I just think that a game that's been out 2 years longer has had time to be refined a bit better than a game released last month.
You would think so ... but old bungie never did get around to patching the game. Hell, even Halo 4 has received its first patch over the original reach engine ... so we now have reach v2.02.

And just because I'm in the minority means my view is "killed"?
Kinda works that way ... just because YOU voted Romney (and the majority voted Obama) kinda means the minority got "killed".

And even if we do count YOUR view (because we are a nice bunch) it still doesnt change the outcome - more people like Halo 4 over reach.

Does your shift and period/greater-than key work?

343 patched Reach several times. That's irrelevant though, because my statement was that the MM experience in Reach is better than that of H4.

Perhaps I should clarify that. I like the choice of playlists in Reach better. I can play regular FFA, MLG, and BTB objective gametypes in Reach, but not in H4. I have, however, played regular FFA, MLG, and BTB objective settings in H4, and prefer these settings to their Reach counterparts.

Kinda works that way ... just because YOU voted Romney (and the majority voted Obama) kinda means the minority got "killed".

I put that in question format so that you would look over and find what was wrong with your statement, but I suppose you don't see the error.

The US constitution provides majority rule while also protecting minority rights. My opinion isn't "killed"; it's not invalid merely because I'm outnumbered.

If a majority of students think that school is pointless, should we do away with school? With your logic, the view of the minority that actually understand the importance of an education should be "killed". And "killed" is a terrible term to use. Overruled would be a better choice.

I'm not trying to get on your bad side, but it kinda seems that my contrasting opinion has already put me there.

im sad that the needle rifle didn't make it into 4 (i loved the sound it makes and the prospect of making people explode at long distances is surprisingly addicting.)

Couldn't agree more. Needle rifle was a favorite of mine as well. Never cared for the carbine or the way it looked, fired, etc. Like you said, the DMR available in prequel Reach.. not in CE, 2, 3, and you bring it back in 4? Only reasoning I can think for that is because of the Spartan IV training? Maybe all UNSC weapons were available to them. But how awesome would a needle rifle look and function in Halo 4? Oh well :(

Ok, will accept you opinion ... but to make a blanket claim that 'Reach MM is better'? Sounds like you are trying to state a group position when the online number dont support it.

Again ... blanket unsupported statements.
Can you provide a link to back up your claim that "a majority of students think that school is pointless"?

Also find it ironic that you speak of "the importance of an education" and yet continue to make unsupported statements ... just because YOU post words to a forum does not make them true, nor the opinion of the general mass.

I like reach nbns over halo 4.

all the maps in halo 4 are gigantic, and the leveling system is total crap.

  • 12.11.2012 4:54 PM PDT

Reach was my favorite Halo game.


It still is.


  • 12.11.2012 5:15 PM PDT

I like peanut butter. And playing Reach while smoking copious amounts of crack and wearing a Rainbow Brite costume.

It seems like the pace of H4 is faster than both Reach and Halo 3. Especially BTB. There are the same amount of idiots though. Power weapon/vehicle campers, people who rush in unsupported and die repeatedly, etc.

  • 12.11.2012 5:25 PM PDT

I intend to live forever, or die trying,

so far, so good.

Some people prefer Halo REACH, Some people prefer Halo 4.

Sorry, I didn't mean to make a blanket claim. It's my opinion, and I'm kind of in essay writing mode atm so I'm not used to clarifying that everything I type is my opinion and not necessarily a largely shared one.

The student example was hypothetical. Sorry that I wasn't clear on that.

TADAM! Its foolish to argue agaisnt others people opinions, we all got our own, stick to it, move on and be happy.
Now...back on-topic, Reach for me...yes yes, armor lock, ridiculous bloom, all that stuff pisses me off too, but I love the games graphic, they just feel...right, I love the armor customization (I find it much better then the one in Halo 4 in wich we cannot even choose to be an Elite) I really enjoyed the campaing, It may have taken me some serious level of roleplaying to actually make it more interesting but...hey! it worked! made me want to replay it countless times.

