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.

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.


no halo 3 was to easy for me to play and im not saying i hate the game but it let me down after playing halo wich was a lot better than halo 3 but after halo 3 i went back to odst (because it's better than halo 3). and im ahardcore gamer and i play alot battlefield wich i can get 42 kills with 10 deaths.

Country: United States.
State: Pennsylvania.
County: Warren.
I graduated from high school on June-11-2011. I'm 19 right now. I'm turning 20 in December. I like playing video games, and board games. I like reading Sci-Fi, and World War II novels, and what not.

"There is nothing better in the world than being better at a video game than someone else....oh wait"

I'm 18. So I've grow up with Halo for 10 years. First Halo was Combat Evolved. Like every vet.
I find the games to be fun. But they just get boring now.
Now I'm playing Fallout, Gears of war, Call of Duty, and Battlefield.

Halo: Combat Evolved: I love the campaign. It's still my favorite halo game.
Halo 2: I didn't have live. So I played the campaign. Which was fun.
Halo 3: I got live in 2009. I found that to be vary fun. Like the majority of the community. More then half of my total games played are custom.

Halo 3: ODST: It was fun. But to me it's just a half ass game to make money.
Halo Reach: It's fun. But anybody can tell Bungie didn't try at all making it.

-Campaign barly had a story. The only thing we did that was important. Was retrieving Cortana taking her to the Autumn. And making sure it gets of the fround.
-Hardly anybody had any character development.
-Those of you that read the Fall of Reach novel. I'm sure everyone of you was expecting this massive battle. But we didn't get that. We got this half-ass invasion force. Also Bungie did a failed job. At capturing the battle of Reach.

-Maps are un-creative. Copied areas from the campaign.
-Forge Word: Everything looks the same.
-DLC: The maps are nothing like the quality we got from Halo 2, and 3 DLC maps.

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

Yeah, pretty much.

Halo 4 will breathe life into the series again though. It'll bring back all the people who are just Halo fans, and weren't looking to get the tagged on games like ODST and Reach.

R.I.P. Halo 2 <33333333
Do not play halo much anymore. Barely ever come on here.

The community has just completely changed. Back in the Halo 2 original xbox days everyone loved halo 2 since it was a competitive yet social game. Now everyone just wants to be "pro" and say "you are bad" after ever kill they get, makes me sadfaced.

Can't wait for MW3.


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.


I have to agree as well, I've been playing Halo for 10 years now and since I can't stand Reach and don't find it fun at all, it'll be traded in when MW3 launches.

BF3 has something completely different then MW3, the game just players slower so many gamers will also leave BF3 for MW3 as the game is just amazing. Crazy how VERY LITTLE is changed yet they keep a huge fan base. (Bungie, overlooked that with Reach)

How could anyone ever trade in a Halo game? No matter how bad or good it is. It's still part of the best gaming franchise ever. MW3 is basically equivalent to a Halo Reach TU, wouldn't trade in Reach to get the whole CoD series.

It was 140,000 on a good day but now it's 80,000 at it's best. When MW3 comes, I'm guessing 15,000 or most likely less. I found a game faster on Halo 3 than Reach BTW.

Hey, uh, if you like vs threads, then check out this little group right here, if you have the time. It's pretty fun, just hop right in.

I haven't been playing lately because Dead Space 2 is infinitely cooler. I'll get back to it eventually.

I was once an incredible Halo fanboy. I loved Halo, and still do love the series, but Halo Reach is just awful. So yes, I'd say Halo is dead.

I would love to see them resurrect it, but Microsoft beat the pulp out the market with it.

Maybe until halo 5 or 6 comes out on the next xbox. With the graphic overhaul and hopefully, new mechanics for gameplay, the halo community might restore to its former status...

  • 11.06.2011 2:45 PM PDT

In this world you must stand for something or you will fall for anything.

I agree with you,but I never had internet as a kid....because there was not internet, like there is now,when I was growing up.I got internet when I got my first apartment,and since I had bills to pay I could only play casually(socially),which was fine with me.

Once upon a time Halo was an underground game with a cult following.It seems to me that Bungie wanted to go out with a bang when they made Reach.Reach is much more of a mainstream game.I still enjoy Reach as much as I did the day(12 midnight)when I got it.....sad to see the community in such an uproar.....love it or hate it,play it or don't.

Making a game nice and shiny doesn't make it any better. And didn't they already try new stuff with Reach and people got pissy about it?

lolnope.

A lot of cool people did leave...

I hate the way people say Halo Reach is so bad. The only thing that ruins it for me is that the gameplay is a big and bad change from previous Halo's. And maybe some AA's, oh and bloom. But other than that, it's an updated version of Halo 3. I play customs a lot more than MM so it doesn't really bother me. I don't really see what all this hate is for.

But anywho, Halo Reach is dying and will be dead when you know what comes out.

In response to the title; Battlefield 3 was released.

sure halos not as popular as in years past but # 4 on xbox live charts isn't too bad most games would kill for being in the top 15

It depends on what you mean by "dead". Population-wise, of course it isn't dead. There are still thousands of people you could be playing with, and its still the 4/5 most played game on live.

But community wise?

Halo is absolutely dead. Remember when we had a thriving community? Machinima like Pre-Game Lobby and Matchmaking were abundant. Community memes like the No-Scope song and Brysi's work were common. Bungie communicated with the community constantly. We worked together as a community, whether it be by dismissing the secret of sandtrap or finding Recon. We did awesome feats, like LASO (when you didn't actually get exp for it). A great way of telling the quality of a game is the diversity and activity of its community. We once had a thriving one.

Not anymore.

The community feels empty. Its artistic quality gone. Look at games like Minecraft, WoW, and Starcraft. They have diverse and active communities, and the quality of the game is what ties it together. Reach was very meh, and did a poor job at holding the community together. It just didn't feel like halo.

No, Halo isn't dead, population wise. But that soul, its long gone.

Wait 4 Halo 4.


Posted by: Gamesagers
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.


Reach is old? nice excuse girl.
Haven't you heard of MW2 and BO?? MW2 came out 2 years ago and BO a year ago and have 2-4 times the population of Reach. u dig?
