Halo:Reach

Halo: Reach is a first person shooter game, developed by Bungie and published by Microsoft Gamed Studios for the Xbox 360 console. Reach was released in North America, Australia, and Europe on September 14, 2010. Reach was preceded by a multiplayer beta available to those who purchased Halo 3:ODST, in order to gain player feedback for fixing bugs and making gameplay tweaks. Reach is the final Halo title that Bungie will be developing, as the Microsoft-owned studio 343 Industries will take over development for all future games in the series.

The game takes place in the year 2552, where humanity is locked in a war with the alien Covenant on the human colony of Reach weeks prior to the events of H. Players control Noble 6, a member of an elite supersoldier squad, during the battle for the world of Reach. As the Covenant begin their assault on the planet, the UNSC begin their heroic yet ultimately futile effort to halt the brutal alien invaders.

Halo: Reach grossed US $200 million on its launch day, setting a new record for the franchise. The game sold well in most territories, moving more than 3 million units its first month in North America. Some reports suggest this figure is closer to 5 and a half million. Critical reception was positive
