I sincerely regret buying the Reach legendary edition. It's an okay game. But it just does not feel like halo. I really don't understand why Bungie didn't just make Halo 4. We all would have loved to see more of master chief. Instead they take us back to a planet that we know will fall, with spartans that we know will die in a heroic manner. Yes, it was fun but not nearly as good as Halo 3. Halo 3 gives you more of a sense of community when you play. Its less of a game and more of a place, where you have fun with various people. The friends you meet on Halo 3 feel like real friends. It made me happy when i played Halo 3 today, and team slayer had 4000 + people in it. Halo 3 is not dead so long as we keep it alive. BELIEVE.

They're different games, and I play both. The gameplay changed a lot, but the strategy stayed pretty similar.

Why does my Spartan have a pink stripe?

This. Thissssssssssss.
I went in and played some today and was like "I knew 3 was way better than Reach but just.. wow."

I really miss it. Kinda wish I could just, like, erase Reach from existence.

I wished the same thing about Halo 3 back in 2008.

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

And in 5 years you'll be saying how much better Halo Reach is than whatever new Halo game comes out.

Halo 2 was the best Halo Made, Sadly If it gets updated it will get Armor Abilitys added in...

Weren't people saying this about Halo 2 in response to Halo 3, and Halo CE in response to Halo 2?

Excuse me while I whip this out

Yeah, back when 3 came out everyone was saying how much it sucked and that they would stick with 2

This did happen, however not nearly as much as it did with reach, and the population proves it. H3 came out in 2007 and held the number one spot for most palyed games on XBL until 2009 "two years" then MW2 was released, and it fell to the number two most played game.

Halo Reach, held the number one spot for "2 months" and then fell to number 3 most played games over XBL.. see the difference..

That's because H3 does suck compared to H2.

Stupid ass washing machine...

I went back in today to have a look around. Surprised at how much I enoyed myself, really.

I love Reach, it's a great game. But I went back in today and was instantly laughing in wonder at how shockingly terrible I had become, but soon I was shooting fine and was having a brilliant time.

I think now I've dipped my toe in the water, so to speak, I'll try and play more of 3 alongside Reach. I don't want Halo 3 to end up like Halo 2, which was truly a tragedy when there were periods of silence on the matchmaking world as nobody wanted to play it.

I still play Halo 3 than reach because it's just not the same

  • 12.21.2010 11:30 AM PDT

I'll render videos for free. Just PM me. I subscribe to Bungie Pro and don't have anything better to use the minutes on.

Things seem too controlled in Reach, and not in the competitive aspect either. What I'm saying is that in Halo 3, you can be chasing someone, only to be crushed by a cross-map flying Warthog. In Reach, fun things like that just don't seem to happen. :(

  • 12.21.2010 11:34 AM PDT

Reach is overall better, but just not as fun. Halo 3 is just classic.

  • 12.24.2010 7:56 AM PDT

I want to go back to halo 2 classic times. Playing my gulch all day. I miss those days

Take a step back with me and enjoy a taste of the bittersweet that is our current generation.

I enjoy Battlefield and Call of Duty, and Gears of War.

I do not see that happening, a company would be hard pressed to make a game worse than Reach.

  • 12.24.2010 7:42 PM PDT

I agree. Halo 3 is awesome. I played a ton of games last night with my 2 other friends. It felt just like the good ole' days. Nothing beats getting on Halo 3 with friends and having a fun time.

Reach just doesn't have that same level of fun or balanced gameplay.

  • 12.24.2010 7:54 PM PDT

I still absolutely LOVE Halo 3. It indeed has a different feel to it.

Reach is much more slow paced. You can't go into a room with a BR(DMR) and just own 2-3 guys. That's because of the bloom, and the slow-downed timing of the shots.

If you want to play Halo 3, send me a FR (Username is GT).

I'm good, not weird, and like to have a good time!
