Subject: is halo reach as good as halo 1?

ok so i'm a pc gamer thus i only got to play halo 1 and 2, personally i hated halo 2 because the weapons just felt so weak compared to halo 1 and the fact that regenerating health reared its ugly head and made the sheild feel kind of pointless considering its not a total loss if your shield goes down becuase your health comes back anyway, so i ask you people of the reach forum is halo reach as good as halo 1?

New Marathon? Thanks Bungie!

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.

Ahahahahahaha no.

Well, if by 'good' you mean made bungie a heap of cash.

But lets face it ... once you cut MC out of the game its no longer actually a halo game. Once bungie got away with it with ODST ... (the expansion pack - no matter what bungie tried to call it)... they thought no one would notice with reach.

Plus CE was a great multiplayer game ... it insipred people to play as an actual team, none of the stupid barbie dress-up individual rewards ... ad bungie put it, 'reach fails 2010'

ODST is miles ahead from Reach and tails CE.

so you meen bungie can't put us in a difforent perspective to help expand the story? do you think halo 2 singleplayer would have been played at all if you didn't get to see what it was like from your enemies perspective? constantly in fear of being left behind and bringing shame to your famaly? i meen that was one of the few things they got right in halo 2, they showed you how the covanent was braking down and why the elites sided with the humans, if that wasn't there and it was just master chief blasting his way through waves of grunts and covenent all the way through the game and near the end the elites start fighting the brutes for no apparent reason then the story would have been worse than it already was

I intend to live forever, or die trying,

so far, so good.

They are both very different, as REACH has AA.

Campaigns for both games are great, graphics are much better in REACH, but Halo CE is 10 years old and you can always play Halo CEA for REACH graphics.

You won't fins the CE Pistol in REACH unless you play Annaversary play list.

But why wait to play Halo REACH when Halo 4 is out in a month.

ODST was a great game.

I loved the campaign.

global warming isn't proven and won't be - it's more of a political play for funding for "research"

Reach beats CE at being terrible.

The Snow Leopard's wisdom includes: Understanding one's shadow-side; trusting one's inner-self; agility; strength; the ability to stalk; understanding the power of silence.

Multi-player-wise, it nearly is. If it weren't for a few flaws, Reach would've been the best Halo game.

There's always room for you, If you want to be my friend.

I hear the online multiplayer is better for Reach.

does it take more skill than halo 2?

No.

Posted by: beenlord
do the weapons feal as powerful as they did in halo 1?

No, though that is mainly due to the physics and sounds rather than anything else.

Posted by: beenlord
does the health system not feal so forgiving?

Yes

Posted by: beenlord
is the pistol nerfed to death or does it have that same "kick" it did in the first game?

Much more powerful than in halo 2, mut not as powerful as in halo CE.

It's kind of in the middle of the two games, if you can get it for a good price then I definitely reccomend it. Do bear in mind that sine halo 4 is coming out soon the multiplayer is gonna be pretty much empty.

Nostalgia: Halo CE
Complexity: Reach


lol ... reach complex.
In what way is reach gameplay complex.

The maps are over-balanced, no strategic playpoint that cannot be easily countered ... snoozzzz.

Weapon firout ... not a lot of complexity here either, pick from a set of standard sets ... wow, thats hard (and again over balanced).

reach is basic fps ... nothing more.
That could have been fun, but unlike CE bungie went with individual efforts and a focus on everything but good team play.
