I came back to "Halo 3" just to try it out, and I noticed I was doing amazing. It was like watching some MLG guy/gal tearing it up. It was amazing. Before hand, I was mediocre at best. Has this happened to anyone else?

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

Quite the opposite in both ways:
From Reach -> Halo 3 = suck at Halo 3
From Halo 3 -> Reach = pwn at Reach

I'm too used to Armor Abilities.

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.

no.

Most of the better players have left - you are getting a false sense of your abilities playing lesser skilled players.

  • 11.22.2010 10:45 PM PDT

what? Ranked or social? Cuz social don't count...

Me and most of my WaRRioR friends have stopped playing Halo 3.

I for one have reached all my H3 Goals (MLG 50, TD 50, SWAT 50, TS 50 (1000 exp) and Gen grade 3 (twice, so 5000+ EXP))

I have come to the realistion that there is nothing left for H3 (for me anyway) and so have my fellow WaRRioR XbL friends. While I'm the only one to have moved to Reach, the others have moved to NFS, BO, Vegas, et cetera.

Halo 3 is slowly dieing, but sadly, so is Reach.

I guess Black Ops is where it's at if I want a fast Aussie game. :)

Moral: Skilled players ARE moving on, but not necessarily to Reach.

RIP Killstreaks.... Then again you were never that good anyway lol. Its been a bit more boring since you left ill admit, I always enjoyed your accent when you raged. An angry australians accent is by far in the top 3 iv heard, behind only blainsticks, and some very very angry british kid.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain... Time to die.

Actually, I popped in ODST yesterday to get a few stray achievements and I was completely HORRIBLE at it. I kept using "X" to reload, and was reloading instead of using melee. I know you're speaking about H3 but, it shares the same controls. If I was ever to play H3 online again, I think I'd need some serious practice. >.<

Any of you noticed a hugh increase in your skill after playing Reach?


No, quite the opposite actually. Ever since I took some time off from H3 this summer to lay pool side with hotties, I've found that I've lost quite a bit of skill, and more importantly in game awareness.

Playing Reach for about a month only made this worse, however I am finally getting back in rhythm. LOVE how H3 feels compared to Reach-Around.

I can see how he could RuN slayer in 2s with a good teammate, hes still better than at least 70% of the people I play in slayer, but if he matched me running 4s he would most likely lose. His sniper is decent but nothing remarkable, again though better than 70% of the randoms in that playlist

KiD you love me.

I've just bought 2 new games that I'm going to play through (UFC U2010, FNR4) and I'm going to WaRRioR Black Ops campaign soon, methinks.

Of course it's been boring without me. I was the heart and soul of Halo 3, and now I'm gone, there's nothing left but a dead corpse, that once was alive with Australia.

Why don't you come play Reach, BO or something with me?

Oh, and my Aussie accent is good all the time.. Through good and bad.

Lol, not just Samoan.

I'm done with XbL. EI Chappo can keep its 38 in slayer, no games hold my interest long enough, so I've given up playing. Lol

  • 11.24.2010 2:42 AM PDT

Not really.

I used to be very good at Halo 3 so now when I come back, I'm not as good b/c I barely play anymore. I still hold my own though.

When I swap back and forth I have problems leading my shots well in Halo 3 after using hitscan in Reach.

  • 11.24.2010 9:10 AM PDT

BAH-WEEP-GRANA-WEEP-NINI-BONG?

I've noticed that my aim has improved, but getting readjusted to the firing rate of the BR really throws me off. And I still get far angrier playing Halo 3 MM than I do with Reach.
