Subject: After all this time, I'm still confused by Halo 3

ll HackY ll

I've been a member since 2005, and I've been playing Halo since the day it came out (not so much lately). However, there's still a couple things that confuse me:

I still cannot figure wether the graphics are good or bad. I mean, other than reach, there is no other game that has that simplistic view with those super detailed textures. It still confuses me.

I still cannot figure out what is it that makes Halo 3 so much more competitive than other games. I mean, all other games have callouts and encourage communication within the team too, but no game feels as tactical as Halo.

I still cannot figure why the game feels so naturally solid. I know it's not because of the static reticle, but do you know that feeling of fluidity when you get a swipe kill with the sniper?

I actually started to suspect that Bungie was, in fact, planning to take over the world, simply because this game feels so different to all others. I'm still confused by how responsive yet human the game is. I don't know what to think really.

I guess it can be narrowed down to:

you cannot compare Halo 3 to Reach, Reach is not a game, its a disc in a plastic green case called pure fail.

Got it? good.

Halo 3 is a golden game and I don't think we'll ever see such a great game again. Reach is nothing compared to halo 3. When I am playing H3 everything feels like a good game should.

All I see in Reach is a bunch of herp derp ppl bragging about armor / pointless ranks and using stupid tactics to 'win' a match where in Reach winning matches don't even matter lol

Halo 2 was golden, but I like Halo 3 better because of the controllers and the more complicated sniping.

^My feelings about this game. Halo 3 was the first FPS I really played, the first FPS I got good at. It has sentimental value. Best game I have ever played, and I believe it will stay that way.

Reach is more recreational. Its pretty fun, but has no replay value. It is okay but trash compared to H3.

This.
Everytime my friend comes back from uni for a day or 2, we play H3. It's is still my favorite game by a long way!
Yet, sadly, i rarely play it now.

Yup, pretty much. Halo 3 is amazing, though.

Weapon balance. Everyone started off the same and had the same chances. I found it was like a game of chess. Comparable to cod which is like rock, paper, scissors, bs (but still fun).

I had 3 Halo 3 Beta Invites, 2 Halo: Reach Beta Invites

Not sure if serious...
