All it took was a stew of whoopass.

So I figured the people on this forum would understand. I mean there are just so many reasons why Reach isn't as good as H3. Don't get me wrong I can see why a lot of the Halo community prefers Reach. Typically those who favored the Halo 1 game-play more, prefer Reach because there are a lot of similarities between the two. And those who prefer the Halo 2 game-play more, prefer Halo 3. I happen to be in the latter group. So I figured I'd make a topic, post a few reasons of my own and let everybody else post reasons.
1. DMR/BR comparison-First and foremost I've heard a bunch of different mixed reviews on it, but in my opinion the DMR doesn't even come close to being even remotely as cool/good as the BR. I headshot 5 times with the DMR and half of the time the person doesn't die when I can easily 5-shot someone on H3.
2. Problems with health/shielding- So on Reach I have full health/shields and someone will throw a frag at me and then blam dead. Halo 3 was much better because you didn't have to worry about health, you take down someone's shields and then headshot them, simple as that. The health/shielding system in Reach just seems a bit sketchy, maybe it's just me.
3. Plethora of Maps in H3 and lack there of in Reach- I know this game just came out but honestly, how many maps are there? Like 9? I'm pretty sure H3 had about 12(not sure on the number just kind of guessing) original maps. And they were all pretty much great. I mean Last Resort, High Ground and Valhalla are my favorite H3 maps.
4. Weapons in general- Now some of the Reach guns are really cool like the Grenade Launcher(s) are always fun and that Sentinel Beam-type weapon is pretty great too. But I mean not including the BR, Reach got rid of the beam rifle which I really liked. They kept the Spartan Laser but took away one shot, which can really count if you're fighting a tank or something. Took out the brute shot which was a very underrated gun in H3. The Super Combine(not sure of the name. Needler/carbine mixture type gun), is a hit and miss, either it's really good or you get 6 headshots with it and lose the fight to someone with a magnum. I prefer the Reach Magnum but liked the dual-wielding capability in H3 better.
5. Banshee problems- In Halo 3, not myself personally but a lot of the great players, would hoard the Banshee on maps like Valhalla and make a CTF match insanely easy if they were on your team. In Reach, having to switch between Banshee bombs and the actual gun for the Banshee makes it less "broken" but also less fun if you ask me.
1) The DMR is supposed to be weaker than the BR. That's the point.
2) Your armor is weaker in Reach than in Halo 3. Remember, you're a Spartan III, not a II.
3) I wonder how big some of Halo Reach's maps are... And Forge World...
4) That's your opinion.
5) Maybe because they don't want it "broken"?
