I figure I may as well rag on Reach again as everyone else that matters already has.


Terrible AI, general bad gameplay, vehicles are next to useless, etc. Gotta say my biggest two gripes are enemy behaviour and canon. A single basic enemy Grunt throws grenades faster and more accurately than the player does. They can dodge every rocket, every grenade, every plasma pistol overcharge. But the player can't. Same thing with Elites. And Jackals. And Brutes. They have near perfect aim and never have to reload. On higher difficulties they don't get more aggressive and intelligent, as they did in CE, but they shoot more and do more damage per shot. Every advantage has been given to the AI, while the player is given none. This indicates something went very wrong during development.

However, that pales in comparison to the "problem" with canon. To be perfectly honest Bungie -blam!- over Eric Nylund and the entire existing canon. Microsoft had to have some rewrite parts of the novels because Bungie didn't want to fit their narrative into the existing universe. It would not have been difficult, as there were multiple places they could have done it. Destroying the Covenant ship, investigating the tunnels, defending the Super-MAC generators, etc. But no, they had to completely -blam!- -blam!- up and pretend they were fitting everything in. S-IIIs on Reach? Before they were implemented? Entire companies dying but still being there? Too old for the companies? Covenant ships on the surface for days with no UNSC response? The list just goes on and on and on.

I was originally going to type this long response, but I think simply saying that beating up on Reach doesn't make you cool.

No, I don't need that to look cool. It just makes me feel better after wasting close to $90 on the rubbish.

Personally I enjoyed it, and still do. Perhaps you should sell it, or, get over it.

Reach has ended my 5 year addiction to Halo. Thanks Bungie!

LMFAO.

I still play:

Rome Total War (2004)
Pokemon R/B/Y (1996)
Mario Kart (1992)

Halo 2 > Halo 3 > Halo 3 ODST > Halo Reach > Halo CE

Based on campaigns.

This. I would choose a Jak and Daxter or Crash Bandicoot game over any modern COD or Battlefield or even Halo any day

I find it odd that everyone identifies H3 as a classic Halo yet it is the progenitor of Reach. I mean all of the following bs can easily be seen in H3:

-retarded friendly AI
-kill stealing friendly AI
-bullet sponge enemy AI
-ugly Grunts
--blam!- up Elites (Reach's Elites don't live up to the CE and H2 Elites)
-moving shield Jackals (they just stand there and take shots)
-roadblock Hunters (they don't pursue)
-vehicle physics
-skulls with little to none exploration encouragement
-invisible barriers, limited exploration
-short missions
-excessive scripting
-redundant weapons

It's plainly obvious that H3 led to Reach.

Why am I bringing this up? Because today is the last time I play H3. The game has been uncooperative with me so many times and I can't take it anymore! I've already snapped all my game save discs. I just wish I hadn't spent those 2400 Microsoft points on this worthless game. Even Reach might have been a better purchase.

SG! It's nice seeing you back here. I'm sorry to hear you aren't enjoying your purchase. I agree with what you said except fro the Reach Elites part. They live up to Halo 2 Elites, just not CE Elites (as far as looks, gameplay is more complicated).

Just paying a visit. Yeah well I'm quite relieved right now. Cleared a lot of hard drive space today.

I'm just hoping H4 does not turn out like Halo 3 or it's successors.

Hunters, Jackals, Elites are need in reform. Hunters should pursue, Jackals should man up a little, Elites need to be like in CE.

A game can still be good to people no matter how old. Heck the other day I was playing Crash Bandicoot for the original Playstation and I was having a blast.






Man, I miss that game.
Age should not affect anything about how good something is, It can always be enjoyed for as long as you find enjoyment in it.
