    just thinking, we have quite a few members planning on playing halo reach. maybe we should support the game with its own spot here on the forums? unless theres hoops i would have to jump through(im not very athletic) to get it done :D

    I'm looking to get a competitive team going when it launches so this is something we should look into.

    Halo Reach's multiplayer looks a lot better than any other Halo multiplayer so ill be on it.

    I made a thread about this in the "Other Games" section if we want to organize there, if not - well that's okay too then?

    Well, if it was for PC I'd play but I'm guessing Xbox is being lame and releasing it on console only for like a year or something. I have an xbox but I can't stand playing FPS with a controller.

    I've heard "this" before. I don't blame you. I played PC games growing up, along with my Sega Genesis. SINCE THEN, my first console was a 360 and I bought it this past October.

    People say its easier or you're "not as good" if you play on a console because of the controllers, but I found out its a lot harder for me to score really decent kills with a controller as opposed with a mouse. After playing FPS's on consoles for almost a year now, I can say using a controller is a lot harder to use than a mouse.

    I prefer both, and honestly would love to come back to PC gaming FPS again, and I will in the future - just at the time most, if not all, my RL friends were gaming on the 360, and that was before I really noticed XoO was doing CoD and all of that.

    ANYWHOO-WHO. *owl*

    I'm still debating on whether I'm going to get it or not.

    You dont play FPS's much do you? It gets to be a habit and becomes a seemless part of play. If you cant pay attention to the map your gonna get jumped and teabagged.

    I'm talking about Halo in particular where everyone is jammed so close together. Then again I usually play hardcore S&D in MW2, which has no radar unless you get a kill streak but people aren't jammed close together in that game so it is possible to glance at it and continue playing.

    Wow, that "music vid" wasn't half bad. I was expecting a lot worse.
    Kinda clever in some parts.

    I can't believe its out tuesday! Friend just reminded me, my mouth hit the floor!

    Then again MW2 is such an easy game, that takes hardly much skill to play.

    I got it yesterday and I am currently playing through the campaign. In my opinion it is as good as advertised and one of the best in the series.
