What are some things in Halo 3 that you never appreciated until you no longer had them? (i.e. if you moved to Reach).


I took BTB for granted. It's very disappointing in Reach and I wish they had kept some of the charm that made it enjoyable in H3. I played some games today, and despite the annoying controller disconnects and bad teammates, I enjoyed myself tremendously. Valhalla is a wonderful map, and Standoff flag is very action-packed.

I miss the good days of BTB. Regardless of all my complaints with the netcode, hit detection, and lag (which is probably the best improvement Reach offered), H3 was still an enjoyable game. The netcode is really all that ever frustrated me.

You guys care too much.

Nothing it was the best halo

The maps, I thought the maps in Halo 3 were absolutely fun, but I never really cared about what map I played. Most of the maps in Reach are terrible in my opinion.

Also, the BR. At first, I used the BR every game I played because that's what every other player used. I first it was an overused weapon that ruined Halo. In Reach, the DMR is even worse and I actually miss the BR.

AR beatdowns.

You rang?

  • 02.12.2011 2:29 AM PDT

Still better than you.

.....most of you, at least.

The nade physics.

I could/can bounce a nade just about anywhere in Halo 3.

In Reach, I have to try and make it land there, without the bounce, because it doesn't bounce.

That said, I don't really need to be accurate in Reach, due to the completely OP nades.

Maps that aren't terrible.
Social Skirmish - in other words objective gametypes that actually work properly.

Hell, in Halo: Reach Bungie refer to territories as "hills". Way to not even play your own games Bungle.

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

Being able to Forge on every single map to a degree where you can make anything decent on them.

With Reach, the only good map for Forge was Forge World. Tempest is too cluttered with buildings and isn't really that big, 9/10 maps made using the energy beam are unoriginal.

Also, after playing Reach's campaign many times I feel bad about criticising Halo 3's. Sure, Halo 3 wasn't the most fulfilling experience but Reach was just sodding awful.

I might also note that Theatre was always a motivation for me to play more in Halo 3, I do not feel the same with Reach for some reason.

  • 02.12.2011 5:51 AM PDT

The good spirit, lol.. Atleast in halo 3 there were those people who said "good game" after a game.. And that everyone was trying to acctually win the game, in reach that doesn't matter since they changed to credits. I simply miss the whole Halo 3 ;)

Things that I took for granted in Halo 3:

First and foremost the BR. I still don't know why Bungie decided to take out this gun. It is arguably one of the best weapons that Bungie ever introduced.

The maps. As much as I hated playing on some maps now that I look back at it Reach has worse maps than Halo 3. Maps I really miss are Guardian, The Pit, Valhalla, Lockout (Halo 2 :D), and Standoff.

I took the pre-game lobby for granted. It seems that there was a lot for fun in Halo 3 and a lot more communication with friends and team mates.

And lastly...the 1-50 True Skill system. As much as I remember bragging about how I was a 50 and people calling each other names...I really feel that it was the best, actually ranking you up by skill and not by exp. When you needed to be a 50 to be a General. Now you can exp boost and in no time be a Inheritor.

Honestly I wish they never take down Halo 3, and it is too much to ask for, but I wish that they bring Halo 2 back up.
