The first Halo game I played was Reach. And I love that game. So I thought that since I loved Reach I should play through the other Halo games. So I got Halo 3: ODST. Played through the campaign and then tried to go back to Reach. But my brother put a giant crack in the game so every time I try to play the multiplayer it says load failure and then kicks me from the game.

So I look at the the Halo 3 multiplayer disc that comes with the game and I try it out. After playing a few rounds the only fun I had was free for all on Assembly.

So far it seems that the team that knows how to camp and spawn kill wins.

So... does this get fun? Or must I suffer through this crap until I can replace Reach?

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

Halo 3's multiplayer is far superior then Reach's multiplayer. You have to play with a group of friends and as a team.

G-Bread

Play the Social Big Team playlist to start. Don't focus on winning, just having fun. You should have a blast in the large scale games, and you'll get much more used to it over reach.

Yeah, halo 3's multiplayer is far better. The feel of the entire game is just much nicer and smoother.

My only issue is I cant play specfic things. I want to play certain maps for achivement,s but its just random :/

Trust me it was the funnest game of the series but with the population and cheating its ruined now its only good for memories the custom games where super fun its campaign was entertaining and super replayable matchmaking was fun to just since you can keep track of your rank in each of your playlist !!!

If you're playing on your own. Play Rumble Pit or Lone Wolves. If you're playing with a team, play a team game. Also, Halo 3's gameplay is superior to Reach's gameplay. It's a great game, but Halo 3 is better. Also, how do you know anything about the storyline if you haven't played any other game?

Im not MLG Pro, im Noob Pro.

Halo 3 isn't what it used to be btw. 2008-2010 is when it was at it's best imo. It has gone down hill without Bungie guiding it. After all it was Bungie that made it amazing and when they worked on Reach...it started sliding. It is still better than Reach's multiplayer though.

lol Reach. that's not even real halo.

halo 3's multiplayer was amazing and still is. Been playing it since midnight release of 2007 and I've yet to get bored of it.

love this post, totally agree.

It's a little too late for halo 3 though, halo 3's good days are gone if you don't want to play social or have few halo 3 friends to team up with it may be frustrating if your a new player

anyone who says halo 3 multiplayer was bad, either is a complete noob, or just recently started playing it after reach's release

I'm sorry America is busy helping others in the world and actually making a difference.

Something Canada will never do.

it's the reward for playing all these years =)

Halo 3's multiplayer gets really boring and stale pretty quickly. Its only better straight up competitively, but it is still fairly broken.

This is really true.

halo reach and halo 3 have completely different multiplayers especially the fact that halo reach's campaign has nothing to do with halo 3s. so u might get upset at that but once u pick up the br and sniper ull feel right at home :)
