**Official** HALO REACH thread
- Thread starter STICK
- Start date
Ok. I didn't read thru the thread. Last time I played halo was halo 3 and i beat every single halo since its introduction on the first xbox. My question is, is it just me or did this game regress? The graphics are "PC-ish" choppy and not as smooth. What's up with the COD type conversations before hitting a enemy phase. I can definitely feel a difference with gameplay compared to the past halos. Maybe it takes time to get use to but this never happened to me with any halo game but for right now this game fell off like the Game. "Hate it or love it"
Its just you the game is better it has some of the same elements of halo 3 when its classic slayer, the added perks, Jetpack, Hologram, Fast running, Camo, Shield. The graphics are better than halo 3's trust that, I used to play it a lot too. Get used to the controls. Got to Relearn it. The maps are better too, if you played all the halo's I don't see how it has regressed lol. You talking about campaign?
Armored Core. Shooting a helicopter/mech/tank/ an entire planet with a grenade launcher and flying away was a standard for the series.
Now I have some questions for the Halo masters.
1. How long is the campaign for Halo Reach? You're a master so you probably have experience with it. My experience with Halo is playing Halo 3 for like 45 minutes before I took it back to GameStop.
2. I HATE multiplayer. Do I have to play multiplayer to unlock more armor, weapons, gear, etc?
3. Can I pick this game up and play it without knowing anything about the Halo canon/storyline or do I need to play all the other games?
Let me know.

Hmm interesting. I might have to check it out.
1. On normal difficulty, the campaign can be anywhere from eight to ten hours I would say. It might take longer for someone not versed in FPS games.
2. You gain credits, which are used for armor, from pretty much anything you do in Halo: Reach. The amounts vary, and a lot of credits can be gained in MP or by completing daily and weekly challenges. Challenges are in all gametypes. in short, playing MP will get you credits faster, but it isn't required. Keep in mind that the armor "upgrades" are strictly cosmetic and have no effect on in-game play.
3. Reach is actually a perfect place to start. It takes place just before the events of Halo: Combat Evolved. If you were so inclined, you could pick up with CE right after finishing Reach. Knowing canon from the other games helps a lot, but I don't think it's necessary to understand the storyline.
