I love Halo: Reach. Just chiming in once again as I take a break from my addiction.

Someone should get everyone's Xbox gamertags in a nice neat list.
I have several old games, I wonder how much I could get for them. Then maybe I can afford Halo Reach.

Got my hands on Halo Reach last weekend. Been playing it with the lady. EvilShenanignz1 is my gamertag.

Also been playing some Madden 11 for PS3. Some major improvements in this game.

So is nobody playing Dead Rising 2? I need a new game and I hate shooters, so I'm heading out to pick it up later and I'm wondering why nobody mentioned it here.

Beat Reach on legendary co-op. I think it was a tag more difficult than previous games on legendary, at least until the game switched from Elites to Brutes. Taking out 4 elites in one room was quite the task since they have smaller heads and are much more agile. Brutes still die easy.

Taking on 4 hunters at once was probably the most fun part of the campaign.

I've done 6/9 of the Halo Reach missions on solo legendary, though I didn't get credit for one and have to replay it (I'm super excited about that).

I've never done solo legendary on Halo's before, always just co-op. It's definitely a different experience. Frustrating plenty, but pretty satisfying when you finally figure out how to clear that room of elites or get past sets of hunters or how to skip some battles altogether. I accept the cheap kills and increased skill of the AI, but I do hate the paucity of ammo. Nothing worse than finding yourself in a situation where you're out of useful ammo and there are a few tough enemies left before your next checkpoint.
