Arb1ter haz copied my gamertag, sorta.

I bought a Reach Edition 360 (Used to own a 360, sold it in early 2009 to solve some money issues) because I missed having a 360 to play on. Reach was obviously a huge part of that purchase.
I still like Reach but multiplayer is very hit or miss. A lot of the maps (to me) are duds and I think the armor abilities and loadouts are distracting once you get over the newness. I also vastly prefer the dual wield system from H2/H3. When I went straight from 3 to Reach (I never played ODST and don't really care to) I couldn't believe that they ditched dual wielding. Just dumb, IMO.
If you have an old copy of H3 sitting around and you want to play H3 online, you just have to drop 17 dollars on the map packs (If you're like me and you never bought them beforehand). Easily worth it. I'll play Reach too, I just prefer H3's multiplayer... which is where the replay value is at.
If you're wondering why I have no history on H3, I decided to just start a fresh Gamertag for the new console. Kind of fun to have a fresh gamerscore to work on, especially going back to play older games that feel new again.
Agreed.
