Halo Reach

Ah, a prequel to all the other Halo games. The year 2552, and humanity is locked in a war with the Alien Covenant on the human colony of Reach. No, you do not control Master Chief. I think they're done with him for now. You control a guy named Noble 6, a member of an elite super soldier squad, during this "battle for the world of Reach". Like all the other Halo games, it is a first person shooter. In Halo 3 players wield one use equipment power ups that offer offensive or defensive advantages. It is replaced in Reach by reusable and persistent armor abilities that remain with the player until they are replaced. There are also abilities to use a hologram, jetpack, active camo, sprint, and "armor lock", which makes you invincible in exchange for loss of mobility. There are also some new weapons in addition to some tweaked older ones. The game has had very positive reviews. GameRankings and Metacritic 92.23% and 93%.
