lol go back to the reach forum boy. Halo 3 is and will always be better hence why it has lasted almost 5 years and is still #13 on the top 20 most played 360 games. LOLreach will be dead this fall


Just like how Reach would be dead last year, and this year, and how it would be dead now, or how it will be dead next year...

Until it hits numbers lower than Halo 3, it´s not dead at all. As much as you hate this, Halo Reach is outperforming Halo 3 like mad.

If PC is so great, why isn't there a PC 2?

Slightly unrelated, but I think it fits the topic title.

lol because every couple months there pretty much is a next-gen PC. And every few years, we get a new OS update. This October we'll have Windows 8 PC's with the next-gen Ivy Bridge CPU's from Intel plus the next-gen Keplar-based GPU's from nVidia.

By contrast, we get a new next-gen game console every 5-7 years while we get a new next-gen PC every 6-12 months.

Reach is newer and looks prettier. Most of the population is the casual population, and they want something newer..and prettier! Your question is like asking: If Super Mario World is so good, why didn't it ever come back?

  • 08.12.2012 11:11 AM PDT

Not enough population to sustain matchmaking, thats why.

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

Because playing the same game again for another three years isn't fun for most people? So they left and played CoD

And this. Derankers plague 1-35 and population is so bare-bone matches are often very uneven.

Halo 4 could fail. I'm waiting because there are some things that make me think it won't play like Halo and will annoy me just like Reach. Jetpack coming back really annoys me.

Black Ops 2 is adding ranked playlists and I've been good at the last couple cods so I might just completely convert. I hope Halo 4 plays good, but once again the color pallet annoys me (too dark and cartoony).

Also, the DMR is superior to the BR so have fun using an inferior weapon. Halo council already explained that the DMR is more accurate, has less recoil, shoots faster, and has a 3x zoom as compared to the BRs 2x zoom.

Hi.

The bandwagon effect.

The lag effect, too.

Reach has more advantages but at the same time, H3's better o_-?....

When Halo 4 comes out, watch Reachs population sink vastly lower than Halo 3. FACT.

I don't play much anymore.

This. The only reason why Reach has more players than Halo 3 is because it's a newer game. While many people have learned to adapt to Reach, many old-school players stick to Halo 3. Since Reach came out, I haven't bothered to pay for Live at all. I play Halo 3 locally with my friends, and I'm pretty sure that other people do so as well.

Had Halo 3 and Reach been released simultaneously, Halo 3 would have crushed Reach in terms of player population.

bungie screwed p on reach and i have a slight feeling 343 will to i miss halo 3 rumage

  • 08.14.2012 9:02 PM PDT

Because before halo reach people hated on halo 3, and they will love reach when halo 4 is released, people just need to hate the newest game, even though they play it, and once games become the older version people will go back to loving it, but they will still not play it

  • 08.14.2012 9:45 PM PDT

Pioneer and Enthusiast for Halo 3.

Halo 3 is far superior by a matter of opinion to me. Thats all that it takes for me to not play Reach hardly ever.

Citizens of Me! The cruelty of the old Pharaoh is a thing of the past. Let a whole new wave of cruelty wash over this lazy land.

Hear the word of Pharaoh. Build unto me a statue of ridiculous proportion. One billion cubits in height......that I might be remembered for all eternity!

And be quick about it!

Because Reach ruined Halo 3. I don't know how, but it just... did. Halo 3 is better, but yet somehow Reach has made it not as playable. Perhaps it is because of the voting system in Reach? I do not know.

Actually no I like playing Halo 3 better still.

Halo 4 is going to suck ass. It will be less competitive than Reach, which is quite sad... If you've read any news at all about it you'd know this yet people still are going to buy it and hope for the best. Black op2 will be 10x more competitive than Halo 4 will be. And if Sundance sticks to his word MLG isn't going to pick up Halo 4 either. Bye-bye competitive Halo. Since the only reason I bought an xbox 360 was for competitive Halo I may just switch to Ps3...

hopefully not, because i literally only played less than 50 reach MM games because i was bored out of my mind with the DMR.. I have read about halo 4 and all of the MLG pro's love it compared to reach so i doubt sundance would not use it for MLG. I also do not think any game could be less competitive for reach because that was the lowest of the low for competitive games

It's going to suck, but I don't think that's the entire reason.

Halo 3 never dropped below #3 on LIVE's "Most Popular" chart, while Reach dropped as far down as #8 on said chart within the first year of its release. Not to mention that Halo 3 had higher daily peak populations nearly three years after its release than Reach does now.

Congratulations on Reach outperforming a much older, previous installment in the franchise, and in a time where there are more 360 users thanks to it being more affordable. Given that Reach is still in its prime, it's a colossal failure compared to Halo 3.

So, yes, in comparison, it is "dead" compared to Halo 3 in the same stage of its life cycle.
