CGR Undertow - HALO: REACH for Xbox 360 Video Game Review

[liamo345]

I love these reviews but what kind of fool records all their review footage when they are playing in split screen??

[magiclego101]

this halo game has no master cheif that why its called Halo Reach not Halo 4

[0424ivan]

@magiclego101 and that it has absolutely nothing to do with the original trilogies story besides the last 2 chapters and its a mostly stand alone story.

[FrankTheTankOS]

@offlinemodder LOL wow you don't know what your talking about. I remember playing COD4's beta back in the day and they still have betas but they are private so the common dumbass doesn't give stupid responses.

[itzxsimple1]

so you fly a scarab?

[superhuman295]

Amazing music from this game

[spiderjerusalem100]

I loved the first Halo and Halo 2 but thought Halo 3 and ODST were very disappointing. Halo Reach is awesome, thank you Bungie for restoring my faith in the series.

[TophatxKat]

its bungies last halo

[ScReWaTtAcKeD]

This is my least favorie in the series because Bungie tried to rip off CoD in a cosmic sorta way with the "perks"

[UltraKilla97]

Emile has his skeleton face carved not painted

[UltraKilla97]

Emile has his skeleton face carved 

[TarlZaralka]

What the fuck is the point of customizing the Spartan if the stuff you add on doesn't do a damn thing?

[mcwendys11]

@TarlZaralka BECAUSE its fun it looks cool and above all else gives you something cool to work for while still makeing the game balnced

[Kirbysepicchannel]

uhhhhhhhh,this is not the last one,halo 4 is coming

[CDell543]

@Kirbysepicchannel Final Halo BY BUNGIE...not 343 industries



[Gzero91]

Worst halo game.

[SuperSupermanX1999]

@Gzero91 BLASPHOMY!!!!

[CessiCB]

@Gzero91

No, that would be Halo 2.

[BootySweat40]

HALO 4 IS COMEING

[Gzero91]

@BootySweat40 "COMEING"

[videogameguy77]

@BootySweat40 come back when you can spell coming

[Thetrutv]

I just finned playing it

[halo6534]

Am i the only one that wasn't impressed at all with this game? The multiplayer felt to much like call of duty with the progressive ranking. halo 3s ranking system is way better and more competitive. Halo 3 is way better than this overhyped disappointment.

[Poonard]

@halo6534 i just like the OG pistol being back. Old School fan in me loves Reach.

[AngryLoo]

@halo6534 I have Reach, and love it, but I haven't played any of the other Halos. If you'd be so kind, please explain to me how how Halo 3's progression system is different to Reach's, and why it is better.

[halo6534]

@AngryLoo Thats just it halo 3 had no progressive ranking like call of duty and reach. All reach was was a ripoff of COD and thats why i hated it. Halo 2 and 3 had a ranking system from 1 to 50 and it wasn't you gain rank from kills it was you gain rank from winning a game. And what made it competeive is that if you lost a game you'd lose your rank.........but with reach it was so dumbd down that only getting points matter. And theres no consequence for losing :|

[AngryLoo]

@halo6534 :S In that case I think I'm glad Reach changed the advancement system, because my Xbox 360 disconnects from Xbox LIVE every 20 minutes or so without warning, nothing I can do about it, but Halo sees this as quitting from a game which is not only counted as a loss but means I can't rejoin matchmaking for 10 minutes. It's frustrating as it is, but if Reach employed the system that you say Halo 3 has, whereby you are DEMOTED for losing matches, then I would be in dire straits altogether!

[AngryLoo]

@halo6534 And thank you for taking the time to explain - I appreciate it.

[djwezzmaster]

@halo6534 you can always play arena

[bobx9000]

The story of this game sucks.

[halo6534]

@bobx9000 I agree 100% didn't impress me at all

[bobx9000]

@XxPurpleHoodiexX No, there's quite a bit.

[Poonard]

@offlinemodder i remember playing COD4MW beta soo...

[jacketsj]

final? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! do you really think they would stop such a big franchise?

[SharqSkin77]

@jacketsj he said developer bungie

[Timehn36k9voc]

@jacketsj He said this is the final Halo game done by BUNGIE. 343 Studios will be taking over for Halo 4

[sullfurick]

@jacketsj the final halo made by bungie the rest is made by 343 indistreys

[janfeyen9]

@jacketsj

Yep you're right,though is that really a good thing? I mean we have seen great series that have fallen with age

[danny1111105]

@jacketsj this is the last of bungie's contribution to the halo franchise, they are not working on halo 4.

