You must adjust to your capabilities

This is just my opinion. Even though reach should have been better: Halo CE, 2, and 3 are part of a trilogy and each should try to outdo the previous installment of the series. So, since reach was more of a side project like ODST. Why should we care that much? Now if Halo 4 is horrible then that is understandable, but this is just a game with no more than 2 years worked on it while the trilogy had 3 or more years?

Though this is just my opinion, and I don't think this game is that bad for a halo game. Halo 4 better be spectacular.

Reach makes me want to gargle gasoline whiling jerking myself off with sandpaper.

Reach wasn't a side project, genius

It wasn't a side project, but it had less work put into it.

Hey, uh, if you like vs threads, then check out this little group right here, if you have the time. It's pretty fun, just hop right in.

Yeah, it's not as good as the others, but it'll do until Halo 4.

For others, I think. I haven't played Halo in months.

Boltshot = mini shotgun

I kind of agree.
And I know Reach wasn't a side project, but didn't 1 part of Bungie create ODST and another create Reach?

Anything without MC as the main character is a spin-off.

Yes, while the ODST side project was happening the rest were working on reach. That could have hindered it in a sense.

Always up for REACH customs!

It wasn't a side project, but it sure seemed like Bungie treated it like a side project as they put very little work into maintaining it during the interminable process of transitioning the franchise to 343.

I doubt that. Bungie might've made some bad design decisions, but I'm sure they put more effort into it than any other title.

I'm not sure how you guys are so surprised...

Generally in a series, anything past the sequel or third is total crap. Halo 3 was an exception, but reach was the fourth (or fifth if you count ODST) game in the series.

Reach doesn't quite live up to the previous games, but it's still a decent game on its own. I think the people going "OMGZ ITS TOTAL TRASH AND THE WORST GAME EVER!!!1" are exaggerating just a bit.

I like reach, and its still part of the story:
ODST: in between H2 and H3
Reach: directly before Halo 1

So story line goes like this:
Halo Reach>Halo CE>Halo 2>ODST>Halo3>Halo 4-5-6
