Life is a journey, if you spend all of it with your nose in your map, you may miss some of the best parts.

Funny, hardly anyone remembers who got the Silver. Even less remember who got Bronze, and no one remembers who followed Bronze up...

Agreed. All the changes are good and add variety. Do we really want another Halo 3? Just running around with one gun and no armor abilities? It's good that 343 wants to try something new. Do we really want the same thing for three more games?

I often see alot of people hating Reach, saying "ITS ONLY THE #6rd PLAYED GAME ON XBOX LIVE!!!!!!!"

Well, you see, there are TONS of Xbox live games.
Look at this Incomplete list

It doesn't even include arcade titles.

So now, your point is invalid. Go ahead and say my K/D is bad, make a grammar mistake or two. I don't care.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you a Reach supporter.

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

~Long Live Halo 2
Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

Halo 3 was never out of 1-2. And it was only out of 1st for small amounts of times when MW2 was released and afterwards.

Opinions are like butholes. Everyone's got one, nobody wants to hear about it.

You people fail to realize that Halo isn't as popular now as it was during H2.

How many games really gave it any competition at the time?

Granted Bungie really catered to the wrong side of the consumer coin this go around. There were not nearly as many "good" games out then. The only real kick in the nuts is the MW@ is still beating it and has been since it came out except for what like a month or 2?
CoD 4, Assassins Creed, and Mass Effect all came out less then 3 months after Halo 3 did. It had plenty of competition. It was still top dog.

That's pretty obvious seeing as it's 6th.......behind FIFA. But why did the 4th title take a nose dive?

Since when did the #1 position have any credence outside of sports?

The guy earlier talking about popularity has a point though.

A lot of FPS gamers that started with HALO have since migrated over to CoD, MW and BF titles and so forth because they're worlds easier.

Gamers these days don't want difficulty, they want ease. Why do you think these huge objective teams hold and smash squads of randoms all the time while others sit there and run through nightfall 200 times en route to commendations, or use the target locator for 30,000 kills, or play FF Arcade 24/7?

Halo Reach doesn't live up to Halo standards. Halo 2 was number 1. Halo 3 was always 1 or 2. Reach is 6th.

:/

  • 11.03.2011 7:10 PM PDT

Gamers migrated when Halo 3 got old (2+ years) and Reach turned out to be terrible. Reach came out, was #1, and quickly fell off........for a reason.



Don't get me wrong. I couldn't care less where the game is on the charts. All I'm saying is it's obvious what happened.

Why is it that hard to admit Reach was a failure as a Halo title?


Reach was a flop.

It was the same as any other Halo game.

Think about it this way...

There is a big fish, in a small tank. It is the biggest fish in the tank. Soon, there are more fish coming, and the tank gets an upgrade.

The water (Xbox Gamer) is growing, and new fish (Games) Are coming out.

It's not good that Reach was 5th only a few weeks ago and dropped to 6th.

You do realize it was a clever parody of the common Reach basher?

Ladies and gentlemen - ah, sod it, I won't bother.

"Why is it so hard for people to understand that Halo 3 was a failure of a Halo game, when compared to Halo 2?"

Ah, psychology and the infinite chain of comparison.

I don't think reach deserves all this hate. It isn't as bad as people think it is. Aside from matchmaking connectivity issues, it is still a good game.

The only thing good about default Reach is hitscan.

  • 11.03.2011 9:17 PM PDT

reach was a flop in terms of the previous successes of the halo franchise*

there is a massive difference between an actual flop and a flop according to halo's standards.

reach has been pretty much a success from a game developer's viewpoint, it gets shady because it's another "bungie halo" game which have set the benchmark for console FPS.

compared to other games, i say reach was a success. compared to previous halos, i consider it somewhat of a flop

  • 11.03.2011 9:18 PM PDT

Great graphics, Great gameplay. The problem is that its another "halo" game. If it didn't belong to the halo series, no one would have problems.
