Subject: Halo: Reach, and why I enjoyed it over Halo 3...

Heretic? Me? Never! You must be thinking of Elite-blam!-FTW.

*NOTE*

Yes, I did copy/paste my response to another thread, and no this is not someone else's opinion.

============================================================= =

I really hate people who go on hating at Reach. There's no such thing as a perfect game. This may look like I'm trying to cause a fight, but I'm giving legitimate why I didn't enjoy Halo 3 MP...

Clunky gameplay, it was very slow when it came to heated firefights.

Robotic feel, as in very linear gameplay.

Weapons felt weak, with little variety.

You couldn't tell you were getting shot, all you heard is a slight buzz and maybe a bit of red shown around the sides.

Bland maps, all play like a mixture of Karachi and Rundown from MW2. And before people start calling me a CoD fanboy or saying I don't know jack about Halo, the first Halo I played was CE, and I played the heck out Halo 2.

Basically CE redone for the third time. Not that I'm bagging at CE, but seriously, this isn't CoD we're talking about.

And now why I enjoy Reach MP...

AAs (No I am not an AL noob, theres a difference between ALing over an incoming Ghost, and ALing over an AR)

Bloom, gives gives a more organic feel to the game. Spartans aren't droids you know.

Useful vehicles. The brute chopper was just dreadful.

Weapons actually look and sound like they can cause some damage, instead of handling like Airsoft guns.

Fun gametypes, E.G. Invasion & Dino Blasters.

Epic Forge & Forge world.

You can actually notice you're getting shot.

And now for the flaming. *hides inside nuclear bunker*

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

You like bloom? Wow.

S.A.A.

SAAKILLER is pronounced: S.A.A.KILLER

I agree with everything except the maps part. And that they could bump up the AR. I liked H3 maps a lot better. I'm talking about the BTB maps: (sandtrap, valhalla, standoff) As for bloom, I'd rather have them reduce it to 85% and reduce aim assist to H3 aim assist.

No.

Reach feels way more clunky than H3.

Linear? Talking about single player here? Who cares?

Weapons weak with little variety? Since when did gun variety and weapon sounds make a good game?

You couldn't tell you were getting shot, all you heard is a slight buzz and maybe a bit of red shown around the sides. So did you kill off all the nerves in your hand s or something?

Bland maps? You must be trolling. Have you seen forge world? At least the maps in H3 could support good competitive gameplay.

CE redone for the third time? Yeah I guess. However bungie did claim Reach was more like CE before launch.

AAs break every map and slow down gameplay slow much aka making it slow in heated firefights. Idk what you're smoking.

Organic feel to the game? I'm sorry what? Is this your way of saying it is more realistic? If you play halo for realism gtfo.

Useful vehicles. Wat. They blow up extremely fast. The brute chopper was amazing too if you knew how to use it.

Weapon sound, k....

Fun gametypes, E.G. Invasion & Dino Blasters.You must be trolling.

Forge? Ok.

Noticing you are getting shot? You could notice in H3 if you weren't retarded.

CONCLUSION

OP MUST BE TROLLIN

Nope, deadly serious. Also, not everyone plays with vibration on. Most people I know leave it off, as it wastes battery and shakes the battery pack out of place quite commonly.

Late reply, I know.

Weapon variety and sounds don't make a good game, but without them I find games pretty boring, which is why I hate Black Ops with all my heart.

By organic I mean flow more smoothly. If I wanted realism I'd play Battlefield.

How sprint, evade and jetpack slow down gameplay is beyond me.

Vehicles explode more often in Reach because Reach weapons are more powerful.

CONCLUSION

LEGITIMATE REASONS

=P Sorry, couldn't resist.

How big is your Bunker? o.-.ô

About the size of Castle Base on Reach. If you haven't read Halo: First Strike you probably won't get it.

Is it Big enough to accommodate a 30ft Anthro Dragon?

Weapon variety/Sound k whatever.

Flow more smoothly. When you play complete tryhards this untrue. Maps like Swordbase turn into campfests and AL/Invis screw it up pretty bad too. However when playing people that don't know what they are doing it isn't that bad.

Sprint and evade are the only two starting armor abilities that are OK, I'm not saying that they are great but ok. Many times they are used for the sole purpose of running away from a firefight though they are still pretty annoying. Jetpack ruins map control though so I can't stand it. You work to get control of the top of the map and then the guy just spawns and jetpacks right up.

Whatever it is it doesn't change the fact that most vehicles are pretty useless now.

Yes, it is. It can also fit a Covenant armada in it.
