Yeah solo, I'd imagine coop would help alright.

The only coop mission I've attempted so far was with mick, got to the end of the 2nd mission of CE and it froze. Had to quit and lose all progress.

Matchmaking is still a joke.

Game seems to have a few issues sadly.

xbox live service alert still in effect, maybe thats affecting your co-op and matchmaking.

the game was definitely under a deadline to be out for thanksgiving & to move some consoles, I have complete faith that any issues will be ironed out pretty quickly

Playing through Halo 2 campaign now with my housemate, as brilliant as ever! Halo 2 was always the hardest game on legendary.

I got maybe two hours into Halo 2 as enjoyable as ever although surprised how much of it I had forgotten, I'm having some issues with achievements unlocking, going to try and get some halo CE in tomorrow befor info away for a week for work!

Yeah couple of level completion achievements didn't unlock for me either, usually when it happens they unlock a day or two later

Amazon emailed me on Monday saying there will be a delay with my copy. Should have it late tonight through PM though. Something about late stock arriving in.

Reach has a great story though

Its the best story of all the games.

You don't win missions, you just do what you can while overall defeat is certain.

The whole fall of Reach is the most fleshed out as well, assisted by an accompanying novel.

As a single player game, Reach is my favourite, but too short at only 9 missions.

How so?

I can think of 1 thing.

Master chief being is stasis at the start of Halo 1.... Vs him just being fighting on reach & boarding the Pillar of Autumn the day before.

Yeah, there is that and there is something about Cortana but I can't recall right now. (Edit)

""The final objective of "Halo: Reach" has your character, Noble 6, making a mad sprint to the Pillar of Autumn with a very important A.I. in tow. Yep, it's Cortana, and she's loaded down with valuable Forerunner data, which will be used throughout the rest of the "Halo" games. This makes Noble 6 an extremely important part of the "Halo" mythos. Arriving just in time, 6 hands Cortana over to Captain Keyes and sees the Autumn escape certain doom from a Covenant warship before making the fateful slip-space jump which will end at the first Halo installation.

In "Halo: The Fall of Reach," however, Cortana was chilling on the Autumn with Master Chief a full day before they had to escape from the Covenant, and her arrival had nothing to do with the heroic Noble Team members.""

Basically Bungie say that only the games are cannon and everything else is wrong if it goes against anything in the games.

""Basically Bungie wanted to serve the story of "Halo: Reach" as much as they could, and if that meant creating a few contradictions, it's worth the sacrifice to have a better game.""

"There's a ton of deviation outside of Bungie's canon that our fans and other writers have created. While we certainly had no interest in making a literal adaptation of "The Fall of Reach" book, we were cognizant of the event structure and the historical time line within that book, and we wanted to play nice with it as much as we possibly could."

it really makes me wonder how did bungie go so wrong with destiny?

One word, Activision. Change the story, cut out parts to make money and keep milking. That's basically it.
