ALL BELOW IS IMHO as a Halo 3 player from 9/25/2007-present day:
(Also note that I have better stats in Reach. I am better at Reach but do not like it nearly as much)
ARMOR ABILITIES:
-Armor abilities created a lack of need to fight over advantages, and instead just gave them to the player.
-Armor lock slows down gameplay to a crawl, regenerates shields for a second after you stand up, but you are still invincible.
-Camo... used to be a pickup like overshield. Need I explain why spawning with it is OP?
-Jetpack: EVEN SOUNDS LIKE A DUMB IDEA. What are you, 4 years old? Jetpacks?
LACK OF "HALO" FEEL:
-Looking around in Reach has a more sluggish feel due to an excess of "momentum" in the aiming system
-Lack of visible trueskill system destroys motivation to play competetively.
-Lower jump height and movement speed eliminates the feeling that you are a SUPER SOLDIER.
Personal Issues that don't really matter that much:
-Cr system cheapens the armor and ranking system. Remember when having a katana or being a general MEANT anything?
-New jump height almost eliminates ability to "ninja" assassinate people.
-Medals like Reload This, Headshot, Pull, Firebird, Assist etc... cheapen and clutter medal system.
Opinions? Responses?
you know its funny. nearly everything you quoted is actually an advantage of reach. Of course you naturally had to give it all a negative review. if you like halo 3 so much go back there. we wont miss you. wait for halo 4. there is nothing wrong with reach (apart from the abysmal matchmaking system and countless bugs and glitches). you just need to accept it is a different type of game. and stop trying to change it.
