Microsoft: "Halo Reach will be the biggest game of 2010"

Everything is over-rated...

That's not always the best move to make because you're putting more pressure onto your team to actually make that game the biggest game of the year. Whatever the case, this upcoming Halo better have some interesting features.

Missed this, around the time this comment went out, the game was already finished, they were, and currently are, debugging the game.

Well, that's the thing that's usually to be expected from the Halo Game series, considering the history of games such as Halo, Halo 2, Halo ODST, and other games like that.

As one who played the beta for almost 2 weeks straight, for at least 100+ hours those 2 weeks, and missed school for 2 weeks to play, I can say that, 1) I have no life, and 2) The gameplay is awesome.

Well I usually find Gameplay and playability to be the most important in a game. story's still important, but Gameplay beats it in my opinion.

The game's completely won me over.

The new firefight looks great with all of the new options and setting you can change, but my favorite things is the option to have a multiplayer versus version of Firefight. In it, you can be the Spartans against the Elites, trying to kill as many Covenant soldiers and earn the most points, and the Elites against the Spartans, trying to stop the Spartans from getting points by defending your fellow soldiers and depleting the Spartan's lives quickly.

Then there's the new forge 2.0 with it's slew of new features along with Forge World, the largest map in any Halo game, including Death Island on Halo PC. To give you a sense of how big it is, part of the map is the Gulch from Blood Gulch, and it's less than 1/5th of the entire map. I'd tell you more, but I'd rather just post this ViDoc:
