Reach's flaw are quite evident in all categories of it's Campaign. I've already went over AI and immersion. But what happens if I address levels piece by piece and talk about the little details? Reach's flaws will be 100% exposed! :o But I'm not going to bother, since they won't listen. :(

So yeah, Halo 3 > Reach.

Hanger one I just shredded with the SMGs until ammo was out and I just threw 'nades like a boss while BRing.

My experience playing Cairo Station on Legendary

Reach is a solid game but they changed too much, too fast.

They slowed down movement speed, lowered jump height, added Health Bars, strengthened grenades, added Armor Abilities and added Reticle Bloom.

In Halo 3 they slightly changed character movement from Halo 2, kept the grenade damage about the same. Added Equipment. That's really about it. Gameplay was definitely different but it felt like Halo.

Halo Reach feels like a futuristic Call of Duty. Sure it LOOKS like Halo but it doesn't play like Halo. You can blame AAs and Bloom for this, but it's still a major weight that holds the game down.

Halo 3 will always be the superior game but I am still sucked into the fact that Reach is the In game so I have to keep my mouth shut and continue playing.

Citizens of Me! The cruelty of the old Pharaoh is a thing of the past. Let a whole new wave of cruelty wash over this lazy land.

Hear the word of Pharaoh. Build unto me a statue of ridiculous proportion. One billion cubits in height......that I might be remembered for all eternity!

And be quick about it!

The Campaign was better, and so were the custom games.

I disagree. In Call of Duty perks and killstreaks ruin the game. Call of Duty 2 was 'the' game back in the old days and that had no perks or killstreaks. CoD 4 introduced them and they were accepted. Then they went overboard in MW2 with Nukes, EMP's and Chopper Gunners, etc. Thats what ruined Call of Duty and Halo has non of those.

The gameplay is nothing like eachother. Sure AA may seem like perks. But where is the killstreaks? Killstreaks can be what make CoD a living hell.

reach would be a GOOD game if bloom was removed/tweaked

I have played halo 3 and enjoyed more than reach but then again it turned out better than black ops so the best name to give it is a game

Have faith in me

Yes, many former Halo 3 players now play Reach. I mean, Reach is fun but I must say Halo 3 is much, much better. I must agree with you that the forge maps in Reach are not as good as Halo 3. No, I have not played Reach but from what most of my friends say, it sounds that Halo 3 is better. Now, back to the subject of Forge. Ok, in Halo 3, we have Foundry and Sandbox. Yes, there are other GREAT, I repeat GREAT, maps on Halo 3 but Foundry and Sandbox are the best to edit on. On Foundry, its a great "starter forgers" map. Its a closed space that is just so simple (technically a square) to edit. Also, in Sandbox it has the underground area, the main area and the greatest of all, the over ground/space area. Halo 3 maps are genius.
