Im looking foward to both, im a little skeptical about black ops. I hope black ops has a beta, Reach's beta really made me pumped for the release.
What do you guys think?
bothalthough my black ops career is gonna be seriously crippled by the big thrills dlc

Halo Reach, still undecided about Black Ops, it depends on my financial situation at the time. I just forked out £250 for the Halo Reach Xbox.![]()
No offense but that is very unnecessary to be buying that.Unless you truly need one becuz your current one is broken.Then thats understandable.Originally Posted by T4KShadow
I hate Halo and I dont care about Reach one bit.Im stoked about Black Ops and I already preordered the Prestige Edition.Ya I know that Im probably contradicting myself after saying the Halo xbox is unnecessary,but thats just my opinion.The thing I hate though is the fact that about 50% or more of the people who are unsure about Black Ops or are already hating it are doing so because Mw2 turned out to be **** and they are already taking that and throwing it on Black Ops just because it is the next game in the series.
Will be buying Black Ops and probably rent Reach a couple of times.
Black Ops:Originally Posted by SharpieSniffer
+ Campaign (Just looks like an average CoD game.)
+ Multiplayer (Could be terribly unbalanced, Gun Game is NOT new, looks like MW2 with a couple of new guns)
+ Customization (The 'new' credits system is IDENTICAL to Halo: Reach ... is this a copy? Probably not, but still quite weird that two different developers had the same idea with both of the biggest games this year, the gun customization looks pretty good though)
+ Zombies (Probably the best thing to come from Black Ops)
+ Theater (Nice addition, but was also in Halo 3, the graphics and textures will really let this down, though)
Halo: Reach:
+ Campaign (4 Player Co-op on an EPIC story, as seen here. Most likely will have great re-playability, like all Halo games)
+ Multiplayer (16 player battles with your friends, like Black Ops, BALANCED, which not many CoD games have)
+ Custom Games (Create your own games, make the whole game basically EXACTLY like CoD if you wanted to with the customization options)
+ Firefight 2.0 (Wave after wave of enemies (obviously not new) but it has AMAZING customization, heaps of re-playability, Versus mode allows you to play from the other perspective with your friends)
+ Forge 2.0 (Probably the coolest thing about Reach so far, INFINITE possibilities, Forge World is massive, play with up to 8 friends, basically make your own mini games/maps/gametypes, allows great re-playability for Matchmaking as maps from the community can get into it)
+ Theater (Watch your latest game from any angle and record it and upload it to Bungie.net or just watch it from Reach, tag, rate, your videos/screenshots and watch them be downloaded by people, great for machinimaking)
So, what does Black Ops have that is mildly better than Halo: Reach? All my friends at school say Black Ops 'will be AWESOME' and 'Halo is so stupid, you get lasers'. Black Ops had 4 modes that have been released so far. All of them have nothing special or new about them. Reach has 6 modes with a near INFINITE possibilities within them (except for campaign and such, obviously), such as Forge World and the in-depth customization options in Firefight 2.0 and Custom Games.
I fail to see why people are excited for this game. Honestly, they haven't innovated this franchise since CoD4. Hell, you people are so desperate for new content you think a CROSSBOW is innovation. We already have a sniper rifle, why do we need a terrible version of it?
The guns look like more of the same, the M-16, the MP5, this is just Cod4 with a terrible helicopter level thrown in. From what I've seen they can't even get the physics of it right.
I find it hilarious how Treyarch is trying to say they created 'new' gamtypes when half of them are ripped off of other games. Gun Game? Counter-Strike. Sticks and Stones? Counter-Strike. One in the Chamber? Every 1 life gametype ever made. I also love how they announced the new currency system (Also from Counter-Strike btw) a few weeks after Bungie announced it would be in Reach.
Oh but the GAMEPLAY is what is really important right? Well, they took away Commando from Modded ****Unfair 2, that was a good start, but they kept Grenade Launchers, and you can carry MORE GL rounds at once, as well as Claymores. ACTIVISION CAN YOU UNDERSTAND, EXPLOSIVE WEAPONS SUCK. And that drivable bomb thing, how in the HELL is that balanced, your saying after THREE kills you can get a little RC car that has NO time limit that has a blast radius of around 10 feet? Who thought that WASN'T overpowered? Oh and I love the way that Both IW and Treyarch balance weapons, simply make EVERY weapon capable of shooting across maps.
Back when CoD4 came out, it saved a dying franchise, but you can only take a game style so far, CoD needs to die, it has gone on too far, and Wager Matches, and a new throwing knife aren't going to save it.
it's a copy paste of a crap game that has been re-released too many times with no innovations.
I am just saying that people need to open their eyes to something else than CoD. There are better games out there. Im not saying im a die-hard halo fanboy, I like both franchises. Im just sayin that CoD is NOT as innovative at all as Halo.
The reason why people are scrapping BO already is because this:
-Same engine as MW2 (This means same ridiculous hit-detecion)
-Activision does NOT care for the player's enjoyment. They like money and thats all. They dont REALLY pay attention to the players. Only Valve, Bungie, and Redlynx give a damn about player satisfaction.
-NO INNOVATION. ALL NEW FEATURES ARE FROM PREVIOUS GAMES
-Basically, just another lagging-glitch fest.
-HALO actually takes skill to do good at. Anyone can be awesome at MW2/BO.
Yes, Ill buy both. But Im over 9000X more excited about Reach than BO.
lol dude, stop hating on me just because I don't like CoD.Originally Posted by SharpieSniffer![]()
I believe I can spend my money how I wish, I am a "halo-fanboy" and as this is Bungie's last Halo game I truly wish to remember it, and if that means buying a new xbox and selling my old one to my brother then so be it. My brother's xbox has broke and he doesn't have enough money for another, so I'm selling him mine for £50 when I get mine, I wanted a new xbox anyway for Kinect Ready etc.
So it's not an "unnecessary" purchase, thank you.![]()
bDIdol I COMPLETELY agree with you. CoD has run out of ideas completely. Halo is still producing something majorly new every game.
IMO the two posts above me are ********, because you guys rag on call of duty and describe none of the flaws of halo. 1. there is a terrible leveling system were its all based on how long you play not how good at the game you are.2. Halo takes skill, if shooting randomly and meleeing people is skill( same thing with cod but halo doesnt take skill either) 3. Big thrills dlc will be a better investment than both these games 4. Halo is not putting out new stuff there improving stuff like firefight and forge, but those are not new modes. 5. The only reason you guys hate cod is because you suck, because if you didnt you would figure out ways to deal with explosive weapons( just snipe them geez) I agree cod needs some work and if it was IW i would say the game would suck too, but its treyarch so you have to give them a chance. Oh yeah and halo's multiplayer is only copied from every other shooter ever
I supported cod when call of duty 4 released it w I'll remain the best game ever BUT when Modern Warfare2 was released if you can't see how **** it was it has turned into a disaster Reach will reign Supreme all cods are the samenow...
