Not to sound like some sore fanboy.

Reach destroys previous Halo games. And is the best MP shooter on consoles right now. It's rediculous how much this game has. And it's gonna Meta as the lowest of the Halos? ( Not including ODST ).

Something is seriously broken.

All my friends are Halo lovers. And everyone of us agree it's by far the best Halo.

I guess the 15 mill LT sales will say the real score though. Consumers who stay with a franchise for 4 games and continue to come back shows a quality like no other.

To use loving something as justification that somethiing is inherently good is broken thinking.

Halo 1 2 and 3 scored well because the reviewers like Halo. Halo Reach is the best of the bunch.

It's plain stupid to have a website state a game is the best FPS experience. And then give it an 8. There are 2 reviews that have done with Reach on Meta. Yet the same site gave MW1 and 2 a 9? But yet they say Reach is better.

Yes reviews are broken.

Any Halo fan cannot understand how much better Reach is than previous games unless they have played it. The set pieces are rediculously good with the sheer amount of enemies and carnage of war going on.

After playing it extensively, it's laughable to see the meta.

I'm just quouting your words, bub.  Just because there are I and others Iknow who love Nintendo doesn't mean we are all right and everyone else are all wrong.  It would strong imply that we might be bias for Nintendo just as is it reasonable that you and also those who love Halo are bias for Halo therefore having issues with a "low" score.  This clouds the judgment because what you call broken is simply the natural progression of game ratings.  The original Pitfall for the Atari 2600 received a 4 out of 5 stars (80%) from Joystick magazine in the early 80's, one of the better game of its time.  If that game were never release then and was introduced as something new today offered at almost full price, no way it'd receive something as high as 80% and probably get laughed at.  Get over the "low" rating, bub.  With as great as the 360 has been doing lately, you'd figure SEVERAL 360 fans would have more than enough good reasons to not let difference of opinions get to them.  This is ovbiously not the case.  Quite telling.

I don't see how you can take the dissatisfaction of a few diehards and use it to make this statement so matter of factly. There have been plenty of 360 fans that are praising the game and not giving a shit about the meta. I don't give a shit about the meta. 



I LOVE paying for Xbox Live! I also love that my love for it pisses off so many people.

Thank you for the correction, and I do apologize the unintentional vast generalization.  I should have stated "several 360 fans."  Thanks for bringing that to my attention.

Installing it, now!  Hope it lives up to the reviews/hype.  I didn't even plan on getting this game so soon.  I was more than happy with Valkyria 2 and Metroid Other M.

On topic, I expect a 94% on Meta based on a score I pulled entirely from my ass.  Don't touch it!

Reach isn't even on your Gamertag...

Have you played it?

So far I've played a few campaign missions, did a bit of matchmaking, and even some firefight... I have to say that in my opinion this is by far the best Halo game yet.  As soon as I stop sucking ass in multiplayer i'm sure i will think it's even better...



Wow, nothing under an 8, very impressive.

My friend just bought it and said its good so far.

Respect for your reply.

Yea I'm pretty surprised too that it hasn't gotten anything below an 8 yet, although I'm guessing its only a matter of time that some small review site gives it a 6 for the hits.
