    Halo Reach Impressions... (SPOILERS are welcome)

    for those of you who have played through the campaign... was it everything you wanted?
    me personally thought Bungie did a tremendous job keeping the right balance of helplessness and determination.
    what are your thoughts?

     and also... the ending. did you hate it?

    "where's the Legendary ending?! i want my secret ending! where is it?" --i'm still holding my breath for an extra ending with Legendary, but as of now, i haven't seen anything different. have you guys?

    Re: Halo Reach Impressions... (SPOILERS are welcome)

    I did notice a few bits done in ODST and other areas of the past games but they folded really well into the story it was pretty dam awesome.

     And there are times i felt impossible to stop. City mission protecting the elevator from the brutes is one example.

     I felt like reach was trying to show how much it could do in firefight like stand offs like in ODST but then carried on with the same mission was un-expected and i great touch. 

     Unable to fight a scarab however was a lil lame and the surprise of Drones appearing was unwelcome due to me having no weapons that could effectively counter them.

     

    Over all 9/10 great campaign

    And the ending i saw before the game came out so i knew what to expect i liked it though id carry on but the spoilers will be heavy no matter how i slice it


    Aloysius:If you think about it, Galactus is a giant purple alien who eats planets. Kind of like the Covenant.

    It's official, straight from the mouth of an employee who works on Halo.

    The Covenant eat planets.

    Data Pads, anyone?!

    it seems Bungie left something akin to the terminals littered on Reach's surface. Data pads with somewhat-cryptic information tell a 19 part story.
    i'm just now touching the surface of this, but it's pretty deep, it seems. there's also reverberant reversed audio, just like in the terminals!

    fun stuff? of course!

    i'm going to go play some multiplayer...

    Spoiler 


    At the very end when 6 is dead there is a new spaceship in the background. And the sky is clear and is generally a pretty happy day.

     

     

    Which probably does not happen on a glasses planet. So maybe they are beginning to recolonize reach.

    Halsey said that they'd come back, and recolonize Reach thanks to you giving Keyes the package.

    Oh Okay.

     

    So one million things have been retconned and the PoA was on Reach the entire time.

    Yep. TFoR is little more than a famous fanfic now.

    I think they should remake Halo 1 with only updated graphics.

    Re: Halo Reach Impressions... (SPOILERS are welcome)

    The game is amazing.

    Campaign was fantastic, the ending didn't live up to what I was expecting, but I have high standards.

    Mulitplayer is incredible as well.

    I came across one on the last level when I was doing my solo Legendary run. Just as you meet up with the last group of marines (as you head out the door to where you later meet up with Keyes) you walk down a hallway indoors with breakable windows on each side. The left side has doors you can walk through, but the right don't. You have to crouch-jump through the window to get in to the room and the Data Pad is in the back left corner on the table.

    And if anyone was wondering why I was looking there, I had only 1 frag grenade left and no other ammo. :)

    Has anyone else come across any? Yes, I know you can look up the locations, but has anyone actually stumbled across them?

    Re: Halo Reach Impressions... (SPOILERS are welcome)

    Found one on the sniper mission and one in New Alexandria in the jet packing segment. You hear about the dance party easter egg?

    If all you want to do is complain about the game please leave.

    but if you have a helpful suggestion or need help ask nicely and there will be someone to listen and help you!

    By the way, how hard is the jetpacking segment solo legendary? I'm not there yet, but I want a glimpse of what I'm up against later.
