After nearly a year is Halo Reach still worth picking up for multiplayer? Picking up a 360 tomorrow and deciding what to get and havn't heard much on Reach since launch. It doesn't seem to have the same staying power on public consciousness as Halo 3 did was wondering if that reflected in the online as well.

The community is still going very strong and Bungie are constantly updating and adding game modes. Sure, why not get it.

It's still going strong.

Cool thanks guys.

Are you getting a 4gb 360? If so you won't be able to play co-op. Also I suggest Halo Wars if you want a strong community...

Halo fans are the most fanatic online players. You don't have to worry about that.

Do you like Halo? If you like Halo, buy it.  I'ts like Halo x 4, at least.

They release map packs constantly, whoever they is. That is a good game! I think you'd be able to play it forever.

Absolutely my man.

I enjoyed both the single player campaign and the online experience, and plan to fire it back up in the near future. A good game that you'll get a lot out of!

Hell yes, why wouldn't it be?

I still need to pick this one up.  This and Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit.

No. Bungie's left it to die out by not fixing anything. As a Halo fan, Reach is horrible. But still, you might like it considering that you're probably not a hardcore fan of the Halo series like I am.

I never really liked Halo at all but Reach was one of my favorite games from last year. The ending is really great.

Its Halo so of course its community is still going strong. That game will continue to stay strong until whenever the next Halo game comes out, and maybe even longer depending on its quality. Theres not much talk about Reach now since forge is no longer new and Call of Duty is the new popular franchise to love or hate.

The community is definitely still there.  I play at least once a week and the lobbies fill up nice and quick for most of the playlists.

It's still worth it but you're gonna get destroyed the first couple of matches

Reach is the best Halo game since CE, and definitely has the best multiplayer of all the Halo games.

If you like Halo then it's well worth picking up and the Reach community is still one of the most active and thriving game communities on the 360.

The single-player campaign is pretty good (much better than ODST), so I'd recommend it for that. 

As a non-Halo fan, I enjoyed Reach.  Just set your 360 to mute everyone except friends when playing online and you will have an enjoyable experience.

Yeah, I still play a few online matches or play through a single player level (with scoring on) every week (just about my only gaming I do actually).

this.  people are REALLY good at halo (surprise!)

Definitely still worth picking up.  Just make sure you have some MS points as well for the map packs.

Totally. Halo Reach is a fully featured game that's well worth the price of admission. 

Nearly a year? Dude hasnt it only been like 7 months? There is still a bunch of people playing it and if Im not mistaken they released a new map bak about a month ago and I think they still have plans on making more :)

It's totally worth it, even for just single player alone. I don't play multiplayer much anymore, or even play the game that much but when I hop on it is just as much fun as the first time I did. Which is more than I can say about most of my Xbox titles.
