A decent score but what is sad is they gave Halo 3 a 9.8/10 So they basically think Halo 3 is better then Halo Reach.
And the fact that they rated MW2 over Halo Reach is just a pure insult.

I know this is going to sound biased, but GI gives 10's to PS3 Games. seriously. Look at the list provided. they really do have a thing for PS3, and they literally dislike Halo. No one in the office plays the game hardcore, and no one was actually excited for the games release. Just saying, that score is an actual shock to me. I'm almost certain Halo Reach deserves a 10/10. Looking at how well the AI plays, and how well the multiplayer (Forge, FireFight, then actual multiplayer!?!?), GI better have an actually LISTED reason for taking of .5

How do you know it's an insult? Have you played Halo Reach? Do you know it's better than MW2? Also, scores typically are one man's subjective opinions. Don't let it get to you so much.
@ reidlosdog
How do you know that no one in the office plays the game hardcore or that anyone was actually excited for the games release. Especially figuring that it made the cover last month. And how are you so certain that Reach deserves a 10/10?
I mean seriously, a 9.5 is a really good score. Why is everybody freaking out so much? And why don't we wait until everybody has had a chance to play it before we complain about the score.

Because besides sitting around all day looking at numbers, I actually study reviewers. In a podcast themselves, GI has stated that Halo has never been a big game in the office. Halo Reach DID NOT make the cover last month. What you saw is called a STICKER. Batman Arckham City made the cover. GI did not put that as the cover, GAMESTOP did. GI would never put a Xbox exclusive on their cover, just not like them.

Wow, you claim that you study reviewers and then make a bullshit claim like that. Reach didn't make the cover because the only game that ever makes the cover of GI is a game being REVEALED for the first time in the issue. Not a game coming out. When Reach was first revealed it graced the cover of GI's mag in February of this year. Since then Gears of War 3 made the cover in June's issue when it was revealed. The only PS3 exclusive to make the cover this year has been Infamous 2. And Batman Arkham CIty was put on the cover last month because, surprise surprise, it was a world exclusive revealing of the game.
