How to play Halo: Reach

"Halo: Reach" is the sixth video game in the Halo series, released by Bungie in September 2010 and is a prequel to "Halo 3: ODST." The game, released for the Xbox 360, is a first-person shooter that grossed $200 million on launch day, a new record for the franchise. One reason the franchise has been so successful is by incorporating many different game types and methods to play. "Halo: Reach" follows this model, and is a favorite to play alone, or with friends.
