Can someone please inform me why people strongly dislike this game? I personally find it fun, however, I see so many complaints about this game. Do people just not like the change from Halo 3?

GrownPrism is NOT my gt. Happened when signing into my xbox live account. My real gt is here:

http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/Default.aspx?player=SYNTHES lS&sg=0

- Armor abilities
- Bad campaign
- Bloom
- Bad maps
- Grenades are over powered
- Lack of Ranking system aside from Arena which is a joke
- Vehicles are madeout of paper

Just a few reasons

Because every previous iteration was better than Reach.

Compared to previous Halo games it's not a good game, it's not "halo" to them. You seem to be a casual gamer and is why you probably think it's fun, you only have 139 games played in H3 and probably don't understand how a real Halo game should be. It's a good game but not a good halo game.

Edit: I see you've unlinked your GT.

I personally love Reach. But It just doesn't have that Classic Halo feel.

This. Also, keep in mind that those that enjoy this game don't really have a reason to come on these forums and talk good about it. This, of course, leaves the small minority who have a problem with it to come on here a shout louder than anyone else.

Find it unique but it isn't as good as previous games and like people say it is built for 12yr old kids. I still enjoy it somewhat though

  • 02.05.2012 9:56 AM PDT

Today is a good day to be a Spartan

Since you're new to Reach, as you play more, something other than Grifball, you'll begin to see what, and why all of the dislike for this game that catered to the casual 12 yr old.

It's good, but it doesn't feel like Halo.

AL is not built for casuals, AL is a flat-out retarded mechanic that infuriates players from every level.

Do people just not like the change from Halo 3?


Yes...people fear change. Just wait for Halo 4 and fans will be saying how much better Reach was.

-Absence of Master Chief


You do realize he's asking why the game is bad, right? Not better?

  • 02.05.2012 10:20 AM PDT

the gun pointed at the head of the universe

I like the DMR better than the BR, and last time I played 3 I was horrified at how useless the pistol was. But I'm just a sucker for a scoped pistol. Aesthetically Reach reminds me of CE in a lot of ways.

  • 02.05.2012 10:21 AM PDT

There are many problems with Reach but at the same time, I can't hate on Bungie. They gave us the Halo universe. But with Reach, they took a step backward by literally going backward. They should never have done a prequel to CE. The reason is because we all were watching Master Chief and technology advance to the next Halo. All of the sudden, they got rid of it and took out what so many players loved. There are too many kids that are horrible at Halo and Bungie tried to dumb it down so a very unskilled player can destroy a very skilled player. "Even the playing field" mind you. There's a problem with that. It took out that super competitive feel that the other Halos had. Armor lock, bloom, jet packs, sword blocking, all are horrible ideas made for people that can't straight up win a battle.

Two of the biggest things wrong with Reach are the absence of number ranks and absence of the BR. Those are huge NONO'S. MLG players say the same thing about the BR.
