Aang, while you have viable arguments for everything else, what about the -blam!- matchmaking?


Well, you're going to need to be more specific with "-blam!- matchmaking".

I thought the playlists were very varied and diverse, with great gametypes that I could have fun it. BTB was always a blast for me, I loved it more than Halo 3 and (unfortunately) Halo 4. I still think Reach's maps are underrated, I thought all of the Non-Forge world maps were good, and the Forge World maps of Paradiso and the like were good too.

And it seems that I'm of the few that actually liked Arena, I thought it was a good playlist for competitive matchmaking.


But what about mechanics like Bloom, Armor Lock, Banshee Bomb's AoE, AR Starts, Grenades, the awful default maps, the "unfairness" of everything in general? I enjoyed very few maps, and they were all Forge maps made by sane community members.

Aang is a Reach kid anyway. I'm willing to bet that he never even played H2 matchmaking.


Nice intelligent points you bring up explaining why I'm wrong. Also nice assumptions.

Thanks for confirming my assumptions. ;)

Also, these arguments have been thoroughly discussed thousands of times.


I confirmed your assumptions, how? Why don't you actually elaborate on my points and how they're wrong rather than simply standing there thinking "HAHA your opinion is stupid and I'm much better than you".

You know, I swear I seen this be-

OH WAIT





Halo 2: Halo 1 was better, this game is terrible.

Halo 3: This game sucks, we should go back to Halo 2.

Halo 3: ODST: This game is terrible, we love Halo 3.

Halo Reach: Reach sucks, ODST is godmode.

Halo 4: This thread.

But I've always thought Reach was good, and I think Halo 4 is good as well...

I make a living of selling my body, and I don't mean sex.

I still think Reach has way better player models, lighting, and custom game options.

When I say lighting, I sorta mean in general. Somethings are better in Halo 4 but lighting on player models is way better in Reach than Halo 4.

That's just me though.

Found a fallacy. I still hate Reach.

Goat was famous. Irie was infamous. Gh0st was FaMaS.

My stats in Halol 4

Typical Waypoint post.
no it's "its got to go" you wouldn't say the "it is got to go" would you?

I'm quite tired of trying to explain to people why Reach was a mess of a Halo game, so I'll just leave it at these topics

No good release maps
DMR was an inconsistent lump of garbage
Arena was poorly implemented from the start
Armor Abilites made horizontal cover and movement useless

  • 12.22.2012 12:09 PM PDT

One of the lesser skill gapped halo games to date minus halo 4.

  • 12.22.2012 12:11 PM PDT

In my opinion.
Halo CE: Campaign
Halo 2: Customs
Halo 3: Matchmaking
Halo ODST: Firefight
Halo Reach: Customs
Halo 4: Campaign

That is my opinion on what each game had the best to offer. Of course it is my opinion. Halo 2 was my favorite Halo out of all of them though, so I believe that is where the pinnacle of Halo was.

Ah yes insult me and call me retarded because we have different opinions on a video game.

You were wondering why you got banned on the 343 forums, well if your posting habits here are any indication you likely got banned for flaming and or insulting others.

Everything is proceeding as I have forseen.

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

That is a very hypocritical statement. The previous poster wasn't not talking about you yet you insulted him.

I just read the first page of this thread and then the last one and let out a raucous laugh! It's funny how quickly threads on here become about insulting one another and defending oneself.

Your ">" chart is ass backwards.

Oh, and your opinion is -blam!-. You seem like a thirteen y/o who never played 3, yet tries to act like they did.

Halo 4's forge and customs are amazing. Forge mode has 3 worlds, each with different themes. Customs are only somewhat limited with flood mode, because you can't customize the weapons the flood have. Otherwise, many right steps were taken.

Guide to immortality : Sleep with Life

I had a pretty big time thread once.

Here's me bragging about it.


Posted by: carby21
3 had the best forge and custom games as well. Reach and 4 have many more features in forge but they lack entertaining maps to forge on.
Exactly this x100000.

Sandbox and Foundry alone own any group of maps to forge/play customs on in either 4 or Reach.

it is like a sliver of forge halo reach had. Custins are terrible in halo 4. You can't even create a race game type for example. Halo 3s forge was very outdated at least when you compare it to reach.

The fact that the maps are so small and so limiting with kills zones is a huge turn off. There's no reason we can't go around the entire island of Ravine or even touch the ocean.

Explain the forge mode part, and I'm sorry you can't play as a mostly aesthetic lizard man.

In fact there is a small to little skill gap in halo 4. Since reach it got worse adding personal or dances and random prances making halo mostly about game time and luck.
