Halo 3 Legend

I wouldn't say it's dead.

Halo is in a bad way right now.

If 343 go back to the Halo 3 style gameplay that all the hardcore fans loved, then all the non Halo fans will call it Halo 3.5 etc.

But if they change it up again, then all the loyal fans will leave, it will be like Reach over again.

Such as COD?

Just one of many stories.

And even if they don't use THAT specific game given to them, I'm greatly sure they play CoD as well with their friends.

If I'm not mistaken, one of the guys in the ROTC that I knew in high school said that they used Halo as training. By they, I mean the military.

iPhone 4S 64GB Black.

This has NOTHING to do with how good or bad reach is. It's because of CoD and that's it. Yes, for loyal Halo fans like me it's sad that Halo is dead. But look, Halo 4 has 100 thousand pre orders in America online right now and it's not out till another year and a bit.

4 might fix everything. If they take everything from Halo Reach and Halo 3, fix it and use classic gameplay. Add a tonne of new features and there. CoD might struggle like it did during Halo 3.

Same -blam!- as battlefield. Hardly exciting.


Except battlefield isn't very fun and looks terrible. Reach isn't fun either. But MW3 is....just saying coming from a Halo vet.


Battlefield3 "looks" terrible............ but MW3 doesn't?

Im done.

Reach is old, and so many new good games are out/ coming out. Battlefield 3, assassins creed, skyrim, dark souls, saints row 3. And probably more i don't remember.

Once all those games die out reach will go up again.

And halo isnt dead, everyone will be back for halo 4.

im a hardcore halo fan i stuck with the game no matter what and now im seeing comments saying reach is bad which makes me want to kill some one! halo reach was a step forward if bungie kept the old halo style the game would have got old and turned into cod, and halo 3 was the bigest let down for me. i only played a week of halo 3 and i got bored of it and then i got reach which brought back what i loved about halo! i have now suck with the game for 4 months now it's the most fun ive had since battles in blood culch halo CE.

It's more like diying not dead. I hope Halo 3 will stay the same its like my Last Resort for when Reach dies. Though I am looking forward to Halo CEA since it is a halo game.

  • 11.06.2011 1:58 AM PDT

O hai

I've been playing nothing but BF3. honeslty i feel a little stupid for defending reach. i mean it's still an okay game... but i can defenetly see it's flaws more clearly now.

not only that, but so far in the bf3 comunity i've yet to come a cross a "noob" a mouthy little prick or BK of any kind.
It's nice not being tea-bagged after every kill or have to listen to a high piched little -blam!-.

I think it's cause the game is to hard for the kiddys. it's basically whoever pulls the trigger first gets the kill. not "who ever spams the spamyest"

You hated Halo 3 because you are even worse at it than you are at Halo Reach? Reach is a casual paradise, perfect for people like you.

  • 11.06.2011 3:11 AM PDT

I CAN HAZ RECON?

Personally, i think reach is dead. When i go on to play it, i play for a little while then i put it back on the shelf.
Im gonna just wait for halo 4 to bring me back. Reach has lost its "spirit" IMO.
I just dont get how it came to be
reach has better engine
better graphics
plenty of hype and advertising
yet it is soo...(insert word here)

  • 11.06.2011 3:17 AM PDT

I feel that until Reach's population drops down to the hundreds, Reach will never be dead. If Reach can survive this MW 3 craze thats gonna happen (which it will), then Reach wont die until Halo 4. A Halo game can only be killed off by another Halo game.

I agree, I'm ready for MW3, I've played Halo since CE when I was just 7 years old. I hated Reach and always will.

Modern Warfare 3 looks pretty promising. I hope 343 can return the core Halo gameplay with Halo 4

  • 11.06.2011 6:32 AM PDT

I played Halo CE and Halo 2 then went to cod4 and skipped halo 3, and getting noob tubed on mw2 isnt fun so i went to reach

The simulations they use are absolutely nothing like CoD, they don't even use simulations to train foot soldiers

I'm still fond of Reach but it just got boring after playing it for a year straight. I pop back in every once in a while to play a game or two and enjoy it though, otherwise I'm playing Lord of the Rings Online

If I'm not having trouble matching up with anyone in matchmaking, it doesn't have a population problem. You want dead games, I have one's where I'm lucky to find a single person playing them.

Also, lol, MW 1.3, I'm going to go out on a limb here, but I'm guessing the campaign and multiplayer are exactly the same as MW 1.2, which was the same as MW. (Expansions don't get a full version number)
