i kind of agree with gamesradar, the single player campaign after having played it all is definitely great but not as good as halo 3s
Dude are you okay?! Halo 3's campaign was the worst piece of sh*t I have ever played in a video game to date. Repetitive, lame, childish and extremely annoying. Reach offered alot more variety, especially with the armour abilities and the new weapons. Not to mention the awesome story telling. (sm1)

@shyber, if the ban hammer isn't out, you can go online in the meantime and play whatever you want. Something i wanna point out is that the last banhammer was the biggest one we've seen yet. More consoles were banned during that time than ever before. We can't really speculate anything regarding the banhammer that might potentially come during the next few days, or during the release of Black-ops...

Oh and....

Heh thanks. But I can't say I've liked Reach to the point of using its wallpapers :D
Really cool stuff for the Halo Nation though.

the new design of the spartans is very gears of war in itself, their armor looks like the carmine suits from gears with added color patterns

@Chandoo Its not a new desgin!!! :lol:

All those spartans (except Jorge) are rocking the Mark 5 Mjolnir Armor lol....The one we had in Halo 1. They reason they look a bit more bulky is because they have some additional armor parts attached. Some of which we saw in Halo 3 (Multiplayer) as well.

The Gears of War-ish tone about the game is mainly due to the darker story, and the exceptional detailing on the Noble Team characters is because its a more grounded, intimate story and bungie wanted to make the characters stand out and try to have the player appreciate them as the battle progressed....There is alot more attention to the characters this time (y)

Edit:

Oh cool release screens! ^_^

Maybe its just the high poly count making the same models look alot more fatter :lol:

I just realized something lol, major spoilers

Spoiler: show
the beat up helmet you see when you start the campaign is YOUR helmet, not some random spartan helmet for effect, it's the same shot as the very end of the game. I didn't notice it before but after I customized my spartan's helmet a bit and started the campaign to see the intro I noticed the beaten up helmet had changed too

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
