iReact to everything.

I believe all Halos are very good. My favorite is Halo 2, and the 1-3 trilogy is the best to be honest, but that's only my opinion.

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

Rockets taking more skill is a reason H3 is worse than Reach...lol

Rockets in Halo 3 are easy kills, not free kills...how it should be.

657 MLG 50s.

Still get hit offline in H3. Rather put up with that then Reach, ironic considering that for a dead game it has a higher population searching ranked then both MLG and Arena for Reach.

Extra detail a.k.a overdone. Though they did have strategic applications sometimes (Valhalla flag launching, Construct grav lifts).


My post from the thread on 343i which countered this argument well in my opinion.
Well I'm not saying that it's a bad thing. Plus, I reminiscence about CE far more than H2 or H3.

Most annoying thing about Halo 3 was the regen. It was so lame to make someone one shot then they throw it and their shield is back.

I alot of halo 3 maps are a joke (citadel) while some are really good. Rockets suck ass. But H3 still did a few things right.

Wut?

There is no such thing as a 'better' game (unless of course you mean that you prefer reach over Halo 3).

However, if you are arguing about competitiveness, Halo 3 was overall more competitive than Reach, but ZBNS MLG in Reach is probably more competitive than anything else in H3.

Yeah I know what you're checking for.

Sadly I got my 50 after they stopped doing the stats for Halo 3 here.

So if Reach really is better than Halo 3, how come myself and most others on this forum get bored after like 4-5 games? Yet we could play Halo 3 for several hours and not even begin to feel bored?

I tried playing Halo 3 post reach release. Not nearly as fun as I remembered. bullet traveltime is retarded, alot of halo 3 maps are a joke (assembly,isolation,heretic,citadel,orbital,rats nest) while some are really good (pit,guardian) Rockets suck ass. But H3 still did a few things right.

The only map in all your bad list that is actually bad is orbital and maybe isolation.

Also Guardan sucks.

1) Well at least the grenades aren't as bad in terms of the blast radius.

2) Yeah, so? This just means that rockets aren't as noob-friendly in Halo 3.

3) You're completely right about the BR, but it's easier to strafe in Halo 3.

4) I don't know what you mean by that.

5) Beats Armor Abilities.

6) That's your opinion, I actually didn't mind AR starts.

7) I can't argue with that.

8) That's because Halo Reach is three years older than Halo 3.

No. Assembly sucks. Guardian, pit, construct are boss. Orbital, isolation, and citadel are meh.

Breaking barriers.

There is literally nothing in Reach I would like to see brought back except for the 2x scope on the magnum and the netcode.
