Subject: Question to all people that say Halo Reach is bad and H3 is better

Have you played one game in Halo 3 in the past year? One word.




Mexihost.


Played a couple of games of Team Slayer in Halo 3 a while back. Managed to win somehow, but yeah...terribad Mexihost everywhere.

Ohai, I'm Loscocco (pronounced Loss-cocoa). I'm a college student (computer science major), 3D animator, and long-time Halo player.

Yeah, mainly because no one else plays and it is run by foreign hosts.

Playlists that I found fun, like BTB, etc..., are impossible to find games in. So if you want to play Halo 3, you can play a small handful of ranked playlists. Also, I don't particularly say "Reach is bad" (especially after Anniversary) but I just preferred Halo 3.

Halo 3 lags hard.

LOL @ Goldenskull95, posting about host. He wouldn't know who had host if it hit him in the face..

Try playing TS at a HS of 45+ then you will know about the dreaded aussie host!

The Internet is an empowerment tool that's agnostic; it doesn't care about race, gender, or age.

Halo 3 is impossible to play now since foreign host runs that game. It's either deal with Reach and continue playing or simply leave the series for other games.


Why do people who are bad use host as a scapegoat? non of you are running 50 high, so please stop it.

Name's John. I'm a 21-year-old firefighter/EMT from lolhio who doubles as a die-hard Halo fan. I've been enjoying the franchise since 2001. My favorite iteration of Halo would have to be Halo 2 simply because I never got to experience the joy of a full-on Halo: CE LAN.


If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Oh yeah, and boot Zome.

The forum is just a very vocal minority. If the majority of Halo fans liked 3 more, it would have a higher population. It's that simple. Of people who enjoy Halo, the majority would rather play Reach.


Which, at least for me, is due to the dominance of foreign hosts in Halo 3. I went back and played 3 online not too long ago, and out of ten games maybe three weren't laggy as hell. If more people with good connections would play 3, I'd be playing 3 instead of lolreach.

Just for the record, I hated Halo 3 for the most part. At least, until Reach. If Reach can make me look fondly back at a game I used to despise, then yeah, I'm pretty sure Reach is bad. Reach being bad is even supported by the population numbers.

To warp a quote most say nowadays: lolHalo3

That game only seems laggy now because people are used to Reach. It has ALWAYS been laggy. Shots get dropped, people teleport, etc. The fewer people just make it stand out slightly more, but it was always a laggy game. It was also always terrible. The BR has a large reticle which shots spread uncontrollably in, the Carbine is useless because its shots go OUT of the reticle regularly, and even if you do have good aim, your shots can just not count anyway since they are objects in the game world themselves and can easily get lost in data transition.

Give me Reach any day.

Yeah, 3's netcode certainly didn't turn any heads. I never remembered it being this bad, though.

I miss Halo 2 :(

Halo 2 is better than both Reach and Halo 3.

I expect Halo 3 to be taken off XBL within the next year once Halo 4 makes it's arrival.

Shoryuken!

Mythic Mode Progress on Reach:
Winter Contingency, perfection.
Other levels in progress.

H3 is a 5 years old game, and in most of these years the population was huge.
Reach is barely one year old and its population is almost as low as H3's one.


lolReach
