Subject: Black Ops Vs Reach My Final Conclusion After Nearly Two Years

At first when i heard about Reach i was ecstatic i would spend hours searching for even the littlest bits of info for the game. I loved Halo 3 to death and i figured if Halo 3 was as great as it was Reach is surely going to improve and be better. I was so excited that i pre-ordered Reach, and to this day it remains the only game i ever pre-ordered. When i first played it i was in all honesty in denial of the fact that it didn't live up to the hype. However i decided that since it was halo I'd keep playing solely in support of the game. For awhile I went and bad mouthed black ops and said how much better Reach was, that was until i actually played Black ops. The multiplayer bored me to death but zombies was like an unlimited well of entertainment that was in it's entirety better than reach as a game it had a sense of fun and challenge that Reach just didn't have. I always wanted to play to improve what my highest round was. So even though Halo is my favorite game series with halo 3 being my favorite game of all time, after nearly two years i have found black ops to retain a much higher replay value than Reach. What are your guys thoughts?

Halo multiplayer sucks!

Based on campaigns

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

Black Ops is my favourite online shooter

IMO BLOPS > Reach and Halo 3

You should probably kill yourself.

Why create a thread about this? This is surely going to end up in another Halo-Call of Duty flame war.


Regardless, I play Halo a lot more than Black Ops but that's only because in every Black Ops game I play everyone plants claymores and most of the players are little kids.

Okay.

Reach is still better than any CoD.

Name's John. I'm a 21-year-old firefighter/EMT from lolhio who doubles as a die-hard Halo fan. I've been enjoying the franchise since 2001. My favorite iteration of Halo would have to be Halo 2 simply because I never got to experience the joy of a full-on Halo: CE LAN.


If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Oh yeah, and boot Zome.

So horrible Halo players prefer CoD. Moreover, CoD zombies.

And in other news, it has been found that the sun does indeed set in the west.

Ohai, I'm Loscocco (pronounced Loss-cocoa). I'm a college student (computer science major), 3D animator, and long-time Halo player.

After buying Black Ops, I played its terrible campaign and a bit of multiplayer before giving it away. I would say that Black Ops is, without a doubt, the worst CoD in the entire series that isn't so good to begin with.

CoD is a series that is very approachable because it has such a tiny skill gap such that just about any person and their dog can be "good" at it. People that call themselves good at the game are giving themselves too much credit; it just takes basic knowledge of the best combinations of perks/guns for a specific style of play and a tiny bit about the map. Other than that, the actual execution of combat requires the slightest bit of reflex and the least amount of consistent aim. Black Ops takes that terrible series and adds the sloppiest game mechanics, maps, spawns, hit detection, loadout balancing, etc... of them all. Zombies is pretty entertaining, but its entertainment value is blown out of proportion when people talk about it, IMO. I personally can have about 20 mins of fun in that incredibly generic mode.

I definitely prefer Black Ops to Reach, but any other Halo kicks the -blam!- out of any other CoD.

I liked both but Reach is more fun and a better game imo.
