why do reach fanboys feel the need to whine about literally anything...

What other online games are there to play for a Halo fan? Nothing. COD,BF3,Gears- Those are the top other fps/shooter games and they don't play anything like a Halo game.

Besides, MLG Reach is fine. Everything else is iffy.

I'm not racist, I own a colored TV

I play Reach when nobody is online to play Halo 3 with.
That is all.
I've also played a lot of it before I realized how awful it was. It takes people different periods of time/amount of games to finally give up and realize it sucks.

You'll come around too. Just wait.

I <3 Halo:Reach - amazingly fun and best campaign + amazing Soundtrack
I <3 Halo 3:ODST - best soundtrack + Firefight + Coastal Highway and Mombassa Streets, amazingly unique campaign.
I <3 Halo 3 - best multiplayer levels + Forge + best Custom Games + soundtrack
I <3 Halo 2 - amazing huge fun campaign + soundtrack + Fun multiplayer
I <3 Halo: CE - started it all

Why do Reach Haters have such obvious ignorance and stupidity?

Because your logic is flawed, as is a lot of explanations. A person can try a sip of alcohol and say it's not bad but once they have the few shots they say its terrible.

It takes many games and opportunities for a person to properly evaluate the quality of game. However, this does not mean that those that dislike the game always give well-thought explanations.

Myself, I've played a fair bit of Reach, but cannot stand to play it anymore. The overly-casual-catered gameplay has taken its toll on me. I play a few matches here and there because there isn't too much else to do, but I certainly do not play Reach to the extent in which I played Halo 3.

I could rant on about Reach, but I believe that "It's not Halo" will suffice.

Ohai, I'm Loscocco (pronounced Loss-cocoa). I'm a college student (computer science major), 3D animator, and long-time Halo player.

Because among the most populated shooters to play, you can play Reach, CoD, or Battlefield? If not one of those games, you need to endure the hassles of small-populations, long search times, poor quality matches, few friends, etc...

Previous titles of the same games just die and become unplayable... Have you tried going back on a game like CoD4? The game is just run by modders. Halo 3 is run by full parties and foreign host.

On top of that, people will hate the game because by not complaining about the game, the franchise will continue stepping in the wrong direction and those people will never get a new game that they enjoy ever again.

The 343 forums suck. They're full of retarded kids and mods who got butthurt in the B.net forums for being told that they're bad.

Reach for me is only really any enjoyable when I play with friends, and even then it isn't because it's a great game; it's because I'm basically hanging with friends.

If I try to go in by myself, I get so frustrated that I stop playing or wait from someone to get online to join me.

  • 04.15.2012 11:04 PM PDT

Please drop price of ODST or at least put maps on marketplace Bungie! :(

The game is garbage. Go ahead and look at my service record, it's a good indicator of which Halo is better. *Cough* wait Reach isn't even Halo lol.

One does not simply trolololol into Mordor.

Well I hate Reach but I played it a lot at first because it was alright in the first month or two, then everyone started abusing everything and it just went downhill from there.

I agree with this part of his comment. You cant just play 1 or two games and say this game is horrible. You have to play it enough to make a sound judgement on it.

I do have to say that getting the kind of ranking on this game such as Inheritor and THEN saying that, is more or less stupid because just getting through Warrent Officer alone and how many games you have to play to get passed it should be enough to come to that conclusion.

But there are other factors that could be why those people dont say anything until a later level. For example, they could think for the longest time that Reach is a good game, get to Inheritor and THEN start complaining about the game.

This is an incredibly weak argument. The "a lot of games played, so more experience why Reach sucks" doesn't work.

Let's take food. I hate Suger Pops cereal. Following your logic, it would be expected that I would continue to eat Sugar Pops.

An Inheritor does not hate Reach. If they did, they would not continue to play something they don't enjoy.

Why would I possibly eat something I hate??

Me thinks the Reach haters like to create drama and they think it is cool to bash a game that they really enjoy.

