global warming isn't proven and won't be - it's more of a political play for funding for "research"

Did you think someone would tell you that you are wrong?

Reach has jetpacks and sprint. Games without sprint are dumb and boring imo

Halo 3 is my favorite of all of the halo games, so yeah, I would agree.

Halo 3 was easy to play... difficult to master.

Skill mattered more in this game.

I still like Reach, it seems everyone hating on it because that's what everyone else is doing.

If I had to pick on individual aspects that I would like to change in Reach first would be the grenades. They are two powerful and spoil the "golden triangle" that made Halo 2 and 3 great online.

Second, the jump height/gravity. I think less gravity would make it feel more like halo, if I want to feel grounded I'll play BF3.

Armour abilities. Although I use sprint (because it is so useful) I think the most workable/balanced AA was Hologram. It doesn't give the user any real advantage, but if employed well it throws the opposition off. Sprint, evade and jetpack are all well and good, but the reason most people liked halo was because everyone started equal. Maybe if AAs were distributed around the map it would be fine, but then they would just be equipment.

I know these points are stupid, but they are some of the reasons i prefer 3 to reach.

I don't think they're stupid at all; they're spot on. These are pretty much the reasons that Reach failed to have a strong competitive multiplayer component. If the 1-50 ranking system had still existed, and equipment had still been there, and bloom were removed, and the BR were there, as well as the changes you mentioned, Reach probably would have been better than H3. After all, it used hitscan and inproved netcode, but those things are simply obscured by the poor decisions of the game. Still, that's so many changes....it's hard to believe how different Reach was.

Halo 3 was as near as perfect any game for the 360 will ever get imo.

improved netcode


Reach was way more annoying for me. At the start of every game it used to go black screen for about 10 seconds while it changed host or something.

I played a couple of games of Reach the other week and I don't remember it happening then, so maybe it has been fixed.

Yeah, the host dropping could be VERY annoying. It seemed to interperet good and bad hosts much better, though, which at least prevented Mexican hosts during SWAT matches.

There is no doubt Reach is the scourge of Halo. I may not have liked H3 but just look at how it's being treated.

-No file support for H3 coming to Waypoint (or at least, not immediately)
-No updates for H3
-Anniversary using 90% Reach assets, only a few are from H3 (Cortana, Flood, AR)
-Anniversary including skulls that make CE play like Reach: Recession (useless AR and pistol), Bandanna (bottomless clip Firefight), Grunt Funeral (random Grunt jetpacks), Grunt Birthday (just graphical), Eye Patch (like Bloom, it screws up aiming), Boom (grenade nukes), Mythic (melees do nothing to enemies), Foreign (makes sandbox uninteresting)

It's despicable!

And what does 343 say to all this? Their excuse for using Reach's mp for Anniversary says enough: to avoid splitting the community.

M$ is maneuvering H3 into the past. Hopefully, Reach will share that same fate when H4 comes out. That would be sweet justice!

On the bright side, H4's AR is more similar to H3 (canon consistency), H4's vehicles and grenades are closer to H3, and apparently, movement speed and jump height is closer to H3. I just hope that the Banshee gets some drastic changes or at least resembles the H3 Banshee like in the concept art.