[jacketsj]

@danny1111105 i know what he ment, but i got a top comment didn't i?

[spirtkid128]

@jacketsj no he means the last one for bungie 343 studios is taking it because bungie left microsoft they wanted to take it but couldn't but most of the employees left bungie and went to 343 to work on the rest of the games

[MrJustinds]

@jacketsj DONE BY BUNGIE!!!!!!!



[jacketsj]

@MrJustinds ik now, i was stupid back then, THAT WAS 6 MONTHS AGO!

[Theguythatneverposts]

The skull on emiles helmet isn't painted it's carved

[starwarsthomasvideo]

there is a halo 4 coming out in 2012!

[Leont64]

@starwarsthomasvideo

Yep, truly milking the franchise....

[Markthebagman]

Did he say fly a Scarab? Those big spiderlike machines?

[MrQi19]

OK first of all bungies a developer not a publisher secondly why the hell dose classic game room have two different reviews of this game and marks the best reviewer so just leave then up to him

[HatersGonnaHate1000]

Even the CoD legions appreciate how good this game is

[CharizardLv5]

the fact that thsi is the final Halo realy depresses me, its like losong a member of the family

[defendedmeteor3]

@CharizardLv5 last halo by Bungie

[narutofreak1500]

knowing i was a spartan again i felt like a badass still lol. cmon its halo its supposed to be badass

[chuggaaconroy2000]

@TAILENIT hor hay?

[ProbiaXIII]

LOL! PURPLE PEOPLE EATERS!

[jerkygohanssj]

Dude u r dumb master chief does exist

[UndercoverCracker]

Nothing will ever beat Halo 1 or 2!

[donda2111]

Hahaha!Purple people eaters!  XP

[GamerPjs]

i want an xbox for this game

[callofdutyfanboy1000]

how many people can play on splitscreen???

[sdfdogjedi100]

@callofdutyfanboy1000 only 2 i think

[WiiThoko]

@callofdutyfanboy1000 4.

Online too, 4 people can play per console on Xbox Live.

You can't get that on your little Black Ops with only 2 people per console splitscreen online :P

[callofdutyfanboy1000]

@WiiThoko did i say anything about black ops..honestly its like i cnt ask a question u jerkoff

[WiiThoko]

@callofdutyfanboy1000

I was just kidding. It's a joke.

I only said that because of your username, but once again...it's a joke.

[TherianthropeAndrewH]

I hated the space levels, soooooo boresing.

[reapermachine]

its the 6th instalment of the series

[Slimshadow457]

Fly a Scarab? What campaign have you been playin, dude?

[Designandrew]

Holy fuck could you get the back story any more wrong? Why even give it such a long run down if you don't understand it? You should have reviewed the actual GAME more than wasting our time incorrectly explaining the story..

[booshka91]

im glad finally you have the choice to play as a girl (:

[KingDavid73]

isn't bungie the developer and microsoft the publisher?

[TheAlby333]

@KingDavid73 yes but a couple months ago bungie sold all their right and everything to microsoft. all of them except the charecters and the storyline. they are making a halo 4 just its not by bungie

[KingDavid73]

@TheAlby333 I know. I was just being a smart ass on the slight mistake. lol

[animerulezu99]

lol, he messed up the story for Halo: Reach.

[THEmomsqaud2]

By God my precious Battle Rifle WHAT HAVE THEY DONE!?!?!?

[HaloFanRedvsBLue12]

@THEmomsqaud2 They made the bullets more badass which equals 4 battle rifle shots. Oh and it's not a battle rifle, it's a DMR. Theirs a differnence

[THEmomsqaud2]

@HaloFanRedvsBLue12 Uh i like to call it a battle rifle and i like 3 shots at once

[CessiCB]

@THEmomsqaud2

They removed it, because it was unbalanced and made every other weapon practically useless.

[DeltaPhi79]

Hm... I would actually CONSIDER Halo if they made it like the Rogue Squadron games.

[MrNorthman32]

lol purple people eaters

[MCplayer94]

lol he forgot the forge and theater mode

[dimigod720]

maybe multiplayer space battles

[Emceetem]

I'm a dude and my spartan is a girl.

can't stop looking at that ass.

:P

[HatersGonnaHate1000]

@Emceetem Its a FIRST person shooter you moron

[Necromas]

Well, maybe in the rpg spinoffs I guess.

