My Reach distaste aside, New Alexandria had a brilliant atmospheric opening.

I remember trying not to get hype when that showed up in the pre-release trailers.

Spoiler

Reach was a 6/10, would have been a 7/10 if the campaign didn't conflict with pre-existing lore so much.

5 at best
Only because Jorge is my waifu

Everything else...
no

If it didn't contradict TFoR and have shit characters besides Jorge, it'd easily be one of the best Halo games.

If you like armour abilities
Retarded ally AI
Bad characters
No plot development
Contradictions galore

Then it's pretty fun

It offers the best customization

Not even up for debate
It's only gotten worse

and the definitive version of Firefight

And a less enjoyable, hand holding experience.
Credit farmers jetpacking across the map spamming fuel rods isn't fun.
ODST's Firefight was an actual survival mode. Only downside was the lack of a matchmaking for it.

You have to give credit though, Emile's character was very consistent. The ending to his story was very nice in that sense.

Consistently stupid.

Playing with shields and jetpacks was fun for taking on waves of Covenant and feeling at least evenly matched. Shieldless/sprint only was best for survival.

At that point I might as well be playing ODST.

He lived as a hardass and died as a hardass. I would have been mad if they gave him a heel-face-turn "muh justice" ending or some shit. If they had to make a mediocre story, they made it solidly mediocre.

He was a complete edgelord, and died stupidly.
Stop being a cocky twat and look at your radar like any competent soldier would you skull faced bellend

Reach would have been so much better if Skull Face replaced Emile on Noble Team.

i wish my half-life 2 review blew up like this one did

If you disagree you like fat balding men in a sexual manner.

1. Reach's Firefight offered both superpowered Spartan mode and sniveling human-tier mode; ODST only offered the latter. Reach's is better for its more diverse options and having matchmaking.

2. Never contended that Emile is a shitty character, just saying that they still could have managed much worse than they did with his character. If they had to make him a tryhard, at least he stayed a tryhard instead of a "last minute change of heart" bullshit.

But half of your thread has absolutely nothing to do with Halo CE, or this review.

that's fine--it's all healthy discussion that came about as a result of the review, no?

it's just entertaining to watch it unfold from a more neutral standpoint i guess

and sniveling human-tier mode

Even Legendary isn't that difficult since most maps have good starting cover and an infinite ammo cabinet.

Was mainly talking about no shields, low jumping, and weaker melee. The things that primarily distinguished ODST's gameplay from Reach.

If you knew how that turned out, then you know that I don't into.

Also Das isn't bald last I heard, just crew-cut.

I think that if he didn't hop in after the last few pings, he won't now.
