Forums - Gaming Discussion - What are your thoughts on Halo Reach's gameplay footage from E3 2010?

For me, it was interesting but not mind blowing. Not that I have a problem with Bungie recycling the same formula (It wouldn't be Halo if it wasn't Halo), but the gameplay footage didn't blow me away as Bungie promised us. Battles didn't look as big or exciting as Bungie have been touting it out to be. Not that there's any good things about the footage, the Elites are back and the visuals are very impressive and look far better than Halo 3. The inclusion of Space battles was a nice and refreshing touch, they look engaging and help spice up the gameplay. While, I was disappointed by the foot they've shown, I did my research and I know that that was only the very beginning of the game and Bungie have stated that there are other surprises in the game.

It still looks more interesting than any other FPS coming this Fall, but footage from R.A.G.E. and Bullestorm impressed me more.

So..... What are your thoughts?



I think you're a cynic.

You just noticed?



I have never played a Halo game (although I own all of them except the DLC  that became a full game). I was not going to get Halo reach even though it is technically $39.99  (with Amazon's $20 gift card)  however when I saw the space battle I pre-ordered it. Thats how much I was impressed.

I thought the first part of the level leading to the Saber (if it's really the first part) was extremely short and seemed extremely easy for some reason. The backdrops and everything looked amazing though. The planet is really getting ripped to shreds!

I must say that the space combat part really got me off my chair though! I seriously wasn't expecting a Spartan in space, Wing Commander/Star Fox style. They must include an online mode for this!



Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Watch my insane gameplay videos on my YouTube page!

There isn't ant multi-player for the Space Combat, that scenerio is only playable once throughout the campaign.

Damnit. Oh well... at least Firefight 2.0 will keep me distracted for a long time.

No more spoilers tho please!

To be honest?  We barely saw ANYTHING.  They're keeping a TON under wraps.  Showing us the space combat was just enough to let us know that they're cooking up some surprises.

There is still plenty of reason to get excited.

Reach is going to be glassed by the Covenant in the end.