They may like it more, but they might also still play Halo 4, no matter the case.

I enjoy Halo 4 more then Reach. I was never a big fan of bloom. I'm not a big fan or perks either but what can I do? I wish Halo 3 came back to life.

Reach MM is better. H4 has potential to be better than Reach and even H3, if 343 can get their heads out of their asses.

  • 12.12.2012 1:59 AM PDT

Halo 4 is better because it adds more atmosphere to game play and playlists are set up well.
It seems that people who dislike halo 4 are all people that think they're good and are try hards.

Writing an essay without providing supportive argument ?!? Honestly? ... always thought that this style of writing was referred to as a story? Essays are generally based on the presentation of informed opinion based on quantified references.
In either case, story or essay, your opinion was wrong. Again, a valid source showing player counts - note how reach is placed at 15, halo 4 at 2 ... simple fact, deal with it - or expect to be called out.

Do we all need to respond to every word?

Ok ... noob == new/uninformed/inexperienced ... few == minority.
You already agreed to being in a "minority" and "outnumbered" group ... so yes "Few".
Now "noob" .. also you acknowledge your "blanket claim" and "my opinion" ... so also yes.
Happy ... or do I need to write a wall of text responding to each word you post??

As for "get on your bad side" ... nope.
You are obviously a difficult and immature individual, who appears to have an overwhelming need for explanatory detail ... but what do I care, does not affect me (other than pushing me for wall of text replies).
Happy ... or is your mission to get on peoples bad side?

Real account.

Join me as we make new friends from different communities!

If you assign every letter of the alphabet a number, a is 1, b is 2, etc., and you take all of the values of the word "MATH", and add them, you get 42. So math is the meaning of life, the universe, and everything.

Either get bored playing Reach or get frustrated playing 4. I pick neither.

Do you have any idea how to write an essay, what hypothetical means, what an opinion is, or what a supportive argument is and when it's necessary?

What do I need to support? The constitution bit? I had assumed you were at least in highschool, but I'm beginning to believe you're an above average but still learning middle school student. Read the constitution, it will do you good.

As for the student example, it was hypothetical. I shouldn't have to explain this. It's not a real life situation, it's a "what if this happened" situation.

Again, I'm not trying to make you mad. Why do you continue to responded in such an inflammatory fashion? Is there just a misunderstanding?

Ok .. try to stay on topic.
(also ironic that you rage about my not including two words from your post, but you feel fine to exclude all of mine - lol).

Now ... to remind you of your original post and its first sentence.

Reach MM is better.
And again I refer you to the online MM player numbers, a fact you seem happy to ignore.
Now explain how being placed #15 is better than #2?
(in a hypothetical, or inflammatory fashion - which ever you prefer)

Know it will be difficult, but TRY TO STAY ON TOPIC, avoid references to any constitution or your student life ... just explain to us how reach (being at position 15) is better (than halo 4, being at position 4)?
This should be interesting.

  • 12.12.2012 4:50 AM PDT

reach would beat any halo game to me, you should be able to handle armour lock grenade at the right time and boom. but besides that i didnt play anything that involved armour lock. MLG was REAL skill in halo reach, dont be scared to take it to the next level.

well a brand new game will pretty much always have more people in it than a game wich is 2 years older, and besides this topic is about everybodys personal opinion, not about how many players play something because that doesnt show anyting since it is brand new.
it would however show if you had the numbers of when halo reach just released, i would like to see those.

Your Halo 3 stats tell me exactly why you like Reach.

  • 12.12.2012 8:34 AM PDT

first i never said i disliked H3, second i got H3 3 as a 10 year old and all i cared about was having fun in BTB wich was awesome. by the way this topic is not about H3 it is about who likes halo reach better than halo 4 and vice versa. so pleas dont post this kind of off topic stuff.
