It's funny how you think your own stereotypes apply to everyone.

Well seeing as he posted it in the reach discussion there are obviously going to be a lot more players here that would vote reach...

And so that means people who vote Reach all love jetpacking and randomness?

I would take halo 2 instinctively, of course with online play,


?
just far better maps, online competetive play,

Not really, when you consider how poorly-made the game was. CE was better.

far better for fun,

Subjective

glitches were amazing,

Not for balance lol.

campaign off the charts,

Poorly-written, full of convienince etc bad story, CE & 3 were better.

just an outstanding game, halo reach makes me fall asleep in comparrison.

:(

Yet you post here for no reason?

you know there's a reason that people were playing it for weeks upon weeks after online officially went off.

Nostalgia?

hell i even hop on xlink and play with a buddy or two of mine on there. cat and mouse was the -blam!-.

Halo 3 was better for customs.

coagulation (the old hemmorage for you little kids who don't know an amazing game when you see it) was actually good then.

If you're not retarded, you'd know Blood Gulch was first.

super bounces. bxr, bxb, double shot, quad shot.

Were all exploits & cheating :(

skill.

Which was non-existent without cheating.

there didn't have to be any reason to play except to play, people play reach for credits, people played halo 2 for fun, and competition.

Source?

halo 2 > halo reach

chillin' story comrade, grammar is your friend.

I would define a real halo game to be one with the core game mechanics working at their best and not trying to mimic another series. Reach so desperately tries to be CoD, but we already have one of those, which is why barely anyone plays reach in comparison to H2/H3.


this ^^^ i loved CE and H2 more after i played reach and H3... i like how those 2 games (CE and H2) you could play forever with friends and family and not get tired of it... reach and H3 just have to much repetitveness with the use of AA's and equipment... thats just me though

~Only reply to posts with a question being asked, thats the only way I won't get banned~

There's more stuff to do in Reach.

Do you guys have any idea what you're saying? Do you have any clue how many posts & topics on the Halo 2 forum you contradicted?

Halo Reach is nothing like CoD lol

Seeing as the core gameplay in reach involves a lot of randomness and AA's yes.

I used jetpacks as it is one of the -blam!-est armour abilities but I meant armour abilities on the whole.

Jetpacks - Remove the need for map control
Sprint - Removes the need to think about what you are doing when charging as you can disengage so easily. Also makes the beginning of games incredibly retarded. If you don't have sprint on say goodbye to the powerweapons.
Armour Lock - Need I say more, -blam!- in so many ways
Hologram - Slows gameplay down, If the game is lagging it shows up as a red dot on the radar sometimes.
Camo - Radar jammer. Camo + powerweapons = instawin.

I'm sure I'm missing something but there you go. By randomness I mean bloom, weird nade bounces, a hill in outer space in doubles etc.

I'd choose Reach. Halo 2 had it's time in the sun. It's Reach's turn. It wouldn't be fair to the fans of Reach.

It is trying to be cod. To do that the gameplay has to be dumbed down and made more accessible to non gamers.

The only thing Reach has over Halo 2 is forge, theater, and customization. Halo 2 trumps it in just about everything else.

I've got one copy of Halo Reach and four copies of Halo 2. Need I say more?


same here... even without LIVE H2 was fun as ever, even with local and system link games... but reach well, if you dont have LIVE its a pretty useless game

I'd say Reach is more useless with Live than without. With Live you have to deal with the frustrating as hell matchmaking.

So the people who vote Reach all love that stuff? I like Reach, but agree Bloom could be tweaked. As for the Jetpack, it has it's uses, but I prefer Sprint. Not for the double beatdown, but so I can move faster.

I'll say you missed something, you missed common sense.

Halo 2 if the glitches like BxR, BxB, etc were fixed.

I think Halo 2 had a much more interesting campaign and superior multiplayer maps, also I think those homing rockets would have to be toned down a bit. But yeah, I have good memories of Halo 2 - but I'm not going to deny that it had its own problems either.

but if you play alot, especially when little kids (6-12) play, how many of them use common sense? reach is just too kid friendly

Your presence here is quite unneeded. Begone you!!!

Reach obviously....the online still works. But personally would love Chromehounds more if the online was still up

Why the heck would you make us choose!? I say both!

Not everybody is a fanboy dude. Seriously, this kind of near-religious zealotry over a video game is what tanks games. Check Sonic out, he's had plenty of good 3D games, but they constantly push the "OLD SCHOOL GAMES ARE DA BEST" card. Nevermind the fact the Adventure series, Colors, Chronicles, and Rush are amazing games.
