Yes it does! the matchmaking is really addictive!

How can matchmaking be addictive? Matches can be addictive, but matchmaking? Maybe i understand something wrong here, but if you say matchmaking, you think of the stuff, that puts you together with other people to start a game???

If im correct and anyone understands the shit i just said then :

dedicated Server > any kind of matchmaking

Thats why Cod 4 at the pc > Cod 4 at the console

If you dont know what I mean then you fail

I've been playing more of the campaign and it's quite fun. I'd give it an 8.5 so far.

Yeah, the campaign is good. But its not amazing, to be honest I never liked Halo campaigns that much anyway. The MP and FireFight is the real meat of the game

Anyway good for Reach i actually like the look of it, its about time Halo had some space battles. After all, thats the main reason the humans were losing the war because although they won quite often on the ground, they were gettin thumped in space.

The user reviews seem to be ok aswell, even with the troll reviews. Gotta love troll reviews they have the worst reasons for hating a game. Killzone 2 got alot of troll reviews and i quote

"i hate the shitty graphics, i mean c'mon people lets b serious, it looks like friggin pack man and the gameplay is like putting an elephant dick in your throut, impossible, no i do not have a ps3, and this doesn't help me, i,m glad with my 360, ps3 sucks major balzzzzzz"

Author : "guywhohateskillzone"

dude what the fuck is wrong with destructoid? they were the only ones man enough to give ffxiii a 4 which someone who's not a ff fanboy could have done yet everyone on every other web pretty much just gave it high scores which were pretty bullshit

True, but they tend to go against the grain just to get page views, i mean they gave Deadly Premonition a perfect 10 while Heavy Rain (a much more polished game) gets a 7 for fucks sake

Reach is pretty awesome the gameplay is addicting, the online is amazing (hate playing as elites though) I don't get why everyone says that its so hard. Have the same people played killzone 2 in elite mode.

After playing more, the campaign is getting a little frustrating. Multiplayer is fun, but I get bored playing a lot of it at once. I tried the Forge World and it was a lot smaller than I thought.

The game is incredibly underwhelming. It's fun, and I see why people like it, but I'd give it an 8, and I actually somewhat regret buying it.

I feel that way sometimes. One month after I bought Red Dead Redemption, I was so mad at myself for buying it..

I felt the same way with Red Dead Redemption as well, but I actually did get into that game and ended up loving it, which is why I think I'm going to hold onto Reach for a little bit. Most of the fun I had in Halo 3 was with the awesome custom maps. I'll give the creative folks a few months to whip up some awesome maps and gametypes.

felt the same way about Lost Planet 2

So far aside from ODST, this game is averaging lower then the prior main Halo games.

which is odd because this is supposed to be Bungie's last hurrah and because of the fact they put every resource they had into Reach

Well actually, it is better than Halo 3, a lot better, Expectations for Halo Reach were much higher so there was a lot more scrutiny in the reviews. And technically, it isn't actually a main Halo game, sort of a spin off really.

I think that the jump from Halo 3 to Reach was alot bigger than Halo 2 to Halo 3. The expectations for Reach were much higher because it was Bungie's last hurrah and they put every resource they had in to the game. Well many of the reviewers said that the only thing missing from Reach was a 4 on the boxart and because Reach was basically a main entry into the series. LOL you can't put Reach into the same catagorey as ODLC (just had to ) or Wars

Yes you can, because Master Chief is the protagonist, not Noble 6. Also, there was no "Halo" in Halo Reach.

Spinoff - Media spin-off is the process of deriving new radio programs, television programs or video games or even novels from already existing ones. Spin-offs work with varying degrees of success.

That's what Reach is. A "4" wouldn't work because it doesn't continue the series.

In all this, are you serious?
Reach is just a spin-off? In Devil May Cry 4, Nero was the protagonist, yet it wasn't a spin-off right.

9 times out of 10, you wouldn't place Reach with ODST or Wars.
It's the next Halo Shooter. End.

Didn't Microsoft say:

''Reach is Halo 4 in all but the name.''

Actually, if you played far enough into Devil May Cry 4, you would know that Dante is also the protagonist, and you actually play as him for the second half of the game.

ummmm in MGS 2 you play as Raiden for most of the game and there's still a "2".

Just because Reach fits the description of a spinoff that doesn't make it one.

MGS 3 is a prequel to the whole MGS series and although it doesn't continue the series it adds to it and is a main entry just like Reach. I'd also like to add that even MS treated Reach as if it were a main entry

Dude, GTFO. Lol. Trying to prove a point!
Also, SPOILER: You play with Nero more than you do Dante, I beat it about 3-6 times.

Dante is still the protagonist though. I beat that shit like 5 times and got all the achievements; which were ridiculous btw.

No they're not. You're looking at the franchise the wrong. Just because they don't have Solid Snake as the lead character, doesn't mean it's a spin off. They are all part of the mains stream story line of the MGS universe.
