I used to rage at this game like no other. From the laggy matches and bad maps to ranking down and being spawn camped, the game always seemed to frustrate me. I always told myself that I would sell it and never come back to it when Reach came out.

Yet now I find myself longing for it even more than Reach. BTB was pure fun, and I loved playing on Valhalla, Sandtrap and Avalanche with my good buddies. I wish they still played. Most of them are busy cR binging in Reach. Even if they did come back, there's nobody in BTB anymore :(

I left Reach over a month ago. H3 still has that epic feeling when I play it.

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

Halo 3's biggest advantage over Reach matchmaking-wise has to be the fact we actually have a varied amount of good maps. Reach's maps are absolutely shyte.

For the most part yeah, but there's a couple of good defaults, like Zealot, and the Noble DLC is great.

H3's BTB was/is amazing too.

Oh good ol' H3, I wish everyone would just decide to come back and repopulate the servers. I was watching some vids of H3 gameplay back in 2007-2008 and there was around 250-300k dudes online. Good times... *sniff*

I just want some good BTB maps! Standoff, Rat's Nest, Avalanche, valhalla, Sandtrap, Longshore, Last Resort

Where's the good maps in Reach?

  • 04.20.2011 3:06 PM PDT

I make a living of selling my body, and I don't mean sex.

I miss the gameplay from Halo 3.
I would love if the servers were repopulated again as I miss everything in Halo 3. (Like when everybody on my friend list used to play it.)

I miss my (AR+Melee)+ Br :(

Yep, except for when I play Aussies or Mexicans on their host then I remember what a lag fest it was at times. If only Halo 3 had Reach's netcode then it would be closer to H2's level.

no halo needs 2 just go dedicated period. that stops the problems with force hosting and bad connections in general. reach has just as many connection issues as H3 probably even worse IMO, now ur lucky if u can get into a single match without someone lagging around or going in and out of black screens.

U Mirin?

Why don't you do any work on your chest or legs or something? You look like a cartoon character.

I miss the limelight of Halo 3. The Halo 3 community was way more active than the Halo Reach community.

Halo Reach is already dead. No one cares about it nearly as much as they did Halo 3. With Halo 3 there was so much in the community and in the extra videos like the one in the OP.

Now with Reach, there's nothing. Bungie doesn't even try either. Reach was a catastrophic failure.

You know for the longest time I never had connection/lag issues with Reach, but over the past two weeks or so it's been pretty bad. If this keeps up, Reach doesn't even have that on H3.
