Subject: I miss Halo 3.

Halo 3 was the first halo game I played. All my friends played it. Now over half of them quit and reach is the reason. I remember playing custom games with my friends and CTF on Valhalla. Nothing is the same without Master Chief and halo 3.

I miss the master chief so much that my halo reach avatar is completely modelled over him. Including his firefight voice.

I agree, Halo is not the same without Master Chief.

I'm really hoping that the Halo Classic playlist hopefully being released later this month on Reach will fix things!

Who else feels the same way? And what do you miss about Halo 3?
I only feel the same with the second "paragraph". And I only miss the custom games on Halo 3. The rest, well they'll be missed too, but not as much.

Yeah i never got bored of Halo 3 and i liked that every weekend there was a different playlist. I miss all the good times i had playing social skirmish, swat, snipers, and DBL XP Weekend playlist. Reach just isn't just doesn't have what halo 3 had :(

The reason why Reach doesn't have the magic Halo 3 had:

- No BR (DMR is too random)

- No reason to pull together and try to win

- Forge maps being passed as 'real' maps by bungie themselves, when its just laziness.

And personally, none of my friends play Halo anymore cause of Reach. So I miss just chilling with friends on Halo 3, those were the days.

Ah well, the memories are still there, and I still go on H3 from time to time, never play Reach, its terrible.

I can't really explain why but, because of the new medals and better grafics etc, I feel that playing halo 3 would be a step backwards... but at the same time, I really really wish that Halo Reach was more like Halo 3

Ahhh, good times.

Well, I bought Reach on the very same day it was released. Numb by all the advertisement and the marketing campaign that was done for the game. BIG MISTAKE. I sold my copy after playing it for just two weeks. It was indeed a waste of time and money.
There is NO GAME out there today (or in the past for that matter) that could come close to Halo 3. The gameplay is simply the BEST. The maps, the weapons... but most importantly the players!! The community has mostly shift to Reach and the majority has felt the same way as I did...robbed!!
Bungie PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Re-release Halo 3 with some new maps and a few new weapons/vehicles and make more than a million people happy.

I don't even want the new maps or weapons. Just add in most of the new levels and the new social ranking system (but for goodness sake keep the 1-50 system as well) and I'd buy it!

Halo 3 is BEYOND A DOUBT the single BEST game that I have ever played. I even have scents associated with it. That is how much it means to me.

"Any time you have a game system which players cannot understand, it might as well be random. No matter how fair the tiebreaker may be, if a single Assault Rifle bullet can slip by and decide the outcome, it might as well be random. And randomness is a poor substitute for tactics and skillful execution."

-Bungie (2008)

...and then came bloom and AAs

I fell In love with that game and I still am.

Life is just a dream.

I think Reach is great, but for me 3 is the definitive Halo game. Its so classic, pure and fun. I wish more people played. I played some matches today, they were fun, but I couldn't notice how dated the graphics are compared to Reach. I still love it all the same.

"Some kids are just better than others."

Halo 3 really seemed like it was made by a whole different company that actually had innovative ideas and didnt steal mechanics like bloom and AA's from other games and throw them into the Halo universe.

Equipment,forge,and theater to an extent were all new and fresh to me while the additions in Reach like AA's and bloom I had already experienced in other games like Crysis and Shadowrun.

Bungie seemed like they ran out of innovative ideas for Halo, and so they just stole game mechnics from other games and threw them in without thinking. Bungie definitely seems like they have lost a step.

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.
This but the halo 2 community was so much better and lulzier.

RIP Halo 2

I felt about Halo 3 the same way a lot of you feel about Reach. I loved Halo 2, and I thought 3 wasn't nearly as good. But now I find myself missing 3 because of Reach's terrible maps and the awful ranking system.
