Subject: Who here likes Halo 3 better than Reach?

Halo 3 gameplay is better than reach. But reach is addicting with its multitude of playlists. Just hope they can put more H3/H2 into reach. If they dont I guarantee it wont last as long or as strong as H3 has.

"Tough luck, catch and lag ON!"

I just went back to Halo 3 today. It feels so much cleaner and more Halo-y.

Question Mark?

I play reach mainly because every one switched. But Halo 3 will always be better. I just have too many memories from this game that reach cant replace.

Reach is, quite possibly, the worst game I've played in a while.
Worse than MW2, worse than any other Halo game, worse than just about every game I've played in two years or so.

Hahaha Nahh You have to be pretty strange to say halo 3 is better, everything about reach is better, execpt ARMOR LOCK!!!!|

I'm the cult of personality,
I call it like i see it, if i feel the need to be blunt and to the point, then i will, if i feel the need to be very detailed, i will, im here to stay and im here to do things my way, if you respect that or not is your choice, not mine,
and don't worry, while i don't agree with everyone's opinion, i do respect everyone's opinion.

i like both games

Halo Reach is better than Halo 3 IMO except for the ranked games

  • 10.24.2010 3:11 PM PDT

50s in: Slayer, Doubles, Lone Wolves, Objective, Ranked BTB, Swat, Snipers.

H1- Great. Very little auto-aim/bullet magnetism and fast player movement made it a necessity to have precise aiming ability. The Pistol was a very versatile gun than killed quickly, meaning less margin for error for an opposing player. However, every gun had an ideal situation to be used, and the Pistol could be trumped if the opposing player uses his weapons correctly. Maps and powerup locations promoted team movement rather than camping.

H2- The gimmicks and newb-friendly changes are starting to be implemented. Massive amounts of auto-aim/bullet magnetism are added. Rate of fire was slowed on the primary mid-range weapon (BR) allowing opposing players more room for error. Field of view decreased significantly. Maps and weapon timers are changed to promote more team camping. Dual wielding and "noob combo"...don't need to say anything about that. Rockets now lock on to vehicles, etc.

H3- The beginning of the end. Equipment is added basically as a bailout so that the player is free to roam anywhere at anytime without fear of being killed. BR Spread is added to ensure that bad players will not have to worry about being killed from longer ranges before getting to cover. Respawning fusion coils are added to corners on almost every map, can't go through teleporters backwards, etc. Unnecessary weapons like Mauler, Grav Hammer, and Spiker added. Melee lunge now requires no aiming whatsoever.

Reach- The end. Gameplay is now more random than Wheel of Fortune. Armor Lock, Drop Shields, Jetpacks, Sprint, etc. Every game is now a roll of the dice...a cluster-blam!- of superpowerful player attributes that are replenished all game. Slow ass rate of fire + bloom = fail. More random variables = less skill and more luck required to win, all purposely added to allow the casual player to succeed quickly. GOW style assassinations that serve no purpose. Four million armor combinations and worthless add-ons that serve no purpose other than to captivate the simple minded folk. "ZOMG COOL CHEIF VOICE OMG ARMOR LIGHTNING BOLTS ROBOTIC ARM!!1 BEST GAME EVAR". Thanks for selling out Bungie, and thanks for turning a great franchise into a joke.

RIP Halo franchise

The thing is, a lot of the best default Halo Reach players and some of the biggest default Halo 3 Matchmaking warriors.


Gotta love those verb-less sentences.

Nothing is better than gaming through the day, into the night, then back into the day. It's like when you finally push that power button you feel like you've accomplished nothing, but at the same time, you can't stop smiling.

Halo 3 will always be the better game IMO.

Really? And what brought firefight into Reach? Sure, it had a couple of problems, but I would rather play against a horde of enemies and still feel badass than only feeling like a hero once in a while.

While I do love both games, I have to say that Halo 3 edges out Halo: Reach for me. I love Reach, I've been playing it exclusively since launch, but as a Halo game I like Halo 3 better. I think Halo 3 has better guns, better campaign, better Theater mode, much better maps, and better multiplayer.

Reach has better graphics, better animation (I guess technically it's not animation since they used mo-cap), better Forge mode, and better customization system.

I'm torn on the soundtracks though, I love them both so much, but Halo 3's was packed with so much Combat Evolved nostalgia, I think I have to pick it.

Like I said, I absolutely love all of the Halo games and think that everyone of them is superior to all other games (I'm a huge Halo fan, lol), but as they compare to each other, Halo 3 is my favorite.

I almost forgot about Reach having Firefight, I love me some Firefight. Although, since ODST is technically an expansion of Halo 3 (hence the title "Halo 3: ODST"), I guess Halo 3 has it too.

The only people that want reach back are 1.boosters 2.de-rankers 3.glitchers,etc.You feel soo sad you can't reach a level 50 in 6hours anymore.Hide above or below the map and take cheap shots.No more quad shooting and now you have to actually play the game to rank up.Go back to halo 3.I'm a legit brigadier and i sure as hell won't miss you.The only think that sucks about reach is the rank cap.OH YEAH,IT WAS PUT IN PLACE BECAUSE OF YOU CHEATERS.THX.THERE'S STILL A FEW OF YOU STILL TRYING TO CHEAT.I HOPE THEY CATCH ANOTHER 15,000 OF YOU INCLUDING YOU JERKS WITH YOU TUBE CHEAT VIDEOS.

My first xbox live gamertag was Gangsta Tic but now I am Sir Tic after I lost the information with that account. I wish I could change my name to Sir Tic here.

Halo: CE & Halo 2 for both the xbox and PC. :)

Reach blows.

This is the best observation of Halo CE I have ever seen! As you pointed out, Halo CE was the best Halo. Imo, it was just lacking in graphics and needed some minor implementations (i.e. remove the 1 headshot to the back of Hunter exploit, make Zealots always charge at you, Energy Sword glow removed for stealth Elites).

Anyways, I disagree about Halo 3 being the beginning of the end. The Campaign has some great glitches, and it provides entertaining gameplay on Legendary when Mythic, Tilt, Thunderstorm, and Tough Luck are turned on.

Maybe just Halo 3's multiplayer.
