Subject: Why isn't Reach as fun as Halo 3?

I'm about as slightly above average as you can get.

I have no idea why. Played four player split-screen on Halo 3 recently. It was the most fun I have had playing halo in a long time. There were multi-kills and there was laughter. It's just guests in social slayer, so we pulled of a hide on teletubbies. So how come this never happens in reach?

And even then, it's very indifferent.

Hitscan utility weapon, vehicles are cardboard, no reward for objective, lack of an effective ranking system. My biggest qualms.

RC Clone is the anti-thesis of a lurker.

Because the player fights the game mechanics more than they fight other players.

Why must you constantly post the same threads over and over? Yes to you Reach isn't as fun as 3, to some Reach is funner than 3.

Halo 2 had a hitscan BR and was still more fun than Reach.

I'm not talking about the game itself. Yes, there are many problems, but I don't think that's whats making me think that Halo 3 is more fun. There is something about that I can't place.

Reach isn't as fun because it's funner.

Fail

Because that's your opinion?

Why isn't Halo 3 as fun as Halo 2? Why isn't Halo 2 as fun as Halo CE?

It's the result of dumbing down each new game.

You might have more fun on Halo 3 than on Halo Reach because of some different game mechanics or something, but it just all comes down to what you prefer.

Because we choose to complain instead of making the best out Reach.

Bunch of different reasons.

Physics engine is just bad compared to H3

No trueskill or a ranking system

Getting older and losing interest in video games is probably the biggest reason for me though

I don't like armor lock.

I guess i'll just ask the other team not to use it.


What a dumb post.

Having fun in Custom Games in Halo 3 was undeniably better that what Reach could ever hope for, not that I resent the game. Even Action Sack is a joke of a playlist in Reach, WTF is this Hotshot business?

Nope. SouthPole isn't a person. He's the avatar of the force of tryhards everywhere. He stalks the web looking for retards to set straight. He can not be stopped by mere bans or thread locks for he shall rise anew.

Because Reach is bad in almost every aspect. Netcode being the exception, but that doesn't even matter when everything else is complete -blam!-.

True, howbout maps made to counter the hitscanness of a weapon? Reach is too open for the DMR

The Halo 2 BR had a range limit that stopped it in BTB and the small maps had more cover and players could move faster to that cover.

These combined make it better.
