Its still there. The community, the glitches, the multiplayer, all of it is still strong.

I like the newer Halos', yes, but my love for H2 is what drives me on to keep playing Halo.

probably nostalgia but yes, reach just couldnt compare to the fun we all had during HALO 2's glory days, too bad most people have forgotten this true xbox classic

Fada beo Halo 2!

Most of us like the older ones, but I suck at H2 multiplayer.

I am a Halo fan, don't mistake me for having problems in appreciating the other titles. I simply have a special place in my heart for Halo 2, where the others do net.

Halo 2 is my favorite game. Back in the day when the servers were still on, it was so much more fun to play than Halo 3. If the servers were still on, I would still be playing Halo 2 rather than Halo Reach.

Halo 2 was, in my opinion, the best halo game. Definitely had the most fun with it then any other Halo.

H2 >= CE > H3 > Reach

Why?

H2 has resemblance to CE as does H3 (i.e. enemies notice their fallen) but H2 has some fun glitches that contribute to gameplay. And it doesn't have equipment. Finally, you get to play as a Covie and fight with Covies. Not to mention the Covie is badass and awesome and perhaps even a god.

Reach is a cheap imitation of CE and a badly modified H2+H3.

The pistol is mostly useless, the AR is useless, the plasma pistol is often useless (because you have to get a headshot soon after the bolts take down an Elite's shield otherwise it's a prolonged fight), and the needler is useless (because Covies dive from it. there's rarely enough ammo, and Elites have to have their shield taken down first) except against Brutes.

The only good returning weapons are:

rocket launcher, sniper rifle, plasma rifle

Especially because you can do infinite ammo swap with the first two. That means infinite rockets and sniping.

And the plasma rifle is just wow. The way it fires is entirely new.

The heavy landing stun is unsuitable for fast paced gameplay. This + bloom contributes to Reach's horribleness.

The physics are horrible. Back in the days, you had to launch marines and do all sorts of difficult stuff. Now you just need to ram them against something and they fly. Also, it's still too easy to splatter marines.

The damage modifiers are unbalanced.

And don't get me started on the AI and level design. It's atrocious and often unfair. And disappointing.

Finally, why give invincible enemies one kill shots? It's pointless and just aggravating.

There are only a few small redeeming things Reach possesses but they're so small I'm not even going to elaborate.

one of the only thing i liked about reach was the DMR, though a fraction of the population prefer the BR, i liked BUNGIES idea of a weapon which is a cross between a BR and a sniper - never would have thought of that.

but i agree with most of what you said, most weapons in the campaign are useless like the plasma pistol (uncharged), PR, plasma repeater, AR, concussion rifle... when the enemy uses them, its power is drastically higher so its harder for you in a bad way. could have sworn the difference between what a player inflicts/receives wasnt as far apart in CE, 2 and 3 but in reach: 1 and a half concussion ammo to kill an elite, 3 concussion shots for the elite to destroy your hog

I was going to mention it as one of Reach's redeeming qualities but due to how people are saying it can be spammed, I chose not to mention it. Maybe it's a myth... anyways, I actually prefer the pistol but the DMR is more reliable, as the pistol is hindered by small magazine and bloom.

I thought it was the other way around (charged bolt is useless, plasma pistol bolts are op). I agree about the AR and concussion rifle. Not to mention that the Jackals can fire immediately after firing an overcharged bolt and can charge the plasma pistol lightning fast. I haven't the pleasure of experiencing the Warthog, but I dislike how the Wraith is so vulnerable despite having a very powerful mortar.
