Subject: Halo 3 is absolutely better than Halo Reach!

  • Noble Member

I'm the first to admit that I'm horrible at first person shooters, so I probably don't stand for the whole userbase here when I say that Halo 3 is better than Halo Reach. I have been playing Reach since launch and I've gotten sick of the next-gen browns and blues that seem to permeate the title. It's darker and heavier and it feels more like Call of Duty than the fun, colorful, alien-battling title that Halo 3 was. I was driven to complete Halo 3's solo campaign; not so in Reach. Master Chief was a boss and I miss him. Noble Team doesn't feel like anything near an adequate swap. I also think the armor in Halo Reach is ugly and disproportionate. The colors are all too muted except for the ridiculous pale pinks and yellows and everyone's body is so much larger than their head. Re-watching games in theater is nowhere near the entertaining experience it was in Halo 3. So the weapons and environments and graphics in general are more updated; they're also just uglier. The whole game felt like it took itself too seriously. Sorry guys, you're not a real military game. You shoot aliens. It's a 21st century version of Space Invaders.

I'm returning to Halo 3 and I'm sure nobody here cares because nobody here knows me but as a slightly disgruntled Bungie customer I thought I'd take to the forums and have my voice heard: I miss the color and whimsy and beauty and fun of Halo 3.

What do you think of Halo: Reach?
I think it is B.O.R.I.N.G... and I agree with Honorable Heroic Member, "N7R" and I quote...

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

Unquote.

You sir are correct. I'm a General Grade 3 in Reach and the fun is gone now. I mean Firefight is fun, but general matchmaking isn't fun, it's more serious and if you mess up you get horribly mocked and yelled at most of the time. It wasn't like that in Halo 3, I just miss 3.

Halo 3 > Reach

I agree with everything you said IMGN, and I don't know about you but I had more fun and good times in Halo 3 than in Reach too.

Finally, some intelligence has arrived at this forum, I'm no longer alone. Also you freely admit that you are bad at Halo, something most other tards in here could not bring themselves to do because they revolve their lives around pressing buttons on a controller.

Well done OP. Respect = earned.

Got it? good.

Reach will never and can never compare to Halo 3. In my mind Halo 3 is still the greatest and the one fps game I use as a standard against every other fps game I own.

H3 is for beaners and horrible foreign kids that can't win on fair grounds, and Reach is for Retards.

IMGN you are absolutely correct in every part you wrote down here. But there is one thing I would like to say to you: I don't beleive you are actually bad at all you do in Halo 3. Everybody has theyre bad and good skills. Like if you are bad at killing enemies with BR then maybe your good at driving vehicles, sniping enemies or any other stuff. So my point is: don't lose hope (even though i'm not saying you are) because you might be good at one thing or another. But what I actually wanted to say is that if it was Noble Team vs. Master Chief then whose with me that Master Chief would win?

This In-game Carnage Report idea goes completely to my pal, Monrulars. He come up with the idea and he deserves all the credit for it. I just posted it for him.

In-game Carnage Report.

- Master Chief vs. Noble One -
Master Chief splattered Noble One.
(Tool of Destruction = Hornet)

- Master Chief vs. Noble Two -
Master Chief killed Noble Two with a Headshot.

- Master Chief vs. Noble Three -
Master Chief sniped Noble Three.

- Master Chief vs. Noble Four -
Master Chief killed Noble Four.
Master Chief is now a Shotgun Spree!

- Master Chief vs. Noble Five -
Bomb armed. Point scored.

- Master Chief vs. Noble Six -
.... Fistfight to the finish.

....

....

....

....

Master Chief assassinated Noble Six.

Master Chief wins!
Game Over.


That what I think would happen.
Who agrees?

Halo no longer has that chess kind of approach on it where two teams battle for map control, working together to outplay the other team.Its now a bunch of sugar rushed ten year old's playing soccom boppers at 12:00 AM.

Halo 3 > Reach

  • 05.07.2011 12:14 AM PDT

‎"Death is temporary. Losing is forever."

My personal opinions

Gameplay:

Reach > 3

Graphics:

Reach > 3

Strategy:

Reach > 3

Replayability:

3 > Reach

(Reach gave me two weeks of replayability I went back to halo 3 but sucked at it and thought it was crap and went back to reach even though I hated it. I went and played minecraft for a while got back on my xbox and Halo 3 was completely refreshed and amazing again SO FRIGGEN HAPPY!!! Even though there are only like 3 players on at a time...)

Fun:

3 > Reach

There is tons of fun in reach the forge is amazing the customs are honestly better, and invasion is amazing.

But the greatness of inviting a few close friends over and playing Halo all day/night is gone. There is no running the warthog like an idiot down valhalla instead there is running a warthog in a circle around a guy who is armour locking...

Maps:

Cant judge soz, I like some of both although I dislike bungie making every forge piece gray and basically ruining five maps because of it. (Not to mention half the awesomeness of the new forge...) >:(

BTW WHAT I MEAN BY THIS IS uh duh duh duuuuuuhhhhh

HALO 3 > HALO REACH

Correct, Halo 3 was and is more fun than Reach. There's too many annoying things in Reach which just bull-blam!- you over and over and over.

“Who you are now, is not who you will be 10 years from now… who you will be 10 years from now... is up to YOU.”

Halo 3 will always win against Reach! Halo 3 actually feels like Halo rather than Reach.

  • 05.08.2011 4:53 AM PDT

Burn Bright. Burn Blue.

I do think that H3 was better but I like Reach on live, I like some new guns but I miss some others. I'm OK at H3 but I'm really good at Reach, but I think most H3 maps are better. Halo 3 campaign wins, theres no comparison. But I liked the space-fighting feature.

  • 05.08.2011 9:47 AM PDT

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

Halo 3 > Reach

I hope Bungie is not lazy and brings back a Double EXP playlist without actually giving double experience points.
