Reach was utter fukking garbage. Bloom was a retarded idea, the maps where horse shyt, & jetpack broke everything.
Millions of gamers disagree with you.

Millions of gamers disagree about everything. It's those same millions of gamers who argue about DMR vs BR in Halo 4 & those same millions of gamers who argue that the boltshot isn't op.
Bloom was a bad idea with how it was when Reach first came out. It was random as hell & playing online with something like that made everything retarded. It got better when they toned it down. The maps being bad are personal opinion I guess, but the jetpack broke most of them. Everyone in a game having the ability to have a jetpack broke everything, those types of things should be pickups if anything.
None of that makes the game "trash"
Not as good as other halo games, maybe
disappointment, Yes
But games like Alien Colonial Marines are trash and Halo Reach does not fit in that lane.

Yusuf Mehdi, senior vice president of Microsoft's Interactive Entertainment Business, just sat down alongside Nancy Tellem, Corporate Vice President at Microsoft LA Studios, to kick off this year's rendition of D:Dive Into Media here in Dana Point, Calif. The first session of the evening is being piloted by AllThingsD's Peter Kafka, and naturally, the topic of conversation is Xbox. For starters, Mehdi affirmed that Microsoft is witnessing an unmistakable transition of the Xbox 360 "from a gaming console to an entertainment console." At present, the install base is up to 76 million (up from around 70 million at the close of September 2012), with US-based users using the console for some 87 hours per month.
In fact, he stated that 18 billion (yeah, with a "B") hours of entertainment have been consumed on Xbox, and while Netflix is obviously the driving force, it might not be that way for much longer. He was quick to claim that Sony's PlayStation 3 "isn't as good of an entertainment console" -- something he feels that "everybody knows" -- and insinuated that the next-generation Xbox will stick to "big and premium." In other words, don't expect Microsoft to kick out a $50 Roku-style content box. Mehdi wants to ensure that the future of Xbox enables voice control, interactivity, and "other stuff that's big and beautiful."
Kicking the conversation over to Tellem, she affirmed that Microsoft is going to invest in premium content -- and in fact, said that she "hopes" for some of it to actually hit end users this year. Not surprisingly, folks are going to be asked to pay for it, but she wasn't willing to talk specifics. Of course, existing Xbox Live users are technically already paying, so it's possible that this new wave of content will be bundled into that monthly cost. When asked if Microsoft was planning to fund its own shows (much like Amazon and Netflix are doing), she seemed open to the idea, but also noted that Microsoft will absolutely partner with existing studios and content creators in order to give them yet another outlet (read: not pay-TV) to get people hooked.
Finally, she noted that there's "more latitude" in what kinds of material they can produce given that console distribution isn't as regulated as traditional broadcast. And, while a good deal of it will aim to satisfy the 18-24 male demographic, we're told that womenfolk and families will be looked after, too. Oh, and as for these Microsoft-funded shows hitting other distribution outlets? According to Tellem, that's unlikely -- at least at first -- but a sizable enough check from the likes of Hulu, Amazon, Sony, etc. could very well change that. In response to a question from TechCrunch's Ryan Lawler, Tellem noted that Microsoft's desire to churn out original, interactive entertainment is a way to both "move consoles, create new relationships with consumers and to expand [Microsoft's] audience," and from a higher level, to create the next generation of TV and "have it be a hit."

Say it with me now, big budget games produce big budget graphics.With Naughty Dog, Sony Santa Monica, Guerilla Games, Evolution Studios, Polyphony Digital, and media molecule all under Sony's umbrella?if you believe that shyt. Sony has the best looking games THIS gen and will have it next too.
Meanwhile the Next Snitchbox gonna be taking pics of you naked and making you pay MS to get them removed from Live Marketplace.....
sony spent and lost more money this gen than most companies in the world have
They can't afford to do it again because you guys didn't buy the games.. sorry
