Halo 3's revival will be Septmeber 25, 2011
That is the day magic happens again.
That is the day memories come back
That is the day our old Spartan's stand again
And I have just seen that Halo 3 is better than Reach. It felt like I was home when I was playing it.
I look at Reach and I ask myself, Where did all the fun times go? In Reach I just play it to play, but in Halo 3 I remember my good times and bad times.
I would like this thread to discuss which is better, Halo 3 or Reach. I am on the Halo 3 side, but I want you guys to prove me wrong.
MAPS
First thing for Halo 3, Bungie got the maps just right. They were great and fun. You could always find ways to dodge the enemy or find a neat sniping spot. You always had fun fighting the enemy, whether you got tea-bagged or splazered. I remember me getting out of my chair going "How did they do that" and then sitting down laughing going "Who cares! That was pretty neat"
Halo Reach is where they screwed up. Six of our multi-player maps are made in forge. Most of them are just bland maps with no creative way to kill the enemy. It is just 'Turn left then right' unlike Halo 3 where is what 'What to do?' The colors in Reach are very dark too. It makes you feel tired and have no energy. While in Halo 3, the bright colors always got me ready for a game.
GAMEPLAY
Halo 3 was fun without the bloom. It was fun just to do everything. It was fun getting t-bagged. The gameplay in Halo 3 was much more slick than anything else. Fighting for the weapons, or making custom games and chilling with your friends. It was all fun.
Halo Reach, is fun, but NOT AS fun as Halo 3. Reach's gameplay is not that great. It isn't that fun either. I still ask myself, where did all the good times go?
FORGE
Yes. Reach's forge would win by far. But for some reason I liked the Halo 3 forge even more. I don't know how to explain it, it is just better in my opinion. I know Halo Reach's forge you can do this and that. But it is not the same as Halo 3's. Even in Forge World, they give you the standard pieces. They need to have the variety of Halo 3's Sandbox or Foundry.
PRESENTATION
Halo 3's layout and look felt really good. The music in the main menu pumped me up for the game I was going to play in Multi-player, Campaign, or anything else.
Halo Reach's is just not good. It is just going to game, just looking for a match. I mean, where did all the squeakers you would make fun of go?
That concludes my argument. I will continue to post more to this comment regarding other aspects of the game.
EDIT 1: PROVING A POINT
I would like to personally schedule a date where all Halo fans on this site go back to Halo 3. If you enjoy Reach, please stay. But everyone that thinks Halo Reach isn't that great and Halo 3 is superior to it I need you to come back to prove a point. Hopefully, Bungie or 343 will understand what it happening and totally update the game.
Remember the fun times? Come back and return to those memories. Those great memories.
AUGUST 20, 2011 will be the date of revival.
That is the day we will prove a point.
That is the day when we will speak for change.
And we won't return until they have met our standards.
EDIT 2: FORGE COMPARISON
Yes, Halo Reach may have this and that in forge. You can float objects without having to leave the game. But in total comparison other than features, Halo 3's was superior. We can only forge on one map, Forge World. While in H3 we could forge on all the maps and have it to our liking. In H3 it was about using the environment to meet your goals. But in Reach everyone has forged in Forge World. But I can't forge on my covenant cruiser. I can't forge on my base.
AUGUST 20, 2011 will be the date of H3's revival.
That is the day we will prove a point.
That is the day when we will speak for change.
That is the day when we won't return until they meet our goals.
That is the day words become reality.
EDIT 3: JUST ABOUT FUN
If you have seen my Halo 3 stats, A am not a General, I am a Captain. I do not care, but I had fun. Whether it was customs or multiplayer, I had fun. Even when I got owned I said "That is ok because this will happen. I am having a good time though."
Also, forget about these minor things in Halo 3. Lag is supposed to happen. Even for me, an American, it happens. Hosts are fine. I just want to talk about the core gameplay. It was fine.
I do know about us looking plastic, but that is fine because it is a great game. Think about it, do you remember back in the days of SN64? Remember how bad the graphics were? We had fun playing the game so none of this matters.
I want to make sure to start a rebellion against Bungie. I want them to never do anything we disagree with again. If we ask them for a title update and they don't give it to us, we will give it to them. If we do not play Reach, but Halo 3 instead. They will lose money! They will be forced to change it to what we see applicable.
AUGUST 20, 2011 will be the date of H3's revival.
That is the day we will prove a point.
That is the day when we will speak for change.
That is the day when we won't return until they meet our goals.
That is the day words become reality.
That is the day we have fun again.
That is the day our old spartan's life again.
EDIT 4: GROUP
I have recently made a group dedicated to Halo 3's Revival. If you want something, we will talk to bungie or 343 and tell we can tell them. Please join if you would like to support and take part in spreading the word.
