Its better to burn out than fade away...

nothing comes easy....think about it ;)

i prefer reach but to be fair i never got the chance to play H3 to its full potential, which (judging by all the opinions i have read) sounds awesome

Oooo you're gna die!

You are asking this in the Halo 3 section so obviously most people are going to say Halo 3 is better.

Having said this though, Halo 3 is better.
The population stats speak for themselves. Reach is just as much of ghost town as Halo 3 now. (see what I did there? :P)

Industrial Strength , No Brain Required.

I played Reach and Halo 3 and I had more fun on Halo 3 than on Reach in Multiplayer.

Imo Reach is too serious for me, even if it is great !

I believe that Halo Reach and Halo 3 are both great games, but i think i like reach a little bit better, because halo reach has better multiplayer playlists than 3 but the campaign on Halo 3 is a lot better than the one on reach, yet Halo reach has firefight and i enjoy the graphics and gameplay on reach a lot better.

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.

reach is better than cod. the only good cods are waw and mw1 and there both huge mod fests now

halo reach matchmaking has way too many forge maps. if i wanted to play on forge maps i would play forge or customs. i like the maps bungie make. the only forge map i like is hemorhage.

CoD 4 wasn't even good. *gasp!* there. I said it.
CoD 2 was great. WaW was tolerable. Everything else just sucks.

Wow, I miss this Forum. :/
This is my first post here for nearly 2 years. I re-watched the Halo Trilogy on YT since I sold my Halo 3 Campaign Disc, and it made me remember just how great this game was, so many amazing memories, and the perfect game to set off the best Campaign ever seen.

Reach was good, but no Halo game could beat the original Trilogy. It's story is flawless, and the gameplay is classic. Reach ruined what Halo was, gave Halo it's own twist. If it wasn't for the game's magnificent Forge 2.0, the game would be a colossal let down in my opinion. The Campaign was amazing, but it's not the Master Chief, it's not about Halo. It's different, and as great as it was, I think Bungie should've let Halo go after Halo 3 (not that they had a choice, with MS forcing them to make Reach and ODST).

I think a lot of core Halo players were hurt by Reach and ODST, and may have lost their faith in the franchise. If no more Halos would've been made in-between Halo 4's launch, the game's anticipation would be MUCH higher. The launch would be massive, now I fear that it will be a normal launch, like any other AAA title, if not worse. These annual releases are ruining the franchise, all for the sake of juicing money. Bethesda and Epic Games doing it right, they make you anticipate their sequels for years, and that's how Halo used to be, and needs to go back to being. That way you know when you see a new Halo game, it's gonna be special.

I see you like multiplayer neither too fast or too slow... and with tricks and working functionality.

I'm talking strictly multiplayer. The multiplayer on CoD 4 was just garbage.

reach is slow???? are you kidding me? the time it takes to get people together for a matchmaking game on h3 took FOREVER! it only took a few seconds just for reach to find people and get the game started. plus they FINALLY added a "sprint" ability.

as for maps, the maps on h3 were complicated to play on, especially if people knew their way around it than you did. and the graphics...bland. only thing you saw moving in the maps was other players. but the maps on reach....BEAUTIFUL. if not epic looking. they had environmental graphics that were off the meter! campaign maps had rain, fog, lightning, everything to make the experience more real!

as for gameplay, well, complain all you want about the weapons, although they did lessen the amount of different weapons on the maps and campaign, but i really don't see any problem with having to change tactics and re-adjusting my style of playing a little. although the bloom thing REALLY does irritate me, still , bungie's whole idea with reach was to make the multiplayer something that h3 apparently wasn't to most gamers: more socially fun and enjoyable to all ages as well as fair. h3, in most cases, was more harsh-like and competitive to those just trying to enjoy gaming online. the ranking system was complicated to most as well as harsh, the only way really to rank up fast without even trying was to hang out in games with high ranked gamers who did all the killing for you, giving you credit when you didn't do squat, or "buying" ur way to the top with a "50 general" account they either stole and ranked up for you, or just made from their previous accounts. although most of the time you played for a fool by literally getting ur account jacked because you gave them ur personal info, when the game obviously tells you not to for ANY REASON, not even for recon armor. oh, and don't get me started on the many, many, MANY d-bags, a-holes, -blam!--talking tryhards who mostly cheated with mods, j-tags, or aimbots. getting ur ass kicked without a chance in hell of winning and having to watch as they t-bag your corpse in enjoyment EVERYTIME they killed you was anything BUT fun. it was fun for bullies, those with skill and those i just mentioned, but never for anyone else. it seemed like another call of duty MW, which were famous for being broken and being shot to hell online. if not black ops.

Halo Reach, however, corrected and stopped ALL that crap (well most of it anyway) when it finally came out. it took me a while to actually see that, but once i did, I tossed that piece of -blam!- disc that was halo 3 away after buying halo reach instead of Black Ops and never looked back since.

THAT's why more people today play reach instead of sticking to the nightmare known as H3. because all they really wanted to do was have fun by social means, rank up by playing more than just multiplayer, and being awarded for things they should have been awarded for in h3, like assists and staying in the game, even when odds were in the other team's favor. you say there's better teamwork in h3, how is that when most players rage quit when their team starts losing, plus you lose more whether you quit or just stay in the game honorably and take ur loss like a man. you don't gain jack.

and THAT, to me at least, is why halo reach is better by far than halo 3.

I was joking with Reach TU being worse than Halo 3.
Halo 3 Beta set the bar very high and I was sure it was going to be better than H2. Then we got this nonsense almost exactly 4 years ago.
