Nope because I feel Halo 3 was much more skillfull and competetive. Arena is a joke and snipes,swat is not ranked. It's a big social fest.
The lack of more ranked playlists is a bit of a letdown. With the current win/loss style ranking system, 343 could easily make more too. Ranked lists, I will admit, are necessary so people who are good don't consistently match up against the thumbless.
Still, Halo 3 is much worse in many respects. The netcode allowed for tons of shots to not register. The bullets were objects which had to travel across the map and that data could be lost by the time it hit the target. It also could lag. The BR spread/Carbine's blatant inaccuracy led to even accurate shooters missing for no reason. The ability to use Elites simply so headshots would be less accurate sucked also.
Reach generally allows for a more competitive setting, the ball was just dropped in the absence of a competitive ranking system outside of Arena.
