• Reviews around campaign (4.21 of 5)

    Halo Reach

    • Playing 4 player co-op makes the already amazing campaign even better, and Firefight was built with 4 player in mind.
    • Sure the campaign is solid and challenging, but it's not as spectacular as say Halo 2
    • The campaign is crazy,chaninging you from lone wolf to team player back and forth
    • the campaign is very fun like all halo games and you can play local with your buddy for hours and not get bored
    • I first played Campaign on easy so that I could enjoy the story and not feel frustrated by having a hard time on a mission
    • No 4 player split screen in Big Team Battle, the Campaign, or Firefight
    • The campaign is great with a 12-14 hour experience, depending on what level of difficulty you are on
    • The campaign is generally exciting with a large amount of scenery and objectives.
    • The campaign is pretty good, reminded me of the first ever Halo Combat Evolved
    • But anyways, Reach offers a decent campaign, awesome multiplayer
    • The Halo series is known to have some of the best campaigns of any FPS series
    • The campaign is spectacular and the multiplayer is just epic
    • Though not reflective of the original Halo books, this game has an awesome campaign and great online gameplay
    • Sure, no one would miss the campaign, but it's there
    • Freakishly good and immersive multiplayer experience; good sound and music; great graphics (much improvement over halo 3); fantastic campaign AI; armor abilities (especially jetpacks); forge editor
    • I loved the campaign, but the multiplayer is where this title really shines.
    • So the campaign seems to be missing that special something to distinguish itself from it's predecessors, everybody knows the multiplayer is what keeps Halo in your console for years on end.
    • Campaign is great.
    • Start with the campaign: it has an intense storyline, top notch graphics (better than Gears 1, not quite Gears 2 but much better than Halo 3) and incredible characterization, these things all stand out to make a memorable campaign
    • * the "dreaded black screen"( stops everything and respawns everything).campaign:*its a very sad campaign, but it ends with a bang.other:*some armor abilities can get annoying.
    • Love the campaign, and the graphics don't look like they should be on a 360.
    • between the laggy hiccups, the short campaign, and the lack of anything truly unique about this game i was truly upset at how bungie thought this was good enough as the final game
    • And don't get me started on the amazing campaign
    • Surprisingly, Reach has the hardest campaign I've played to date and actually adjusts for difficulty if co-op is used.
    • Campaign was fun for about a day until I finished it on Legendary
    • The single-player and cooperative campaign is very enjoyable
    • The campaign isnt terribly long, but you'll likely enjoy nearly every minute of it.
    • The campaign is fun, much better than ODST
    • The campaign is nice and all, but as always the multiplayer is where it's at in a Halo game.
    • The campaign was appropriate in length and difficulty, for what I wanted anyway.
    • I bought this game mostly to play online with friends and fight other people but the campaign is good as well
    • I must say it is a lot more entertaining with more people, but still a great campaign nonetheless
    • Great campaign, cooperative modes (including the story mode and firefight) and awesome multiplayer
    • Though the overall campaign is not as good as some of the past titles, it is still excellent and is highly recommended
    • This game provides a solid campaign, a replayable firefight mode for any first-person-shooter fan, and a version of online multiplayer that's superior to most games on the market
    • If the campaign isn't enough for you, head on over to the bread-and-butter of Bungie's excellent series, the multi-player, now including tons of customization,options, and a plethora of modes to choose from.
    • This game has everything, good campaign, forge, and tons of fun game types
    • The campaign is the second best of the series, following the masterpiece story that was excellently told in Halo: CE.
    • Finished the campaign on solo legendary and thought i'd be done with it.
    • I thought that the campaign was excellent
    • The game itself is simply great, I love the campaign, which is not the best of the series, but it is enjoyable
    • The campaign was decent and the story was good (as Halo always is) but it really is nothing new.
    • :ghost was nerfedno forge maps in firefight modeNo master chiefAll in all, a creative game that lets you play a great campaign and amazing multiplayer
    • Excellent single-player campaign.
