Why were Halo 3 Custom games better?

1. All Forge Objects on all Maps. All maps could be Forged on.

2. Interactive Objects X 1,000,000. This is why Custom Games haven't been as fun. Jenga, Shut the Base, Trash Compactor, Hurricane Katrina, etc.

3. All objects were asthetically pleasing

4. Large amount of every Object type. (10 Crates in Halo 4? Really?)

5. Equipment allowed for an unprecedented amount of interactive maps. Gravity Lift was used as a Key to open doors.

6. Partly due to the fact that you could, break, or get out of most of the maps.


1.) Forge World was massive, so there wasn't really a need to Forge on other maps. There was Tempest as well, anyways.

2.) But all those gametypes were successfully made in Reach...

3.) Not really, it was still all just one color for the most part. At least with Reach there were different environments plus more FX you could be creative with.

4.) Well, that's Halo 4. In Reach there were a lot more Forge options than 3.

5.) AA's could fill the equipment option pretty much.

6.) You could do that in Reach anyways, get out of Forge World for more Forge space as well as Forging under the ocean, etc. Plus, you can get out of maps like Reflection, the Anniversary maps, Sword Base.
1. But Forge World was just a single environment, no change of feel, or style.

2.Jenga? No. Shut the Base? No. Hurricane Katrina? No.Trash Compactor? No. Predator? No. Zombies Chasing Warthog Maps? No. Journey? No. Assasinate the President? No. The Train? No.

3. Maybe, but most of them had different colors. Especaially the large assortment of Decrative Objects that disapeared.

4. Reach only had 20 IIRC.

5. Not really. Can Jectpack open up blocked doors? Can the Dropsheild provide safe passage through Kill Balls?

6. Not as extensively in Halo 3. Construct, Last Resort, Sandtrap, Sandbox, Foundry. And because you have all the Forge Objects on all the maps, you could take advantage of the outside areas to the maximum.

I'll admit that, especially after the TU, Reach is better.

The pinnacle of Halo though? That's a long, long, LONGGGGGGGGGGG stretch.

Why Bungie, why would you do this?! - Halo Community

Halo 4 and Reach have too much BS for me to ever like them. Forge and Customs was the only redeeming factor for Reach. Halo 4 has nothing new or exciting, its just copy+paste from Reach and COD.

If Fed Ex and UPS merged into one company, would it be called Fed Up?

I don't want to start another account for a digital number that has no true value in ten years.

I think people need to remember that for Halo 3s time, its forge, theater, custom games, and file sharing was amazing. Of course later games expanded, but for its time it was one of a kind. That's why I put Halo 3 as the best. It perfected Halo 2 and then some with those new additions that let us expand the Halo universe even more.

And then Halo Reach improved upon Halo 3.

No, it did in the terms of forge, but not gameplay. It's additions to the multiplayer have made Halo go downhill.

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.

Excuse me? Halo 2 was garbage? Halo 2 and 3 are the best halos. By far. They improved more on the game than any others. I can't believe I just read that.

Considering this thread belongs in the Reach/Waypoint forums you continue to post spam as well.

it's just me against the world

I will always dislike Reach for one thing, and one thing only. And that is selling the base game with 5 "different maps" all on Forge World and thinking it's ok. Only Hemorrhage and Paradiso were big enough and different enough to be separate entities. The Cage, Asylum, and the others were simply just laziness to create more maps.

Lol reach.

Sure I liked it. And it was 100 times better than halo 4. But in no way was it the pinnacle of halo.

I'd say that goes to halo 2.

The game still came with like 8 more non Forge World maps though, so I don't really see how it's an issue.

I love Halo 4 and will continue to play it.


HOWEVER: I agree. Halo: Reach was Halo's highest point for multiplayer by very far.
