Legendary: You face opponents who have never known defeat, who laugh in alien tongues at your efforts to survive. This is suicide.

I am a Legendary Conqueror.

I've been a huge Halo fan. But the thing is I don't REALLY play Halo Multiplayer. The only time I've played Halo is on my console and since I don't play Xbox anymore (don't want to pay for Live just for one game), I've been thinking about getting it for PC.

I love Halo. I remember having Halo parties for like 2 days straight with no sleep just having fun with friends. Other than campaign, I really haven't touched Halo *cries*.

So if I get back into Halo, to just have fun with Multiplayer, is the newest Halo the most popular? Or is one of the older ones that has the most players? Only reason I ask is in the past I've heard about some of the older Halo Multiplayer's mechanics were better than the newer ones and so people would play that more. So I'm just trying to find out what everyone is playing now because I really want to get back into it. Or is multiplayer sorta slowing down since the first and second Halos?

Don't do anything you wouldn't want to have to explain to paramedics. Trust me, I'm a pilot.

Reach has as many opinions about it as it does players. Personally, I still play Reach. I mostly play Firefight, but I'll play BTB or Team Slayer if I play with friends.

Halo 3 still has a sizable population, in that there's no trouble finding a match to play. Again, when I play matchmaking, I try to play with friends.

If you want to get back into playing Halo multiplayer, then both games, in my opinion, are equally good. It's all a matter of personal preference.

Just on a side note, OP, this forum is for discussing canon from games that Bungie made, and their respective universes. If you want to talk about one game specifically, try the Reach or Halo 3 forums. If you want to talk about the pros and cons of both at the same time, the Flood will be your best bet.

Oh I'm sorry! I don't really do much here other than view threads! Totally my fault for not looking more into the reason for this kind of forum section!

But thank you for the answer. I think I'll look up some Live Streams on Halo and see which one I prefer more.