    • So if you are someone who really dig Multiplayer and not care much about single player that much ADD A STAR to my score, if you are someone who love mainly single player campaign and don't play multiplayer that much REMOVE A STAR
    • the new armory is great because you can unlock whatever armor you want to with the points you earn in matchmaking or firefight or campaign!!firefight is a complete blast; much better that odst's crappy laggy firefight.the campaign is much better for the fact that your squad actually helps u kill the covenant for once!
    • Overall the campaign is fun a lot harder than previous Halo games which is good and still has fresh new stuff to mess with
    • I primarily buy games for the single player experience, and I enjoyed the single player campaign here.
    • A really fun game, with one of the best Halo campaigns.
    • The campaign was entertaining but not as fun as the multiplayer
    • The campaign is excellent, backed by solid storytelling and a powerful audio-visual experience
    • I must admit though I liked the campaign.
    • Still has a decent amount of people playing in matchmaking and the campaign is fun.
    • The campaign has had its difficulty increased dramaticlly and scales with the amount of players as well
    • The campaign is very story based, but loses no intensity during co-op
    • The campaign is well put together, and i personally think better than halo 2 and 3
    • Other than halo 3, this has the best campaign, with characters you will truly care for
    • Amazing campaign and multiplayer modes
    • Although we like to call the campaign a single player experience, with Reach four players can take on this long and satisfying campaign
    • Super-clear wonderful campaign with a stunning twist at the end
    • Been palying Live since Halo 2.This one is probably my least favorite campaign, maybe the fact that you aren't Master Chief and just some regular guy loses some sort of excitement
    • Single Player:While the Campaign is better than Halo 3's and ODST (and of course always enjoyable with friends
    • Besides that little nitpick, the campaign is fantastic
    • The campaign was pretty good, although my only complaint is that there weren't enough cutscenes
    • Excellent and entertaining campaign with a ton of replay value
    • The Campaign is good & the Forge is alot deeper than the previous installment
    • The online is awesome, but the campaign is a little repetitive.
    • It has great multiplayer options for Live and the campaign is cool and challenging.
    • The campaign alone makes this game worth buying and playing over and over, but online multi-player is where this game really stands out.
    • Campaign is amazing, tying straight into the first Halo
    • Great title with an awesome campaign
    • OVERALL, you will enjoy the campaign in this game
    • The real joy is in the multi-player, where the campaign, though short, is fun and dynamic
    • It's got a great campaign and also has a great multiplayer for online
    • Great campaign in addition to the co-op element
    • Reach's campaign is by-far the best
    • The campaign is very good and tells the story of Reach.
    • Overall the campaign was excellent
    • So far the campaign is great and multiplayer is fun
    • From the intense single player campaign stuffed with variety to the excellent voice acting, story and sound
    • The campaign was very exciting and even sometimes a little annoying
    • I loved the campaign great story line, but where I saw the game shine to the peak of a the five out of five was its online play
    • Halo 3 was the easiest of the previous 4 which is why the campaign was so much less enjoyed
    • - The campaign is thrilling, intense, and very long, but does not follow the storyline
    • the campaign is very intriguing, the various game modes are all entertaining, firefight is very fun and customizable, the file share system is easy and efficient, and it still allows you to play as elites in certain game modes
    • Multiplayer is amazing and the campaign is great
    • Not only does this have a great campaign, but it also has a very above average mutli-player that leaves very little to have any complaint about
    • The campaign is exciting,but don't expect to rack up a bunch of kills since on normal there aren't many to kill
    • Final Recommendation: If you like a good campaign, play Reach
    • The campaign is fantastic, and the multiplayer is unmatched by any other game.
    • But after getting used to it I will say Reach has good multiplayer maps and a good campaign.(I am Iron Cyborg).
    • The campaign is fun but does lack the feel of an all out war like it has been put on to have
    • Campaign is outright disappointing and will leave you saying things
    • I might be a little biased since Halo is the reason why I got into consol gaming (vs. PC based) but I truly believe this is the apex of the series with a very enjoyable campaign & great multiplayer.
    • the campaign is slick so far, but i don't think I'll pick it up once i begin playing a new game
    • Strong Single player campaign
    • The campaign itself is fun but the strategy for beating it remains the same as the previous 4 Halos, except with some more flair added.
