Hanger one I just shredded with the SMGs until ammo was out and I just threw 'nades like a boss while BRing.
My experience playing Cairo Station on Legendary
My god, after playing halo reach, I can say that halo 3 is far greater. "Why?" you may ask. Let me explain.
Maps
The maps in halo 3 had their fair share of disadvantages. But, what do we notice? How often are we ACTUALLY upset when we get a bad map. Not too often. The Halo Reach maps are multi-leveled, overly complex, and unappealing to some extent.
I myself simply find that the geometry in Halo 3 favors fast gameplay.
Armor Abilities
Armor abilities in reach, are cool from the outside, but REALLY slow down how we play. Half of the AAs make you slow down, stop and force you to run through every single scenerio. We don't want to slow down in a FPS, it's all about the fast paced action. In Halo 3, you can run in and take your chance, though, you don't have to think too much into your decision, it's more common sense.
Quitters
Now if you thought that Halo 3 quitting was horrid, you've seen nothing yet. When quitting in Halo 3, MAYBE the game will pause for 5 secs, Reach however, usually has pauses for at least 10 secs. There seems to be more quitters on top of that.
Player Movement
Halo 3 is known for having Halo Jumping, and outrageous player movement, but that was fun! The speed was excellent. Reach's speed is a little slower, and you seem to be caught in the cross fire more often. This may, however, boil down to the Maps as said above.
Weapon Bloom
This is my actually the one addition I do not mind. It does separate the lower skilled players from the higher. At times it seems as though it's pure randomness. Someone could be firing as fast as they could have have the luck of getting 5.S.K while someone could have a 13.S.K. This again, slows down the gameplay.
Conclusion
Though Halo reach does have it's awesome additions, but, in reality, it has slowed down considerably since Halo 3. I feel myself getting bored during matches, and losing my attention. My final comment will be short and sweet: Halo 3 rules!
