I agree with everything under "Halo 3 > Halo: Reach" except for "You can be an elite any time." I like the direction Halo: Reach went with Elites in matchmaking A-LOT more. Also I don't agree with "Better armor." Halo: Reach armor is way better.

For "Halo: Reach > Halo 3", I agree with everything but I must add more.

-Covenant Weapons are more equal to UNSC weapons.
-All the weapons are effective and balanced.
-Sprint (ONLY good AA)
-Better armor customization.
-Elites are enemies in campaign, not allies.
-Better AI
-Health is back
-Everything runs smoother

Both have they're ups and downs, and both are good.

On Heroic and lower. Legendary is just like H2 and H3.

Agreed.

I liked them better as allies. Only reason I can think of for someone not liking them as enemies is because the Elite AI in H3 were terrible and the Elite AI in H2 were too wordy.

-Better AI
Disagree for many reasons. Instead of going into a rant, I'm just going to say,

illusionary tactics.

They're unchanged from H2 and H3. They're just more cheaper with slight adjustments.

-Health is back
Was always there. You mean the health meter.

-Everything runs smoother
Agreed.

Whenever I go to play Reach, I always have that same mentality I've had for the past year. "Maybe if I give it a second chance....". I'll Probably never learn.
Playing Reach just makes me wish I was playing Halo 3.

Why can't we just combine the good aspects of Halo Reach and Halo 3 and make a new series of games???
