Got the game, and was surprised that it was still selling for $35 used. However upon further review it is still selling massive amounts and both Wal-Mart and the local Gamestop were out of new copies all together because it was doing so well locally.
First impressions are:
-Some graphics took a hit, such as weapon images, however the maps look beautiful in comparison.
-After beating Halo 3 on normal then Heroic I was feeling good about myself to play REACH on Heroic. Bad move, the amount of enemies and the damage done by their weapons makes Heroic on REACH = Legendary on 3.
- The mass upgrades to your spartan make this a multiplayers dream, however you must earn money to buy upgrades and stylization features, you start the game with 5k, but most upgrades are 10x that much so you have to play alot offline and on to earn it.
-You do not play as John, even though you can unlock his voice this spartan is one of your own creation from the armor color down to the type of helmet you wear (once you have the money to buy it)
-Havent played online yet, but with how epic single player is in comparison to 3, i plan on starting this weekend.
- Only issues I have so far are the auto-leveling volume still makes it hard to hear conversations if your not directly looking at the person and that the change in reload button is annoying as all get out. I know i can change it in the hud menu, and i probably will soon because I keep rifle-butting my team mates when i go to reload.
- Some of the new weapons, like the needler rifle are just freaking awesome. Also expanded clip capacity on the USMC Riffles help keep them useful for longer before you have to ditch them for the covenant arms.
- Vehicle controls still take both sticks, and is still boarish and unresponsive at times.
--------------------
If anyone else has reach let me know, maybe some time we can team up on campaign (if it allows it via net and not just local lan) or play in some death matches.
