Best review I have seen. I love these scoreless reviews. You can never really give a game a 10 because nothing is perfect so basicly what reviewers tend to do is pick a number between 1 and 10 and slap it behind the 9 for any good game.
It's so depressing watching this after the online servers were shut down. We can still play campaign, firefight and split-screen multiplayer, but without online multiplayer, this game feels like half the game it use to be. At least Halo 3 and Halo: Reach multiplayer lives on thanks to The Master Chief Collection, but it just doesn't feel the same, at least for me.
A friend of mine just called me, planning to finally buy an Xbox just to play Halo: Reach after playing it at a LAN party the other day. Kudos Bungie, took you a few years of awesomesauce to motivate him =D
This game is one of the best games I have ever played. It is exceptional in every way and there are so many things in it. Campaign was awesome, firfight was great, forge is cool, and the multiplayer is just awesome.
@tigershot843 okay .. so its like you are going to have to survive hordes of enemys ( computer ) while also have to survive against attacks from other HALO reach players ? so you have to watch out for computer AND players ?
@MrRodQ Your comment made me smile. It's not about the console you own, it's about seeing what the other guys are doing and trying to make your games better. I wish more people would understand that it isn't about consoles, it's about the games.
Firefight is the klinda game mode I've been wishing a fps would have for about 10 years.. A large variety of enemies with dynamic weapons and the ability to customize what the exact makeup of the enemies are. I haven't played Halo since H2, but FF along with what looks like a great campaign is really making me think about breakin down and getting a 360.
yeah the "birthday party" skull is back. I love shooting grunts in the head and seeing confetti come out and hear young children say "yeah" its awesome.
Still debating whether or not to get this... I absolutely LOVED the campaign in Halo 2, loved the multiplayer in Halo 3 and the forge, but I never got ODST and in all honesty, I'm a noob at multiplayer. This looks just brilliant though; every piece of footage I've seen it looks absolutely staggering!
@poe547 so when u got 3 ppl in the game its 3 spartans + 1 spartan CPU VS 4 convenant CPU and when u got 6 ppl its 4 spartan ppl VS 2 convenant + 2 convenant CPU right ?? so first all the spartans get filled up and rest i CPU ... ??
i'm a ps3 owner and i hope THIS, is a GAME changer. I'm hearing its so feature packed. I hope it influences more complete experiences with Killzone 3 and Resistance 3. i want a crazy list of features on those two
Let me just say i have a PS3 but not a 360(yet) and i love halo. Halo Combat evolved is what got me into first person shooters in the first place and i a buying a 360 for halo 3, odst, and reach because i am a big fan of the franchise.
"Hey guys I got a bag of gummy bears and a case of wine coolers how about we negotiate, instead of wasting all this exhaustive energy fighting and uh, you have the planet and the lame civilians" I think I love you.
dude you have some good ass reviews. Not only do they get dwon to business but their pretty damn funny as well. Do even think about stopping now, theyre only getting better
Please answer, ive been playing a couple of firefight rounds and keep gettintg 165Cr over and over again, while my friends get like 1065Cr. I do most of the work and i just want to know whats wrong.
@Plaskiz no? He didn't receive a reviewer copy from anybody else? Nobody on E3 give away reviewer copy, so you are saying they just gave it to him for free?
Got all the games. No 360. My collection consists of all Limited editions and normals. On all platforms. Bar the mac version of CE mainly cause i'm not spending 100 for another Halo. Why? Cause I love the game. Beautiful collection. Next stop! Get me self another 360!
I kinda agree that halo the first game still have the best campaign mode! I still love halo one and still love reach, but I don't have 360 couse it has no free online and it has the most annoying problem in existence RROD! So I will stick with buying PS3, but that doesn't mean I hate 360 game I love gears 2 and all the halo series! :)
@DenimZero yeah but they havent been properly combined into one game and had the smoothness of call of duty. Besides the name "Halo" is so catchy thats one of the reasons in sold so well. People all around the world know what it is and theres little need to translate Halo (I think)
can someone tell me how he got this game before it was released? I heard it was released september 14 2010, people keep bitching at me saying that this game is not out, how did mark get his hands on it?
@MrRodQ I'm with you on that. I recently sold my 360 to pocket some extra cash and to get a better PS3 than the 40G model, so I'll be missing out on this beauty. I just wish more games would implement the feature of offline multiplayer via botmatches, like what Killzone 2 and the Unreal Tournament series has done. I don't always have access to the luxury of online play because of where I live, and sometimes I just don't feel like hearing people talk shit all the time when I'm trying to have fun.
@Reedoxpoop lol my bad, i guess how thats how much i didn't care about the characters, more proof that i take the reach squad over the master chief team
Best review I have seen. I love these scoreless reviews. You can never really give a game a 10 because nothing is perfect so basicly what reviewers tend to do is pick a number between 1 and 10 and slap it behind the 9 for any good game.
