I started playing Reach again today, and god dam-mit it was fun. Playing Halo 4 made me appreciate Reach much more now. Reach just has so many more maps and it feels more like Halo with no loadouts and such. Im going to continue to play until I hit Reclaimer to get that last helmet (currently a Forerunner) so I got some work to do.
yes reach is better, i went on it today and it takes much more skill to hit shots and you can actually strafe.
people said reach was bad but thats only because they believed halo 4 was going to be better.
IMO if they just fixed the inconsistencies in reach and removed the health bar and system it would be a heaps better game
I like both, but I prefer Reach.
ain’t played h4 yet,so i’m kinda stuck liking reach lol,in all honesty though iv’e always liked reach so i ain’t complaining
Only the anniversary maps/gametypes because of the maps and dat pistol. Aside from that Halo 4 is superior, lol Reach.

Yes, i have this awkward feeling i’m going to love it, but in all honest i haven’t played it yet. i will buy it around Christmas-time, because those discounts are jummy!
Reach has a charm to it that Halo 4 simply does not have. Halo 4 however, has no charm at all
both…but i may go back to Reach.
I went back to Halo: Reach a few times already - it was actually quite a bit of fun. They really need to add in a few playlists (which they seem to have raided and decimated leading up to Halo 4 - perhaps to mimic what they think is the ideal playlist design of having only six or seven total), but aside from the usual poorly-implemented mechanics that I have always found tolerable anyways, it was a good experience - as usual. If they brought Anniversary Big Team back, I would probably play it more than Halo 4. At its core, Halo 4 is a better game - I’ll give it that. However, between having a more pleasing user interface, menu music that can be turned off, a superior active roster, Firefight, campaign scoring, a more versatile Theater, a longer progression system, a ranked playlist, and - most importantly of all - the classic Slayer style of Halo (map control, fixed power weapons), Halo: Reach wins out in the details.
I definitely prefer Halo: Reach over Halo 4 at this point, but I’m not allowing myself to go back to Reach just yet. I’m trying to hold out hope that the game of the present and future (Halo 4) will improve and I will be able to enjoy it as much if not more than the game of the past (Halo: Reach). There’s just something about hanging around in a game that isn’t current that isn’t satisfying to me, but if changes aren’t made to Halo 4, I might just say “screw it” and go back to Reach for good.
Reach had charm??? It’s better than Halo 4???
WTF am I reading?!! My eyes!! my eyes!!
Only because Reach has Mjolnir 5

Halo 4 has more potential than Reach… But as it stands, more can currently be done/put to playable use in Reach’s Forge/custom games/ theater… Custom games alone currently is the reason I went out and bought a second copy of Reach the other day.
I’ve been Halo 4 on and off since release but I find it almost impossible to like it, Reach is much more fun 
Halo 4 is bringing a fresh new outlook to the game, I love the mechanics. Frankly, if you complain about these aditions you are as bad as those kids from the Halo Reach release.
Don’t get me wrong, I loved Reach. I just feel that Halo 4 is the better game, I hope that Halo 4 does not follow Reach’s path and continues to get better.
I like Reach a lot more. Thats not saying I hate 4. Its great. Reach is just greater.
SWAT is better on Reach.
I won’t ever forget reach best halo game ever after halo 4 I might go back to reach get Inheritor and some other stuff commedations ect ect…
Playing Halo 4 made me appreciate Reach a whole lot more, especially the parts I took for granted.
I always loved Reach, Halo 4 just made me love it more.
