Halo 4.... back to reach

Games Other Halo

I know i said with my recent post that it was my last but like any game nerd that says that, they really mean there’s a few more last words lol.

So I’ve came to the conclusion in this segment that when i want to play a short yet awesome campaign as far as the 360 goes I will play Halo 4. If I feel like playing MP competitively I will pop in Halo 3. Lastly when I feel like playing Casually with a pinch of competitive I will pop in Halo Reach

I know some of you hate reach and alot of you dislike the Armor lock, but for me its a really fun multiplayer and for the most part it seems 8 out of 10 matches run smooth/no lag which is a great experience for me. I love the powerups in the game and its nice to have to look around for the good weapons giving you that sense of bid for power vs a madhouse of ordinance drops.

Also The need to survive in that game fits well for me because of the Health packs I have to pick up. If I run out too fast and become rambo I get punished and have to wait a respawn time, teaching me to work with my team. I actually use my microphone more to communicate with the team so I can cover them and be covered while surviving the game.

Also the gamers on reach seem more forgiving if you accidentally hit them with a vehicle. I will say in the future of halo that booting a player should require a team vote because if that person is doing great on the team and makes one hiccup and gets booted then there goes your powerhouse of a player meaning you have to make up for it.

Reach all around is definitely “for me” where the halo multiplayer is. and as goes for a campaign with a great story and fun I will play Halo 4.

I managed to adapt in today’s Halo universe. I will say I miss using Halo 4’s pulse grenades, incineration cannon and of course the mantis and I also miss using Halo 3’s active camo, overshield, bubbleshield and my favorite the powerdrain! Reach is keeping me satisfied as far as Xbox 360’s exclusive multiplayer goes.

Looking forward to seeing you guy’s on Reach’s virtual battlefield!!!

I wish there were more people like you, unfortunately Reach is probably the deadest out of 3, Reach, and 4.

I probably enjoyed that game the most, but it lost a lot of fans due to the fact 4’s now got a competitive ranking system, and Reach lacks one.

Aw Double Team, I miss those nights of 25 straight wins in a row…

On a side note, if you do come back to H4 for any reason, I’m game :wink:

I still find myself playing Invasion with my brother from time to time. I must say that unlike many in the community, I liked the preset loadout system the Reach had. However excessive bloom on the precision rifles, slow movement speed, and no bleedthrough hurt the multilayer experience for me. If Reach had Halo 4’s fast movement speed and killtimes, I can guarantee you that I would be playing Reach constantly.

As much as I loved Reach, AL was just annoying enough for me to not want to play it as much as the other titles. AL was just to much of a “time out” in the middle of a game for me.

I’ve been splitting my time between Reach & 4. Slowly grinding my way to 1000 games for the last Waypoint unlock (Raider DSTT) in 4. Then I jump into the Anniversary Playlist for some old school action.
