…When your comparing things for Halo 5 I lose all interest in your thread and you lose all credibility in my opinion. Reach was an abomination of a story line, and it was a blatant disregard of the deep lore established by many great authors. Multiplayer was alright at best, the only good thing was invasion and some of the weapons. Does anybody else feel this way while reading these forums?
edit** just so were clear, Im stating this because of the lore as my main point of reference for my opinion. ones a (not so great) prequel, the other is a continuation of a new story. comparing two games when Reach didnt even have the decency to follow canon is not right in my opinion.
I personally loved Reach, in every single aspect. The campaign was fun, the multiplayer was full and gripping, the forge and customs options were great, the firefight was fun mainly because of all the custom options, even the theatre was good just because it worked very well and gave a lot of ability to the player. Reach was one of the best in my opinion, close second to Halo 3. I very much enjoy all the games and I am really enjoying 5, but I have to disagree and say Reach was an extremely good game.
Reach was an awesome game. You can’t seperate Reach from 1-3. Its the original trilogy which started it all. I like to keep all the.originals together up till H4. Then it’s separated ;(

what are you talking about?!!! reach was an awesome game!, but reach is reach and halo 5 is halo 5, every game has it’s own iconic things, stop comparing them
Reach hasn’t aged very well in my opinion, blur and clunky movement are kind rough.
I really enjoyed it on its own but man the armor abilities really made multiplayer something I stayed away from save the swat and “classic” playlists.
Say what you want about H5 but at least you have the classic equal blank slate starts
It was considered a good game when it came out. Not without flaws, but still very enjoyable on several fronts.

It’s aged very well to me. The campaign gets better in my opinion as we go on. The one game that hasn’t aged well to me is H3. I can’t get used to the responsiveness of the weapons in H5 (and to an extent H4) and return to the craptacular bullet spread BR without having my college days run through the mud.
In my opinion, Reach has/had the best multiplayer of all the Halo games. Not to take anything away from 3 but I feel matchmaking, modes, and mechanics got fleshed out in Reach.

I very much enjoyed the novel Fall of Reach, and I very much enjoyed the Reach campaign even with the blatant contradictions between the two sources. I also like the gritty dark art style of Reach, the customization system is the best to date In my opinion. Firefight was awesome. The daily and weekly challenges were a cool addition, and Reach had one of, if not the best UI to date.
Out of curiosity how did you like Halo 4?
What is it with this community and bashing on others opinions? Just because mine does not equals your doesn’t mean it’s wrong.
I honestly liked Reach, and prefer it over 3.
As someone who started Playing Halo CE when the controllers were too big for my hands I will say that if there is ever a game similar to Reach again, I’ll find another franchise to follow. The only thing that game did good was UI and Armor customization. Everything else should stay in the past where it belongs.
I think the campaign had good set pieces but I hated the story. They had a perfect opportunity to delve more into the Spartans 2s story on reach and they decided to shoehorn a random spartan 3 team in there that had mjolnir armor because reasons. When it was announced I was super excited because I thought we’d follow a spartan from training to reach.
Also, the voice acting is probably the worst in the series. I could not care about most of the Spartans because their deliveries were so wooden. I knew something was wrong in this department when in the first level the marine reports the covenant being on reach with almost no urgency or concern.
The multiplayer bugged me because all of the maps were ripped out of campaign. Unlike 3 there were no new and interesting maps to explore.
