Apparently, MS's announcement was just them getting a few british celebs to go up against some Halo players. Now that is just friggin stupid, at least we got that Campaign trailer.

I wouldn't say it's a spoilerific trailer. I mean, if you know anything about Halo, you know what happens/happened to Reach. So the stuff in the trailer is stuff we already know;
Covenant invades, a lot of humans/spartans will die.

Spoiler tags for consideration (if there are people who don't know what happens).

I have a confession to make: I never beat Halo 1/CE. I got so bored with the campaign that I stopped after a few levels. :(

The campaign was so boring that it nearly put me to sleep when I played it several years ago.

I plan on finishing it before school in September.

EDIT: You guys like the music playing on this page?

Yeah, the first Halo had huge problems with the settings just repeating themselves over and over (like The Maw and The Pillar of Autumn, Two Betrayals and Assault on the Control Room. Oh and every single interior level). Why's it a big deal though? It wasn't known as an enormous franchise back then.

What music?

I thought that was music. I'm at work, so it's almost eerily quiet, and I was like, lol wtf halo music? Nicely done.

Give the campaign another go. It's rather good, and I intend to do so as well.

Yeah, I'm gonna play Halo 1-3 again before Reach. :thumbs up:

I'm on my phone right now mate, I can't hear it. Oh well.

Lol, I love the constant quotes referencing characters from the past three games in the singleplayer achievements.

Also, I agree with Xanthan. I STILL haven't gotten Two For One despite it being out since the game was released. :(

Two for one took me a while. My recommendation, and this is how I did it, is play Oddball FFA, like Lone Wolves. And follow the baller around. You're bound to get at least one that way, seeing as how everyone else should be going after him too. Now, I didn't get the OB'r when I did it, but I did get two chaps who were following him when the popped the corner.

Could anyone help me with post mortem? I usually try to stick people for it but I don't usually get the death from the grave medal.

I have all of the original 1000 GS Halo 3 achievements and a few of the new ones. I got too lazy and lost interest in Halo 3 when CoD4 was released so I never bothered to get 'em all.

I"m glad they are penalizing rage quitters, since if someone leaves, you can get seriously screwed over in ranked matches. Though I also wish you could boot people who haven't done anything the entire match. Like this one time there's a match where this guy hasn't moved or gotten a kill the entire match. So I betray him out of frustration because we are losing since he's basically giving the other team free kills. And I get booted. If I got booted then he's just sitting in front of his tv doing nothing, which is gay. I've heard that people like that are called de-rankers or something, whatever it is, it's really gay.

Yea he was probably deranking. Though it's better to run out and purposely get killed since it makes the process faster than waiting for someone to find you.

I am very pleased with the punishing of ragequitters, and more pleased with them looking at frequent ragequitters, rather than one time offense.

I mean, what happens if I have an emergency, and got leave? Some bad juju happened in the game, and I don't wanna be involved with it?

This is why Bungie is miles ahead of most other game studios. Community support.

So I've decided to switch from Legendary to Limited edition. The flaming helmet and statue just isn't worth the extra money for me. The extra stuff in the limited edition is worth the extra 20 dollars IMO, though.

And I recently watched a firefight video where spartans face off against elites, like others have said, it looks very promising.

With my newly obtained job I'll be able to afford a new gaming laptop, a new xbox, and Halo Reach. In only a MONTH! :D

it`s really funny. but what is the point of team killing (betraying) if it can get you banned?

The point of betraying him was me making the statement to the guy "play the stupid game!". Also, betraying doesn't get you banned from Xbox Live. You can only get booted.

I've realised that I have quite a bit of money to throw around thanks to work so I've preordered the Legendary Edition of this.

It's not that expensive when it comes down to it. It's the same price as me getting a provisional and 2 driving lessons.
