Halo 3 is my favorite out of the Halo games. Reach isn't bad really but gets old after two online matches. Really the only thing that Reach has that Halo 3 doesn't is probably a little better graphics maybe but if anything else Halo 3 is the beast of 'em all and I'm gonna keep believing in that unless Halo 4 really is amazing but without Bungie creating it I don't know what its gonna be like.

I agree with the first one, but I disagree with the others.

On LNoS, I gave 5 army soldiers rocket launchers on Heroic and they all died (although this could have been because how the Covies fire more further). I give 1 army trooper in the cliffs the rocket launcher and 1 army trooper way back near the armor abilitise a rocket launcher and they do much better than those 5 army troopers. In Halo 3 on Heroic, the marines put up a good fight and don't die so easily.

Halo 3 Campaign's gold mine level was The Covenant. Reach had nothing comparable except the first half of LNoS.

I could care less about multiplayer.

I agree that Halo 3 ODST was a good game, but I say Halo 2 > all others.

If Team Swat became ranked, would there still be no shields?


Amazing!

I like Reach more than 3, I have grown tired of Halo 3 and stopped playing it around mid 09.

Halo 2 > all

"Get up and i shall kill you, Again and again!"

"Star Wars is the greatest thing since oxygen, possibly greater.

if i made a typo deal with.

i'm begining to like 3 more than reach, for many reasons, in fact i'll probably start playing it again with some of my friends.

Reach takes less skill than all the other halos.

Skill-wise- ( and also the best halos in order imo except switch halo 1 and 2 because halo 2 was just epic)

Halo 1 > Halo 2 > Halo 3 > Halo Reach

bungie made the games easier as time went on. try playing halo 1 or 2 then switch to reach. auto-aim is ridiculous in reach.

Don't forget about fairness.

Halo 1 was definitely fair, since all the weapons were practical in use and effective.

Halo 2 was hard, truly difficult (not this -blam!- they try to pass off as Reach Legendary), but was still fair since you could kill all the enemies without suffering repercussions (i.e. flying scenery splatters you). In this game, you almost always will die by the Covies hand. Also, the Jackals snipers aren't 100% accurate. Maybe 90%.

Halo 3 was often unfair, but it still had legitimate difficulty. Jackals suffered from plasma pistol battery drain, Jackal snipers weren't near omniscient, Brutes were easy to assassinate (realistic, but made it easy), and Flood could easily be destroyed (realistic, but made it easy). As for Chieftains, I particularly enjoyed trying to get sticks on them. I didn't have a problem with their shields reflecting grenades since I could easily assassinate them.

Same thing with Halo 3 ODST. The Jackal sniper's beam rifle did less damage on ODSTs and you could practically skip through most of the levels. Not to mention the true return of the Halo 1 pistol (a little recoil, but that's reasonable, since you're playing as an ODST).

But Reach was just an abomination. Unfairness at it's highest.

Enemies have cheap advantages, now very noticeable (i.e. Ultra Grunt helmets, Jackals have one less cutout, Jackals charge their plasma pistol way too fast, Jackals can shoot immediately after a plasma pistol overcharge, Grunt Minors and Jackal Minors have way too much health even on Heroic, unshielded Elite Majors don't recoil after being meleed, etc.).

AI is hardly improved. They only look improved and often have near omniscience in certain instances.

Reach is absolute garbage. I don't say this because of armor abilities. I say this because of the aforementioned things.

The only redeeming factors it had was LNoS's mission start, Tip of the Spear's starting cutscene, and Ultra Elites.

Reach is way better cause you can assasin opponets
That can be simulated in Halo 3 using a Elite player model.

Simply go up to someone who has his back turned, press LT then Y, wait, then press B button. This will make it look like you just stabbed someone with a grenade/planted a grenade into his back. You also look badass while doing it.

Diabolical surgery really. Unfortunately, the grenade throw trick can't be used in matchmaking.

If you have the Energy Sword, simply crouch and lunge at a enemy. You'll kill the enemy before finishing the animation, just like in Halo Reach.

so basically someone likes it because you can basically do a fatality in reach?

Have you ever seen the blast radius of an actual plasma grenade?

I achieved my Recon armor through the screenshot contest Team Control, not Bungie Day or ODST. 5/29/09
No, Luke! Noo!
64th last player to play Halo 2 online.

I enjoy them both, but Halo 3 was more fun to me. I don't see any of the things that I did for fun in Halo 3 in Reach.

I'm sure almost everyone that still views this forum has some negative options of Reach.
