My Youtube channel, i post Halo gameplays and clips. :)

I've been playing Halo: Reach alot recently, and I decided to take a break so I came on Halo 3, for the first time in a while.
I realised how much more fun it is, Reach seems like a chore compared to this. Halo 3 definately needs more players to come back on like I did :D I'm not flaming Reach, it's an ok game, but I forgot how much more fun Halo 3 is. I also realised it takes alot more skill to be good at, compared to Reach.
So if you've stuck to Halo 3 and not ventured to Reach well done :D

All that is needed for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

Reach is a good game IMO. Just not as good as the '08 Halo 3.

I have played on every button layout for Halo 3 in matchmaking.
It changes with my mood.

I realized that Reach can be a chore because of the useless armor and credits. Sadly, many Reach addicts don't see it that way until they buy all the armor.

I have so much more fun in Halo 3. I hope Bungie has the heart to bring back the Double EXP playlist!

I know right, I got all the way up to Hero and just lost all motivation to play the game, as it's just irritating. Whereas I came on H3 with my friend, played some customs and some multi team and I felt like I enjoyed Halo for the first time in ages :')

If you notice, the only real reason people played Reach was because of the credits. That was the same thing for COD multiplayer, the individual points to prestige. It's useless because credits don't benefit you. It becomes a real chore.

Yup, you should play the game because you enjoy it, not because you want to gain credits. I mean thats what games are for, for entertainment. They shouldnt become a job or chore

Sup, this may sound stupid. But I'm buying Halo 3 tomorrow.

I recently purchased Xbox Slim, well when it came out. But I've bought some other games and didn't have money for this epic game. I'm so hyped now, that tomorrow I'm going to buy it. And do you guys think that I'm doing good buying Halo 3 and not Reach? ;D

I was reading a lot that players still prefer Halo 3, that's good I guess :P.

So, I'm doing right purchasing Halo 3, right?

Later.

I appreciate people who still play Halo 3 and keep the servers active, but Reach is a better game in my opinion. I find it more competitive.

UWG Great group, you should check it out.

I've been playing a mixed bag of Halo Reach and Halo 3 custom games lately, so I'm getting the best of both worlds. :) I love customs, so so so much.

Shops opening at 9 am. Going to buy Halo 3 :P.

Please tell me you were joking about the "competitive" part? Because it really isn't competitive at all. Halo 3 Destroys Reach for competitive gameplay.

Wee, I have bought Halo 3, time to install it and play the heck out of it =D

Colonel grade 3... Hope back onto Reach ;)

Armor and these little gimmicky effects have no effect on gameplay. The longtime Halo fans want a great game and aren't very much concerned with stuff like this. It's a nice feature but not at the expense of gameplay. That's why, IMO, H3 is a much better game than Reach.

I've been playing Halo 3 a lot more than Reach. As the OP said, it feels like a chore to play Reach, and H3 is a lot more enjoyable. If anyone wants to play, add me.

I know you don't mean that offensively ;) But I really hate having a highest skill of 41 :( I only have one account and Halo 3 was the first game I played on xbox live. So yeah I started out really badly, now I'd say I'm not too bad at it. The problem is, with H3's ranking system, if you have alot of XP in a playlist it's really difficult to go up levels. I have tons of exp in most of the ranked playlists and so it's difficult. :/ I deranked once in doubles, to lower my exp and help my friend who was low ranked in the playlist, then I got an experience ban for a month. So I stopped doing that. But yeah...any help getting a 50 would be most appreciated. (its not gonna happen but you can't blame me for trying :D

Yeah I was kidding, rank doesn't mean anything now-a-days. I can play with you but no guarentee on what level we'll reach.

You don't have to have a "4 shot BR" or a "clutch snipe" to be a good player, in game types like doubles and slayer it's more about map control, communication and working with your team. If you can get 3 shots on someone, back out of the battle, survive and commuicate the 1 shot to your team mates thats 1 kill to you and 0 to them, even though you didn't get a kill you still made that play.

Add this GT but I'll probably have to play on another depending on what level you are: JDS Scrub.

Thanks alot man, and I mean that :) I know rank doesn't mean too much anymore. But still it's a sense of achievement to gain a 50. I'm not promising you that I'm some sort of pro. I'm not. But I can hold my own against 50's. Sure i'll add you, and i realise a main part is teamwork. It's just a shame most of my mates don't like Halo, and if they do they arent very good. But i'll add you. thanks

Not everyone likes it for Matchmaking. I like it because of the upgraded forge and customization in Firefight. I do miss Halo 3.

Yeah, some aspects in Reach are fun. But the matchmaking really sucks for competitive gameplay, which is my sorta thing
