I graduated from high school on June-11-2011. I'm 19 right now. I'm turning 20 in December. I like playing video games, and board games. I like reading Sci-Fi, and World War II novels, and what not.

It's fun at times.
But it's a disaster for a Halo game. If you stated from the start. 2001.

The 343 forums suck. They're full of retarded kids and mods who got butthurt in the B.net forums for being told that they're bad.

Good game? Yes.


Yeah, technically it's a pretty good game. But for Halo standards, it blows ass-burgers.

  • 12.18.2011 2:49 PM PDT

For me, yes. Second favorite Halo game. But definitely needs less killzones. Hate those damn things...

I was debating whether or not to include a comparison to Halo in my post. I think players who start with Reach first have the most fun in this game, as they don't have to worry about comparing it to previous titles since they haven't played it.

With that said, that doesn't mean Reach is flawless by its own standards. The contradictions still exist whether or not it's compared to Halo as a franchise.

Nope. SouthPole isn't a person. He's the avatar of the force of tryhards everywhere. He stalks the web looking for retards to set straight. He can not be stopped by mere bans or thread locks for he shall rise anew.

No it's not. Not only is it a dumb downed Halo game made for bad kids, but aside from that it's poorly designed and is inexcusable for a company that has been making games for such a long time.

I bet they do. They think they're unstoppable, little do they know that with the help of armor lock and a good positioned pelican I can break free of the wretched things.

Reach is a good game but it's not a good Halo game. If that makes sense.

you know if they added a ranking system from the beginning and kept the TU settings/zero bloom from the start, default reach and especially MLG reach would have probably been the best competitive gaming experience of 2010-2011.

would've kicked the crap out of the bar halo 3 set for sure.

I agree with this. Overall the game was sloppily made, although it's still decent. But if it first came out like it is NOW, whole nother story.

Halo 3 still has those perfect nades and the fact that every playlist didn't either have retarded settings or greyass maps.

Even still, we shouldn't need a complete overhaul just to compete with a four year old game.

the halo 3 grenades were just easier to throw and were just as annoying as the ones in reach, halo reach's nades just seem overpowered due to the fact that you move like a brick.

But In all honesty nades are not as big of a problem as they're made out to be.

i agree with you there halo 3s setting were much better then reach's.

meh i like the gray over colorful maps, the colorful maps just get me distracted and they hurt my eyes.
