I'm not stopping you from playing Halo 3.

I'm only saying you shouldn't overly bash Reach and turn your back on it.

Play the BS free playlists when you want, and play Halo 3 when you want.

It shouldn't be only one good playlist though. It should be every playlist. Every playlists should be able to provide an enjoyable experience.

MLG, Squad, Objective, Doubles now, and the Anniv playlists.

Don't overexaggerate.


Reach-
MLG, dubs, squad

The only ones I can actually play, and maybe have fun in.

H3-
TS, TD, TSN, MLG, Mythic, BTB, Skirmish.

And 4 of those are ranked, where reachs only ranked playlist is beyond broken.

Anniversary btb has those crap vehicles I mentioned earlier and all except Classic have Armor Lock, Camo and Jetpack.

The lolReach nades are in all of them and you only get a Movement speed boost in two of those playlists.

Digging Foxholes by Profession

People keep comparing the game to Halo 3 and getting upset about it.
Try comparing it to Halo: CE. That's what it's supposed to be more like.

Hi.

People still play Reach?

Frank O'Connor said he doesn't think the Halo series needs to be taken in a radical new direction... it just needs to go "deeper"

"Ultimately the core game mechanic and strength of the universe doesn't need to be changed, it just needs to be taken deeper. We want to make Halo games - we don't want to make Call of Duty or Ridge Racer. We want to make Halo games because we understand what's special about Halo."

There are only 2 good playlists in Reach, but in Halo 3 all of them are good.

Okay then

Reach compared to Halo CE

Kills are much slower
Shields recharge much slower
grenades are easier to get kills with
Bullets from main Mid range weapon are not accurate when firing fast.
Ar cannot get kills with only bullets
Maps are crap
Weapons won't respawn as long as you are holding the empty weapon on your back
Has AAs
Vehicles can be killed
Ghost can't get kills.
Does not have plasma stun
Plasma Pistol charge can disable vehicles
Banshee bomb is an instant kill
Has vehicle boarding
Can't sit on a Scorpion tanks treads.

Those were all off the top of my head.

Halo CE wins.

irritating, but I have enough wins in everything that they are locked as 50s, except doubles.... People cheat a lot in doubles.

Idc though, its 2012, and caring about winning/losing on H3 in 2012 is stupid.

I've only run into cheaters while searching in a team with Meags. Otherwise, searching 2s has been cheat free, and now that I'm in the 47s, derankers are pretty rare.

So I'll never overcome the derankers then?

You forgot the most important thing OP.

Halo 3 is more fun than reach too.

Even customs in Halo 3 are more fun. Its hard to explain, but they're just more addicting than in Reach. A week or so ago, me and my friends played the hell out of Halo 3 customs, Make the Jamp, Cops and Robbers, Monster Trucks, Jenga, Zombies, it was awesome. Going back and playing Halo 3 reaffirmed my belief that it is superior to Reach.

In the end, bungie made reach not intending to have ranked, zero bloom, solid strafing, and bleedthrough x(. I dont even think they play halo enough to notice the balancing issues that players find out about AFTER the game shipped. Who knew during the halo reach beta that strafing, bloom, jetpack and AL were going to be detrimental heavy hitters to halo gameplay along with their effects on maps? I sure didnt and Im sure people like Goat did not know either or you meags x).

A connection that only allows you to play a single game before taking a 45 minute time out can skew your views of a game.

It isn't, "Is this fun?", it's, "Will this game go on too long and have me lag out before it's over?"

It stopped doing that around two months after Reach was released.

I said this story while we were in the lobby last night.
