Seems Reach is the lesser of 2 evils (halo 4)

Games Other Halo

I know Reach had it’s problem with armor lock, all the abilities being spammed all the time but Halo 4 basically just copy’s it, makes it even worse.

I lost interest in halo 4 campaign, I was just replaying Reach have to admit Reach wasn’t as bad as the new one. Yes it may have had it’s problems but at least it didn’t make banshee’s severly restricted as reach. I’m personally considering sticking to playing with halo reach since the multiplayer seems to be a lot more fun, not over-using heavy weapons in slow area’s like halo 4 does.

This is was cool… But that about it.

But back to reach please.

I haven’t gotten halo 4 yet, but a lot of my friends that have halo 4 say they still think halo reach is a better game. So it’s making me possibly think of not getting it, but I still will buy it due to my halo reach being cracked. Aswell the population is a bit lower on reach.

Mines cracked too. Getting a little bigger and bigger every month, growing from the hole at the center. Don’t what I’ll do.

Either buy another Reach or Halo of Duty. Might go for H4 if they update forge and custom games options befor Christmas. If not, sorry. Reach just meets what I’m looking for better. Custom games options = re-playable = reach

Yah well Tim, if you think about getting another halo reach or just go to halo 4 let me know. Your basically my halo mentor hahaha. I still enjoy halo reach, and I think it may be a better game than halo 4.

Halo 4 is just about grinding to find out what’s at the max rank just like reach but reach’s physic’s don’t seem as bad which is why I think reach did a better job even if it didn’t feel like halo.

Godd to see that I’m not the only one who thinks that way. I just hit sr40 and I’m already tired of this game (as it is until now). Almost everything they used to “improve” multiplayer is ennoyinging me more with every match I play. Atm I regret buying the LE. I hope 343 acctually works with the critic they get in the forum but I highly doupt that…

Yesterday I played a couple team slayer matches and to be honest, I enjoyed it very much.No instant-respawn, no running (exept you have AA), no random power weapons for everyone, less ennoying AA, no custom load-outs,etc…

So until they make major changes with Halo 4, I return to Reach if I feel like playing Halo.

If I think about it, it’s acctually sad but necessary

Halo Reach is by far the best Halo game. I still go back and play the campaign levels just because its so darn cool! Multiplayer is by far my favorite. However when Halo 4 came out the campaign levels lacks creativity. Every time its just a gigantic spam of enemies with little thought put into it. I know this post will get tons of hate cuz I think Reach is the best but ya’ll can just -BLAM!-

It’s a good thing the Reach TU playlists are still at their normal population. Might head back to Reach once I get my fill of Assassin’s Creed 3 for the day.

The multiplier aspect of Halo 4 does borrow pretty heavily from call of duty, but the additions don’t in my opinion detract from the core gameplay in any way, for example giving everyone the ability to sprint just speeds up the pace of things a little. You can also escape the armor abilities and perks if you play slayer pro, but I’ve found these to again be nice new features that just build on the fundamental gameplay of Halo. I’ve got a few problems such as I dont like joining games midway through, its just not really fair to be lumped with a losing team, but overall I have to conclude this is the most fun ive had playing Halo in a long time. The return of the Battle Riffle alone was enough to secure it as a better online experience than reach for me.

11

I like Reach, -Yoink- the haters. I never played 2 or 3 online though, so I might just not know any better.

12

Remember Reach.

This game is a ton of a lot better than Call of Duty vs. Halo.

13

If they make Limited a Playlist again separate from Arcade, so I can just match up with the other Limited 200 players in Firefight and they placed Evade back into it. I would return Reach.

Reach’s campaign was by far one of the worst stories ever told. They made some characters and killed them off. Period. Oh and canon made no sense.

Reach doesn’t have ordnance drops so it wins in MP automatically.

and Reach stayed much closer to its’ roots than Halo 4 does… Blows my mind when I see someone trying to praise Halo 4’s MP for being “more like Halo 3” while they go off on a tangent and bash Reach. Sorry…but that doesn’t fly…

reality: Halo 3 > Reach >>>>>>>>>> Halo 4.

Halo 3 > Reach? Debatable. as far as forge, Reach. Gameplay. I didn’t like the controls but I enjoyed multiplayer. I think it poorly handled how I connect with friends. Reaches main menue/ game loby set up was vastly superior. Matchmaking, Halo 3 was GREATEST in making matches of equal skill. Thats about it. If Reach did one thing worse than any oher Halo, it was how poorly it set up matches.

Do you guys remember the first version of TU? It bsically tried to copy Halo 3 as exactly as possible. I could show you this Perfection I got… It is a perfect example of the biggest fail of Halo 3. Melee bleedthrough. But before I do, I will point to numbers every one can check for themselves. When Bungie left Halo, they totaled almost every halo stat ever gathered. In Halo 3, most deaths were Melee. In Halo Reach, most deaths where Headshots. When Halo: Reach’s fist TU had bleedthrough, notice how much strong my melee is, even before I pick up a sword (I didn’t even go for sword, the enemy just brought it to me, so I don’t want to hear crap about how I just hogged the sword)

Kinda irked me that it got a dislike. I’m all "why you no like? I cant do better than a perfect game. So I obviously enjoyed Reach with bleedthrough, I mean… I do like winning. However I don’t thing the skill gap should ever be that wide and defeat so crushing. Bleedthrough belongs in MLG where the whole point of the game is to separate the good, the bad and the ugly. But it doesnt belong in general matchmaking where children play.

What was my point? Oh, Reach tried to copy Halo 3 and it wasnt a good idea. Halo 3 was good at what it did, Reach was good even much better at other things. (Forge, gameplay (minus AL), Lobby, custom games, shield pop)

You know I sort of agree right? The problem with Halo 4 is it expanded on the things that most people hated about Reach, made more annoying abilities. Reach may have had it’s flaws but it did keep more to it’s roots while halo 4 didn’t even try.

I’ll eventually buy. Either if its fixed and worth the 60 bucks or just drops in price.

As it stands I’ll just keep doing this in Reach with my best teammates.

I have both but I would rather play Reach over halo 4 anyway but just grinding tha pathetic ranking system on halo 4 then back to reach to get my skull then probably get back to playing halo 3.
