Frankie wasn't joking when he said it, and any reasonable person can respect that. People that respond in the way that you have are being pompous children.
no one?
It's foolish that they would look forward to Destiny while at the same time acting as if Reach was a shitty game. At least be consistent and be skeptical of Destiny, or maybe reconsider the fact that your impressions of Reach do not comprise an even-tempered rational analysis of the game. And yes, I think even people like Ghaleon got it wrong and simply don't appreciate or fully comprehend the elegance of its design. I recall getting halfway through his article on FUD with enough material to write a response article, but never came back to it (was too busy having a blast with friends in Reach every night). The game may not be the Halo game you wanted, but it is still one of the best FPSs ever made.
Oh, and you can pass on Twin Snakes. Stick to the original for Hideo Kojima's Metal Gear Solid. Twin Snakes had a different director and an inconsistent mix of updated graphics and overly embellished cutscenes. Why re-record all of the dialogue? What a waste and an odd product overall.
This is my goal for the game for sure.
And while we're on the topic of Halo Wars: I, too, would love to see some of their vehicles make it in another Halo game. Imagine piloting a Vulture or Vampire!

Elegance? Lol
Reach was a shit FPS, the most frustrating gunplay any AAA series has ever produced. I agree that anyone who disliked Reach but is anticipating Destiny is silly.

Me too. I had some great times on it.

Um, have you heard the way Snake talks? The ham is essential. Twin Snakes is artistically inferior, and probably inferior from a gameplay perspective because they just shoehorned MGS2 mechanics into it.
Yup. Been spending a lot more time on it now after reaching the highest rank in 4.

Yes, elegance. From top to bottom, Reach has very consistent and thoughtful design. The gunplay is probably the most balanced and optimized out of the online Halo games. Putting accuracy in the hands of the player was empowering, without hindering player movement like in Halo 4.
They changed the way the game worked to make it the smoothest playing online Halo ever. And that's awesome.
at least it gets 60 FPS
Bloom and consistent don't belong in the same sentence. But I know talking about Reach with you is pointless, so I'll save myself the headache.
Now we have people saying Bioshock looks cruddy? God damn this thread is terrible.
Someone never got the title update.
Someone never played BTB.
Someone never fired a weapon more than one shot.
Someone never moved their left analog stick.

Too bad AAs killed that gunplay =(.
I like every Halo game.
I was told I was not allowed to say that here without fearing retaliation though!

They did hinder player movement, it has the most sluggish Halo movement. There are a lot of things I would describe Reach as, but elegant does not come to mind. From a skillpoint I guess you could argue that gunplay was balanced, as everyone was equally hoping their shots would randomly land on target, but games with that sort of spread only work out in the first place because the first shot is the most important part of the fight to get accurate, not the last. Shields and bloom are antithetical to one another.
Twin Snakes is dumb, get outta here with your flips onto missiles and poorly implemented MGS2 mechanics.
I felt like that in my first few days here. Said it anyways.

Halo Reach didn't hinder player movement? LOL
current candidate for best HaloGAF post of the year
I wouldn't agree that Reach's bloom was especially empowering, as it always felt like I was waiting for the game to catch up. This has generally been my main complaint about bloom; the strategies for weakening weapons at long range that I tend to respect are things like projectile weapons, or just plain making weapons do less damage with long distances (though both of these have to be done carefully and with plenty of response for the game to feel responsive and not opaque).
Still, bloom does make sense within the constraints of Reach's gunplay, and armour lock and occasional excess of power weapons aside, the game does have pretty good flow.
(I honestly think that Reach's core movement and gunplay is better than Halo 4's. I'd embrace some of Halo 4's choices, like fast kill times and negligible bloom, if they weren't awkwardly coupled with Reachlike sluggish movement and aim assist that's been cranked up to 12. I guess I'd say that I'm more attracted to the direction that Halo 4 aimed in, but Reach's execution and coherency on its direction was superior.)
lol what question was Marina asked in this gif?

Lol no.
"Is Wahrer funny?"
You are posting in a game thread where the main character took a nuclear bomb to the face and lived
Well, you are posting in a game thread where many posters thought that that was kind of dumb.
But they'll have to live with it since they can't Cody Miller it out of the canon

Halo was always a cool guy like that.
Metal Gear was an interesting character in the first because of his normality in handling situations despite the extravagant context of it all. They never really broke the tie between his limitations in and out of cutscenes.
Never forget.

I still have yet to play MGS 2 and 3. I played 1 and 4 and loved both.

I popped in MGS2 from the HD collection for old times' sake after getting a platinum in MGR. Oh god did it feel weird. I wouldn't say the game's aged badly so much as games are so straightforward now that it's hard to go back to its idiosyncrasies because I've become lazy and complacent.
Man, I played so much MGS2 back then. Getting all the dogtags was a brutal exercise. I might torture myself to do it again one day so that I can show people online that I did it, but it's still probably my favourite MGS.

Yeah, I've been thinking about getting the HD collection for a couple of weeks now so I can play through them over spring break. And I've heard great things about that ending, I don't know how I haven't had it spoiled by now haha.
Im not going to say anything because we didn't do it legitimately, and that ruins the fun of easter eggs.

You probably have been spoiled through osmosis by now but it just makes no damn sense out of context (and hardly any in context) that you'll only realize it once you get to that point yourself.
I saw the word consistent and literally rolled my eyes.
Bloom is less consistent than any other mechanic in any Halo game.
They fixed Reach's population counter about a month ago
edit: also, Reach just went on sale for 10$
