Good compared to most games out on the market.

Horrible compared to previously set standards in the series.


It's a prequel! How did anybody expect anything else? I'm pretty sure that Star Wars proved there can be no such thing as a prequel that's as good as it's chronologically precedent titles.

Has there ever been a prequel to something that was an improvement? Ever? If so, I missed it.

People want an apology, even though they still play the game after a whole year. If you're here and still playing for that long you must enjoy the game somewhat.
Because posting on the Reach forums = playing Reach, right?

I haven't played Reach in months, aside from like 2 games of anniversary, which was undoubtedly tainted and destroyed by Reach.

Then what is the point posting and complaining for a game that you haven't played in months?

It's understandable if you dislike the game. Understandable for discussing your dislike toward it. But after letting Reach go for such a long period of time, you still come here to complain? Your wearing your keyboard away for no reason.

If they want me to buy their next game, hell yeah I want a public apology.

Y'know, personally, when I stopped playing Borderlands, I stopped posting on the forum too. I didn't randomly show up nine months later and demand an apology for the garbage DLC they released when I left. I just left. I bought new games, and moved on to playing and discussing them. I'm re-posting this to reinforce my point. Listen to the pretty lady.

Says the idiot who basically said you're not smart of you don't think reach is good.
I said that I'm smart enough to realize that despite its flaws it is an excellent game. Because despite flaws, it is still very entertaining. The only way you could NOT find it entertaining is if you're just constantly comparing it to games you liked better. On its own, it is remarkable. Your inability to see this leads me to believe I gave you far too much credit.

You're dumb, and I'm probably older than you.
You're a kid because of how you act, kid, not because of your age.

What a waste of time and effort.

Personally I would say that most Bungie employees probably like Reach and therefore they would not feel the need to apologise, a lot of the gameplay features that you dont enjoy are probably there by design. Personal preferences and all that.

If you find that you are not enjoying Bungie games your best bet is not to buy their future products.



  • 12.05.2011 2:30 PM PDT

I acknowledge my user name is stupid. However, I promise I'm not.

Disclaimer: The latter is a lie.

Bungie don't need to apologize at all for Halo: Reach. It may not live up to it's predecessors, but it is still a good game.

That's cool, but see, I like Halo still - I wish for the future of Halo to be bright, and if you think 343 is only taking feedback from and listening to one small isolated website, you're out of your mind.

Many professions I'm interested in involve typing and doing so quickly and efficiently. What other subject to practice typing about than one you genuinely enjoy?

By presenting a discussion that was fine and civil until people like you joined and started attacking people personally and making back-handed comments? Yeah, that makes total sense. I think it's time for you to leave and come back you really grow up.
First bad comment was on your side, kid. Grow up a bit.

If you want an reach is bad vs a reach is good argument, then start your own thread.I don't. But idiotic threads like this (I get you're being an asshat deliberately, but still I mean... really? This is like 1st grade stuff with this thread. Do you guys even try anymore?) need to be called out for their own stupidity.

Yeah, let's just ignore the previous games and the high standards they set in the gaming industry.

Hell, Superman 64 would be an amazing game if we had nothing to compare it to. If it was the first video game ever people's heads would've exploded.

That is an absolutely awful argument.
Butthurt angry kid is butthurt?

It isn't a matter of standards compared to ''better'' games. It's a matter of you EXCLUSIVELY comparing it to games you like better. As if no other game exists. Open your mind a little bit and maybe you'll be better off for it.

No offense, but by that logic, Brink was a good game and there was nothing wrong with it at all.

Not really, if you are going to try to be like another game, you can expect to be put to a standard of another game.

One of the biggest problems with the forum right here (not you personally, I'm just using your statement):

A game being good =/= it having no problems. A game can have a ton of problems but still be amazing. It's a matter of the rest of the game being fun.

I've never played Brink. But my point was that if you only compare a game to games you like BETTER than it? Then of course you'll say 'oh it sucks!' You need to compare it to MORE games that are on the market at this point. If you don't do that, then saying a game is 'bad' or something? Ridiculous. At best. As I said, I haven't played Brink. But maybe it's just bad compared to just about ALL the 360 games released this year. I don't know. If it is, then maybe call it a bad game.

But if you're only going to compare it to, say, Call of Duty or Halo or some other big title? That's when I have a problem with people calling it 'bad.'

Edit: Good timing. This post I just made means I don't have to reply to the kid above me anyways, since he basically just said, 'no u u dum.' Glad I could point out your flaws for you, thread maker.

Everything that was just said


After briefly looking through he's probably trolling.. #justsayin

Halo Reach is great for custom games, I'm not saying it's a bad game all around. ( unless of course we're talking competitively then well it's a joke). All games have some redeeming qualities about them, unless of course those qualities can be found elsewhere in better iterations of the same style of game, ( Brink, a few others).

You can compare it to Call of Duty or Halo, if it's trying to be ''Call of Duty'' or ''Halo''. Games have tried to do that, and fail. For more info, go to Jim Sterling's rant about how Skyrim proves the game industry wrong.

If it is unfair to compare your game to Call of Duty because Call of Duty is better than it, then your game is awful.

Reach was horrible. Reach is becoming very good. Bungie still sucks.

Reach wasn`t a bad game. The only thing i found wrong is that it did not feel like Halo. It felt like a new game in itself which is alright for newcomers and some older fans however i felt that it didnt feel enough like halo. I still play it though.
