No, I think Halo 3 was what Halo 3 should have been. I think Reach is going to be Reach.

@boj4ngles: I thought the set-pieces in Halo 3 were a bit better than Halo 2's, I found the non-scripted Scarab battles (Well, not as totally scripted as it was in Halo 2) were exhilarating and played almost like a FPS Shadow of Colossus. However, it was dragged down by the fact that were you fighting Brutes and you never fought the Elites, the Brutes don't hold a candle to the Elites. The Elites are thankfully being brought back in Reach, more alien than ever with their far more vicious look and the fact that they speak their own language again.

I hope Bungie doesn't fail to create believable and memorable characters like they did with Halo 2 & ODST (I did like Buck and Dutch though). When I see one member or the entire Noble team sacrifice their life (Or maybe they won't die, they'll just be "missing in action".), I want to feel an impact from it. I felt no impact to Miranda's death in Halo 3, I I felt a little towards Sgt. Johnson's death. I don't expect storytelling on the same level as Mass Effect, but hopefully it will offer a personal and intimate character driven story almost as good or just as good or even better than Half-Life 2's. Bungie are doing something interesting with Noble Six though, making you a new member to the team, where you are essentially a vessel for Six and it's no more apparent with the first-person view cut-scene of Six putting on his helmet.

I also want to feel impact for the destruction of Reach, since Bungie have been touting that Reach is the primary character of the story. They wanted to create a real, living, breathing, and believable world that you can be immersed in. When I witness the destruction of Reach in the game, I want it to make me to remember Reach.

Judging by the hours I spent with the beta, no, probably not.

@DoctorOptimist:
Well don't worry dude, I'm sure that Reach will be awesome. I loved all the Halo games (even Halo Wars) and I only nitpick at them cuz it's fun to argue :)

But I swear if there's a love triangle in Noble Squad I might throw my controller at the wall!

@Kombat: I was mostly referring to the single-player, but the beta actually played differently from Halo 3. It had it's problems (It's a beta afterall), but it still offered the best multi-player experience for consoles I've had in years. It was far more balanced than Halo 3, it took more skill and didn't spoon feed the player as much.

@boj4ngles: There's a hint for romance between Carter and Kat, as in Kat's background states that she has fierce loyalty towards her commander. I hope there's a tasteful and non-cheesy chemistry between them. Hopefully a better love relationship than what was between Buck and Dare, which wasn't really cheesy, as much as it was extremely underdeveloped. I also hope there aren't any corny action movieesque one-liners. Then again, Marcus Lehto did state that the characters weren't corny, I just hope he knows what the definition of corny is.
