-Vehicles got upgraded to cardboard status.
-Some weapons got retarded nerfs.

The list goes on and on.

I have no idea, I think a load of people piled into the franchise on Halo 3 never having played the previous ones so complained about Reach not being Halo 3 with a few flashing lights on.

To me reach feels more like a halo game than 3 ever did, I felt Halo 1 was great as was 2 then on 3 I just really didn't like the game compared to the others, I'm trying to force myself to play through the campaign just so I can say I'm done with the halo 3 campaign.

Halo has always been about fun from the campaign to the multilayer, I hated Halo 3 because they caved so much to MLG demands and now on Halo Reach I feel so much better as it seems like a damn fun game and not a super competitive one like Halo 3.


I understand maybe not liking Halo 3...but claiming Reach is mroe like the firt two Halo games than 3 was?

Yeah...no.

Yeah...no.

in spirit and feel I'd say it is much more similar, on reach I find all the stuff fun while on Halo 3 campaign is annoying and match making is full of MLG players in every playlist complaining about people who won't play MLG rules despite the playlist not being MLG.

In addition to the 3 death threats and 2 DDos attacks from people in the Halo 3 community during the time I played it.

might find I've probably got the same play time a more accurate thing would be in halo 3 far less time spent in ranked and far more social match play. But then again you and logical reasoning have always had issues.

If pro is the opposite of con, then the opposite of progress is...

You wanna know why people hate Reach?

Because Bungie listened to the community. The community is full of idiots who know nothing about game design. If Bungie hadn't listened to the community, it'd would have been a much better.

You Barely scratched the surface of any competitive environment in H3 and spent far more time in Social and claim Reach feels more Halo?

I lol.

Halo is about much more than competitive play and pandering to the people who want to feel so 1337.

I never understood why people hate Reach either because you can't get similar gameplay from any other game out there.

Most people just switched to CoD which has laggier gameplay, less accurate guns, battles which are resolved in a shot or two at all times, and perks/killstreaks.

I like Reach a lot myself. If you like the other Halos and would like to try it with a new twist, I'd give it a shot. I believe there's a demo out there to download, so see what you think.

yeh idiots tend to fall for games that tell them how great they are all the time rather than offering them any chance to learn different tricks and ways to use stuff.

halo is all i play oh

The reason people tend to hate Reach is because it tries too hard to be a game it's not.

Many of the maps are based on ease of use, frag grenades are spammed more often than not, armor abilities encourage escaping death rather than dealing it, the Rank system is just based on how long you play, and it just basically tries to be a friendly game.

I loved the campaign, I still enjoy good custom games with maps made through forge, and I also love the classic anniversary playlist. But if you're looking for reasons as to why people would hate it, it's because in most cases, kills are not based on skill anymore.

I personally do enjoy the game though, just be careful which playlist you choose.

Give me an iffy time based rank system any day over the true skill system of halo 3 plagues with 2nd 3rd 4th and 99th accounters bypassing the system. Also I don't think frag grenades are really any more or less powerful.
