Subject: What game do you prefer

They both have things that each don't: Halo 4 allows you to keep a loadout in a matchmaking game, Reach to me has cooler armor and the mark 5 helmet, 4 has better AI enemies, 4's story was better, and has the BR.
I LOVE both.


I like you, you are positive.
I wish I could be happy playing whatever Halo becomes, but I can't seem to enjoy Halo 4.

Because armor lock,quarter sized reticle bloom, and non-bleed through melee is what Halo is all about amirite?

which has nothing on perks, custom loadouts and killstr...I mean ordnance drops.

sorry, you lose.

I''m just curious what you guys thought was a better game. I personally will stick with Reach until they add better playlist to Halo 4.

>custom loadouts aren't a good thing. Not if you want a sliver of balance

>Halo 4's AI are actually worse. AI that are out of range will just stand there and let you shoot them (~15 shots to kill a General) until they roll over and die.

Up close they just spam grenades as if the appropriate skull was activated. "Cheap" would be the best way to describe them.

-Halo 4 has the better campaign still, Reach's level design is probably better, but the characters were not likeable, not one bit.

-Spartan Ops is repetitive and feels empty compared to Fire Fight. The only redeeming factor is the awesome cinematics that are unlocked in the 'videos' section.

-Halo 4 MP is embarassingly bad. Armor lock & Bloom have nothing on all of the problems Halo 4 introduced.

since MP is where I get my lasting appeal: Reach >> Halo 4.

Halo 3 puts them both to shame though.

Kinda both the same. Reach had a fun multiplayer and firefight. Halo 4 has amazing campaign and spartan ops

I don't think Reach's characters were non likable....And I think the Promethians are very tough. I understand a lot of fans hated Reach's missions, but I don't think it's worth hating...
Halo 4 and Reach are my favorite halo games.

I'm not racist, I own a colored TV

Halo 4 = better than Reach
Reach = my ass
Halo 3 = last decent Halo game

Well of course Reach is gonna get more votes. The only people that still frequent the Reach boards are the Reachtards. While Halo 4 isn't perfect, it is still miles ahead of Reach ever was.

Well said ... odd though that even on the games own home forum the vote is still so close.

But lets have a look at something with a few more numbers, Major Nelson's online player count.
- here we see reach placed at #15
- Halo 4 at position #2
So yes, in the real world more people prefer playing Halo 4.
Question answered.

Of course, the reach forums life long jelly partner COD still holds #1 position.

Hell ... COD still holds 4 of the top ten positions.
Even a COD title which is a WHOLE year older than reach (MW2) and has to compete against 3 of its sister games ... still manages to get into the top ten.

Halo 4 ... the game that gave reachtards something they hate, and yet may actually have a chance of beating one day.
(not a good chance, but better than that presented by COD)

343 went a bit crazy with the Halo 4 Armour, most of it looks like vomit.

The Halo Reach Armor, 90% of it looks really cool, and Halo 4, only 10% looks really cool.

They went overboard. should had kept all the REACH and added a few new ones. That still would had been heaps.

We want quality not quantity

I have always had a great idear.

And as so many people seem to complain at which Halo they think is the best. then my dream game is the answer.

Name: Halo Multiplayer

Contains all maps from all Halo Games, and you can choose which expereince you want.

Want to play Halo 2, then it runs the Halo 2 engine, and the game plays and feels like Halo 2 but with the latest graphics engine running.

Some maps may not work the best as they were designed for AA, but who cares your playing Halo 2.

Want to play Halo 3, CE, ODST, REACH, Halo 4 etc You can.

Everyone wins.

If they did this, you could see a player count for each game people were playing, the game that people think was the best, would have the highest number.

My opinion is that Halo 4 is much more "entertaining" than Reach. I was bored and frustrated with Reach within the same amount of time since release.
