A competitive players main goal is to win.
A casuals main goal is to have fun regardless of whether that results in a win or loss.
It has nothing to do with individual skill or knowledge, it has to do with the reason you play.

Better games means that Reach wasn't good enough.

I find Reach better than some games out nowadays. And a lot more enjoyable.


LOL ... yeah but a few million people find a LOT of other games far better than reach ... even some release a year before reach.

And given how far bungie got up themselves as to how great they were and how mind blowing this game would be ...

The game slogan says it all ... "falls 2010".
bungie and the game sure did - the only words of truth to come out of bungies butt in a long time.

See only a child would make the "Falls (with a capital F) 2010" joke. And it's Bungie with a capital 'B.'

Name one good game that is better than Reach, out of curiosity.

Fhtagn

It looks like you believe popularity means the game is good.
There is no word to express how wrong you are.

It's a bad game and is not enjoyable to play. Plain and simple.


I don't know about all that. I think it's fun to play but is not nearly as addicting as Halo 2 or 3.
Yeah I agree

who gives a -blam!- if its low its not like its so low its unplayable.


Playing on red, orange or yellow bar connection is unplayable.

These games you mentioned have nothing to do with the population tanking a couple weeks after its release. Stop making excuses for why Reach failed. It's due to the failed changes that were made and a lack of ranked playlists plain and simple.

Just do what I do when I have a problem... SCREAM!

The Banhammer hurts less and less w/ each crushing blow.

Shared by many of the population :(

In terms of competitive merit, it's better than H3 on the right settings, but that's not saying much. In terms of "fun" it's about even with H3 and not even close to touching H2 or CE imo.

In all honestly, the people who claim that Reach is "really fun" and "takes skill" have never played a good console FPS.

Halo 2, CE
Team Fortress 2
Counter Strike source
Quake Live
Starcraft I and II (you didn't say fps)
etc

And those are just games that are considered better competitively and casually.

There's a whole slew that are better for the casual player.

Changes and Ranked has nothing to do with it, check out all the other games that has Ranked gametypes so few play ranked. What gamers want these days are the ability to play what they want when they want aka player/public matches. This means we join and leave mid games and dont get stupid 10 min ban for it, but for obvious reasons this dose not apply for ranked gametypes.
I so hope Halo 4 has player/public matches for the social part and not this -blam!- old matchmaking crap that dosent even work.

What I love is that people say Reach is bad and unplayable competitively, but what IS a better game out there right now? Call of Duty? Battlefield 3? Gears 3? Those don't strike me as any better games at all.

Out of all the multiplayer games out there on the 360, Reach is still the best competitively as far as I've seen.

Agree, other games on the market are just a pure casual gameplay fest 24/7.

lol ... did you check out your own tag.
"WsP POP TART" ... guess you luv those old capitals.

"joke. And it's" ... guessing you missed the class about starting a sentence with conjunctions. Guessing you have no better defense?

Name one game ... too difficult a choice, far too many to pick just the one. Lets go look online though and see if reach (or bungie) make it into any "best game" lists?
Nope - none ... unless you care to provide a link?

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz what? Sorry I lost interest hours ago

In soviet B.net you don't delete the flood, the flood deletes you.

If the following has ever happened to you on the flood: been butthurt, offended, angry from someone's post, feel like Nerd Raging . . . you have the right to SHUT UP

Also, if you play Reach this is YOU

Every game that has ever come out this past year is better than Reach.

Except Brink, thats the one exception. Reach barely beat Brink. But everything else is much much better.

It's not an opinion when the majority all feel the same. Not quiet a LAW more of a theory but still game is still one of the worst Halo games todate.


yes because the majority thought the world was flat too idiot.

Goat was famous. Irie was infamous. Gh0st was FaMaS.

My stats in Halol 4

Typical Waypoint post.
no it's "its got to go" you wouldn't say the "it is got to go" would you?

Maybe Reach just flat out sucks.

You people are STILL going? I vanish for 5 months, and when I come back, people are STILL saying Reach is dying. I guess the static numbers haven't breached your sickly little bubbles yet. And I'm bored now. Good job.
