Halo Reach has problems. Its campaign was AWFUL the firefight maps were not anywhere as good as the ODST maps, NOBLE team (or any SPARTAN IIIs for that matter) were fails! Im not saying I dont like Reach, I do, but it could have been better...

I think they should have stopped after ODST and let 343 prove themselves with Halo 4.

Contracts made them make another game. Too bad.

Reach had a lot of potential.

You can really tell they didn't want to make Reach. Halo 3 was the real send off for the Halo community.

Ohai, I'm Loscocco (pronounced Loss-cocoa). I'm a college student (computer science major), 3D animator, and long-time Halo player.

Reach is a good game, just not a great Halo game IMO. If I had it my way, we would all be playing Halo 3 and 2 right now, though.

I agree. The Halo series would probably be better off right now if they had stopped at ODST.

That is why I want Halo 4. Its should be just like how Halo 3 was to Halo 2, a continuation of actual Halo. Almost as if Halo Reach had never happened.

Same here.

Halo 2 > Halo 3 > Halo 3 ODST > Halo Reach > Halo CE

Based on campaigns.

I enjoy playing Halo Reach and I'm glad Bungie made it

Life is a journey, if you spend all of it with your nose in your map, you may miss some of the best parts.

Yes, definitely.

Banned just for calling someone retarded? lolBnet mods
Duardo = retard

So you think Reach is an actual Halo game, huh? LOL
Jesus! There's a BoB in ma Falcon!

It could have been a LOT better. It was almost as if Bungie wanted Reach to be terribad.

  • 01.30.2012 3:18 PM PDT

unchanged version of reach didnt scratch H2 or H3, but now with the things 343 has done to it, i think it can really stand up to the other halos. but to answer your question, yes, of course they could have done a better job, no game developer has ever made a game they couldnt have improved on.

  • 01.30.2012 3:22 PM PDT

Could they have done better? Of course.

Do I still like the game either way? Yep.

But what about the promises they made to Microsoft and the community?
What happened to 'Honor 'Halo' and the contract'?

Microsoft should have followed their gut instinct, paid bungie out and showed them the door. Removed the chance of bungie attempting to kill off the series and give halo/xbox fans a parting middle finger (and pay homage to a new group of PS3 fans).

Of course they said they would do that. It's not like they would say. We are going to make the worst Halo ever imagined.

Without The Flood, I wouldn't know what an opinion is.

Because asking this question in the Reach forum totally isn't bias...
*Sees results*
Well then.

343 saved reach

  • 01.30.2012 3:38 PM PDT

DMR + Sniper Rifle + Sprint= total demolish

The game was good, and the campaign was still good. Overall it's a good game, however like everything there is always somethings that need tweaking

I thaught that it was an excellent game, however the Armory could have been better(not in customization, that was great), more like halo 3's: you could tell how much skill someone had in campaign or multiplayer from their armor since it was unlocked through achievements.

Yeah, maybe some vidmasters for secret armor again, or perhaps just achievement unlockable armor. but the CQB, UA base Security and Military Police armor kind of did the same because wearing them was like showing off how much gamerscore you have on Halo, but it doesnt show hardtoget achievement skill.

Good point. Halo 3 was their send off imo. And I think Reach was somewhat of an honest attempt. Then again, I doubt it when I look at some aspects of the game.
