Because its fun.

The game doesn't have to be brand-freaking new to be fun.

Jesus Christ, the stupidity of some people.

That's pretty much answered your post.

Not sure if trolling, or just REALLY stupid.

reach is old
So a game that has been out for 1.5 years is considered old now?

Reach is still fun to a lot of people. Old is subjective.

Welcome to the internet. Joy dies here.

I still have just as much fun as I did in the Beta, be it in Vanilla, TU, or Anniversary. Might not be the most competitive Halo title, but I'm not the most competitive gamer, nor are the randies that comprise my 'team' competitive in any way.

I think that's what I like most about Reach - it accommodates the matchmaking environment better than any other Halo title. Even when the population gets low and team balance goes out the window, the 'randomness' of the various mechanics smooths things out. I still have good games and terrible games, but imo they're more fun even when they're terrible than they would have been if I had played them on Halo 3.

(Not to say that some games wouldn't be better on Halo 3 - just not a lot of games you find via the MM system)

Lol

I play because I don't like any other modern FPS shooter that is currently out. That said, most of the time I play RPG's now and starting to get back into the RTS Starcraft II.

Ooh, I love those people, the ones who decide to throw everything and the kitchen sink at you, as if an M16 does anything to a T-90. Oh, MLG player with noobtube instead? Congrats! You blew off one of my ablative plates!

Gun, meet Bad Guy.
Bad Guy, this is Gun.

Because it's a game made to entertain people.

If you think it's strange that people still play Reach, think of Halo CE(not CEA).

People still play that, because they like it, simple as that.

I can't tell either.

But, point being, I can't see how a 1 and a half year old game is considered old.

Let me ask you something OP. Do you think CoD Black Ops is old? Or do you consider that to still be new?
