No no, Halo games are not really overrated except for those who don't play them. 

And Halo Reach is gonna be the best Halo ever so it can't possible be overrated.


I have played and beat every Halo game besides ODST. and Halo 2 is one of the most over rated pieces of crap in history.

Halo 3 however to me was pretty damn good.

There's always a few people who have played them and think they are overrated but the vast majority doesn't think so.

I don't get why people hate Halo 2 so much...it was my second favorite Halo.

Same here. Halo 2 was the firs time ever I played a Halo game on my friend's Xbox and it was so good that it got me into playing Halo CE on PC. Then I realised Halo 3 was better than both this gen and now Reach is better than all three combined :D

I think the embargo lifts on Sept 11th because that's when IGN's review comes up so that's pretty much a good indication of when to expect Reach reviews.

And I believe that IGN will give Reach a 9.5 due to their new Review Point System. If it was their old one, it would be 9.7

Yes I do believe Halo Reach is going to be the best Halo ever beating Combat Evolved.

Metacritic wise it's gonna be on 95 as the highest metacritic rated Exlcuisve for X360.


I'm seeing a 10 coming from IGN.

I'm thinking Meta of 96 at the lowest, 98 at the highest. So I'll take the middle ground and say 97.
