Shooters in general just have a low skill cap.


on console yeah, but on PC, ehh i guess it depends on the era that the gamer is more familiar with. Good point though

This thread must have been created for me. I've had mw3 for about a month and bf3 since Christmas and I just played them both for the first time last night.

My Resume
Reach Stats
Halo 3 Stats

"In Halo 3 not all 50's were good players, but all good players were 50's."

Your opinion is invalid.

Default Reach is still good, but not good enough to be a real Halo.

TU Reach is better, but still disappointing.

MLG Reach is my favorite Halo experience so far. They fixed most of Reach's bull crap and made a very competitive and intelligent game.

If a hitscan, semi auto, all range utility weapon (ZB DMR) was the only thing Reach passed on that would still be a win for the series.

Heretic? Me? Never! You must be thinking of Elite-blam!-FTW.

What about the revenant and the customization previously absent?

I hope they don't botch up the Plasma Rifle if they decide to bring it back.

O hai

I switched to BF3. the superior of the games to choose from

op is right.

when mw3 came out i wasnt planning on playing it. i stuck with halo for a while and then for some reason i started playing mw, i use to love halo so much and still do.
hopefully halo 4 will bring me back.
I got this crazy idea. When you play a game for too long. It becomes repetitive and boring. So you wan't to play something different for a while. You know, variety. And then later you'd want to play Halo: Reach again because you then played the other games too much. See what I'm saying?

Black Dawn Mercenaries - Commander

Call of Duty requiring more skill then a Halo game has been the best laugh i have had all week. Call of Duty is easy mode to me and that is simply because with 1 flick of the stick -BAM- 180 degree turn and mow them down. Call Of Duty, really takes very little skill if any.

Now, as far as the halo games i will always prefer Halo CE over the future versions because well, that was the first multiplayer fps i ever played and i still love playing it. But as i said before, call of duty taking skill is a joke.

At least Battlefield 3 has similar "sluggish" movements of Halo, which is something i prefer since i don't have to deal with shooting someone in the back with half a clip and then them doing a complete 180 and shooting me one time with a pistol.

Nothing could be further from the truth...

  • 01.21.2012 2:10 AM PDT

OP..how many people have compared Cod and Halo using a skill based on this forum and lost
Halo - may be bad, but i love it
i am insulted to think cod takes any skill XD

  • 01.21.2012 2:11 AM PDT

can I haz more weapons on halo 4 please? or just add more variety, it would be good to swap accesories of the weaponz

  • 01.21.2012 2:31 AM PDT

One less reachtard is always a good thing to see.
Go! go be bad in cod, nobobdy will miss you.

Cool story bro. You should tell it at parties.

You can pretty much kill anyone with any weapon in CoD. Halo takes more skill.

  • 01.21.2012 6:00 AM PDT

Call me Stu

I switched to skyrim and BF3



I don't regret a single second of it.

Battlefield 3 and Halo are real games; cod is a joke.

Delusions and Grandeur.

CoD takes more skill than Reach? WUT? Okay, I know Reach is bad, but CoD DEFINITELY DOES NOT take more skill. Period. It never has, it never will.

Halo: Reach is the beginning of a new age for gaming.
It proves that developers can get away with punishing their players instead of fixing their game....and yet the fanboys will still sing praises to them.

-blam!- all of you fanboys!

Actually, COD takes more skill.

When you consider how quicly you can die. It requires more skill to stay alive and avoid dying. Knowledge of the map, how the enemy moves. That's a skill.

With Halo, you can make mistakes at every turn and still somehow survive the situation.

With CoD, one little mistake and you're dead.

If CoD took no skill. Why then do some teams completely dominate at objectives during most of their matches?

Because they camp out a killstreak and let the killstreak do all the work for them...that's how.


No but really, remember that mock-up dummy that CoD added. It showed red on the body parts you hit the most.

Skill is spending the time to get nothing but the head lit up, and still keeping a positive K/D ratio. (considering most your competition does a pray and spray at your legs and will win against you and your headshots most the time)

Nuff thing much. I think Halo is awesome:D

Yeah I can agree with you on some points. In my opinion Reach is probably the worst Halo game I've ever played. There are seriously a lot of things that frustrate me when I play. I do think though it takes more skill to play Reach than COD. Looks like I'm going to be playing BF3 until Halo 4 comes out.

CoD takes more skill in the sense of being able to get shot at and live.

However, Halo takes more skill in being able to get a kill.
