I love how they are bragging that reach's firefight has matchmaking! Instead of appologizing that ODST was missing this very obvious, very basic function.

Its nice to see a lot more positive reactions to Reach after E3. Of course, there are the fools who just love to troll.

Might just have to buy a 360 and seal this game inside the disc drive.

After not being a fan of the ODST firefight mode, I'm hoping this try on Reach make things better.

At this point, I think the haters and skeptics have reached a level of pure indulgence in the way they go out of their way to plaintively shit all over Halo or to let everyone know "I don't care about Halo any more yet still go to Halo-related media to post about how much I don't care." This saddens me greatly, but at the same time, I guess it means that people still, in fact, give a shit about Halo. A lot. :)

Looks awesome, but did they really need to have the shot of the brutes in the beginning shooting each other in the ass with bazookas?

Looks quite Halo. I'm not seeing the huge leap in graphical fidelity that some people are mentioning on podcasts, etc., but it may just be the video.

@Lingxor: Indeed they did add matchmaking, and that is awesome.  You can also make custom firefight games deciding what  shows up in each wave, round and set. Change up skulls and all'a dat!

Looks good, but I was never too interested in Firefight. Fighting endless waves of AI isn't half as fun as competing against skilled human opponents. Though, if they decide to ditch Matchmaking achievements in favor of Firefight achievements, I'll be happy.

Using the term fanboy when you're obviously one yourself doesn't make much sense.  For one, you have a blue name and have no 360 account tied to your profile.  Chances are you've never even played the game and are posting purely out of spite. 

But my biggest issue with the likes of COD and Bad Company, etc, is that all the events are completely scripted.  Each time you play through the campaigns, you get exactly the same experience.  Once you've played it once, there's no reason to do so again.
 
Halo doesn't rely on this, and instead uses very advanced A.I. for it's enemies in big open battlefield.  It means every fight can turn out different every time you try it and different tactics can work during different situations.  When you add co-op into the mix, it gives you a totally unmatched expierence.  Halo didn't just becomee popular because of "blind fanboys" and if you think they're the only ones keeping the franchise afloat then you're either a blind fanboy, or just plain stupid.

Or hey here's an idea. It's possible to like all three? Or have different opinions then you're own? Go stick your head in the oven troll.

So done with Grunts, write them the fuck out of Halo games. I don't need "comedy" enemies in my shooters.

The reason it didn't have matchmaking was that it would have taken too much time to implement, but be happy that it's in Reach now :)

They need to admit that Brutres are one of the worst additions to any series and retcon them out the fiction.
