What abnormal stuff do you experience?

First thing I had to do is get used to the IMMENSE MOON JUMPING and the fire-rate of the Covenant Carbine. I expected the Covenant Carbine's fire rate to be capped to the Reach's DMR rate of fire until I found out it fired just as fast as Reach's Magnums. From then I on I was getting double kills galore, and won with the final kill, lol.

98% of the people who play this game are garbage. If you're one of the 2% who isn't, copy & paste this into your signature.

I never forget H3. Reach can't take that away from me.

When I come back, everything is as it should be: vastly superior to Reach despite being easier.

I noticed that the BR was the best weapon to ever grace a shooter.....but I already knew that.

I run Skirmish!!!

after playing my mere less than 50 games of reach matchmaking, i would come back to halo 3 and realize how much of a -blam!- game reach is... it lacks everything halo 2 and halo 3 had, competitive ranks, gameplay, weapons etc.
to say you reached the 40's in halo 2 and a 45+ in halo 3 is an accomplishment, there is no rank in reach comparable..
inheritor? lol a joke,i ranked up to a brig by just playing firefight and no MM. lol
not to mention, the BR is like heaven compared to the stupid DMR

Honor for the Sangheili

I noticed I could play as an Elite during normal play. Tears of joy were cried.

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

~Long Live Halo 2
Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

I play more Halo 3 now, only time I've played Reach over the past week and change was because my cousin wanted to.

Forget the H3 pistol thats what the BR is for.

H3 really isn't easier though. Thats the beauty of the game. It's simpler to get into, with less button presses - yet there is far more skill and depth to the game.

H3 just feels so responsive and explosive - yet so smooth - in comparison to Reach. I am talking motion and weapons here.

I play games for gameplay, not silly gimmicks

H3 MM warrior

Reach S7, 8 and 9 arena warrior.

H4 MM legend

The only thing that shocked me was the heightened skill gap, the vast social tryhard retards, and the fact that some kids still take this game super seriously.

The overall gameplay is as expected 100x better, though I can't hit anyone with rockets anymore. Oh and social nerds still try to challenge you to play them in MLG after you make their team drop a combined -100 in mythic lol

Of course kids are going to take this game seriously. It is far more competitive than reach.

Especially considering that when H4 comes out (if they return to classic Halo gameplay) - the skilled players that have stayed with H3 since the beginning/H2's death will SMASH those who have gone to reach.

Meags I stomped you in slayer/dubs/mlg/btb before Reach just imagine what I will do to you now and after.

Lol. Practice up.

This. Although I wouldn't call it easier. H3 is way more competitive imo.

I had to get used to the controls. Melee is back to being B, reloading and switching weapons is RB instead of X, X uses equipment (just finished Legendary a couple weeks ago and I don't know how many times I used my equipment by accident). On top of that I'm going back and playing Halo:CE and Halo 2 on Legendary so then I don't have LB and RB to think about.

You are now reading my signature, the following proceeds as the amazing group i am in and the best person in Bungie.net who i am not stalking at al... >.>

The Reach Asset

Xhavalor is amazing <3

I noticed that it is never going to be the same as it was. I should stop trying to play it for nostalgia purposes and start playing new games until Halo 4.

I noticed that my BR aim has slipped a lot.

I noticed that my Carbine aim has vastly improved. No idea how, I guess it's because the Carbine is closer to the DMR.

I noticed that it wasn't AA's that were the problem in Reach, it was the fact that they were provided with loadouts.

I noticed that I miss Halo 2 :(

Ah, I was referring to the campaign. If I played matchmaking, I would be dominated. Unless of course, I had access to certain things like the Banshee and gravity lifts...

Hanger one I just shredded with the SMGs until ammo was out and I just threw 'nades like a boss while BRing.

My experience playing Cairo Station on Legendary

i think the only really good thing about Reach is the forge, but that is about all compared with H3...

  • 12.24.2011 2:06 PM PDT

I am a player who played over 13,000 games of halo 3. I tried to really play and get into reach but just couldn't.

There is just so much reach took away from the core gameplay. To the inaccurate weapons(immensely frustrating) to running and flying around.

If you look at the COD games they are always successful due to the core gameplay. They add new stuff and some if it is very tired, but the tried and true gameplay is still there.

Reach is not about gunplay. Reach is about flying and running around like morons. I pretty much hate every added aspect of reach. AA's in loadouts, Bloom is the worst thing they could of done to any weapon except maybe the sniper and rockets.

I think Bungie laid a egg with Reach. They made reach more like ODST. Which was a huge mistake.

I am waiting for Halo 4 and have said goodbye to H3. I am glad people like reach and that it was succesfull. But all in all Bungie catered to the causal crowd and listened to the little kids on the forums and made the worst game in the franchise their last.

Talk about a swan song.
