About Gamersyde
Gamersyde is a commercial multiplatform web portal based in Europe, with hundreds of thousands of visitors each month from all over the world. We cover both handheld and video games platforms and the site has grown into one of the biggest gaming sites in the continent. We are able to offer fast news delivery and HD content from the upcoming games, and one of the greatest and friendliest gaming communities in the world. The HD content we provide always respects the original resolution and framerate of the games we capture, making Gamersyde the one and only place to get 1080p/4K/60fps videos with high bitrate. At a time when Youtube's subpar video compression has become the norm for most people on the Internet, we refuse to give up quality without a fight. We now also produce HDR videos, which can only be enjoyed by those who own compatible televisions. The content we produce is obviously not free of use should you want to upload our videos on your own website or YouTube channel.

I would like to propose that the only game that stands stories tall above the rest in the series is inarguably the first Halo. Comparing ANYTHING that happens in Reach to Halo 1, both in terms of encounter setup (SILENT CARTOGRAPHER DAMMIT!) and meaningful plot events is utterly forfeit.
I'm a huge fan of Halo, I've played all of them including oft overlooked Wars and ODST and I derive genuine pleasure - just to different degrees - from them all, but Halo 1 really does tower above the rest and casts a long dark shadow impossible to get out from underneath with anything the franchise has thrown at us since. Everything is in essence derived from it, and the law of diminishing returns is hopelessly applicable.
Edit: This is all multiplayer aside, but.. that's probably abundantly clear. :P

Since 7006 DaysWith the proper care, this could stand as my favorite in the series. It needs: more maps (more 4v4 maps, dammit.. even the "small" maps are actually quite large); Better playlists. The latter includes major (and minor) tweaks to available loadouts in standard games, and playlists that include pro slayer only and other dedicated playlists. It's still a brilliant package, but the lack of map variety in MP is seriously a bummer. I do love that there's actually an 8v8 BTB mode again, and that there's the wonderful thing called "Hemorrhage"--even if it's no Valhalla (nostalgia aside) when it comes right down to it!
But people are still drinking the hype kool-aid. It's still the best game I've played all year (though, honestly, Bad Company 2 comes in a very close second--and if it had more maps and better conquest layouts it probably wouldn't even have been a contest), but the hyperbole is amazing.
On the other hand, if you're talking about the package and not the campaign, I actually think he's mostly right. Halo CE can't compare to what Reach offers, or to what Halo 2 or Halo 3 offered for that matter. The Halo-Live experience has grown quite a bit, and if you're not on board, you're really missing what Halo is all about.
(in my opinion, since that's never taken as a given)

Since 7029 DaysAnd in the case of mp, I have felt compelled to get on board with that stuff with Reach, but as I've previously stated, that type of activity usually comes bundled with anxiety for me since I have all these other games I wanna keep up with. Spending time with something endless is really, really diffcult for me psychologically. Prolly has to do with my "proffession" aswell, since I don't have proper work hours, any time of day could be "doing something productive" time instead of "playing match 963 out of ONE BILLION BILLION" time.
But we'll see if I can wrestle my OCD issues. :)

Since 6331 DaysAlso, isn't the goddamn needler a bit imbalanced? Come near a fucker with a needler and you are DEAD. I mean, it's such a 0-skill weapon, just point it somewhat in the direction and let that swarm loose.

Since 6508 DaysIt's also a super lame kill stealer because it super combines with the Needler Rifle. They kept respawning for single cheap kills and I almost couldn't keep up the pace.
Since 7006 DaysI actually could have gone without the old Spiker and Plasma Rifle all together. They seem like a waste of space to me.

Since 6980 DaysI dream with a day that a halo game have a custom games browser.
Since 6866 Days** Yes We CAN!! **
Since 6078 DaysAlso, this has to be one of the worst games for spawn camping, you give a team vehicles and theres next to nothing that can take them out except other vehicles, so whoever gets the first vehicle kill has a huge advantage. This often turns into a spawn camp session where they can then commandeer any additional vehicles that spawn, so not only do you have to deal with 1 tank, but 2.
Also, im gettin might sick of paradiso and the blood gultch map, seem to be played 9/10 games one of those 2.

Granted, Scorpions aren't actually hard to kill, and technically, hand grenades and plasma pistols are AT weapons in this game :P

Since 6991 DaysI do like that players are penalized for quitting too many games by way of temporary(15 min) ban.
Zapp Brannigan: If we can hit that bull's eye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards...Checkmate.
Since 6078 DaysJust spent an hr playing big team battle, lost every single game, was outnumbered in every single one, and 3 of them turned into spawn camping sessions while we were trying to avoid banshees, tank and warthog fire every time we spawned in the exact same places.
Finally turned it off when it started a game and immediately went to switching host and stayed there for over 4 minutes, oh how i miss dedicated servers.
