I enjoyed playing the Halo: Reach Beta not because it was HALO 3.5 no, I enjoyed and will enjoy Reach because so much has been added whilst keeping to the core Halo formula. It's honestly hard to say people are losing interest in the Halo franchise, Bungie are amazing game developers and Halo is their passion. Just look at the Halo community and how Bungie interact with it. Halo's fans are far from losing interest and with so many new features, Reach offers a unique Halo experience that many "loyal" halo fans are having trouble accepting.

This is Bungie's last Halo installment but I must say, it is a great to see a massive change from the slightly upgraded feeling of each of the previous titles.

Marcus Lehto and the Bungie team are doing an amazing job with this title.

Halo: Reach will be a fitting close to the original franchise, can't wait!

. . . marketing hyperbole.

Halo:Reach is a spin off prequel to a franchise that peopel are starting to lose interest in.

The game mechanincs are now 10 years old and there's little sign they are going in a positive direction.

Here's an idea: get Infinity Ward to make the next halo game and dispense with the floaty floaty slow paced kiddy gameplay.
