Six years ago today Reach released. Found this image dump on imgur celebrating so I’m gonna share it: http://imgur.com/gallery/NqUUw
Cheers.
Saw the same post, decided to get a three month membership to play it again for a while.
Still one of my favorite games, specially for:
-GOOD STORY
-Amazing armory, and elites
-Best firefight
-Addictive multiplayer
Halo: Reach is truly underrated. Yeah, Armor Lock was a pain in the -Yoink-… but it couldn’t ruin the whole game for me. The lack of Ranked playlists is just trivial; I played 9,000 games in Halo 3 in just about 2 years, and during that time I had most fun playing Social.
And Halo: Reach had so much to offer. I loved the Campaign, it had a great story, great characters, and I loved that I could play as my own Spartan in the Campaign and see him in the cutscenes. Armor customization in Reach is the best of any Halo game. Firefight is easily the best in the series, with so many awesome customization options. Multiplayer is diverse with a wide selection of playlists and gametypes… although I wish I could play DLC maps more often.
343i really needs to give Reach some more attention. Fix the framerate issues on Xbox One, and make all the DLC maps free. Better yet, include all the maps in a mandatory free update so people neither have to pay for them or download the maps themselves. I already paid for all the DLC myself… I just wanna be able to play it.
I’ve never played a Halo game I didn’t like. Reach certainly isn’t my favorite Halo, but it’s a fantastic game. I still play it often … especially the campaign. I still try to land the assassination jump on the Elite at the beginning of the “Pillar of Autumn” mission and die over and over and my wife yells “no!” every time I respawn because she hears Carter say “Stay low, let me draw the heat. Just deliver that package” 25 times. lol. It also has a great BTB and the best Firefight.

We need a “Reach Anniversary,” it’s a must future release (but don’t make it exclusove for the new XBOX)
I loved Reach I still play it and I really want H6 to be like Reach or H3 becuase those where both really good games. Also Happy Birthday Reach!!!
I still play multiplayer to this day and have a blast. It’s got so much replay value, especially with the challenges and commendations. One of my all time favourite games.

As far as Halo 6 goes, 343i needs to look to Halo 3 on how to design the ideal multiplayer and how to handle DLC, and Halo: Reach for everything else. Lift the Campaign, Firefight, Custom Games, Forge, Theater, Armor Customization, and File Browser from Reach and layer it on top of Halo 3’s multiplayer and map design, and BOOM: you got yourself the perfect Halo game.
Also, 343i really needs to return to Halo: Reach’s art style. The new style they used for Halo 4 and Halo 5 is just awful.
as time goes on an incredible game
I heard something about halo reach two and even something about halo reach anniversary but we’ll see

Four more years before Anniversary … and that’s if we decide we need to remake ever single Halo game. Then what after that? CEA … A? That’s getting a little ridiculous. Let’s stick to the original Xbox games or the original trilogy at most. I’d rather get a new spin off game than just another remaster every few years, to be honest.

I don’t think Reach needs a remake, but I do think Halo 3 and Halo 3: ODST do. Both use the same graphics engine, and it’s good, but it has weaknesses. Weaknesses that are easy to see now that game graphics have come so far.
And imagine the cutscenes…
Halo 3 and odst needs an anniversary reach doesnt .they need to make new halo games instead of renewing all the old 1s
Happy birthday Reach! Can’t believe you’re six already man! XD

So basically you’re saying that two old games need a remaster while also saying that they need to make new ones as opposed to remastering.
I need to get back into Reach.
has it really been that long?
still a really good game