    • The campaign is flawless and every level has it's own variety of fun and great storytelling
    • Reach's campaign is, in my opinion, the best of the Halo series.
    • but the campaign is fantastic
    • Great Graphics, new environments, new voices for enemies, good campaign, awesome multiplayer, AND you get to
    • No 4 player split screen in Big Team Battle, the Campaign, or Firefight
    • the campaign feels more like an extra bonus compared to this
    • it even shows up in the campaign! awesome multiplayer... although i will say this... unless your an avid halo fan who only cares about story lines
    • The physics are a bit different, the sprint feature is almost identical to COD, and the campaign feels more like COD with aliens than a classic Halo campaign
    • The campaign, which I have enjoyed thoroughly, is worth replaying alone or with friends; enemies and weapons have been upgraded and perfected; and the whole storyline is brilliant.
    • It was a little better but still halo 1 had a better campaign
    • The campaign is the hardest and most exhilarating campaign the Halo series has ever seen
    • Overall I do not like the campaign
    • This is a must buy for any halo fan great campaign and awesome multiplayer but forge is the bestJetpacks are cool and they added sprint which is really coolThere are some things I hated about the games allot of guns are missing and no dual wield and the forge maps are not very good forge world sucks
    • One of the best campaigns yet
    • You return to reach and assist in the evacuation of civilians and are then summoned by Dr. Catherine Halsey herself to deliver a highly important package to the ship "Pillar of Autumn".As far as the campaign is concerned, I was disappointed by HALO REACH
    • The Campaign is definitely worth playing through.
    • the campaign is pretty good it took me about 6
    • I recommend it to any Halo fan but for COD fans or people new to the series, I would recommend renting it first just because of the issues listed, the relatively short campaign, and the learning curve in the multiplayer.
    • The campaign is fun but does lack the feel of an all out war like it has been put on to have
    • The campaign is fun but short.
    • The campaign is visually rich and if you are a Halo fan this is a good addition to the collection
    • I thought the campaign for Halo 3 was a little more fun than this one however the multiplayer in Reach is second to none
    • I was hoping since this is the last game in the series that have a long campaign for players like me who appreciate Single Player Campaign
    • Solid campaign, not much new to multiplayer from older games.
    • Taken as a whole, with the fantastic campaign, great graphics, and top of the line (even with the few oddities) multiplayer, Halo Reach is one of the best games I have ever purchased, especially on the Xbox 360.
    • No 4 player split screen in Big Team Battle, the Campaign, or Firefight
    • The campaign was fun but the multiplayer and firefight are the best
    • This game, like the others, has a really well-done campaign with good acting, amazing cinematic cutscenes and fun gameplay
    • THe campaign is great and they put a lot of replay into the multiplayer
    • In addition to a great campaign experience, the multiplayer is done excellently
    • I've always preferred campaigns that were more
    • The Campaign is awesome, and the multiplayer is sick.
    • the campaign is awesome but seemed kinda short but overall its a really good game.
    • With a decent campaign (the fact that you don't get to play as Master Chief is a bummer) and addictive multiplayer (especially Living Dead gametype) this game will keep you hooked.--------------------------------Pros: Addictive Multiplayer, Improved Firefight and Forge mode, New weapons such as the Concussion Rifle are fun to use
    • but otherwise the campaign and co-op is just fine but competitive
    • I have played Halo and Halo 2 on the PC as well as on the Xbox/Xbox 360
    • You'd probably say thats just as stupid as if they scraped half of all the weapons and replaced them with strange similar counterparts and then changed the function of all the other weapons they didn't scrap
    • But I've never played a Halo game that was as fresh, innovative, and interesting as the very first one
    • Solid A!
    • It is still, however, not as great as I had
    • Nothing ground breaking but lots of fun solo as well as with friends.
    • The maps incorporate campaign settings making them just more natural, as well as bringing back old classics like ivory tower and ascension
    • New weapons, vehicles, and armor abilities have been added (although duel wielding has been removed), but the core gameplay is still as sharp as when the first Halo wowed the world.
