As most of us would agree, MOST of us, Halo 3 has better gameplay than reach. It was also a better seller. Why is it that now, more people are playing reach? It doesnt make sense because most people would agree H3 is better. I just think it's funny how everyone always has to play the most RECENT halo lol.

For one, Halo 3's netcode is horrible.

I've also heard that griefers still exist along with various people who DDoS along with other network manipulation tactics at high ranks.

Because Bungie, or Bungie directed by Microsoft, forced people to go to Halo: Reach. The lack of Halo 3 related updates, the relocation of the Halo 3 Forum from the Community drop down list at the top, etc.

Also, there are people who actually like it. I enjoy it sometimes, although not thoroughly.

I like Halo 3 more, but the reason I still play reach is...
1) Don't have halo 3 any more
2) Better graphics ( I know graphics don't make a game)
3) You have something to play for (credits/armor)
4) Actually supported with updates
5) Caters to the casual player

I loved halo 3 its just old theres no updates or playlists being put out for double exp. And today i got hit offline out of a social match the game is practically dead.

Ron Artest on personal goals left in the NBA.

Q:"NOW THAT YOU'VE WON A TITLE, DO YOU STILL HAVE ANY PERSONAL GOALS IN THE NBA?"

A:"I would love to get back to first-team All-Defense. I own defense. It's like my corporation. I'm the CEO and everyone else is just an employee. The fans and players know I belong. When you need a stop, who you going to call? Not the goddamn Ghostbusters, I'll tell you that. You call me."

I put down the Reach in favor of H3 for about a month. Loved it. Then went back to H3 this month. Love it. But there's a crap load of boosters, derankers, hostbooters, etc.

That's REALLY what killed the game. It almost killed H2 as well, except for the fact that Bungie released a major update (primarily to the netcode) and reset the ranks in order to level the playing field. Seriously, I was playing SWAT yesterday, and both my tean AND the other team were in a deranking contest. I lost, even though I had 33 kills.

All in all, H3 would have been much stronger if it didn't have as many ailments as it does. But I can still catch glimpses of the fun I had 2-3 years ago.
