A review of Reach

For many of people it has been a dream to play Halo games on the PC for years. Back during the development of Halo: CE the idea was to make a PC title until a push towards the new XBox platform was made. After 8 years we have finally gotten what many of us wanted. I must acknowledge that the video setting are lacking but the key bindings are remappable and there is a generous FoV slider as well. And anything that has a number value in settings can also be typed in rather than messing around with sliders. The Graphical fidelity is excellent in most places although some textures are clearly still holdovers from the original Reach title, despite this the Enhanced setting for graphics actually does enhance the graphics on a side by side comparison to the same game on the 360 I have next to me. I am truly impressed with the flow and how smooth the gun play is on PC. Very well done and matchmaking is well thought out, although I would like to see more game types, I do hope to see this new and improved forge mode come out soon as it is allegedly a massive improvement over the console version.

I fully recommend this game to old time players and newcomers alike. The campaign is great and the multiplayer is excellent.
