because you only look at the negatives in Reach's gameplay. want some negatives in H3"s gameplay?
You jumped way too high and all anyone did was jump while shooting like a -blam!- kangaroo.
No bloom was unrealistic and made no-scoping super easy and not something to be proud of.
the game relyed on either melee or power-weapons. it was a huge moshpit
the vehicles were overpowered
the veto system sucked ass
movements looked unrealistic, like the player was speed- moonwalking forward
the ranking up system was based on teams winning (unless you were playing free-for-all)
and more

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.

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

To be honest, I only found one valid point in that full post. And that was the veto system in Reach is better.

Love playing custom games?

Well come join Customs Evolved

We are group dedicated to playing custom games, map testing, game nights, etc. Anyone is welcomed to join, and we hope to have as much fun as possible!

I find that Halo 3 is a much faster paced game than Halo Reach. Also, what made Halo 3 so much fun, were the vehicles. In Halo 3, vehicles were long lasting and they put up quite a fight. But in Reach, if you get into a warthog, you will probably die in less than 5 minutes from DMR's, same with the Banshee.

Vehicles need to be like they were in Halo 3.

Yes. a foot soldier shouldn't be able to blow up a Warthog or a Banshee with his spawning weapon.

Exactly, and Banshees should not be able to lock onto vehicles, it gives too many easy kills. They made the Banshee to maneuverable but easy to kill. I wish they would just balance it like it was in Halo 3.

I liked the Halo 3 Banshee, the bomb could knock out shields/flip a vehicle, but it didn't massacre whatever it hit and you would have to finish the job with plasma cannons. In Reach you can literally just bomb and flip over and over again.
That and the bomb wasn't lock on, you had to lead your target with the bomb instead of just wait for the lock on.

Halo 3 Banshee gameplay, notice how he uses his plasma cannons for lone targets, and boosts while scanning the battlefield for targets, while he uses his bomb to knock out the shields of groups of players and send vehicles flying, and then finishes them up with plasma cannons. He does make some risky moves for splatters however.

Halo:Reach Banshee gameplay] Notice how he switches to the bomb instantly, and never fires a shot from the plasma cannons. He just bombs and flies away. He gets hijacked trying to get splatters and barely manages to get it back. He spawn kills several Elites. Not an ounce of skill.

I intend to live forever, or die trying,

so far, so good.

RECAH is still lots of fun.

But most games I play, you either spawn trap the team, or they spawn trap you.

This was rare in Halo 3, so I guess the games were more of a chalange.

That's funny because you just named everything that Halo 3 did right.

Mostly because there is no incentive to win - other than MLG practices.

It pairs me up with 1 good kid and 2 idiots. Back in the day I got 2 or 3 good kids with an average one to back pack. Additionally I cared more so I would not lose my rank, something that was fun to rank up with.

Armor lock and bloom were really the big killers though imo.

Because Armor abilities. Spawning with camo is absolute bull~-blam!-. I preferred when only 1 person could be invisible.

I don't know if it was more fun but it was more addictive for me. I tried harder to win just so I could see a virtual number get higher. I would get done playing a match and say "ok just one more"

  • 02.27.2012 8:45 PM PDT

It's all about your opinion. Duh...

Reach is much slower paced than Halo 3 and the Halo 3 maps are better.

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

I don't like armor lock.

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


What a dumb post.


Well...

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

Personal opinions are fails? Great sense of logic there.

Probably, because Reach is not a true Halo game. And, Bungie never intended it to be. But, maybe it will become that in the coming months...or Halo 3 will get its community back! :D

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

Spit rounds like the gun range,
Beat it up like Rampage!

Offical Stats

the community is -blam-...only weird strangers and campers all over the map...HALO 3 maps got build with love and magic. the community had fun there and stuff like that. :-( sad..
