halo 2 has room for improvement but my latest posts in the reach forum were to get a thread going for montages of reach...

it didn't go so great... only a few posted videos .

every post i ever made in reach was to improve it

to get an update to make it have a halo 2 rank type system etc.

I've just try to bring my experince in halo 2 and see if they could be placed into halo reach


some see this as trolling but i just wish to discuss not to troll

it's all about intention that makes it trolling or discussing.


saying:

halo reach sucks = trolling

but saying:

halo reach could be better with this improvement from another game i.e. halo 2 button glitches and here is why is not trolling to me but to quite a few reach people this is trolling to them.... lol but it isn't to me, it's discussion.


I've seen a good dozen threads on Reach forum by you over the past month that made no sense. They were always irrelevant and the only one that sticks to me right now is the one where you were asking for tribute video comparisons and linked to your halo 2 tribute thread and went on and on about it. I loled so hard at first of how much of a troll that was. I started to wonder if you are trying to piss everyone off or if you don't even know how hard you are trolling. I couldn't tell if you were trying to call Reach dead already or if you were trying to promote yourself.

The only reason the sales will rise from game to game is because Halo is in the title. Sales have nothing to do with how bad Halo Reach really is. Why don't we talk player populations and how long Halo 2 held on to the number one spot?


>Implying Reach is bad.
>Halo 2 literally had no competition. None. At all.
>Population for Reach is higher than H2 population was.

Halo 2

Halo Reach

No more trashing Reach please. It's selling faster than any other Halo game and in a few months it's almost sold what Halo 2 has sold in over 6 years.

You forget that the fanbase for Halo is bigger then ever, back then it was alot smaller, and a hell of a lot better IMO
Halo Reach sucks, its not a Halo game, its a piece of trash, dont let the door hit you on your way out :).

You've played around 319 hours of Reach. You need to reevaluate your life if you think it's trash and you spend all your free time playing it.

Halo reach will never be loved as much as halo 2 and gaming has only been getting bigger since h2 was released so it's kinda sad reach still isn't beating h2 and even when it does it won't be by much.

Right so halo reach should sell in 9 months what it took halo 2 6 and a half years to sell. I posted this because of a myth on the forums that Reach sold 3.3 million copies or something. That number was in it's first 24 hours.

Considering how much console gaming has grown I think it should be doing better but its hard to judge 2 games made quite far apart. Also how many copies do you think have been sold back or traded in vs h2? I bet reach has significantly more already.

halo 2 doubled it's sales year on year

reach will never do this


Because no one buys games that are over 6 months old anymore. Halo Reach has much more competetion than Halo 2 which was the ONLY good shooter of it's day.

  • 06.07.2011 3:05 AM PDT

If you didn't Play Halo: CE or Halo 2 MP, your opinion about Halo means nada.

CE + H2 >>>>>>>>>>>>>> H3+Reach+H4

50 in H2/H3? Great, but you still fail at this.

Dear TotallyMassive

You are a bigger troll then me. In fact, half these threads would get locked in this forum, look at the lock wave in the CE forum.

This is actually the stupidest thing ever posted on B.net:

Why does everyone hate Halo 2? Maybe its because its the worst game ever next to mario.

Everybody gets a cookie for comparing 2004 vs 2010.

Halo 2 > Halo reach

Now shut the -blam!- up. You probly never had the halo 2 experience online.
I still have friends online that I made friends with in halo 2
Halo reach nobody talks not the same community it used to be you just play with them once and then there gone. halo 2 if you played 1 game together youd become the bestest friends if you both dominated. cant do that anymore. Do us all a favor get the -blam!- out and if you never played the game dont speak.

Well you're a bit late in this because I have already explained I've played all Halo games at launch times and as far as I can tell you've never played Reach. Ironic? I think so.

Not to try to pull an MLK here, but the simple fact is it's all one Halo. The same people who made 2 made Reach. And there's no comparing the old Xbox days to today's DLC-heavy, far more established 360 market. It really is apples & oranges. Without 2 there'd be no 3 and so on. Save the hate for inferior pieces of crap like GTA and Modern Warfare. I have no idea what makes these bad jokes top selling titles, but, as a gamer of over 30 years, I think we can do better on all fronts.

Back in the previous system generation, I liked a lot more games. Now it seems like Halo is the only game I can even tolerate without getting bored. We have been spoiled by this series and shouldn't worry about the sales. I just wanted to get out of the way the myth that Reach is somehow a failure. Also, I think 343 will do justice to this series because they are comprised of many previous Bungie employees. I am also excited to see Bungie get a new IP off the ground. It will give me two series to have countdown parties for.

why are you making a point on Reach selling better? i do't get it. And Halo wasn't as popular when Halo 2 came out as it is today.

  • 06.08.2011 8:35 PM PDT

Halo CE saved the xbox

Halo 2 gave xboxlive the jump start it needed

Halo 3 was the #1 most played game on xboxlive for a majority of its life span. (exception being when Cod4 and MW2 came out)

Reach is now #3 and has maybe half the population halo 3 did at this point.

Reach is honestly a huge let down, the game is just annoying as -blam!- to play.

R.I.P. Halo 2 11/9/04-4/15/10
If you havn't played Halo 2 online than you are missing so much. Plus if you have played a good amount of Halo 2 online, I might have a better chance of listening to anything you say.


Posted by: NOBLE SlX
By the way the figures do not include Reach's on demand downloads. I myself bought Halo 3 and Reach off on demand.


Why would you buy them again off of demand? And since when does more sales = better? So you're telling me the Wii was the best video game console this generation? I love Nintendo but the Wii and its terrible 3rd party support was a fail. WiiU looks awesome though.

Exactly, after over 2,000 games I can infer that Halo Reach= Trash, it is way to easy and very boring IMO.

You are basing Sales on which games are better really are you stupid I guess ShadowRun was a POS then


And LOL @ populations of course Reach and H3 had better populations there are far more people on XBL nowadays compared to 04-07

For one, you're the bad kid. Also, I'm not a Reach kid. I have played Halo since about a month of its release. Less people knowing about Halo does not change the fact that people still can buy halo 2 yet Reach has almost outsold Halo 2 is 6 months.