I love your reviews. Always funny, but also always to the most important part: is the game FUN or not! Continue your good work!!
>gummy bears
>wine coolers
Count me in.
The motion blur is a bit bad I don't know if I could get into because it's slightly distracting
this has to be the best Halo game Bungie has ever created! it has basically everything and more from all the other Halo games put into one package!
It's so depressing watching this after the online servers were shut down. We can still play campaign, firefight and split-screen multiplayer, but without online multiplayer, this game feels like half the game it use to be. At least Halo 3 and Halo: Reach multiplayer lives on thanks to The Master Chief Collection, but it just doesn't feel the same, at least for me.
Wow. after seeing your videos this game looks really good! definitely pickin it up tomorrow
Never stop making reviews.........you...are...awesome
Halo Reach looks pretty awesome. I can't wait to see the forge mode for myself!
Another badass review Mark, keep it up man!!!
A friend of mine just called me, planning to finally buy an Xbox just to play Halo: Reach after playing it at a LAN party the other day. Kudos Bungie, took you a few years of awesomesauce to motivate him =D
are the maps for firefight all there at start, or do you have to unlock the maps?
This game is one of the best games I have ever played. It is exceptional in every way and there are so many things in it. Campaign was awesome, firfight was great, forge is cool, and the multiplayer is just awesome.
@tigershot843 okay .. so its like you are going to have to survive hordes of enemys ( computer ) while also have to survive against attacks from other HALO reach players ?

Awesome review! :D and LOL at the gummy bears :P
reach is my personal fav
I never payed an Halo game before other than briefly at parties. I wondering if will be able to understand this if I get it.
thumbs up 4 this reviewer. he in my opinion is the best
Firefight is the klinda game mode I've been wishing a fps would have for about 10 years.. A large variety of enemies with dynamic weapons and the ability to customize what the exact makeup of the enemies are.
I haven't played Halo since H2, but FF along with what looks like a great campaign is really making me think about breakin down and getting a 360.
@RcAntax umm thanks but that didnt need a correction cuz i didnt say who made halo wars i just said it wasnt made by bungie.
yeah the "birthday party" skull is back. I love shooting grunts in the head and seeing confetti come out and hear young children say "yeah" its awesome.
I always enjoy listening to this guy talk. Reminds me of this buff cartoon character.
@Biotasm I think you mean 4 systems. Personal Wii-Station 360 for the win?
@Renegado140 Since when was standing around and healing part of "orginal" shooters?
i love it when we were getting endure and it said
"LAST MAN STANDING!"
You didn't even mention the awesome forge mode and custom games options
Still debating whether or not to get this... I absolutely LOVED the campaign in Halo 2, loved the multiplayer in Halo 3 and the forge, but I never got ODST and in all honesty, I'm a noob at multiplayer. This looks just brilliant though; every piece of footage I've seen it looks absolutely staggering!
What's up with the children cheering in between 3:00 and 3:10, lol. Great Review.
@Hazelrat10 yep, called the Concussion Rifle, I think it shoots explosive rounds or something...like a grenade launcher
Looks like CGR is giving Halo a Reach around.
Get it?
@poe547 so when u got 3 ppl in the game its
3 spartans + 1 spartan CPU VS 4 convenant CPU
and when u got 6 ppl its 4 spartan ppl VS 2 convenant + 2 convenant CPU right ??
so first all the spartans get filled up and rest i CPU ... ??
@Ace2989 I am on firefight mode, set the privacy to open, do i have to wait til ppl join?
i'm a ps3 owner and i hope THIS, is a GAME changer. I'm hearing its so feature packed. I hope it influences more complete experiences with Killzone 3 and Resistance 3. i want a crazy list of features on those two
dude,,, I LOVE YOUR VOICE AND HUMOUR! xD
Let me just say i have a PS3 but not a 360(yet) and i love halo. Halo Combat evolved is what got me into first person shooters in the first place and i a buying a 360 for halo 3, odst, and reach because i am a big fan of the franchise.
@rockassman you go to "MatchMaking" on the main menu. Then chose a playlist, and have fun! =D
"Hey guys I got a bag of gummy bears and a case of wine coolers how about we negotiate, instead of wasting all this exhaustive energy fighting and uh, you have the planet and the lame civilians"
I think I love you.
@AirsoftGunsAndBbGuns Go to multiplayer, and select the firefight game mode as your playlist. I think it's under cooprative.
love the ending clip
Does Halo Reach have split-screen story co-op?
This game is amazing. I STILL LOVE YOU BUNGIE!
@Vantazzy Yeah, you can, Bungie's always been big on offline, that's how I played Halo 1, Halo 2, and the majority of Halo 3.
nice to see a review not hanging shit because 'OMG ARMALOKK IS OP!! SRSLY!!'
though, i am gonna say your definately a fan of the series =P
looks amazing cant wait to get my copy
do they still have the covie carbine?
