Unlike most of you, I play Halo for Campaign. I don't care about being competitive, shooting my friends, or using a number to add weight to my opinion. I just like an enriching story, spectacular Music (no music in Matchmaking is there?) and shooting aliens. No I don't play it to say "I finished" or for Achievements. I play it because I enjoy it more.
In fact, what first got me into Halo was shooting Elites and [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyqvkwBmyjo]"Covenant Dance"[/url] playing while I wound my way through the corridors of the Pillar Of Autumn.
I still enjoy multiplayer, matchmaking, and custom games with my buddies, so I'm really looking forward to using the new Forge and making my own custom games. However, matchmaking in Reach really disappointed me; that doesn't mean Campaign or Firefight will! Can't wait to ride the [url=http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/6105/pioneertruckbodydisable.jpg]Pioneer[/url] and splatter some Brutes, Elites, Skirmies, and maybe we'll see some new enemies?

We're getting a [url=http://www.timeanddate.com/counters/fullscreen.html?mode=a&year=2010&month=6&day=15&hour=0&min=0&sec=0&p0=234]Campaign Demo at E3[/url], which is mid June. (Thank Hylebos for counter)
Who else is stoked? Long live Campaign!

Campaign has [i]always[/i] been the dominant factor of Halo for me, ever since 2001. It has given me some truly unforgettable experiences, backed up with Marty's utterly phenominal score. I spoiled Halo 3 and ODST for myself by watching the leaked footage, I vow to not repeat this for Reach. The only things 'm watching is E3 footage and trailers, [i]nothing[/i] else until I finish the game.
