Halo3>Reach

Count me in.

Hslo 3 is far superior. Reach is disgracefully poor.

I'm starting to like Halo 3 better than Reach because the matchmaking system makes sense. In Halo Reach, you always get paired up against Generals, Inheritors, and other people who beats you at everything; not to mention the newbs who make you accidentally betray them so they can boot you and start credit farming.

Halo 3 is short and simple!
Play against players who are skilled and everyone gets about equal advantages!

Maybe Reach would be better if Bungie fixed the matchmaking elements, but Halo 3 is the best at that.

The physics in Halo Reach needs more improvement. I was driving a warthog and rode by this one guy, and all of the sudden he dies even though I barely hit him! And then he booted me.


The Boot Betrayal system in halo 3 Beats reach by far. When someone betrays you, you get the option to boot them immediately.

Don't believe me?

Are you all saying you'd rather play without armor abilities so someone can cheapshot you like they do in halo 3?

  • 01.09.2011 7:10 PM PDT

me reach was a disapoint ment

  • 01.09.2011 7:35 PM PDT

still the game play is still a load of s@$# its not as fun to play with friends on and forge is dumb

  • 01.09.2011 7:38 PM PDT

Okay, I'm seeing alot of crap in here that doesn't make any sense. Well..maybe not A LOT but a couple things that are bothering me and I would like a GOOD EXCUSE AS TO WHY THEY ARE BEING SAID. Not "durp I said it because its true hurp"

Alright question, how can you possibly say that Theater in Halo 3 is better than Theater in Reach????? How! HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT???? I'm not mad, just confused and irritated. They are the same! Hell Theater for Reach is a tiny bit better because when you look in another guys point of view it AT LEAST shows his reticule unlike H3 where it shows nothing, just the direction? I'm just wondering.

Another question, how is Forge in Halo 3 better than Forge in Reach??? Now I'm not a forge kind of guy or anything, I hardly touch it. But I think it IS pretty amazing that the option to make and create these epic maps and mazes and artwork. But how can you say Forge in H3 is better than Reach? Where in Reach you can fine tune EVERYTHING!!! You can take where in H3 you had to pretty much glitch it to work but NOW the ability is just THERE!!! I just want an answer, I'm not saying any of you are wrong in ANY aspect whatsoever I just need an explanation. A decent one, or just a given opinion I don't care.

Thats all my questions.

You could go into theater with friends. They removed that ability so that you could rewind campaign films. Woopee.

Also, the 3rd person viewing angle is much worse in Reach than Halo 3.

People are much more used to moving the object itself instead of moving around the object. If they allowed you to move the object without moving around it, you would have far more superior control.

It is more a nuisance than an actual problem. Other than that though, Reach forge is far superior.

Yes.

Armour Abilities are more of a nuisance than equipment. At least you couldn't spawn with equipment and have pretty much unlimited uses.

Ohhhhh well I actually didn't know about them taking out the ability to watch something with you friend...then again I don't usually watch anything with my friends, I don't like split screen very much and thats the only time I play Reach with them is when they come over, I currently have no Gold membership :(

But that was actually one of the things that annoyed me in Halo 3 theater was the fact that you COULDN'T watch rewind something in campaign. There was plenty of times that I wanted to see how exactly I got killed, more than once. See it, rewind it, see it again in super slow-mo. WHY they couldn't put BOTH Rewind Campaign vids and the ability to watch something with your friend in Reach? I don't know, sounds like they got lazy maybe?

Well, like I said before I'm not a Forge guy but I can see why people might get irritated with different controls that what they were using for what..3 years? Lol well thank you sir. I enjoyed your replies, I could not have possibly asked for better.

Oh and if you can't tell I'm new to these forum things lol

Halo 3 is vastly superior to Reach.

Competitive gameplay in Reach is almost non-existent.


Yea thats kinda how i feel. Halo 3 and Reach are SO different Reach doesn't even feel like halo to me. I also prefer halo 3's graphics to Reach's. Is it just me or are halo 3's graphics better? It just could be the maps are way better designed so it seems like they are better lol.

When we joined The Covenant we took a oath; according to our station all without exception. On the blood of our fathers on the blood of our sons we swore to uphold that oath even to our dying breath.

Don't back down form a fight even if the odds are not favoring your side.

Spinodude568 is not my real account for X-Box live i couldnt remember my password for my real account my real account is Spinodude567.

I must agree halo 3 is better than reach ya reach might have more guns but you only have 1 map to edit on halo 3 u can edit any map on forge.

Well I posted in this thread 3 months ago saying Halo 3 is a bit better than Reach. I can now honestly say that I am really enjoying Reach after logging in some heavy hours into the game. The gameplay to me is fresh and versatile. The sprint feature alone for me is just a joy to play with and jetpacking just adds a new dimension to the game. Halo 3 and Reach are both great games... just different. Right now I would say Reach edges Halo 3 by a hair. I think Reach's popularity is going to be a slow burn that will eventually turn into a full blown forest fire later down the line.

The fact that Reach's popularity is slow to gain steam is not because it's a poor game but because Halo 3 is so freaking awesome and addicting and it's hard to let go. I literally had to grab myself by the arms and drag myself away from Halo 3. It's that addicting. But once you give Reach a chance you'll see that the game has it's own special qualities that are not there in Halo 3.

Right now the only thing that I think is a bit better in Halo3 are the maps. But that's not to say Reach's maps are crap. It has some good ones as well but I just love some of the old Halo 3 maps. But anyway for me Reach and Halo 3 are both great with me having a slight preference for Reach after logging in some heavy hours.

I thought it was just the Nostalgia that made me think that Halo 3 was better then Reach.

Maybe the Nostalgia plays a role in it but to be honost, I just find the Halo 3 Maps, Matchmaking, Graphics(I know right, but I like them) characters and playlists more appealing to me

  • 01.19.2011 10:04 AM PDT

I'm nasty at Halo 3. That's my signature.

I can play Reach, and play well pretty much every game, but I enjoy the overall gameplay of H3 just that slight bit more. Call me crazy.

Halo 3 is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better.

  • 01.20.2011 4:52 AM PDT

i agree, reach is ok but halo 3 is well better, who ever wants to add me can do an il start playing halo 3, the only reason i dont play is cos no one is ever on there all there is are second accounting people which takes all the fun away

we should start mailing bungie or who ever sorts halo 3 out aswell cos there are things wrong like 7 on 7 hasnt came of since reach came out an things like that.

but yeah im deffinatly all for getting people back on halo 3 in my opinion it is well better than reach more fun in it and more enjoyment in my opinion
