Most likely trying to compete with the modern market. As you can see from the people on-line playing, it didn't bode well.

There are some new things in Reach that I really like overall but IMO two things I much prefer about Halo 3 - the ranking system, it wasn't perfect but better than this arena rubbish. Also simplistic gameplay. But this is something that's been going on throughout the Halo series and getting worse with each new game - over-complication.

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.

A person is smart,people are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it!

I like Reach.......but I don't love it,I got bored very quickly unlike Halo3,the campaign was good but not imo as good as 3 and the multiplayer is garbage unlike 3.

Reach doesn't feel like a Halo game!

  • 11.21.2010 2:47 PM PDT

I can safely agree with this argument. Halo 3 is a fun game, and im not saying halo reach isnt, but what was so great about halo 3 was that it never really got boring if you played by yourself on matchmaking. it seems to me in halo reach that the matchmaking can get boring very easily if not playing with friends.

Honestly, Halo 3 and Reach are two completely different games, its like comparing Halo 3 to Call of Duty. they dont play CLOSE to the same.



we'll i guess halo reach isn't doing a good job at playing like a "halo" game then, is it?


Exactly.


That's why no one plays Reach.

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.

This is true.

I'm not making excuses. I never claimed to be good. I have never played any colonel better than me though.

My Youtube - Halo 2 Online Co-op
BUNGIE AND MICROSOFT FAILS HALO 2 VISTA.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

after playing reach and going back to halo 3 you can 100 percent tell this game is WAY better than reach.

some of you might be saying this is obvious, which it is, but i'm just saying the "FUN" created from this game is miles ahead of reach.
Yes it is, I really wished this game was on PC. xD
Reach sucks too much on both console, and the idea of being on PC. :D

Its a trap!!!

The op of this sums up what I feel is wrong with Reach

ok here we go with some pros and Cons

Multiplayer= H3

Campaign= Reach is overall better but is missing an epic scarab battle like H3

Carbine < Needle Rifle- Bloom aside I like the needle rifle a lot better in terms of how it fires. The Carbine seem to not shoot in the same place twice

DMR < BR- The BR makes for faster gameplay. I also like that you have to lead your shot as opposed to the DMRs instant hitscan. I do however like the DMR better then the BR in Swat

Sniper Reach < Sniper H3- Halo 3 sniper takes more skill. It would seem a 2 year old can use the Halo Reach Sniper

Focus Rifle < Beam Rifle- Focus Rifle is a cool concept but its too weak. As much as I like a sentinel beam with a scope. At the very least the Beam Rifle would be good alongside the focus rifle in reach. Plus the Beam Rifle takes more skill to use.

I would like to compare pistols but I am unsure. The Halo 3 one is more reliable but the Reach Pistol has the potential to be quicker and has a scope. I wish there was a good blend of the 2. The Reach Pistol is definitely better in campaign then the Halo 3 version

Concussion Rifle < Brute Shot- They are similar although the concussion rifle fires faster. I like them both but for some reason I like the shot better. Can't put my finger on it

Fall Damage < No Fall Damage- Not the biggest deal but I think the ability to perform cool batman like assassinations from up high are hindered by fall damage

H3 Forge < Reach Forge- Reach Forge is mostly better and a lot easier to build on. Although Reach has its own forge problems 3 didn't.

Reach Jumping < H3 Jumping- Who doesn't want to jump higher? It adds some more variety to strafing. Its awesome when someone goes for the AR Melee from behind and you jump backwards and get the back smack. Jumping in 3 had some skill like all the cool jumps on Guardian. Now any skill those short retarded jumps could even have are overshadowed by we don't need to learn cool jumps we gots jetpack evergame.

Even when the beta of Reach was out and I was playing it I knew I was not going to enjoy Reach as much. Fast forward a few months later and I was right lol

I would say that halo 3 was a fantastic and stil is but reach has a better matchmaking but the custom games and gametype creator has fallen short of it's former glory in H3.Reach has just got to sort out the annoying infection creation as now you can't have an alpha zombie trait and a non-alpha trait (so no more fat kid) and if you put the damage to zero you can't splatter them (so no smear the -blam!- or lava pit) it's just a shame but when there is a new game people will play it again.

this is halo 2 to halo 3 again. people cant detach from previous games due to change

Wise words indeed.

  • 11.22.2010 9:37 AM PDT

Couldn't agree more. Althrough H3 does have a few flaws, they are minuscule compared to Reach, which is very close to unplayable for me.

You know Reach is a broken game when even MW2 has more players, despite a new CoD game being out!

Halo 3 games played: 10,578 Still really enjoy playing
Halo: Reach games played: 234 Bored out of my mind and never will play this shoddy game for the forseeable future

Right!

My buddy keeps saying think of it as a completely different game. I'm like ok, you know what I do with new games, I complete the Campaign, and go back to Halo3 because it is the best online MP experience.

I don't believe that most people can't adapt to the new game or detach themselves from an old one,what you must understand is that change is not always for the best and to be perfectly honest....IMO Reach is not as good as H3!

Happy Hanukkah

halo reach has more but is lower quality so, yes.
