Yesterday PC gaming was rocked by the Halo franchise’s long awaited return to the platform with Halo Reach – the first instalment releasing , and surprisingly everything seems to be pretty fuck up free…

Even more baffling – when players installed the game after 1PM ET yesterday afternoon they were not only able to play campaign missions as the character’s advertised – but they could also hop into working multiplayer matchmaking with only minor bugs…

We spoke to Marcus117, a player in a Grifball Lobby who seemed to be coming to grips with the realisation that his wildest dreams may actually have come true. “This morning when I logged in to Halo Reach with a mouse and keyboard, it felt pretty surreal – but once I hopped into a lobby and shot another player they actually took damage… Well it was something else.” He told us.

“Thats when I slapped myself to see if I’d wake up – and thank god I didn’t. They’ve actually done it – those mad bastards have actually fucking done it. I was half expecting to get blindsided by micro-transactions or have Noble Six replaced by Locke but everything seems in order so far.” He continued.

Whilst the game is currently providing some expected minor bugs it for the most part is being received well across the gaming sphere.

“It’s almost like, when you actually listen to what fans want and fulfil promises you make they not only will respect you and your brand but will also be willing to buy the fuck out of your product… Who would have guessed?” He finished.

It seems that other fans also appreciated 343’s efforts with Reach peaking at 161,000 concurrent players on launch day making it one of the biggest releases of the year.
