Halo 3 was the worst game in the trilogy, I welcome Halo 4.

Oh and wrong forum.

Reach beats GoW!
Reach beats CoD!!
Reach beats everything!!!

Halo 3 was good, but it was not excellent... it was fun but I felt MM lacked polish, in retrospective.

Reach was a balanced, stable, polished game, but it did not suit many fans because of deviations in the classic Halo formula, but you can't expect a series of games to stay the same, it has to evolve somehow, and ungratefully, many people disliked the pathway to evolution Bungie took with Reach.

I also welcome Halo 4 and I have always considered Halo to be the ultimate video game series, and certainly don't see it falling from its spot anytime soon, although that may change once Bungie releases Destiny. Who knows?

PD: You stated no real reasons for saying halo might be ruined... work on your motives before saying something random and stupid like this, just saying.

"Living in the past is a luxury none of us can afford..."
"I know what the ladies like..."

I say you should reserve judgement until you actually play the game. I do, however, agree with you in that for me, personally, Halo 3 yielded some of the best, and funnest, gaming memories of my life. Reach was in no way like Call of Duty other than the fact that it has a "Sprint" option. I really don't see where you're getting that from.
Just chill out man. So far Halo 4 does seem like it's going in a very different direction than the original franchise but change isn't always bad.

Agreed that H3 was a great game and they ruined the franchise with Reach. I'm holding out hope that H4 is decent. Expecting the worst but hoping for the best.

Why Bungie, why would you do this?! - Halo Community

Wrong forum. Post this in Reach, if anywhere.

Say what now?!

It was far from balanced. Campaign difficulty is a joke.

It was far from stable. Graphics priority meant minus 20 fps at times.

And it was far from polished. You know that a game has failed when it puts seemingly impossible barriers all over the place and someone finds an extremely easy way to bypass it.

I don't like 4 because it's more like a call of duty game than a halo game. But it could surprise me when it's released.

Then don't play Infinity Slayer and just stick with the classic playlist. Problem solved.

Have nice day.

Call of duty stayed call of duty. So fans of halo wanted halo to stay halo. But halo has turned into call of duty.

  • 07.08.2012 12:01 AM PDT

Someones just wont learn many things.

I dislike all Halos after ODST, but I have high hopes for the fourth.

Also, the last good matchmaking was in in Halo 3, Reach was blammed with COD perks. And ah, Reach and Anniversary lag on my box for some reason.

The original three games were great. I honestly didn't like Halo 3 that much though. It's campaign, it's multiplayer, it didn't have that zest like the other games did. I don't know, it just felt boring compared to the other games.

Halo 3 ODST was special in it's own way. It was the only expansion pack in the entire time of Halo, it added firefight, and it had some pretty epic moments in it too.

Halo Reach was pretty great. It's campaign, although linear, was pretty great. I had a lot of fun pushing my way through the amount of enemies you had to fight in each level. It felt like you were in a gritty combat scenario, not a winning one. Framerate loss might have been a part of that. That's what I liked about Reach. As for multiplayer, it brought some armor abilities into play, which is not that all different from drop abilities. With drop abilities, you picked up a bubble shield, you used a bubble shield that was invinsible. In halo Reach, you selected the bubble shield ability from the menu, and now you can use that whenever you want. It is not invinsible, but it does heal those inside. Sprint, honestly, it's just sprint. Evade is basically a sprint that doesn't get you as far, but makes your hit box smaller. Armor lock is usefull because you no longer have that trip mine drop ability. So when a vehical is coming at you, you can lock down your armor, and you won't die. With the title update, they nerfed it so much it's actually useless now. Armor lock also replaced the missing overshield perk that lays around the map. Invisibility replaces both the radar jammer in Halo 3, and the invisibility perk in every other Halo game. Lastly hologram, which you can use as a decoy to help you out when the enemy needs to waste his shots so you can come in and kill the guy who was stupid enough to waste his shot on a hologram.

And also, the game was balanced and polished enough for me.

Halo Anniversary, while dissapointed about not getting all the map packs for Halo Reach for free, I am glad to see that I at least got 7 maps of the 13 total DLC. I also enjoyed playing that campaign again, even though I play it once every month or two anyway.

If anyone wants to get together and play some Marathon Durandal on the xbox contact me and we can work something out.

I agree, i think Reach was a good game and all, but it didn't meet my expectations for a Halo game. Part of it is probably because the characters were introduced and killed off in such a short amount of time that i couldn't really become attached to them.

So much wisdom in this post...

halo 1-3 were all good games, odst i hated and reach was decent.

and why do you thing "halo 4 is gonna be a cheap knock-off of cod"? have you not seen cod black ops 2? im pretty sure cod is knocking off halo. also, the first 5 mins of halo 4 that was shown at e3 was amazing. don't judge halo 4 until you've played it.

Tell me how Halo turned into CoD?

If it's because of the loadouts, then you're not paying attention to what 343 is saying. If you don't want to play with the new stuff, then play the classic playlist and not Infinity Slayer! Bam, classic Halo.

Half of what I say is true. The other half are also lies.

Yeah, and the fact that all armor was made of paper. When in a tank you should not need to worry about small arms fire. That is the purpose of a tank, to be immune to such things. Then everything kills your poor spartan so easily.

Frankly, if Halo were dead, no one would be playing it. And why compare Halo and COD? Which game came out first? (Rhetorical question) I'd have to say that each Halo game, while they still follow the similar formula, has its own flavor and own self. If one were to play through all the games, one would notice that they're different in its own distinct way. COD has stayed the same through the past several years. They're different types of games. Also, in cnclusion, what are the first letters in the title of this forum? "D'oH!"

A real man

For the whole cod against halo brawl,

Cod is pretty much ruined now in my opinion, this being that the long awaited finally to the modern warfare series, was a complete copie of the game before it only with the addition of a single game mode which was insanely repetative.
In addition to this, black ops too is going to drive the franchise into the ground by taking a game that all the fans of are dependant on recieving the same game just updated and with a different story as a campaign and taking a massive leap into turning it into an entirly different genre.

As for Halo, between each game they logically take steps in enhancing the gameplay and expanding on a universe with much more complpexity. Although they tend to be a little "experimental" at times, such as reach, they always seem pull it off.

For those of you who think halo 4 is looking like a Cod knock off, first of all understand that this is untrue being that loadouts and ordonace dont belong to Cod and have been around before. Secondaly, Cod has ripped off halo's theatre which halo had 4 years before and firefight (survival) which halo had 2 years before.

So too all of you out there who thinks halo is being "killed" and that halo 4 will fail, quit your complaining, and wait untill you actually play the game first.

well if you had visited the waypoint forums recently you would see that the people that played Haloat RTX were very pleased by the gameplay they had and said that Halo 4 was on par with 3 if not better.
Also all the Halo is cod and is gonna suck is prety unimformed and ignorant, because not only are most of the COD only for infinity slayer but most of the features (including AA's) seem much more balanced and (especialy AA's) not that usefull anymore.
