Awesome graphics, awesome gameplay, awesome tactics and weapons.

The gameplay is awesome

It feels to me like they just wanted to slow the gameplay of an already slow game down even more

Perhaps all of these are relevant, but I believe the real reason Halo Reach disappoints on some levels (despite being a beautiful looking game with classic Halo gameplay) is it feels too much like a knock-off rather than a send-off.

The story is the most compelling in the series, the gameplay is varied and exciting(new aerial missions), and the ending is as shocking as it is obvious

Many areas that you wouldn't think should be off limits are, greatly limiting creative gameplay.

Overall, I really feel that any hardcore or original Halo fan would find the gameplay an appalling sellout to Call of Duty in an attempt to engage a larger gamer demographic.

Overall I found the gameplay repetitive and ultimately boring.

The graphics are life like and the gameplay is great

The gameplay is superb, and in addition to the complement of well-known weapons, you get to drive an equally impressive assortment of vehicles that you find along the way...from a Scorpion tank to a space battle-ship to a Falcon propeller gunship

I have to say I did enjoy the gameplay (what there was of it) in the single player campaign.

The gameplay is great, with enough similarities to the previous games to make it familiar to the gamer, but including enough new variations and tweaks to make it feel fresh

Sure the engine is brand new and graphics are great, but gameplay is just flat out boring and uninteresting

COD MW 1&2 make this gameplay like a childplay

Great gameplay, visuals, sound and pace

The multiplayer the series is known for is the best yet and introduces exciting new gameplay types as well as the expanded forge mode which will extend the multiplayer game indefinitely.

It is almost redundant by now to praise Bungie for having intuitive gameplay; it’s fast, tense, and incredibly well thought out in terms of level design and set piece battles

Personally, I think ranged weapons are detrimentally underpowered in this game series, leaving the focus on melee and grenades, but a positive gameplay experience all around

just use reach's great gameplay,& halo 4

Many areas that you wouldn't think should be off limits are, greatly limiting creative gameplay.

doesn't matter quite so much on fps's , as long as great gameplay)

Gameplay is smooth.

Though not reflective of the original Halo books, this game has an awesome campaign and great online gameplay

Good graphics and smooth gameplay make this game memorable and entertaining

All of these things would be nothing without solid gameplay and Reach does not disappoint

the online gameplay is a joke but the co op campaign

Great gameplay, fun story, thats all you need to know.

Great game, the graphics are good, the music too, and the gameplay is awesome, i recommend to everybody, buy this game !!!

Of course it is, but trust me, this the best story, gameplay, game mechanics, physics, graphics, and action pack FUN in any Halo title

I just don't think that the gameplay was good enough to overcome this.

It has the great gameplay, story, visuals, audio (really amazing stuff), and that overall sheen of awesome that every great game has

I'm talking about voting, re-voting, finding people, missing people, finding new hosts several times during a game, it gets very irritating and I find myself missing Call Of Dutys fast gameplay very much (and no I'm not a huge fan of

The real problem lies in the simplistic gameplay - if you press jump and hold right trigger, you'll get to the end

Gameplay is as flawless as the games in the rest of the series

It seems like Bungie just combined gameplay of Halo 1 and ODST and thought it would work, without any real new features for incentive to continue.

The game has good story, excellent gameplay, fantastic multiplayer, great graphics

I feel like this ruins gameplay because aiming skill matters less when you only have to hit one shot instead of three

I think the story fit in well with the franchise and enjoyed the gameplay

The gameplay is fantastic

The additions to Reach have done nothing but ruin the gameplay.

The game storyline is a mute point (we know the planet falls from the other earlier games), but the connection given to the rise of everyone's favorite enemy and the chance to fight as a member of a Spartan team makes for awesome gameplay

is its Firefight mode, which far exceeds the gameplay of it's predecessor ODST.

Gameplay was fun

The armor is weaksauce and the gameplay is boring

lots of maps and the smooth, sleek gameplay make multiplayer amazing

The characters are interesting, the skyboxes are awesome, and the gameplay is, well, Halo gameplay.

beautiful gameplay and graphics

The gameplay and graphics completely suck

✔ Amazing graphics and challenging gameplay for all levels of experience✔ Xbox Live CompatibleSome things to be aware of✔ Xbox Live community isn’t as prevalent for this game

Good gameplay.

Gameplay is as fun as ever

The graphics are better, the gameplay is smooth with nice additions such as the armor load outs (sprinting, jet pack, armor lock, etc.).If you are a fan of the original halo and its story...or pretty much the halo

The overall gameplay has improved a lot from Halo 3, and the online gameplay is awesome

Making some of the most best-looking graphics on a Xbox game, this sure packs a punch for unique, creative gameplay and a huge variety of replay-value and story!

The graphics were very detailed and the gameplay never gets boring

The gameplay is solid

Gameplay is good for both campaign and multiplayer, will keep me and most busy for a couple of months.

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.
