What I am about to say will equal suicide and hot flames, but yeah whatever. Anyway I prefer Reach over Halo 3 (Before you flame, listen to this.) not because of MM, but with Forge and Customs. Yeah, I do admit Forge World gets rather bland with it's greyness, but the stuff you create is amazing, same can apply to Custom games. I will also admit that Halo 3's MM > Reach's any day of the year.

I know I'm going to get flamed for this, with me preferring Reach over Halo 3, but keep in mind that this is my opinion and I do not wish to force it upon other people.

Oh yeah, I just wanted to know why people flame others so bad for liking Reach? Isn't it just a game?

People have a hard time telling the difference between an opinion and a fact. Most of the time, they believe that they are always right, and that their opinion is a fact.

If you prefer Reach, that's fine.
If you prefer Halo 3, that's also fine.
But if you come here and say that Halo 3 was better than Reach and say that anyone else who disagrees is bad, then theres a problem.

Everybody alive, and who has ever lived ever has thought that.

If you had said multiplayer then I would be mad, but Customs and Forge are the only redeeming qualities of Halo: Reach. Custom Firefight is so much better than the matchmaking version.

Customs is really the only way to attempt to fix all the things that were done wrong in the default game.

Your presence here is quite unneeded. Begone you!!!

Forging is somewhat easier but has so much more in the way of improving before it would be perfect. That and needs more custom gaming options. It's a start but not perfect.

I think the reason people are mad is because they paid for a product that didnt deliver what was promised.

Halo Reach was advertised as "the definitive halo" and unfortunately, reach played the least like a halo game, out of the entire franchise.

Then you have the people who never played a halo game before in their life, or someone who wasnt good at previous halos who now praise this game and defend it because they can contend with people who they otherwise would never be able to.

So the opposite demographic that opposes the previous viewpoint, dubbed the "halo veterans", simply want to strangle these people for even having the audacity to make such ludicrous claims that reach is the "best halo game" which clearly and statistically it isnt.

Just my two cents =]

I find it hard to believe a large portion of people who started at CE like ALL halo's including reach ( and I single out reach because reach is a determining factor, considering the large amount of negative criticism.)

I'm pretty much content with all Halo games, starting from CE all the way to Reach. I do prefer Reach because of Forge and Customs, but then I prefer 3 over Reach for it's intense Multiplayer and finally, I prefer CE for it's Campaign. I never experienced Halo 2 online, so I can't really judge it, but I still played the Campaign and loved it.

There you have it, one happy customer who likes all of the Halo games despite their flaws.

I'm with you here. Each game was different and had a wide array of pro's and con's. That said, Reach is my least favorite of the series. This fact does not mean I hate it. Obviously. I mean, I play it, right?
Now, I do not use forge, so I can't weigh in on that. One of my frustrations comes from forge, though: the small hopper of maps that are made by people who are paid to make maps.
Some of the community maps are fine, but, like you said, they are incredibly boring in their grey-ness.

I asked what portion,not that there was a large portion.Maybe 15% or so,maybe more it would be hard to say,since alot of people that started with CE dropped out or into other frachises.Honestly though if you were 8 or 9 and started with CE,what kinda perspective swing do you think there is between them and someone who was 20 and started playing at the same time.

I think that most halo players have the bandwagon mentality. if one idiot says reach sucks and says a few debateable "facts" more trolls will start having the same thoughts. I have a similar story, one day my friend who was a pro halo player, who used AL all the time BTW, went on this godforsaken website. after a couple hours he went back online and played MM with me, I noticed he wasn't using AL, so I asked him "why aren't you using AL, man?"
he said "the people on B.net said AL is for no skills, and I don't want my gameplay to be affected by nooby AL." ever since that his gameplay has worsened.
the moral of my story is that you idiots listen to one moron you start to think the same way, and you guys should stop it.
