It was freakin' awesome to see Capt. Jacob, though. Brings back the good old Halo 1 days. I honestly can't think of a better way to end Reach. The fact that Bungie successfully managed to keep the plot consistent with the overarching Halo storyline without any significant loopholes is no small feat.

Spoiler: show
Is it just me or did anyone find Kat's demise, and more importantly the events that transpire post-credits, to be a little disturbing? The remaining Noble Team casualties had lesser impact, IMO. Jorge seemed like he was desperate to die or something lol.
Watching Noble 6 get slaughtered wasn't a pretty sight. I mean, I knew he was eventually going to get killed and all, but still! I managed to survive for like 8-9 minutes, hoping for a miracle. But alas, the inevitable had to happen.

While I've had a lot of issues with Halo 3 and ODST (and Halo 2, to a lesser extent), I totally agree with Raptoria (and USUF, obviously :p) when it comes to Halo Reach. It is indeed the best game in the series, and among the best first-person shooters of this generation. Plus, it's easily the best shooter released this year. Far more appealing and enjoyable than those war themed shooters that get churned out each year. IMO, of course! :)



P.S. In other news, Bungie shares thoughts on developing Reach (contains story spoilers):

Jorge's sacrifice was the most noblest of all the nobles :( the poor dude detonated the thing thinking he was saving Reach, but it ended up being a move with little to no impact on the grand scale :(

Errr...I'm not even going to edit my post. Too much MW2 stuck in my head. Capt. Jacob Keyes. How the HELL can I forget? Its just that Capt. Price has been the dominating Captain since his debut in Call of Duty 1 in 2003.

And I'm 100% sure that Price was introduced in 2003 with Call of Duty 1. Infinity Ward just loves this character. They "relaunched" him with MW1...but coming back to the topic.

Spoiler: show
Emile's death was kinda awesome. He took 2 to 3 Elites with him. He certainly was one badass member of Noble Team. Kat just died. Noble 6 was massacred. Why did Carter have to sacrifice himself to destroy a Scarab. Master Chief took out 5 scarabs in Halo 3 all by himself, but Carter went out in style. "Carter out" - BOOM.

Since everyone's here, i'd just like to talk about something that i do most of the time when i play the game.

Launch "The Long night of Solace". Less than 5 minutes later you will arrive at the launch center and then the cutscene of launching into space with the Sabre...When the cutscene launches, increase the volume of your setup to a ridiculous level because the sound effects in that cutscene are simply awesome.

There is a moment where the Camera is inside the Cockpit for about 10 seconds or so, the sounds of the engine's boom and the components in the cockpit shaking and rattling combined with the beautiful OST playing in the BG....Really you HAVE to try it once. That cutscene is probably the one that i love above all...
