Halo: Reach (Xbox 360)
Notitie: Ik heb nogal wat commentaar gekregen omdat dit in het Engels is en zinnen heeft die verwijzen naar "somewhere else in this magazine" dat ik het dan zelf niet heb geschreven. Dit komt omdat ik vorig jaar (vandaar dat het Reach is ipv Anniversary of Halo 4) een opdracht had om een games magazine te maken op school. (We noemde die dan Power Limitless, en dat is gelijk het ENIGE wat dan is afgepakt) Dit moest in het Engels omdat ik TTO doe. Vandaar. Ik heb dit dus wel 100 procent zelf geschreven. Ik zal in het vervolg wel mn recencies in het Nederlands doen, aangezien jullie dat allemaal fijuner vinden! - Daniel "Xaldein" Everts For almost a decade, gamers have had the luck to play as the Master Chief, if they had an XBOX, that is. Now that Bungie will pass the torch onto 343i, will we ever play another HALO game again? Yes, we will, since HALO 4 has been announced already. But Master Chief isn't the only war-hero in the HALO universe... Always remember REACH.
I started out with the single player, which is, unlike the other HALO games (except HALO 3: ODST) , a lot more dark… The story tells the tale about 6 legendary Spartan soldiers – bioengineered super humans - , known as Noble Team. You, Noble 6, replaces a fallen Noble Team member and your first mission is to investigate a terrorist attack on the farmland of the Human colonized planet of Reach. However, after some research, it turns out that there aren’t any terrorists behind this attack… It’s the Covenant! The Covenant are a group of 8 alien species which have discovered an artifact on Reach, important to their alien religion. Now Noble Team must try to save Reach. Unfortunately, we already know how this story must end, since it is a prequel to the other HALO games… All Spartans – except for John 117 (Master Chief), who is the main protagonist in the original HALO trilogy – will die… However, this is done in a very spectacular way, you’re last objective is to simply survive… YOU WONT! Eventually, you’re killed by Shangeli Elites, the alien equivalent of the Spartans…
The game play of Reach has a lot of the same elements as in the previous HALO games: Firefight has returned in the form of Firefight 2.0, your Spartan is still equipped with a shield, only this time, you also have a health bar that wont recharge… A welcome new thing is the Spartan Customization. As you play Reach, you get rewarded points, which you can use to buy new armor equipment (See Green and Red Spartans). This doesn’t improve you’re Spartan, but does make it look cooler. The fun thing is, you’re Custom Spartan doesn’t only appear in multiplayer, but also in the single player Campaign. Another welcome change are the armor abilities. These can make you’re Spartan fly, dodge, run, turn invisible or even invincible! Also, the weapons have been upgraded, some have been removed, some have been added. The Brute Spiker has been removed, but a Needler Rifle has been added. As an addition to the Warthog, you can now ride the Gauss and Rocket Warthog. The Banshee has another look, just as the Ghost… One last change: The Flood doesn’t make an appearance in this HALO game, which makes it one of my favorites…
HALO: REACH is not only a dark story for the Spartans, but also a dark story for the HALO fans: This is the last HALO game Bungie will be creating… But there’s always hope, as they have handed over their torch to 343 industries, which already did a lot for the HALO network, such as creating HALO Waypoint. At the E3 last week, 343 Industries announced that they will make at least 4 (!) new Halo Games. The first will come out on the 15th of November 2011, and it will be a remake of the original Halo. It will be called Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary. The other 3 games will be a new trilogy, starring once again, The Master Chief and his AI companion Cortana… We don’t know when those games will come out, but we know we WILL play them!
Even though eventually humanity will be saved, it wouldn't have been possible without NOBLE TEAM. Therefore it is important that we must REMEMBER REACH...

Maar wat PS3TheBest zegt bij z'n andere recensie zou ook kunnen, dat het uit één of ander magazine komt. Maar je bent wel heel erg levenloos als je een recensie gaat overtypen uit een tijdschrift.
