...and it was actually really fun. I have been playing Reach, but I get really frustrated sometimes with the multiplayer. In my opinion, there are quite a bit of flaws to it, and I don't think all of them will ever be fixed. Even though many think the BR is overpowered, I think that Halo 3 is very well balanced. I think I am going to start sticking to Halo 3 for a while.

Also, today, it seemed like I found matches ten times faster on Halo 3 than I usually do in Reach. Has this happened to anyone else?

Everyone who played Halo 3 after a week or two of Reach has the same story, I imagine. If Bungie had done something about derankers in H3, I'd actually still be playing Halo.

Yeah, I'm going to try to get Halo 2 eventually, but just for the campaign because I thought it was really fun. I was thinking about buying it off of Amazon for $20, but they jacked the price up to $30. I'd be content with a used copy that's in good condition, though.

I tried to hook up XBC to play Halo CE online, but my PC couldn't read my Xbox 360. I definitely missed some steps. I'll probably try again eventually.

I really want to see what the Halo CE multiplayer is like. The pistol takes 3 headshots to kill someone, doesn't it?

My computer is very slow and laggy so there would be no point in me trying to play it online on the PC.

Same here. Reach is for mouth breathers. I went back to H3 and found that you actually have to aim at stuff to hit it! My sniping was WAY off after playing with that auto snipe for a month.

Reach is way too frustrating for me, and the game is easily exploited, with camping on the maps definitely being the worst thing. All the other Halo games reward players for having skill, compared to Reach, where the skill gap is lessened even more.

Don't even get me started on Armor Lock, the Melee System, or the overpowered grenades.

you cannot compare Halo 3 to Reach, Reach is not a game, its a disc in a plastic green case called pure fail.

Got it? good.

yeah the BTB in Reach is nothing compared to Halo 3's. Halo 3 has a lot more fun gameplay.

I haven't played Halo 3 since Reach launched, but I imagine I'll get back there some day when the fun stops in Halo: Reach. Which will be never.

But seriously, I'll try and get a few games of Halo 3 in when I can; maybe as soon as I go online again and stop avoiding that new dashboard update.

One thing that I'm really happy to hear though is that there are a healthy amount of players on both H3 and Reach. They're both fantastic games.
