I had to wait a bit to play it, but it's fun so far.

I have Halo: Reach. Haven't been playing it the past week, since I've been busy with Dead Rising 2 and Left 4 Dead's "The Sacrifice" DLC.

As a person who never owned Halo 3 and didn't play its online multiplayer, I like Reach. I enjoy the armor customization you can do (I put a sweet robotic arm on my spartan), and playing with friends is fun. Some of the specific matchmaking modes aren't too fun in my opinion, but overall its a good game. I've heard from Halo 3 fans that its not much different, but I wouldn't know myself.

The online community is as stupid as ever, though. I'm very quick to mute people, assuming I'm not in a party talking to my actual friends.

The idea of Infection is cool (and has done well in other shooters), but it does not translate well for Halo... at all. It turns into a campfest for the humans, whittling down to "how long can all the humans stay in one spot and snipe every infected player with pistols and slaughter up close with the shotgun". It's a bit fun when the humans roam the map (safe havens variant tries to do this, but fails), but pretty much everyone camps the same locations. Not to mention the decision of who gets to be on what team is not always fair (I've played where I was zombie every round, even when I did well).

And as Taji said, everyone seems enamored with it , and it almost always wins majority vote. This makes doing Rumble Pit really unfavorable for me, so I just end up doing Big Team Battle or Team Slayer.

It is a great game. I just started playing it.

its a fun game i must admit

Reach is great. I LOVE forge world.
Forging is my favorite part of all.
But I also like multiteam.
