I have to admit im not as big a gamer as I use to be and that may be due to getting married (insert funny face here) and this is my 2 blog on Giant Bomb the first one being about some tosser on Xbox live, so please excuse me being behind on the whole Halo Reach thing. So Halo Reach is it better and as ground breaking as the games before it…in a word no. Is it still a good game! Yes. I have to admit after playing the demo I was not overly impressed and thought that I would just by pass this game. So I managed to pick it up for a ten pounds, after trading in a few games and where the story mode is a little weak in places I found myself loving the multi player mode, being able to buy armor gave me a reason to work for the credits rather then just boosting up my rank. I did not miss a thing from Halo 3 like the duel weapons; I think they would be pointless in this game in honesty.

I have been enjoying the modes and new maps, SWAT can be a pain in the ass, but nothing is more satisfying then getting a triple kill with head shots. As much as I enjoy that I personally think that this is not the best game “story” wise for the Halo series and wished for something with a little more punch for my buck. I found the button lay out to be a pain, (yes I did change it back to the Halo 3 settings) so where some parts of this was weak, it was worth it for the Multi Player alone.

So anyway that was just my thoughts, nothing to in depth (read into that what you will) just thought I would share.

For me there's just something fun about it that I can't put my finger on. 

I also really like the variations in multiplayer. One can play for hours on end and not see the same map/gametype combination twice. I can understand how this would bother serious fans who have an affinity for certian match-types but for me it will seriously delay my getting bored of it.