[AgentBuggy47]

2.Halo2

3.Halo3

4.ODST

5.Halo Wars

[Danfilm007]

@TheHaloCEfan yes it does

[TheHaloCEfan]

@Danfilm007 no it dosent cuz halo wars is its own game its not in the halo franchise

[dimigod720]

@AgentBuggy47 5 odst was a exp. pack for 3

[acidsyringe69]

Gears of War ftw...

Yeah... I went there.

[ricardo22104]

@TheGamerx782 How do you figure? I have nothing against your opinion I just want to know.

[sendapez]

This guy is totally wrong abt the Noble team and the Spartan 2 program lol. And lush jungles and deserts? where was I for that? Did he play the game? And the ODST guys were branched from Halo 2 not 3. You fly a Scarab?!? Oh he means Sabre

[Crono2079]

THE GAME IS VERY SHORT

[toyou999999999]

u ever realize he always sucks at the game hes reviewing

[CHURCHTUCKERCABOOSE]

@toyou999999999 what do u expect, swiching from game to game?

[TheCommentGuy8]

[nigben1]

[JosefSmith2]

[NHLfan96]

[YoungMoney4280]

Now that bungie isn't making anymore Halo games the Xbox 360 only has a matter of time before Sony Kicks it outa production. I give it a year

[friikkipiikki1]

@YoungMoney4280 Ps 3 Fanboy haha

[frank12364]

@YoungMoney4280 What??? Dude it still had a lot of titles like gears of war, call of duty is still there

[callofdutyfanboy1000]

@YoungMoney4280 go play final fantasy with your juice box on your forman grill looking ps3!

[IntolerableWaste]

f5 to skip ads thumbs up so everyone can see!

[Ewantrain]

what are the fuckin wepons

[dylandionrakiman]

actually, Master Chief already excist because at the end he is in there as an easter egg; even though i'ts 20 years ago, he's in cryo most of the time and is probably hundreds and hundreds of year old.

[pirateludwig]

@dylandionrakiman Dude, the END of the game is the start of Halo CE, so it takes probably like, weeks before 1.

[Kitchenninja17]

@dylandionrakiman actually master chief is only around his 40-49's. halo 1 takes place on august 25, 2552. only 1 day after reach fell,and the same day that the fate of noble 6 happens. the only character that i know that would be close to one hundred would be Sargent johnson, cause hes one of a few that saw the UNSC- insurrectionist war ,and the human -covenant to the end which makes him about 80 years old at the time of death

[dylandionrakiman]

@Kitchenninja17 just discovered that, i have reach now.

[LILHMZA111]

nice review wat woulhd u rate it out of 10 i give it 11/10

[lradmclovin9]

wow. its pronounced "george" not "horhey", jorge is just another spelling of george. And they pronounce it "george" in the game anyway.

Your back story on Reach was completely wrong.

And you never fly a scarab, do you even know what a scarab is? they fly a sabre.

Thank god mark did a review

[DoitForTheLolz1]

your voice is nerdy. now all you need is a nerdy laugh :D

[stoutmeister91]

My friend just got this game, it looks amazing so far...I can't wait to play it.

/watch?v=YVgLRwOw7HE

Horror movie character, Scream excited as hell about the new Halo Reach video game \m/\m/ A review of the game will be up and coming very soon.

[Mar093]

great review

I might borrow this from a friend to play the campain.

[EpicnessInABox]

2:17

Poor fella on bottom screen, he gets denied a gunman.

On the birght side, it still has split screen co-op! My Fav!

[hondansx1000]

wouldn't it be funny if the Rookie was the Master Cheif

[Chrizler34]

Halo= 10/10

Now it's time for Bungie to re-make MARATHON :D

[GizmoGames]

the game sucks its not fun end of story

[WancakesTheBrave90]

@GizmoGames im playing it, and it is fun, so your statements are lies.

[Chrizler34]

@GizmoGames I like it and it's fun so you fail.

[duncemaster5]

@GizmoGames Your mom sucks harder.

[D34THGU1T4R1ST]

Bungie will make another Halo you wait and see

[smashbrosfan25]

Your review was good but I feel like you were rushing it next time slow down a little bit.

[nigeleastman]

@smashbrosfan25 He probably didn't have enough thoughts to make two parts...

[smashbrosfan25]

@nigeleastman i not saying make it two parts i'm saying take it slower

[LupusRexRgis]

WOW, one can tell Ray really enjoyed making this review! :-)

[smashbrosfan25]

Purpel peopel eaters nice

[cornchippers]

I've never really been a fan of Halo but this looks really fun and I love the look of the art direction.

