Immortality: A toy which people cry for, And on their knees apply for, Dispute, contend and lie for, And if allowed Would be right proud Eternally to die for.

Why isn't Reach as fun as Halo 3?


It is. You're just not willing to let go of the "OMG H3 IS INFALLIBLE!" mentality that is making this community feel like -blam!-.
This. (This is now a hot topic.)

Probably the best summary of Reach gameplay I have ever read.

Halo 3 had it faults, like the bad net coding, but the problems pale in comparison for one main reason: core gameplay. Halo 3's game mechanics are far superior to Reach.

~ Videogames are my favorite videogames ~

Because you're older, it's not the first fresh Next-gen Halo, and you've probably played multiple lifetimes worth of gameplay on different halo games before it.

Because Halo 3 was less broken. It only really needed better maps (and a hitscan BR) to make it better than Halo 2.

Reach is total garbage. I'm proud it failed and died. Hope this message gets to 343 and they make a proper game.

Quit competitive Halo, I have acquired something called "having a life". Play it time to time as of now. Some people should also try this thing called "having a life".

Reach is garbage trash.

More like needed hitscan everything. The netcode in that game was atrocious.

Halo 3 is pretty much Halo 2 with bad maps and no hitscan in the first place.

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

Halo 3's sandbox made more sense, balance-wise. Except the Magnum. It somehow got more retarded than the Post-TU Halo 2 Magnum.

I intend to live forever, or die trying,

so far, so good.

I think they are both great games, but due to Halo 3 Ranking System.

Games in Halo 3, were much more even.

Hi.

Each dash is an arbitrary fun unit:

Halo 3 overall:
-----------
Reach overall:
-----
Default Reach:
--
TU Reach:
--------

At least, that's how I feel.