Again, their behavior contradicts their argument.

Pretty ironic. I find the game pretty fantastic yet I have a small amount of games played.

Notice the pattern there?

If someone is an Inheritor, they (probably) have plenty of experience with the game, thus they'd be able to tell you why they think the game is bad.
If you haven't played as much, you wouldn't have the same experience as he/she does.

Just because someone has reached Inheritor, doesn't mean they like the game. Now why they would continue playing even after finding out they don't like the game? Beats me.

I'm an Inheritor, Reach isn't great. I like a few things about it, but I'd rather play Halo 2.


Couldn't agree more with you, it takes MONTHS to get to Inheritor, not just weeks...

Hm Reach is boring. Not only that it was casualized leaving the competetive community behind. It's population before aniversary and the TU was 10th place on the charts below FIFA and sitting at 15,000 at one time. It took a full year to make the game even playable. You make the whole topic into a misconception. I can still play a game even if I don't enjoy it.

Reach is garbage ever since it came out

Campaign story-line is the worst... EVER... of all time
Multi-player was never consisten with all those kids screaming and yelling on this forum that it changed like 3-4-5 times
The maps are awful
Firefight is NOT firefight it's an arcady version of Campaign Halo
Ranking system about how much time you wasted on that game
Ban system failing
Quit system failing
Gameplay system is failing (ghost, revenant and wraith flying are common, specially on Hemorrage) plus other gameplay glitch
Horrible decision of AA... should've kept it simple, AL, bubble shield and Jetpack was too much
Overall, Halo Reach is a good game

Because there is Forge and Theatre mode

Halo: Reach is the worst Halo game. That is not only my opinion, but proven through population statistics. However, that's not what this thread is about...

As you can see, I played. A lot. I have thousands upon thousands of games in Halo 3. If you look at my Halo: Reach service record, the same can be said. Go ahead and play as much as me and countless others do. You'll soon realize how stale, boring, and failed Reach actually is. We keep playing, not because we secretly enjoy it, but because we simply can't accept that this game isn't for us. That's all it is, a rejection of reality.

I have seen plenty of Halo: Reach defenders on this forum (spartain ken is a perfect example, as well as the "tjusen" guy) turn into Reach haters. It's all about how long it takes for you to realize that Halo: Reach is not what you thought it was. Just keep playing, Reach fanboys. It'll just take a little bit more time than it did for me and the others...

So you will continue to play a game you hate because you can"t accept reality that it is a bad game??? That is truly a new argument of why someone continues to play a game.

"I play Reach thousand of times not because I like it. I play Reach thousands of times because I have not accepted I hate it."

When you read the above sentence, do you hear how idiotic your argument is?

Perhaps it got "stale and boring" because you played THOUSANDS of games?? Did you ever think of that??

Does it take thousand of games to determine if a game is flawed? Perhaps after a few thousand games, you are confusing boredom with dislike of a game.

The logic is not flawed. It is only flawed in how you chose to apply it.

If you have to use labels like 'Retarded' to describe anyone who disagrees with you, Then your arguement has lost any weight it might of had, and I personally will assume you are just trying to get a rise out of people.

Also to those who think that having a high KDR means you're beast; just the fact that boosters exist is a prime reason that any thumbless noob can achieve it throwing the 'my high KDR validates my opinion" logic out the window.

Reach is bad.

I'm not a hater, simply stating my opinion.

It isn't bad to the extent where it burns my eyes and hands whenever I play it, but it is just bad in the sense that the campaign is dry and joyless and the MP is boring.

Just because people dislike something doesn't make them a "hater" automatically, so enough with the term Reach Haters because it is a blind, idiotic generalization. And just because people dislike it doesn't mean they can't keep playing it. People who have issues with the law don't always group together to overthrow the government. People who dislike movies while watching them won't always walk out of the theaters. People who put their hands on an active stove for 20 hours won't always pass out from the extreme pain.
