Subject: Who here likes Halo 3 better than Reach?

Reach is amazing, but you can never replace the wonders and memories to be had with Halo 3.

δόξει τις ἀμαθεῖ σοφὰ λέγων οὐκ εὖ φρονεῖν.

I'll be sticking with Halo 3 for the foreseeable future. Is Brigadier General possible before the Xbox 720, I wonder...

Both games have positive aspects.

With regards to multiplayer, Halo 3 offers the better competitive experience.

With regards to the netcode & XBL playability, Reach is significantly better.

At first I really was questionable about Reach, I mean I loved halo 2 and 3, and then reach was soo different than both those games, when you like something how it is, then when a new game comes out your not going to approve of the changes at all, ur just going to have to get used to them, Reach is the new Halo and its going to be the change everyone's going to have to get used to if they want to continue being a Halo gamer.

Halo Reach > Halo 2/3 (had to force myself to say that) LOL

I like Halo 3 better! Halo: Reach is good for its forge and its campaign however they didn't improve the multiplayer. Then there is the credits where if you earn them the hard way your called a noob and if you farm them then your just an -blam!-.

halo 2 still the best game in the series. long live halo 2.

Dam, I miss the old days playing halo 2 with my old brothers in arms. Thank you my old friends for giving me this account, I shall continue our legacy.

I only miss the battle rifle. One weapon that should have been added to halo reach. That is the only reason why I still kept halo 3 after reach came out.

  • 10.01.2010 7:36 PM PDT

Don't believe me?

Reach hasn't been bad at all (been watching my cousin play since I don't have it yet). While I will probably have more halo 3 hours under my belt I can't put one game over the other both have their plus moments.

  • 10.01.2010 10:01 PM PDT

H3 Multiplayer is awful. Some of the worst maps of the series, BR spam, Spartan Laser madness, etc. In Halo 3, you can just pick up a BR and a Spartan Laser and you're automatically anti-everything.


Halo Reach Campaign >>>> Halo 3 Campaign, IMO, although I liked the story of H3's, but I'm talking about overall play here. I did like both stories though.

Reach Multiplayer >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>& gt;>>>>>>>>>>>>>>&g t;>>>>>>>>>> H3 multiplayer.
Massive improvement. I'm not making this up here folks.


Reach Forge >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>& gt;>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>& gt;>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>& gt;>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>& gt;>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>> H3 Forge
Why even bother comparing?

u noob u either suk at H3 or u havent played it



Eh, who are you to talk? You and you're completely uneducated answers!
Don't judge if you've never tried!

havent played reach yet so all i have is 3 but so far halo 3 is better with the equipment instead of sukish armor lock the run power up would be nice though

  • 10.02.2010 1:54 AM PDT

Multiplayer just isn't the same in Reach. With the armor abilities its just so much more random and unskillful. I look at my radar and see no one on it, zoom in for 1-2 seconds and someone runs and assassinates me.

-Biggest problem is that they took out the 1-50 ranking system which for me was the biggest incentive to play. Everything is basically social now and it doesn't matter if you lose unless of course you play the Arena and are given a random number that doesn't mean much just to be put into a division to play against other people in the same division.

-Reticule bloom, I don't really mind the concept when done right in games. I was a huge CounterStrike fan and the bloom was more realistic and fit the game and really was just much more fine tuned and accurate. It just doesn't fit Halo and really shouldn't be in the game period.

-Grenades are little nukes, massive splash damage and players can actually die from a single nade.

-No maps stick out, really I don't go into a matchmaking game and hope to get a certain few of my favorite maps. Literally none of them I care much about.

-So much more random. You can be destroying one guy and another guy who isn't anywhere near you can just run and help his teammate kill you. Similar thing applies to armor lock. It just really takes from the control aspect of the game.

Cry some More? I've had enough mental anguish with Halo 3, least Halo Reach has given me another opportunity.

Reach is more Team oriented.

Indeed, As i have said many time's, No matter how much you enjoy Reach, Halo 3 prevails.

No, just no.
Reach is all about being selfish with kills. Hence the retarded Arena ratings.

Teamwork in Reach gets you no-where, Halo 3 is the last of the team oriented Halo games made by Bungie.

*Shrugs* Just an observation, probably since you've got Armour abilities to assist you.

  • 10.02.2010 3:59 AM PDT

chances are I don't care who you are or what you say.

Halo3>REACH

end of story, the multiplayer is just way better

i love reach,

but i must add i miss the Halo 3 times where the game was slower it just seemed more realsitc, you nade jumped to a place and hide there, now you just keep dying by sprinting and meeling your enemys (most of the time)

I prefer Reach Forge but Halo 3's Campaign + Multiplayer + Theatre is so much better.
No.... your kidding me... you think that Halo 3's -blam!- campaign is better than reaches??? Im calling you out on that one

I like Reach's multiplayer better. I still like Halo 3's though. Hell, I'll play Halo 1 or 2 multiplayer if you asked me to!!!

disregard video games

I havent played Reach in like a week, Havent played Halo 3 in like 2 weeks.

I really, REALLY dont like armor abilities.

I have been playing MW2 every time i get on my xbox. Reach just doesnt rub me the right way like Halo 3 did.

  • 10.02.2010 1:18 PM PDT

Halo 3 is waaaayyy better than reach.

the maps in reach are bad, the dmr is bad, the movement is bad(too slow) and the bloom makes the dmr random.

  • 10.02.2010 4:43 PM PDT

l;abhrfiodj!!

I still like combat evolved best

  • 10.02.2010 4:59 PM PDT

I Retired Gears of War 2, Sold it to buy Halo 3. And I have not had this much fun playing Video Games in a long time :)
Now that Halo Reach is out. My life has never been better.
Thanks Bungie.

I honestly think that Halo 3 is more balance then Halo reach, and Halo 3 contains a LOTTT less BLAM. Halo Reach is ALL BLAM.

Not that I don't like it, I do, it is just that I like Halo 3 more because it is just better matchmaking and less BLAM.

I actually just put my H3 disk back in today, and I have to say while I don't know that I'd say I like it better, I certainly do still enjoy the game. Both are great games, and most often what I hate about the game is not the game itself, but the people playing it. DMR spam, AR pros, 'nade spam, and of course wanna-be MLG try-hards all annoy me. But with the exception of DMR spamming, those are all in both games. So much as what I did when H3 came out, I will continue to play both until either H3 looses all it's fun for me, or the servers are shutdown.
