#1 It was more fair for everyone, something the FIRST halo actually had.

#2 Halo has NEVER-EVER-EVER-EVER been about skill, I can’t believe people keep saying this. Bullet magnetism and slight log-on is not skill, Halo has always been BAM HEADSHOT! BAM HEADSHOT! and Reach changed that. It was very, very easy to get a head shot in halo 3 or 2.

#3 MASSIVE improvment for custom games and forge

#4 Great storyline.

#5 Some pretty cool weapons and vehicles.

#6 Forge World.

#7 Fair ranking system.

2

you misspelled ‘did’.

Nope, actually I didn’t spell “did” at all, because that would completely change what I meant, and only immature little whiners would say “did”

Go away, if you played the game then the evidence is there.

there went any hope of this being a sarcastic thread.

halo:ce was about skill. every halo has.

the matchmaking system was terrible and rewarded stat--Yoink!- over teamwork.

it introduced more randomness into shooter mechanics.

seriously? you are in the minority on this one. why do you think people are so wary of 343?

12

I’m trying to figure out what this has to do with halo 4.

13

Thanks OP, I needed a good laugh.

14

Guys, the STATS AND NUMBERS are what count, there are now MUCH FEWER people in Halo 3 then Halo Reach.

You have to give credit to reach where it deserved it.

You didn’t have to come to this thread to have one, just look at your feet. Oh wait, you can’t…

Nothing?
Report and move on so someone can move this thread where it belongs :slight_smile:

17

wow, less people in a 5 year old game compared to a 2 year old have? no way.

oh yeah, forgot to point out that 3 had higher numbers at this point in it’s release…oh and reach sold less overall by millions.

18

Reach is absolutely awful. The only redeemable qualities it has is Forge, hitscan, netcode, and the MLG playlist (which took a year to become good thanks to the lack of a TU)

Thanks man. This is the funniest thread I’ve seen all night.

I seem to think differently along with thousands of other people.

Trust me when I say the majority disliked Reach.
