Subject: Will Reach be the "glory days" for some?

No, ExcessiveFaun6 is not my real gamertag.

Cortana: The message just repeats. "Regret, Regret, Regret."
Miranda: Any idea what it means?
Sgt. Johnson: Dear Humanity... we regret being alien bastards. We regret coming to Earth. And we most definitely regret that the Corps just blew up our raggedy-ass fleet!
Marines: Hoo-rah!

While the majority of the posters that are on this forum (myself included) played Halo 2 and 3 to a really extensive degree, and now feel somewhat jaded about Halo: Reach, do you think that there might also be an age group who never played these games, who will later reflect on Halo: Reach as the "glory days" of the Halo franchise as sequels continue to be made?

Yes.

Sadly yes.

PSR = (((K+A)/D)*Win%)*120
The average player's PSR = 100

There will be players who even played Halo 2 & 3 that will look back at Reach as the glory days for the simple fact that the skill gap was destroyed for long enough for them to feel like they were good at Halo...

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

Yes.

I was only being facetious. Of course I read it, it would almost be physically impossible not to read that sentence even if you just happened to glance at it...

glory days for the franchise? doubtful. even the little kids ive come across like 1,2,3 better than reach.

Okay, then I feel better. But it honestly has been happening a lot. I feel like I'll post a three sentence topic and I'll have people replying with "tl;dr" responses.

Sadly yes, it will for those who's first Halo was Reach.

  • 07.25.2012 11:06 AM PDT

Derp.

Welcome to my profile......although there isn't much here.....or you're just stalking my information from some uncanny thread I posted in.....or created.

Of course. I started on Halo: CE for the PC and practically only played Halo 3 when I got my Xbox 360. Sadly I never was able to experience Halo 2 and it's apparent multiplayer awesomeness. I love Halo CE, 3, ODST and Reach but it's pretty clear Reach is very different from the others just like ODST was. I see Halo CE as the "glory days" for me, along with Soldier of Fortune II which was another one of my first multiplayer games :3

Breaking barriers.

Yes, those who grew up and knew only Reach will one day revere it so long as games continue to over casualize themselves.

Halo multiplayer sucks!

Based on campaigns

Halo 2 > Halo 3 ODST > Halo 3 > Reach/CE tied

I started with Reach and I think Halo 2 was the best.

I used to think Halo 3 was the glory days back when I loved the multiplayer, now I just thinks its crap, as well as Reach.

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

Sadly, yes. The Halo franchise gets worse every game.

CE glory days. Anything past an Overkill or killing spree was assumed godhood.

Make up a name for it.

Hell yeah. Getting Running riot in a friendly 2v2 on prisoner never felt so good. Especially with explosions and insta spawn.

Glory days----> Halo 1

Oh you mean this post? Yeah I did see it. It's what made me write this thread. Yours was a poll, which arguably hinders discussion, but mainly yours was phrased in a general sense, if we'd all miss the game or not. This thread is about if you think there will be some who will look back on this as the pinnacle of the Halo franchise, as their "glory days". Your thread put that spin on things in my head, and I decided to post about it.

Your opinion is invalid.

OP, you spelled 'glory hole' wrong.

Oh yes. I have talked to so many people who say that Reach is the first Halo game they ever played. It's a pitty really.

I started in Halo 2 (on another account sadly) and played Halo 3 till I hated it (the BR) and can say that yes- I will probably think of Reach as the high point of Halo.
Halo 2 will always be my beginning, I will always remember the good times in H3 before the game crashed and burned, I'll always reminisce ODST's FF and appreciate Anniversary- but Reach (to me) will be that point where Halo almost became perfect.
