Halo Reach or Halo 5

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.

Sauce.

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 :stuck_out_tongue:

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.

They really add an extra, class-like element to the gameplay that I sorely miss. Why aren’t shooters allowed to have extra elements to them? Why do they have to be just purely shooting, with zero defensive abilities? Also, Reach had the best maps, by far (Countdown, Sword Base).

I’m in my forties, & think Reach is still the best story of the series for me. It had the best looking armor, weapons AND, it had the Falcon.

I wouldn’t really blame Reach for what’s happened to Halo. I’d blame 343 for carrying on with the same mechanics when it was obvious most of the community hated it.

Shooters are allowed to have extra elements in them, there’s no problem there. The problem that arose (at least for me, and others) as far as Reach is concerned is that it moved away from the pillar concepts of equal starts and, so to speak, a level playing field… With the armor abilities thrown into play, there was no cohesive way to use tactics and strategies against a good deal of the abiltiies.

In essence, randomness. Halo 4 continued this trend. Halo 5 is where equal starts were put back on the forefront. The Spartan Abilities, unlike the armor abilities before them, can be anticipated and worked around, and additionally, none of them disrupt the flow of combat as severely as Armor Lock.

Also, the highlighted simply isn’t true, you can easily use thruster pack as a defensive measure, I’ve found it particularly useful in situations where 3+ enemies start charging towards my position with bullets flying in my direction.
