Don't get me wrong. Reach is amazing. I play it all the time. But I miss Halo 3. It is, without a shadow of a doubt, the best game I have ever played, and that I ever will play.

After thousands and thousands and thousands of matchmaking games, I fell in love with it. Reach does not have the same magic, sadly.

But that's not because Reach is bad. It is because Halo 3 was special. It was more than a game.

I just listened to some old Halo 3 music. And I nearly cried. I miss the main halo theme, I miss the Master Chief. I miss all of the amazing Music. I miss Brute choppers, I miss the graphics! I miss the last level, I miss Guardian, the Pit, and all of the other amazing maps.

Who else feels the same way? And what do you miss about Halo 3?

I am in the exact same boat brother, Reach is a great game but it is missing that "Magic Touch" that Halo 3 had within it.

I miss Halo 3, I actually play it more than Reach. Its just a shame I can't really do Big Team Battles anymore...just such a tiny population...

I don't even play Reach, even though I have the LE.

I play Reach, and I enjoy it.
But I honestly just feel that something missing.
Maybe a Halo Classic playlist will fix this sometime?
But one other thing that I honestly do miss is the H2/3 Ranking system. Not the experience, but the 1-50 system is missed.

Yes I am British, I like tea, I like crumpets, and I am going to kick your ass!

The custom games were awesome, I met some of my best friends on Halo 3 custom games.

I came here to make this exact same thread. Reach just didn't do it for me

  • 02.09.2011 6:03 AM PDT

I got Halo 3 again, I missed everything! :D

Definitely true, the one thing that I miss more than anything is the community. Everyone who had a brain was on halo 3 during every spare moment of every single day. It was a no brainer, you had to play or your a loser. MLG was amazing on halo, the game just made so much sense. For the first time in my life I seriously knew what I was doing, playing halo. Now reach is pretty good, but I cannot play it forever and it seemed to already have died for me. I miss getting the Marathon Man achievement, jumping through the rings on the covenant in the correct order trying to get the skull, playing slayer and doubles, BRing noobs, Urban Freeflow on Miles, custom games and everything else. My life kinda sucks right now without halo, and I'm begging bungie just to do something about my childhood

I think that one thing that they really took out of halo reach is the importance of winning. :\

I'm on the verge of selling Halo Reach. I'm coming back 3!

I would never sell halo reach, but I do agree that there are many aspects of halo 3 that make it the better game.

Sure, once you add firefight, forgeworld, and many other aspects that Reach has, overall, I agree that Halo Reach is a better game. I just prefer Halo 3.

Keep the credits, keep the new Forge and keep firefight, but bring back the 1-50 ranking system, bring back the physics and old maps, and we may have a perfect game.

Dont be shy...
Im sorry for my coup changes but Im new at this.

I miss the br. Anyway, i will go to play halo 3 right now

  • 02.12.2011 8:55 AM PDT

I feel exactly the same way, i really miss the importance of winning and the good spirit with the callouts and all that. It was so easy to just start a good conversation i Halo 3.. I went back to H3 some days ago couse i missed it so bad.. Its not as dead as i thought.. I think many people will go back to H3..

Look at me.
I'm a member since 2005.
I do miss Halo 3, but I also think that even though it's still alive (barely), the community is not quite the same.

I miss the community that played Halo 3 the day it came out. That was a great community, without boosters, de-rankers, MLG Pros or over competitive players. But those days are gone, and all I have now are the memories of sitting all night playing with friends, trying to get a 50 and all the fun I had. That's what counts.
