Its a classic because at the time, it was the first of its kind, and no one had seen anything like it. It revolutionarised gaming. People were amazed. But now, ten years later, you lok a it and realise ifs a pretty crap game The only reason people still say they love it is because they loved it at the time and refuse to let go, and refuse to let newer games in. Thats why theres so much hate for Reach IMO. And i think Bungie knew this. They knew no one had seen anything like it, and they would be so blown away by it that they woulldnt realise how crappy a game it was. They didnt have to make it good. They could have easily made it to the quality of Halo 2 or Halo 3. These two games are great because bungie realised people would expect more. I know i said i'd leave you guys alone, but i had to get this off my chest. Now to prepare for the armies of evil nostalogic people (sorry been playing too much Oblivion) And any typos in thispost are down to this crappy iPad, not me
