Hey guys.I've been reading so much lately about which is better Halo 3 or Halo Reach.This really gets under my skin.I'm a huge Halo fan and have been since the beginning.This is true for most Halo fans and the late comers(Halo2 or Halo3 players).
Now,i would like to just make a few points as to why in my opinion Halo 3 is untouchable(50 kills,nice!)firstly comparing Reach to Halo 3 is like comparing a family wagon to a sports car(a really fast one). Now i know Reach purists will be pissed at me but that's what it's like purely because Halo 3 is that good.Reach in its own right would be a sports car too compared to other games(pardon my analogies).
When i play Halo 3 i really feel the scope of battle even if that battle is only a game of doubles!I can also play halo 3 for hours on end without getting bored(just hungry). Now,the same cannot be said of Reach.I'm easily bored,frustrated and left empty,if that makes sense.
I've been trying to pinpoint the main issue i have with Reach but its so hard.If was a standalone game i really believe it wouldn't of had the success it did.
I feel like a heretic writing this but i must get it off my chest!!!I feel a little used(abused)by Bungie because i think they really just wanted to finish the contract with Microsoft with a kinda;here you go,this will keep em busy.It goes without saying the reason for Halo's success is solely due to The Chief so why have a Halo game without him?
I love Bungie and Microsoft for everything they have given me and will never ever forget that!The mythology surrounding the halo universe is truly on an epic scale.With the novels(what a read!)the animated shorts from halo evolutions/Halo Legends and of course the games.Halo is Our Generations Star Wars and Star Trek(Halo dominates both of these universes purely because of the Chief).
If anybody does take the time to read this i would love to hear some feedback and continue posting about this subject.It isn't fair on my behalf that I am biased towards Halo 3.So,I would love to hear other perspectives.Love you Bungie,Love you Microsoft,Love you Halo!!!But it still lingers,We Only Ever Wanted The Chief.
fix'd but
Wrong,
If you were a real halo gamer you would love every halo game, Reach included. Master Chief is an iconic character he doesn't make the franchise. There are entire books without him included such as Contact Harvest and Ghosts of Onyx.
You can't say that the Halo mythos revolves around the Chief only the games do. The universe of Halo establishes the Chief as small part of thousands of years of struggle, even if he did great things.
You could argue the Forerunners are the true fire behind the universe. As everything that happens is directly influenced by them.
The Flood.
The Covenant War.
Humanity Itself.
Delve deeper than the games when you talk about the universe.
