Always up for REACH customs!

Why the hell are people voting for anything but Reach? There's a magnitude more great maps, gametypes, and options than in previous games.

Halo reach customs were terrible.

Halo 3. We had custom maps and no Cr system to discourage playing custom games.

Halo: Reach is the beginning of a new age for gaming.
It proves that developers can get away with punishing their players instead of fixing their game....and yet the fanboys will still sing praises to them.

-blam!- all of you fanboys!

Let me give you all an example of what a custom game is.

Me and a cousin of mine took Bloodgulch, darkened it and turned plasma grenades into bright flares that would light up the night. We also boosted the power of the warthogs headlights, speed, gravity, etc..
We turned shotguns into non-lethal pushing weapons.
We increased crouch running speed.
We swapped projectiles on weapons.
We imported new vehicles.
...
...

Tell me....
Which Halo fits that bill?

I'll give you a hint. It did not have access to X-Box Live, thus it was not subject to the iron-grip MS put around modders.

Halo Reach has the best options, but Halo 3 was the most fun.

To answer this, there's a good reason why you would see full lobbies of friends playing Customs on H3 for a good two years while it's pretty uncommon to see that many Custom lobbies on Reach...

Welcome to the internet. Joy dies here.

Reach customs have so much potential, but it seems like the population interested in them has shifted from more serious slayer players to "infection on all of forge world shenanigans" players since Halo 3.

There isn't as much energy put into maps anymore. The serious map designers are throwing aesthetics to the wind because forge world has so many options, other than color, and because anything visually appealing generally brings frame rate to a screeching halt. Everything is gray and blah. Halo 3 had a darker more varied aesthetic and I think that affects the tone of the game.

I found forging on Breakpoint quite nostalgic. Between the somewhat limited but distinctly non-Forge World object list and the variety of aesthetics, Breakpoint and the other Big Team/Invasion maps feel a lot more like Halo to me than Forge World does. I wish more people invested the energy in designing on them.

Halo 2, with Halo 3 being a close second. Getting out of maps and doing other glitches was awesome.

Quantity =/= Quality.

Forge as much as you want, everything in Reach ends up being -blam!- grey.

If you assign every letter of the alphabet a number, a is 1, b is 2, etc., and you take all of the values of the word "MATH", and add them, you get 42. So math is the meaning of life, the universe, and everything.

Halo 3.

Halo 2 customs were borderline boring.

Halo 2 started it all. Halo 3 was the Golden age for maps and gametypes. ODST introduced Firefight. Reach killed it all.

Anywho, mine goes for Halo 3. That's were I first started MM, and never got the chance to do much in Halo 2.

Halo 3 simply because of Forge. The Reach customs aren't the same.