[MasterGamer15]

Wow..Mark..Kevin and Ray reviewed this game...this is proof of how awesome this game is....Still waiting for Derrek's review

[LupusRexRgis]

@MasterGamer15 Yeah, you've got a point in there...

[flcl4evr]

The rogue squadron reference made my day

[wightknight121]

yay halo bleach

[futoncat]

If I bought this, I would never go outside. Hell, I'd never leave my 360...

[17R3W]

@futoncat

In order to help you from being a shut it, Microsoft has included the helpful "Red Ring of Death" which ensures you'll have to quit playing your 360 for sometime.

Wasn't it nice of them to look out for you?

[futoncat]

@17R3W Yes! That is the reason I avoid the 360 altogether. Their little failsafe sucks too much.

[poliv67]

@17R3W The RRoD doesn't work on mine...maybe I should call microsoft. And ask them how they sleep at night knowing that they're making us pay 50$ just to play online with Xbox Live even tough its free on Windows live, how they make us pay 150$ for their Wii rippoff and how they make us pay 10$ just to change or fucking gamertag!!! Its hard to believe Microsoft is one of, if not THE wealthiest company in the world when they're make us pay for EVERYTHING!!! Steam is better, end of comment.

[17R3W]

@poliv67

I just don't understand how people would want a microsoft game console.

I don't HATE M$ but after working on a windows PC all day, why oh why would I want to play on a microsoft game machine.

And yeah, why is NOTHING included in the price of things. When you buy a Nintendo game, online is included in the price.

[poliv67]

@17R3W I want a Valve console, they're the company behind the Left 4 Dead and Half Life series, they're also the ones who made steam. They would know how to make a good console because they care more about the gamers appreciation of their products than making money. And it would use steam wich is a big plus. Because without exageration, if you combine the best features of Xbox live and the PSN together, it wouldn't even match steam, and if you think I'm a fanboy, its because you never tried it.

[17R3W]

@poliv67

loved to hear your thoughts on Onlive. I've been playing the unreal demo, it's pretty impressive. 

[poliv67]

@17R3W I'm not even talking about Onlive...

[17R3W]

@poliv67

Sorry, I meant "I'd love to hear your thoughts on Onlive".

[poliv67]

@17R3W I tried it, its a good concept, its pretty cool for playing crysis an Ipad or to be able to try games without downloading anything, but I don't think its worth buying games for because, its one thing to virtually own a game, but virtually playing a virtually owned game is kind-of pushing it. Personnaly, I think it would work better as an option on steam or xbox live, so you can buy a game and start playing while it downloads(if you have a good enough connection).

[pkrhawk7]

@17R3W douche

[17R3W]

@pkrhawk7

for which comment. (I'm just curious)

[Danfilm007]

@17R3W 

[TheGamerDuck]

@17R3W nice sarcasm. but the red ring is not eminent on the slim model, but alot of people have original 360's.

[17R3W]

@TheGamerDuck

I believe if you watch the video, they are talking about the "classic" or regular ol' 360.

[nmgh101]

@17R3W why is a ps3 fanboy top rated on an xbox exclusive review?

[17R3W]

@nmgh101

We discussed this already, I don't even own a PS3, I'm a Vectrex fanboy.

[TheAlby333]

@nmgh101

[uglypinkmoose]

@justinium77 don't think I have heard it said that way

[Bakemon13]

I love these double reviews!

[uglypinkmoose]

good review btw

[uglypinkmoose]

mairio.... hate it when people say it like that

[justinium77]

@uglypinkmoose yeah, well I hate it when people say Muuuuri - O

[morfolomax]

WHY DIDEN'T MARK DO THIS!

[XxBILLDOGxX]

@morfolomax he did

[Simok1234]

@morfolomax HE DID TOO! ITS ON HIS CHANNEL! THEY BOTH DID IT!

[JURPO90]

@morfolomax PICAUSE HE DID IT WHY THE FUCK HE WOULD DO IT TWICE. OH YEAH HE DID BUT THAT WAS 2 PART REVIEW.

[sekan123]

@morfolomax He did go to the main CGR channel : )

[servandot]

God some of the jokes here only are funny to a kid with ADD or aspergers.

[Dr1Great]

it's george

[AngelicLegion]

@Dr1Great but its spelled Jorge

either way works

[Kingofprinces85]

This guy does reviews too?  I thought he only did the news.

[orbitalc]

i know someone who has it on the Vectrex