@thunder7110 That's any game on the xbox though?
Will this game be released for the Vectrex
the framerate seems quite unstable for such a high-caliber release
dude you have some good ass reviews. Not only do they get dwon to business but their pretty damn funny as well. Do even think about stopping now, theyre only getting better
i love this game i want its so bad........ thumbs up!!!
Please answer, ive been playing a couple of firefight rounds and keep gettintg 165Cr over and over again, while my friends get like 1065Cr. I do most of the work and i just want to know whats wrong.
2:38 That hunter snipe was sick
how does this compare to halo 3? im gonna go buy a new xbox, and want this game, but im still convinced halo 3 is better..which one to pick?
I can't wait until I get this game. I love Halo.
YAY HAPPY BIRTHDAY SKULL! =D
wooo how did I not see this video when it was uploaded :D
When you killed that Hunter near the end of the video I thought you were going to t-bag him.
LOL awsome review although u do shoot a lot of holograms online XD
@8Corei7 wouldn't it be bungie vs capcom?
@xtr3k1d
xboxs use ati x1900 i believe, its basicly a stronger version of a 7900gtx. a 9600gt or 9800gt could easily max if its optimized properly.
unreal tournament quotes make this game even more awesome
Tomorrow seems so far away, Can't wait!
@Plaskiz no? He didn't receive a reviewer copy from anybody else? Nobody on E3 give away reviewer copy, so you are saying they just gave it to him for free?
Can't wait to play tonight....
sorry for a stupid question, but is this also for pc?
Got all the games. No 360. My collection consists of all Limited editions and normals. On all platforms. Bar the mac version of CE mainly cause i'm not spending 100 for another Halo. Why? Cause I love the game. Beautiful collection. Next stop! Get me self another 360!
man what are u saying u r good at the multiplayer of n sometimes i just watch your videos just for fun dude u rock
@GamerNinjaX why do people never talk about forge is that good?!
1:50
First time i saw a FPS that shows your legs when you look down =D
I REALLY wanna see him do a Halo 4 review, I wanna see what he thinks of 343's take on the Halo universe.
@bvanwag so what about Halo Wars ?
They should start releasing these Halo games on the PC once again. Looks like a great game.
holy you good how long you took man
I kinda agree that halo the first game still have the best campaign mode! I still love halo one and still love reach, but I don't have 360 couse it has no free online and it has the most annoying problem in existence RROD! So I will stick with buying PS3, but that doesn't mean I hate 360 game I love gears 2 and all the halo series! :)
@DenimZero yeah but they havent been properly combined into one game and had the smoothness of call of duty. Besides the name "Halo" is so catchy thats one of the reasons in sold so well. People all around the world know what it is and theres little need to translate Halo (I think)
Im so ready for some reach one more day!
@GirlsAloud01Fan2009 how come you've got it, and you're not playing it?
OMFG! Halo Reach is so awesome. Too Bad that I don't own a XBOX360... well I'll live at my friend's for the next 3 months, being addicted to Halo. :D
can someone tell me how he got this game before it was released? I heard it was released september 14 2010, people keep bitching at me saying that this game is not out, how did mark get his hands on it?
@maxmydog25 Ofcourse. There may be a few references you don't get but yeah, you'll be fine since it's based before the first Halo game.
@halflife103 Yea, i was hoping for it to get better
I've already completed the campaign. I got it 3 days early :)
I have completely loved this game
@SoundmaniacX and yet you watched the whole thing?
I just love how he ends all his reviews with either a Game Over or death. Lol.
@MrCanihazcookie some people have it either buy pirate or for review
coolest armor ability armor lock, most useful ability bubble shield
im not a huge halo fan bu i really want this is it worth 60 bucks?
How do you have this early?
is there a scareb gun easter egg
what do u get if you crush together halo 3 and halo odst? HALO REACH :D
@MrRodQ I'm with you on that. I recently sold my 360 to pocket some extra cash and to get a better PS3 than the 40G model, so I'll be missing out on this beauty.

I don't always have access to the luxury of online play because of where I live, and sometimes I just don't feel like hearing people talk shit all the time when I'm trying to have fun.
Halo: Reach and Mario Galaxy 2 are the best games of the year!
Haven't we seen shooters like this 1million times?
I'm off to play some Team Fortress 2!
@poe547 so is it youVS otherplayers VS CPU
or you+otherplayers VS CPU
@Shhteve its true though, i want FPS developers to take pointers from Bungie. i'm hoping for a better next year
@Reedoxpoop lol my bad, i guess how thats how much i didn't care about the characters, more proof that i take the reach squad over the master chief team
@MrCanihazcookie hes gotten it early from bungie most likely theyve sent halo reach to lots of people that review
@4n1M just saying, but i would think its gonna port to the PC since microsoft now has ownership of it so dont lose hope just yet
