    I guess that in all Halo games the first couple of missions are always boring. Not much happened in what I watched but I have to say the environmental graphics are quite spectacular.

    @ashbash159: That's just how Halo is. It is a slow paced game compared to COD. It is sort of boring to watch in parts but a lot of fun to play.

    The first couple missions have always been my favorite. Probably cause the later missions are all flood levels and I fucking hate the flood. Fighting the covenant is always fun though, so this should be awesome. Hopefully there isn't one of those plain horrible missions that these games always have.

    I wouldn't be surprised if Jeff scored it 3 or 4 stars. He wasn't very enthusiastic about it in the podcasts. Even if the game scored a 5, there's a big possibility that the review will ensue flame arguments between the Halo fanatics and the Halo haters.

    5 out of 5, I'd bet. GB Crew are not the biggest Halo fans but they do recognize the quality of the game, as I noticed for Jeff's Halo 3 review back at Gamespot.

    same. Also, not that i'm biased at all, lol, but it seems like they really put a lot into the package, even more so this time.

    Our publishing tools are only good for posting stuff at the top of the hour, but they specifically said "12:01 EDT." So I'm going to sit here for 60 seconds and then make it go.

    not really. The only people who will complain if it gets a 5 are the haters.

    Wow, wasn't expecting a 4 out of 5 but great score still... 
     
    Still, 4 out of 5 while ODST got a 4 out of 5 is really weird but still, good score nonetheless.

    Yeah. I'm cool with that, and I only got 3rd on comments, even though I was pretty much F5ing constantly.

    @Zereta: I think that's the reason why they have 5 point scale with no 1/2 points. They don't want to compare games by scores.

    Yeah, sounds about right. It'll definitely be a 5 star for me because I am the fan of that series that he is talking about in the review. I won't be putting in as much game time as I will in Reach for many years to come.

    @R3Qui4M: Fair enough, but whatever scoring mechanism you use, chances are, it still leads to comparison. In fact, a simple 5 star rating especially, leads to a lot of comparision. Lets take this review for example. ODST got a 4 out of 5 stars. Halo: Reach got a 4 out of 5 stars. You see that and you're like "Woah?" and if ODST wasn't your cup of tea despite liking all the other Halo games, you might just skip on this as well.  
     
    Comparisons will exist everywhere. Can't stop that. 
     
    Regardless, 4 out of 5 stars is amazing but I guess Reach won't be making GB's GOTY Deliberation list :P

    4 stars!!!! game sucks.  No buy.  Piece of shit bungie you suck.   
     
     
     I'm kidding.  Tuesday can't come soon enough.  What I got from the review, if you like Halo you'll like Reach.  Good enough for me.
