Anyone want to do the honors to list all the horrible things about reach?

Anyone got an idea of how to bring halo 3 back?

Are you mental? Reach is superior to Halo 3 in every way. Only scrubs who can't play a game that takes skill bother to play Halo 3.

lol Reachs takes skill? Serious? Halo 3 > Reach .. only CoD noobs think otherwise.

Reach blows. Gameplay is like 50% slower. Halo 3 got you pumped and there was alot of competition and communication. It kept the player interested and on the tip of their seat. Reach, yoour "spartan" is slow and every map is huge and full of vehicles. They took away weapons that took skill (BR) and added retarted stuff for nubs (jetpack, armor lock) Bungie tried to hard with Reach. A series with a great population and great potential. Then, Bungie tried to hard and ruined it.

The thing is, a lot of the best default Halo Reach players and some of the biggest default Halo 3 Matchmaking warriors.


Gotta love those verb-less sentences.

Lol, nice job Ghoulies

What you see with me is what you get. I would rather be hated for what I am than loved for something that I'm not.

I am who I am, not who you want me to be. Your approval isn't needed and your opinion isn't required or desired.

Armor lock, bloom, overpowered weapons (AR, needler), armor lock, this games really encourages camping, spawn points are terrible, armor lock, really easy to spawn kill with vehicles, and oh yeah Armor Lock!!!

The only thing I really hate are the maps. Spire SUCKS. Sword Base is the Mecca of camping. And why did it come packed in with so many forge maps? And the only forge map I enjoy is hemorrage. Noble map pack sucks. Defiant is actually pretty fun, but still, there are so many bad maps. Thats why I've started to play Halo 3 for the first time, and what do you know, the maps are actually good.

EDIT: I also forgot that DMR bloom sucks (pistol/needle rifle bloom is good, but not DMR). Armor lock is a joke. Dont get me started on it.

Reach is a good game. H3 will only come back if people stop deranking and boosting.


I am finding you quite annoying.

Reach is terrible. Halo 2 is better then reach...let alone 3

You couldn't be more wrong.

Reach takes far more skill than Halo 3. Halo 3 was a noob's game, any scrub could be good at it. The BR was easy to use, just spam the trigger and get a 4 shot, wow give me a break I want a CHALLENGE. The DMR takes a lot of skill because spamming gets you nowhere.


Armour abilities give the game more strategy. Armour Lock is not a 'get out of jail free card', it is a legitimate tactic and it makes the game more exciting.

And yes I do play Black Ops. I'm 4th prestige so obviously I'm really good, so I know what I'm talking about.


This statement just makes you look like a bigger noob. I never play reach and occasionally play black ops but if you were to play me in either of them you would get murdered, just because I play a competitive game that takes skill called Halo 3.

In your opinion it is. In my opinion it isn't. I thought halo 2 was one of the best halos.

Halo 3 > other Halo games

Halo 2 Vista gave me too much trouble so my favorite is Halo 3 again.

"Die? Didn't you know? Spartans never die." - Kurt-051's last words.

I was tired of all the whining about AL, bloom, and expecially it being worse than the other Halo games.

So I decided to head back to the old Halo 3 forum.

And what did I get? Threads like this. ^_^

How is pointing your reticule at a guy's head and spamming the trigger to get a 4 bursts kill "skill"?

Hanger one I just shredded with the SMGs until ammo was out and I just threw 'nades like a boss while BRing.

My experience playing Cairo Station on Legendary

WHY do I enjoy Halo 3 moreso than Reach? It's hard to explain.

Having a non-hit scan weapon selection (BR, Sniper) makes it more difficult, but rewarding when you get good at using something. Bloom doesn't cut it. I shouldn't have to pace my shots, slow down gameplay, only to lose to a player spamming the trigger!

Maps. Something about map layout works in Halo 3, while Reach feels too open, or too concentrated. What I mean, is look at Ghost Town for instance. You can wander, relax for a moment, or just enjoy the scenery, OR go to the middle area of the map and battle. Infact, a lot of the maps in Halo 3 involve you in one way or another. You need to make decisions! Let's play Reach. Sword base. Wow. ALL battles are on the top floor and you're constantly working your way up. It's tedious! Look at Countdown, the map feels like a lock-out, but you're the quarters are a little too technical. Halo Reach does not have a good feel to it.

Player Movement. Halo 3 had great movement, the player speed, gravity, and jump height was the pinnacle of Halo. You had good speed, high jumps, and a good weight. Reach ruined this. Slower movement, lower jump height, and heavier players. I will state this once. If I wanted to play Call of Duty, or Brothers in Arms, or Battlefield, I would do so. Halo, IS NOT one of those games.

Weapon damage. Easiest way to put this. Look at Halo 3 grenades, now look at Reaches. One is fair, one is not. Why is it you would UP grenade damage and LOWER player speed. I could go on about this all day, but I won't.

Player attitude. In general, I am pleased with the Halo 3 community. They don't grief, or bag you when you lose, not nearly as much, as Reach.I cannot stand that loud mouthed kids, or jerk-hole teens. I want to have a good time, not pestered by people who have nothing better to do.

Ranking. I feel much more accomplished when I have a 43, than being ANY rank in reach. In fact, I feel ashamed to be a high rank in Reach as it just shows how much time I've wasted. I don't want to be distracted by shiny armour, I want actual rewarding feelings. You work toward a new rank, and damn it feels good when you get it. Plus, you can judge how well a player is in Halo 3,you can't in Reach.

Campaign. Short and Sweet. REACH is garbage. It is repetitive to no end, and I feel like a puppet. Do this, do that. Here's your objective, and the worst, SPARTAN ASSIST! At least in Halo 3 you feel like you're discovering things for yourself. Go play Marathon, now play Reach. Reach is a baby's first game. It caters to the children.

Music. Halo 3 had emotional pieces, not the best, but they were good. (Halo 2 having the best) but god, listen to reach. ONE emotional piece and that is Noble 6 working his way to New Alexandria. The rest does not fit in to Halo. This is a Halo game, not a new age dance club. You screwed up bungie.

Voice acting. Halo 3, still not as good as Halo 2's but it is HEAVEN compared to Reach. "I repeat, the covenant is on reach' I didn't realize Ben Stein was a voice actor. How monotone can you get? Now, listen to "Someone, anyone, please respond" So much greater.

Sorry for the rant, but it has to be said. Reach is the largest disappointment to date. I am glad 343 has Halo now. Bungie has turned on its fans.
