I didn't realize this game had actually existed until now. This game sucks balls, I'm sorry but there's no other way to describe this from my opinion, and it doesn't deserve the title ''Halo''.

What a waste....

I like them both. Honestly, I don't see why people always hate on other games.

Unfortunately Halo 3 is better. I still do try to enjoy Reach as much as I can although it's tough.

Halo is soooo much better than Reach. Reach sucks

Halo 3 campaign, matchmaking > reach campaign, matchmaking.
Reach forge, custom games > Halo 3 forge, custom games.

Halo reach feels like a game they took 3 minutes to make aimed at noobs.
H3 way better

I just need the Endure Achievement and I'll get my Halo 3 Recon. :)

I wanna get Reach because I want to compare it to Halo 3.

I sure wish I had Halo CE, halo 2, & halo wars so I can complete my halo collection! :)

Halo 3 is so much better. It's just so simple. You spawn, grab what you need, and play to win. It relies pretty much solely on skill, strategy and teamwork. Reach = chuck on perpetual cloaking and sit in a corner. Reach = armor lock every five seconds like a wimp. Reach = Fly around the map like an idiot on a jetpack. Yeeaaahhh, sounds like an awesome 'HALO' experience.

Reach is so unnecessarily complicated and was just stuffed to the fullest extent with random, useless crap like jetpacks, armor lock, 'credits', and the ability to sprint. That's not Halo stuff, that's CoD stuff.

I'm sticking with Halo 3. But I'm not 'complaining' about anything, just stating personal thoughts and reasons. Play what you wanna play.

When you have honest researched opinions, you get banned from Bnet alot...

Halo CE > Halo 2 = Halo Reach (2 better slightly)> Halo 3 > ODST (bad) and Wars

Thats my opinion. Reach just has so much more potential then Halo 3 did at launch, and things are improving. 3 just was held back by a bullsh**** ranking system that let cheaters propser and made rank locking too easy.

Honestly I don't ever think Halo has had a REALLY good ranking system as of yet...Reach Arena isn't much better currently. But I don't love the Halo series for the ranking system.

I find that I like Halo Reach better than Halo 3, and 2, if you don't think so than just keep playing halo 3. Though, I have to agree with you, those guys with jet packs are annoying, not really as a cheap can't get a kill on those guys kind of thing but more of a "what are you doing flying across the map like that thing?" were they're just easy kills (witch I take full advantage of). As for the active camo guys, most of them suck at aiming anyways AND you take more damage while in active camo, so that's a crappy argument, unless you're too stupid to realize that they're not totally invisible and you still see them if you look hard enough, and a good way to find out what general direction they're at is whenever you see all of the red dots, he/she is in the center.

P.S.Barely any of you are even given a decent reason why you think that Halo 3 is better.

you have to remember that Halo 3's had its title update and years of community ideas and stuff to support it. Give Reach some time

Reach is way better cause you can assasin opponets and you got new weapons such as the grenade launcher and the focus rifle.


Grenade launcher sucks, Focus Rifle gives you a chance to escape when being shot, the Beam Rifle doesn`t, DMR is same as BR, just requires less skill, assassinations suck because people often steal your kills or you get killed by an opponent while assassinating someone.


the grenade launcher is one of the best weapons to ever be in a Halo game. It's amazing. The Focus Rifle isn't meant to be a replacement for the Beam Rifle, it's a support weapon. You have to be smart with assassinations and that hardly ever happens anyway

  • 12.07.2010 7:57 PM PDT

Wait...what?

Reach is great! I still love Halo 3 though. I love them both.

i prefer halo 3, but i have spent a long time on that game with friends, so i have many good memories.

i'm looking forward to playing the Reach campaign when i get my xbox back.

Deutschland uber alles!

Exactly! What you just said sums up everything I have been saying. Halo 3 is much simpler but not in a difficulty sort of way. In terms of gameplay, it was very straight forward. We knew what had to be done and we did it. Halo reach is a bunch of distractions mixed in with noob tactics. Most of the players on reach would get raped in previous halo games because they have very little skill because reach doesnt demand skill. It gives you so many cheap kills and cheap ways to avoid death skill is irrelevant. Who needs to learn how to beat somebody 1 on 1 if you can just armor lock if you lose? Halo 3 > reach.

  • 12.08.2010 8:47 PM PDT

I miss the maps from Halo 3, but I love the new gameplay mechanics from Reach.

I don't have to kill you quickly, you know

Yeah, not a huge fan of Reach. Too slow and boring for me.

On the other hand, Halo 3 has little amount of players, so I've started playing CoD. Reach is just..... Terrible.

...sames :/

Please drop price of ODST or at least put maps on marketplace Bungie! :(

Reach is garbage, they should have continued with Halo 4.

I agree with you on this. In the last months before Halo reach was relaeased (and previous years) I used to destroy and almost always lead my team to victory. In Halo Reach the loadouts totaly screw up the gameplay. Its just not fun playing agaist someone who didn't even work for their "special power up". In Halo 3 you had to work to get your equipment and then you were rewarded by it. Now everyone gets the rewards and no one does any work. So skill is not as much of a factor when playing, its more who starts shooting the other guy first. The maps also stink in halo reach. They all have the same basic atmoshpere. In Halo 3 they did a good job in balincing the styles of maps that they made like valhala or high ground. Plus in halo reach there are no real weapon spawns that attracts everyones attencion. Countdown is really the only map with thaat kind of spawn and even then the person closest will always get it without a fight. If Halo Reach wants to get my favor then they have to: get rid of the loadouts or armor abilities, build a more diverse quantity of maps, and build equipment and weapon spawn that actually attract peoples attention like "The Narrows" rocket spawn. I still think Reach is a good game, but I will always go back to (in my opinion) the true halo (3). I'd rather play 1 or 2 but they arn't really working. So I guess in answer to the question I would have to say that I like Halo 3 better than halo reach. Plus I like the thought of a trilogy better.
Long Live Halo!

I think that the grenade launcher is a hoax, the beam rifle is useless and the assassinations are cool yet ineficient. In the beta the granade launcher blew butt, but now it kills NOTHING. Unless your playing elite slayer on hemmorige you won't kill more than one person with a focus rifle. Plus if you play invasion slayer the spartan sniper also snipes the elite with the focus rife. The assasinations while cool to watch often get you killed so I would make it a differnet button to assasinate and keep the traditional beat downs. The DMR is also a pathetically cheap weapon to play with. No skill to kill.
I still like reach in some aspects though.

I like a lot of things in Halo 3 more than I like Halo: Reach, but it doesn't really matter what. The only reason I play reach is because Halo 3 is dying. =(

Yeah I preferred halo 3 over reach purely due to better maps and there's good jumps and nooks that require skill and are fun to learn like g1 to g2 on guardian. Reach went tooooooo far by adding all the jet pack, armor lock etc. The maps in reach are -blam!- I much prefer the maps in halo3 and I want the br back. I haveto play reach though as the search engine is much better and I always get green where as in halo3 I always get yellow. Halo3 campaignwS also very good preferred it much more over halo reach. Playing halo reach feels like ur not playing halo at all it's a totally different type of game play. Much preceding halo 3 game play over reach
