Subject: I like Halo 4, but Reach was the pinnacle of Halo.

Reach definitely had the best customs and Forge.
Campaign had good gameplay but the storyline could be better.
Excellent weapon sandbox.
Multiplayer was solid until the title update.
Maps weren't too good; Halo 2's maps were the best.
DLC sucked.
Firefight was OK.
Soundtrack was brilliant.

Why is Halo 3 your favorite?


thats like asking "why do you like a superior game?"

Halo 3 is the King. It had everything really. Visible skill ranks, social for those that just want a good time, solid campaign, forge and theater mode introduced, file sharing.

The list goes on. Halo 2 was good and Halo 3 perfected it. Then reach came and destroyed Halo forever. There is no going back. Now we have armor abilities and gimmicks to help bad players and no visible skill ranks since it will hurt bad player's feelings.

Halo 3 was honest and true and didn't make everything easy for you. Reach and Halo 4 basically say "It's ok to be terrible, here is a ton of random xp and medals for playing bad! ... oh and enjoy this super cool high rank that has no relation to skill at all!"

And Reach helped expand all the ideas introduced in 3/ODST.

Firefight, Customs, and Forge, and File Share were all taken to the next level in Reach.

3's Campaign was the worst of all Halo's.

There were many good additions to Reach's Competitive playlists. Arena was an excellent game mode.

Flood Kids? Lol.

Either the OP is trolling, Reach was their first Halo, or they are just stupid. Take your pick.

(Based on combinations of everything, like campaign, customs, matchmaking, etc.)

But Halo 3 was better than all of the rest put together... It had the best forge maps and objects, gametypes, custom games, multiplayer, and certainly the best campaign with epic environments. I can't understand why anyone would put Halo 3 last. Obviously you have only got into the franchise recently.

You sure got me dude. I'm caught. I've been trolling this whole time, Reach is indeed my first video game ever, and I am stupid.

I've been playing since Halo 2. Halo 3's Forge wasn't as good as Reach's, I don't even know how someone could think other wise.

Reach had superior customs and gametypes in every way technically. More option, more customization, etc. You may have just played 3 more and so nostalgia is talking.

But in practice there weren't many good ones.

I have a feeling you didn't play much of Halo Reach customs then. You could do everything in Halo 3 plus waaaaaaay more.

Reach? That's a funny way of typing Halo 2.


Halo 2 was utter garbage. Reach wasn't considerably better though.

Halo CE is still the most challenging, balanced, and longest Halo game.


This, this, and more this.

  • 12.22.2012 9:22 AM PDT

Reach definitely had the best custom games. There were a few settings removed that made some Halo 3 customs unable to be remade, but with things like Halo Ball people could do crazy things that no one would have expected.

I appreciate what CE did by introducing Halo and was revolutionary for its time, but you can't say that Halo CE had the best campaign.

It is extremely repetitive and tedious.
