I stopped playing this game ages ago. I play Halo 3 and Battlefield Badcompany 2.

Reach is better than a lot of stuff out there right now, sadly.

I like how you posted an opinion, but I'll stick to my shooters.

Waiting for the Minecraft update...

Walk by faith. Dude. Not by sight.

Reach is still a lot of fun with friends. By myself, Dark Souls has been fun.

  • 10.02.2012 3:30 PM PDT

I'm playing until I get Inclement Weather :D

  • 10.02.2012 3:41 PM PDT

I don't. Reach is still better than a lot of console games, though.

The 343 forums suck. They're full of retarded kids and mods who got butthurt in the B.net forums for being told that they're bad.

I played Reach (BTB) the other night for the first time in like three months.

First game I get a Perfection, third game my team loses by 2 points because two randoms died a combined 44 times. This game still blows schlong in making even decent matches.

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

I was sure this was a Carburetor thread

I intend to live forever, or die trying,

so far, so good.

I like playing Halo, and REACH is the latest Halo that has came out.

And if Im not playing Halo, im probably on BF3 or GOW3.

There are tons of games better than Reach

Such as

Oblivion
Infinity Blade
Infinity Blade 2
Alice Madness Returns
Minecraft
Mario 64 DS

Infinity blade is a good game but it is an ipod game. ipod games cannot compete with xbox games.

"She is starting to damage my calm."

I'm not a gamer. I'm a player, but not a gamer. I started with Marathon in the 90s at work on the LAN. We played that for a long time. Then we did Myth and some Duke Nukem. Then Halo hit and we were in Heaven. Played insane LAN games of CE on Macs. Then we got an Xbox and played Halo 2 on the 4 split. By then time Halo 3 came out I was the only one left who was interested. I got a 360 and Halo for Xmas. I was 50 years old then and it was pure joy for me even though I am terrible. Got ODST and and Reach too. I like Reach even though I know the gamers have issues with it. But I'm just a player and I have no interest in dissecting the game mechanics and honing my skills to some ridiculous level. I just like immersing in the Halo world and pretending matchmaking is like some giant global LAN game.

And the online MM stats kinda prove this ... poor old reach dropped from the #1 spot only 2 weeks after launch, even with all its pre-release hype and advance orders.

But some people cant move on ... or just cant afford to go buying new titles as they come out. We all have friends like that - so its good to play their game of reach now and again rather than upset people.

Because of COD, the most popular games out right now, yet it still held spots in the top 5 games played for almost 2 years with around 300-500k players per day.. People who say reach was a huge failure fail to realize how good the game actually did, sure it wasn't the best Halo game but it was still a good game what got a lot of players.

Weekly challenges and the hope of ranking up sooner rather than later.

Well, not just COD (know that is the biggest jealousy point with reach ... but still).

Also beaten by sports titles, FIFA 12 and now FIFA 13.
(a new FPS beaten by a sports title - WTF).

And dont forget Minecraft ... hardcore stuff that it is.
Guess bungie tried to claim that ground with forge, but?

The fact is, that people pre-ordered reach on record numbers, and then brought even more copies as first-day releases - all thanks to the hype machine that is bungie ... and yet the online numbers dropped to 1/6th within two weeks.
Good games dont become uninteresting in that short a timespan. People were disappointed, bored ... and back to the OP's point, there was/are better games.

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."
