10. Fifa / Gran Turismo Replay Systems
Overshadowed By : Theatre Mode
Replay systems came way before Halo's theatre mode. Back in football games and racing games..but none did it like the revolutionary and innovative 'Theatre Mode' back in Halo 3. Fifa replay systems had years to innovative and improve, But here we have a system that goes beyond what Fifa or racing games replay system can offer. Theatre Mode allows you to watch your online or campaign or custom games or firefight games from any angle, any viewpoints or even free cam. Take screenshots and record clips the way you want to. Do you hate it when you score a spectacular goal and you accidently press start to the kick off? Then you press replay again and shows the kick off? Well no worries Halo's theatre mode keeps a history of upto 25 recent games. So you can never miss a spectacular kill or awesome moment where every it is. Theatre mode is returning in Halo Reach. But so far Bungie haven't unvieled if they will be implementing any improvements in it. But you can see the influence it had on the gaming industry with Uncharted 2 taking the idea on board and recently Call Of Duty : Black Ops.
9. Assasins Creed
Overshadowed By : Assassinations
Assasins Creed a game about assasins...how could it be possible for Halo Reach to top it? With brutal assasinations, which make Altair and Ezio blush. Read this quote from Bungie...
" According to animation producer Matt Richenburg, all told there are over forty custom assassinations packed into the shipping product, most multiplayer, some specific to campaign. " Bungie Weekly Update 8/13/10
You heard right over forty assasinations....below were just a handful from the beta.
8. Mario Kart
Overshadowed By : Race Gametype
What racing in Halo?! Yep it also has racing too. Bungie has incorporated a full racing playlist...combined with user created maps and gametypes racing will take off in Halo like no other. What replaces the red shells and powerups of Mario Kart? Simple Spartans can hop on the back of the mongooses and unleash variety of Halo weaponary on other unsuspecting racers. With the addition of live landmines to dodge alot of fun is to be had.
7. RPG Games
Overshadowed By : : Overwhelming amount of customization and settings
RPG games are known to be long games which last for 50 hours and offer deep amount of customization of characters alike.But with Halo Reach the replay value is of 5 years. Customization in armoury is extensive and playing with staggering amount of settings to adjust just how exactly you want to play the game.
6. Little Big Planet
Overshadowed By : Forge World
Little Big Planet a great game. Offering alot of customization. But with Halo Reach this level of customization is found only in part of its game....yes Forge 2.0. Its Little Big Planet but in HD 3D! Making your own maps and gametypes makes you wonder if Little Big Planet is a retail game as Forge is a part of a bigger game. Share Create Enjoy! Who knows if your map is good enough it will come into matchmaking online approved by Bungie! Little Big Planet 2 is looking stellar.
5. Call Of Duty : Black Ops
Overshadowed By : Space Warfare
Call of Duty Blacks Ops had a good showing at Microsoft E3 booth where they showcased helicopter gameplay.. was very cool from the view of the cockpit...where as Halo has been doing aerial combat for a long time now...but Reach had went to the next level...they literally had reached for space!
4. Left For Dead
Overshadowed By : Firefight 2.0
Left For Dead a very fun and chaotic game , Killing zombies has never been so much fun. But with Firefight 2.0 boasting the level of customization to the users that will leave it Left For Dead. Do you want Hunters only in Left for Dead..well you can't..but can in Firefight 2.0! You can choose exactly what enemy types you want to fight and even how they behave and to what weapons you have in your disposal. Endless customization. In addition with Infection mode a popular Halo 3 game mode, not yet revealed but confirmed in Reach..it will be very interesting if Bungie improve upon infection or even let player zombies play with Flood models!
3. Hack & Slash Games
Overshadowed By : 60 AI on screen at once
Hack & slash games have always boasted about the amount of enemies on screen at once...but these AI are brainless and button bashing will get rid of groups of enemies with ease. Halo Reach is going to have 60 AI ( suppose to have 40 AI, But updated ) Halo AI is one of industrys best and are not scripted to path finders or events. They will even use vehicles in a open enviroment..We haven't seen this in action yet...but just imagine in first person view fighting..60 AI at once....HOLY.
" We put a new level of detail system into our AI system as well ... we put up to 60 AI in a scene. We could only do 20 before. So now we have tons of characters out there, there's all kinds of fun things to do in the sandbox as you play through the game as a result." Marcus Lehto
2. Games With Stat Tracking
Overshadowed By : Superior Stat Tracking
No where else you will find the amount of stat tracking anywhere else in games not even GTA stats page can compare. From in game pre game stats to Bungie.net , a world of stats to all the games you play in your lifetime and stored on Bungie.net. With stats on how you play, what weapons you use most, KD ratios , heat maps...you can basically do scientific research on how you play In Halo Reach.
In addition to arena league tables and seasons.
1. Blu-Ray
Overshadowed By : Sheer Amount of Content found on a measely Xbox 360 DVD
You would think that a 50 GB disc will have large amount of game content due to the disk space for developers to play with.. why haven't we seen this yet? With Xbox 360 disc with around 9gb of space...How did Halo Reach fit that amount of content within a single disc...and having more content then Blu-Ray games to this date?

Do you agree? I doubt many will, but still gives you a good idea of how much Halo Reach has to offer.
