Subject: I love Halo Reach

We all do right? Why are people still complaining about this game over a year after it was released? I've played every Halo for some considerable amount of time and Reach has the most fun gameplay.

In an age where Call Of Duty rules the live charts I'm actually proud to be a Halo player. We are an elite group who enjoy depth, balance and a fictional world no other game can compete with.

I can only assume those who come on here who dislike the game have too much time on their hands. Complaints will not be dealt with here and surely people can't be STILL butthurt about Reachs 'problems'.

Reach is the best multiplayer experience out there at the moment. Stop the nostalgic based hate, Reach IS a good game. You don't need a pixelated number next to your name to enjoy Halo.

Everyone ignoring your bungie praise - so sad.

But lets start with "balance".
How can you claim that if it take just one single player to quit to ruin the gameplay (enough for bungie to introduce a ban).

You can't use that as the basis for an argument, as that is present in EVERY game. It's a congruent variable, and as such should be discounted when comparing.

The Jammie One

id say reach is good but its not the best multiplayer experience out there. There are so much better multiplayer games out there. Also Balance is an issue in Reach for example who makes one team have a sniper which can one shot (UNSC) and have the other team (Elites) a sniper which has limited range and its not one shot, Also the covenant only have 1 headshot weapon (NR) which the UNSC have 3 (DMR,SR,Magnum) it is really just stupid. Actually pretty much every UNSC weapon is better than the Covenant and most of the vehicles to

I don't play other multiplayer because of dumb little things the others implement that bother. Like for example you have to hold 2 triggers just to fire your weapon accurately in MW3... lame. Anyway I Love Reach... I believe it to be the best multiplayer experience as well.

No, I dont love Reach. I play it because its easier to find a match but Halo 3 was the far better multiplayer experience for me at least. Reach just aint my cup of vodka.

Reality is broken.

Also, you're not your stats.

I love da poosy.

  • 01.18.2012 7:35 AM PDT

Walk by faith. Dude. Not by sight.

I like Reach a lot also. Best MM experience anywhere, but the ranking system was better in H3.

Really? I'm curious, how did you find Halo 3 to be a better experience?

I recently started playing some Halo 3 again after playing mostly Reach, and it drives me insane. My biggest obstacle is the BR, but I'm not going to start that argument. I love Reach because it just seems fairly balanced, at least more so than Halo 3. There are actual counterparts to many weapons, and every weapon has its advantages and disadvantages. I can't really explain it; the gameplay just feels more solid and consistent.

And the credit system actually keeps you playing since you make progress to a new rank no matter what, instead of wasting time in Halo 3 because you lost a match.

"in EVERY game" ?!?
So EVERY game has a purpose built system to COMPLETELY STOP YOU from playing if you quit games?
WRONG - only in reach. And only because a player leaving breaks the game.

Lets look at the top 3 placed titles. It is actually rare to run a full game with an exact number of players on both sides. The match starts with with mixed numbers, people drop in/out all the time. With COD/BF3/GOW you dont even notice (possible exception being an objective based match). The designers of other games add elements to the game to address this.

reach is more like a fifa or nfl game in online play.
And yet the players seldom work as a team (again game design)

Its funny cause so many of the people hating on Halo Reach either hate it cause 1. They suck at it and dont have the skill to deal with the noobs that plague every Halo game. 2. They hate the story. 3. They dont like it because its o different from other Halos.
They should really appreciate it because thats the last Halo game that Bungie is ever going to give to us and they put a lot of effort into it.

Too bad they messed up things that were just fine in the old games, for no reason.

  • 01.18.2012 9:27 PM PDT

I'm here to have fun and win some games. Best part about Halo is easily the crazy custom games infection shenanigans that go on. If anyone wants to do some of these just hit me up on Xbox live.

Same here, I can't play at all.

I agree that Reach is a great game, but the "best" is surely a matter of opinion. Sequels tend to make the "best" game obsolete just from a matter of hype and expectations for the next one in the series. Ex: Call of Duty (PS: COD4 is still the best in that series)

I personally like Battlefield 3, Halo: Reach, Halo Wars, and Monday Night Combat right now because it's a good variety of gameplay.

Apologies, I misunderstood your point. I thought you were talking about how one player leaving creates an imbalance, i.e. one team has an advantage. I guess it comes under the same topic though.

Fairness is only possible within the limited powers of man. Elsewhere, there is only chance.
