Granted halo reach did some things wrong but in my opinion it did more things better, Firefight, invasion, SOCIAL PLAYLISTS!!! a deep customization system and forge all stuff halo 5 shipped without, not to mention how machinima friendly it was. My problem is that halo “vets” seem to think halo games are JUST made for them but fail to see that 40% of the halo community is casual. If you don’t like reach fine but you must know that some people like reach, I even think its the best halo IN MY OPINION!!! I just know some -Yoink- is going to call me out on that but hey I don’t care, Im not going to call you out if you think halo 2 is the best.

> How old are you? Do you have selective memory? The vast majority definitely frowned upon reach. I loved reach as much as anybody but when it released my halo 3 team wouldn’t even play it. The competitive crowd hated reach for the most part. Jet pack was way op, armor lock was armor lock, it did the unthinkable by introducing Sprint. (which I loved) everyone hated the dmr and the introduction of bloom. I could go on but you get the picture. Halo reach was the biggest departure from core halo gameplay to date. Once mlg playlists were added more people jumped on board but nothing even close to what once was. I had no issues with any of these features. One thing about halo community they hate change. Also everyone is praising reaches campaign but I don’t see people -Yoinking!- about the fact that reach wasn’t a master chief campaign but in halo 5 people are crying because the entire game isn’t MC. I played reach a few days ago and the frame rate is a slide show after playing halo 5.
Reach was a different game from your average halo with MC, which is why it was more forgiven. H5 advertised MC and that’s why people expected him for more than 3 missions. Me personally, MC isn’t what makes halos campaign so I’m cool with no MC. I will say Locke didn’t really get my attention though.
You’re pin point on reach starting the downfall of competitive halo. It was a really great social game IMO however.
Armor lock really annoyed me. Jetpack depended on the moment. Neutral on sprint. Loved the dmr, still do in h4 and h5.

I agree, Halo reach made me become less interested in Halo.
The only thing Reach did well that I like was the UI, single player mode and Armour customisation. I though the MP was one of the worst (Halo 4 being the worst) out of all the Halo game.
Though Halo 5 has some things I’m not too happy with/impressed with, I like it a lot more then Reach. So no I wont be playing reach. I’ll play TMCC before reach any day of the week!!

Halo 5’s filebrowser that’s coming is what has already killed forge for the forge community. It’s a step down from both Halo 3 and Reach.

In its present form, sure, but hopefully they will improve it in coming updates.

Halo 5 has actually received mostly positive feedback. It’s definitely the best received Halo since Halo 3. There’s just a vocal minority that pray to Bungie at night and must post anti-343 related things every 7 seconds.

Which is why Halo 5 is the thirteenth most played Halo game right now one month after release and Reach was top 6 right up until Halo 4 came out.
I love all Halos tbh
I liked Halo Reach as one of my all time favorites. The style was so good, the metal looking armor, the sounds, it just felt believable. Also the gameplay and campaign was great and firefight was awesome but the style is what I miss

Again… Reach beat out the rest of the Halo games for BC votes. So either the majority of the community doesn’t hate it, or the community you’re thinking of moved on to something besides Halo awhile ago.

it beat other halo games? why because halo 1-4 was already on xbox one, only games left were reach and halo wars…
halo reach is a good halo game and followed the previous halo games well i dont get why people hate the game so much im playing it again once its on xbox one.

Armour Lock and bloom. Those were the main reasons I disliked the game.
The funniest thing to me is that when Halo Reach came out, a significant amount of people were up in arms about the changes & now people are crying to go back to it. When H7 comes out, people will cry about returning to the glory days of H5, bunch of -Yoink- children is what a significant portion of you act like.
If this doesn’t apply to you, then keep on keeping on.
Reach being the first console halo game I played is very fun and was fantastic for its time, but going back to reach in backwards compatibility I realise the graphics suck and the movement system is flawed. Don’t get me wrong, I love reach, but halo 5 is just so much better.

Halo 5 now does have:
big team battle
team doubles
team snipers
file share
forge
and a renamed territories (strongholds)
I’m also sure many of those things mentioned will be added in future updates, or as weekend playlists. They will continue to add large things in each update to keep the game fresh for old players.
They eft could do with the halo reach/4 map voting system though 
Halo Reach was good when bloom was removed. If bloom is still in then H5 all day every day.

Armor lock was really fun for some modes… In fact, i really like all of the AA’s in invasion and BtB.
Bloom can die in a fire.
Zero Bloom setting with melee bleed through was great.
