Subject: From your perspective, how is Reach doing a year later?

I am a pharmaceutical scientist. I received my Masters degree in Pharmaceutics from the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia in 2010, after working as a Pharmacist for 4 years. I currently work in King of Prussia, PA, and focus on the analytical chemistry of small molecule APIs. My clients include some of the most well known big pharma companies in the world.

A year later versus Black Ops, Crysis 2, Battlefield 3, Gears 3, Rage, and others and Reach is still one of the top played games. I think that says a lot for the game.
Couldn't agree more. I've always maintained that you can say whatever you want about the Halo series...the games have staying power. A very rare thing for games these days.


I know the community hates on the game a lot, but Reach allows for tons of different playstyles which can suit all styles of gameplay.
Honestly, the community was the absolute worst possible aspect of Reach. I've never seen so much subjective, sense of entitlement, mob mentality complaining against any game, on any forum. Ever.

Spam is okay, as long as it is not excessive.
Retardation is frowned upon, but somewhat acceptable.

While Reach introduced some newer aspects and is aesthetically better than Halo 3, some of the execution was bad, and Bungie should have accounted for the metagame shift from Halo 3 to Reach. 343's TU definitely made Reach as competitive as the previous Halos. With alterations to base player traits and proper competitive settings, Reach will keep the fire burning well up to Halo 4.

AFK: Away from Kontroller. Don't do it or you'll get the living crap smacked out of you by the Banhammer. If you disagree with any of this, you are just bad at Mortal Kombat.

Bad.


Pretty much the people that are left are even playing other games. Halo Reach is what number 5 or 6 now it will fall off of the charts after this year. One day Halo 3's population was higher than Halo Reach isn't that sad?

It's a little less fun and just as frustrating. BF3 should hold my interest for now.
