MW2, it really feels you're playing by yourself somehow.

[GamerscoreWhores]

Absolutely, u make a great point there. Constant dying and respawning just takes away from the teamplay.

[horris36]

Cant believe the next Halo multiplayer experience is only 2 months away. faints*

[maximus1985]

just play halo 3 its THE SAME THING!

[The BS Police]

Your mixing up Halo with Call Of Duty.

[emk2004]

bfbc2 > than every other shooter this year for me. so bfbc2 tbags halo. halo will be good but its not that fresh any more and bfbc2 has more team work oriented gameplay i like this.

[divideby0]

someone who has to use the word TB in a title of an article...really should grow up...or just stop writing net articles until they are old enough

[sGIBMBR]

Halo 3 already teabags MW2, sorry... But it's true!

[Tose]

FAIL.

[Evil Rant Monkey]

opposites attract!

[mrv321]

1 reason why it won't, it's because Bad Company 2 allready has.

Also, on the vehicles front Bad Company 2> Halo.

I've played both and I find them very fun just COD MW2 seems basic, just troops, Halo seems more advanced because of it's vehicles although a bit tacked on. Bad Company 2 has full flown vehicles but it's far too different from Halo for them to compete, but they are COMPARABLE.

[chrisulloa]

Halo started the whole vehicles trend. It's also NOT tacked on, it's a well executed game with great vehicle controls, think before you type.

[n4gn4gn4gn4g]

is representative of why I wouldn't want to own an Xbox.

[jdktech2010]

and the title of your profile is representative of why our education system is lacking

Look at me, I can copy and paste!!!!

[jdktech2010]

although yes, it's kinda juvenile language

[corywebb93]

Halo is the best game ever made it will also t bag all the ps3 owners in the world

halo makes all games look like et the extra terestrial game

[Ariellog]

BfBc2 will teabag both

[plumber15]

to bad both games are garbage

[TehSuperCell]

BF:BF2 pwns both games. kthnxbai.

[grantps3]

halo and mw are just to different to make any comparison.

I dont think jetpacks alone make a good arguement of why halo will be better, and your right there are no generic terrorist in halo.....just generic space marines.

im not saying halo reach wont be a good game, im just saying that these are bad reasons to base this article off of.

[Acetaminophen]

Halo reach looks outdated. For the love of god, when will Bungie release a Halo game that looks "Great"? The visuals are a real downer. Three years creating a new engine with Halo 3 graphics. When will Bungie ever update the graphics of their games? It is so frustrating. With every new release for the 360, it's limits are becoming more noticeable.

[The_Nameless_One]

I wonder just how long it took the author to come up with that awe inspiring headline.

[Xi]

the vibe I get from halo reach is very tribes, and I'm extremely fine with that.

[CurlUpAndDie]

bad ass!! mw2 is dead to me. thank god the beta is around the corner and all i have to say is jet pack baby!
