Subject: Why is Halo 3 better Than Reach?

I was just wanted a legitimate reason.

I love Halo 3 more than Reach but I just couldn't put a reason.

Any ideas?

Something Canada will never do.

Probably the nostalgia is mixing in with it for you. I feel the same way and just have great memories with this game. (It actually takes skill) 2007-2009 were great years for Halo.

It makes you learn to aim better, it throws in extra ways to make you fight enemys and you can't go tank and take out an entire team by yourself whenever you want. Oh and you cant just use one god weapon that makes the rest useless.

Oh wait that's why Reach is better.

It's not.

I think they're both equal. Halo 3 has quick, action-packed, traditional Halo gameplay while Reach offered a new taste wiht more versatility and tactics with the new armor abiltiies. Each game has it's own pieces of awesomeness to offer but I find that niether is superior in all aspects to the other.

maps and simplicity

So you may recognize my name from the H2 MLG pro circuit back in '07. I was going to go pro but my cat died.

armor abilities suck. anytime you use one it takes away from actually gameplay. they are all over used and over powered

While Reach provides a more modern gaming experience, alot of people (including me) have a main reason: Halo 3 was the first game i ever bought for the Xbox.

It introduced me to a whole new realm of gameplay and possiblilities. when i look back and think of halo, i dont think of asasinating a noob on sword base, i think of bringing home the flag in valhalla. i dont think of Noble six blowing up a covenant supercarrier, i think of Master Chief blowing up Halo.

I think its the armour abilities. I feel much the same way; despite Reach's improvements to its predecessors, I still prefer Halo 3's multiplayer and story.

I'm fine with bloom, I like it in fact. To a large extent I'm fine with armour abilities, but I think they fragment the game too much. I also prefer Halo 3's maps.

But apart from that, I genuinely have no idea!

Though the fella above me seems to have hit the nail on the head!
