*reminisces when the Bungie/Halo community wasn't made up of CoD kids*
*sighs*
*activates time-machine and sets the clock back to Nov. 9, 2004*
glory days here I come..
*vanishes*

Some say that armor abilities ruined reach.

1) true
2) true
3) true

4) DMR sucks in my opinion, the BR has been the rifle since halo 2 and should have been in reach

5) ?

6) never more than halo 3 except in the first week, reach died after 1 month.. i do not have more than 1 player on my friends list playing halo reach at one time compared to 15+ playing halo 3.. also, before reach, there would be 500,000+ players on halo 3 on the weekends, reach does not even get close to that amount

7) are dumb and are not halo in anyway, bungie just took the idea from other games (as they stated before reach came out)

8) stranger playlists, theres no need for 3 times as many playlists as halo 2 and 3

9) bubble shields were a cool idea, but camo is kind of lame

10) has everything halo NOT in it... the ranking system, weapons, AA's, Beat down system, ranks, armor, the fact that they changed the system after two of the most successful xbox games and turned off 75% or more of true halo players shows something

Nice try, but it's been done before. The only reason Reach gets any attention is because it's the newest.

1.Better graphics

Yeah, I'll give you that, but it comes at the price of terrible screen lag on split screen.


Posted by: solis4evah
2.Better forge

Yeah.


Posted by: solis4evah
3.Better customization

Okay


Posted by: solis4evah
4.No BR =p

DMR is basically the same thing and fills that role in reach, so kind of a moot point.


Posted by: solis4evah
5.less toony

I'm pretty sure last time I played reach it was still 7 foot tall power rangers vs space dinosaurs shooting blue lasers out of purple and pink guns.

6.more players

More players than Halo 3 now maybe.

Posted by: solis4evah
7.Armor abilities

You say that like it's a good thing


Posted by: solis4evah
8.Better playlists

It has more for sure, not sure I'd call permanent grifball and infection 'better'


Posted by: solis4evah
9.Being able to use camo and bubble shields whenever

Yeah, getting rid of items and power ups that promoted map movement and just giving them to players on spawn was a great idea, really sped the game up.. oh wait.

10. Has everything halo in it

Nope.

I think the playlist selection is better, but that is bungie's fault anyways. In Halo 3, they removed playlists because they fell to populations around one or two thousand. They don't do this in Reach for whatever reason, but like I said, for this you can blame Bungie's Halo 3 matchmaking team. You are wrong about pretty much everything else. Where do I start?

Bungie kinda failed making decent maps. Don't you find it a bit sad that almost every other map in matchmaking is made from Forge. All the maps have unbalanced spawning where one team gets better advantage to weapons. Also, the maps break when certain AA are abused. On big maps you can just camp with sniper and camo. Some maps are ruined with jetpacks that rain fire down on anyone using bumper jumper. And don't get me started on Armour Lock. AA is just a lame add on that slows the game down. Maybe the reason the maps are bad is because the gameplay is broken.

And who cares about customization of armour? That has nothing to do with the actual gameplay and the graphics in Halo 3 were fine. Sure, the weapons may look cooler, but bloom kind of ruins any chance of them being compared in good light. In halo 3, there was spread. You had to slightly lead your shots, but you knew how the spread worked because it was uniform. In Halo Reach, bloom is random and you have absolutely no idea which direction the bullets will go. Sometimes spammers win. They also added four or five new power weapons to whore and got rid of the Beam Rifle which was one of the most fun guns to use that took a little skill. Custom games have gone down the tube and there is a lot less there than in Halo 3 if you ask me.

More players is a lie. Halo 3 had over a million unique users a day playing up until Reach's release. Considering how much Microsoft pushes Halo Reach by giving it away free in special offers and spamming ads of the game, the numbers are pretty low. Halo 3 still has about 170,000/day playing it. Halo 3 was above Modern Warfare 2 when Major Nelson would update us on the most played live titles. Somehow, Reach is behind not one, but two cod games. Yep, Black Ops sits at number one and MW2 climbs back up to number two. Had Halo Reach never came out and Halo 3 given the attention, it would probably still be on top. Halo 3 was by far the better game.

Here's somethings that you didn't really address that should be mentioned. For one, the campaign was better. The story, the voice acting, and the music were all 100 times over better.

Jumping used to be a skill. Gandhi hopping and ghost jumping on guardian added elements to the game that no other halo game could replicate. Jumping skill alone is an element that I feel showcases why Halo 3 is the best in the series. You can't dodge any sort of grenade in Reach with a timely jump because they come in like nukes. Who cares if the playlists or graphics are better if the actual gameplay doesn't match it. Halo 3 was by far the superior game and OP must be trolling.

I'm listeni- Oh wait I don't give a -blam!- what you have to say.

Halo Reach is a sh.it game. It has a lot of polish but the gameplay is boring and frustrating.
It's a pitiful entry into the Halo series and a mediocre standalone game. Bungie took everything that made Halo a great game and f.ucked it in the arse, Reach does not play like a Halo game, it does not feel like one, it blows.

Also for a first person shooter there seems to be a lot less actual gun use. This is how my Reach experience goes:

Spawn
Get a kill or two
Die by people spamming grenades

Spawn
get a kill or two
Die by retard camping with sword

Spawn
Get a kill or two
Die by retard double melee'ing

Spawn
Get a kill or two
Die by grenades again.

It's a f.ucking shooting game, yet people barely even get kills with guns anymore because it's so easy to just be a noob and still rack them up.

F.uck this retarded gimmicky game.
