My 2 pence:
Managed to grab a copy on the way home from work. Had an hour on the campaign and an hour messing around on MP (including install and figuring out the menus).
Campaign is cool. Kinda reminds me of Halo 1 actually which is no bad thing at all. Really don't like what they've done to the grunts though. By changing the voice on them they've completely sucked out all the life and fun which is a real big shame.
The game is looking very pretty over all and the best lighting I've seen in an xbox title. For some reason the controls are not sticking with me yet. Guess I was just used to old Halo controls.
The multiplayer stuff was really confusing to me, not sure why but it took me far too long to suss out the menus and the separate hubs and what not. Baffling.
I didn't play Reach MP for long but I remember not liking it too much, it didn't feel as pure as Halo3's offering. This seems to continue the Reach legacy at first glance, and has also been smacked round the chops with a CoD fish. I don't like that at all. Let CoD be CoD and Halo be Halo!
