Subject: After going back to halo 3

I thought I was enjoying reach, I was beginning to think it was a pretty good game. Then I went back and played halo 3.

Wow halo 3 is soooooo much better than reach. Why did bungie think hampering you at every turn was a good idea? H3 feels like reach except every part of the gameplay was made more over the top and fun. I dont understand the thought process of bungie. Its like they looked at halo 3 and said "this is too much fun, lets bring it down a notch".

Yes I get that they wanted to make it more "realistic"(lolwut we are fighting giant battletoads) and "grounded", but its simply not as much fun as the previous games.

You know what the sad part is? This is the EXACT same scenario that I found myself in 3 years ago. H3 was just h2, made less fun. It was slower and felt more random. Why did they do the same thing again?

Oh and dont say "adapt" or you dont want change etc. Ive played about 300 games of the BETA and im fairly good at it, ive adapted. I also was looking forward to change because like I said above halo 3 was not exactly my favourite halo game. The problem is they made the exact same changes I hated from h2-h3 again. I dont hate change, I hate THESE changes. STOP MAKING THE SAME CHANGES.

I have to say, the more I played Reach, the more I liked it, but then I went and played H3, and I realized just how far Reach needs to go to even match H3 in terms of game play. Bungie's got their work cut out for them if they want Reach to be the definitive game in the series.

That is merely logic, people are not moved by logic. ~Mithos

it's true. I've also been playing a lot of halo CE multiplayer. they're soooooo good, I feel like an actual spartan instead of a whimp dependant on new toys.

Care to explain why? I really cant even see the underlying reasoning one might have.

I will not join any groups, if you are about to send me a message about this subject, and you can read, leave now. If you send one anyway, I will simply ignore it. Let me put it this way, when I am willing to join I will find a group I like and join, or i would already be in it. Thank you for your offers but I am not looking right now.

Anyone who compares Reach to Halo 3 (it being a full game and Reach still being a Beta) loses all credibility. Those that go so far as to say Halo 3 is better than Halo 3 loses even more since, again, it's a beta and the Beta has only a small sample of the final game, while Halo 3 has many more features. Also because Halo 3 is different from Reach because it would be boring if it were the same as the last game, and if you don't like it, don't play it, because others really do enjoy it.

The problem here is, the game is virtually done... yes the beta is about refining the tweaking of things such as grenade splash, but what you see is pretty much what your going to get...

In Halo 3 did the beta really change that much from the retail version? ... yeah things such as the trip mine damage did, but these are just parameters... given the release date is a few months away there is no way any major code changes could be feasible.

So whilst its cool to keep telling people to chill out because its a beta I think its important to clarify that this is pretty much Reach multiplayer.

A- If A beta from 2010 cant stand up against a game from 2007 then theres a problem.

B- The halo 3 beta was pretty dame close to the final product.

No Regrets MLG 09

Bungie needs to stop trying to make this game like COD. Halo is nothing like COD and should never try to become like that. If i wanted to play COD gametypes ill go play that but ive played halo since CE and i can say this game feels nothing like halo. After Halo 2 the game went downhill (IN MY OPINION!)

This IS Cydronix, the Semi-Pro, my other account was hacked so this is mine now, thanks!

~Cydronix

Reach needs certain aspects of Halo 3
-The VISOR style HUD & Effects (Makes you feel like you actually are under a helmet and not a floating camera)
-Spartan Speed and Jump Height Slightly increased (This can be done by a game option in the final game probably)
-Slightly more vibrant colors to give it that Halo feel.

Bungie wants people to report bugs and glitches here, not say that they just hate the game. That's what the Reach forum is for.

I agree with you, some little kids might love the loadouts option, I freaking can't stand it, just gimmie a game with the weapons scattered around the map... it is this 'loadout' option that kinda puts a 'forced mode' onto the gameplay.

I appreciate that Bungie are trying something different, but forcing COD style of play just isn't how Halo works... I'm not sure if its something you could ever adapt to.

Considering how tiring it is, after seeing so many of the same threads saying, "Halo 3 is better" in the Reach Feedback forum, I'll keep this short.

People who consider themselves "true fans", meaning the ones who think C.E. was the best, and every Halo gets worse and worse afterward, are delusional.

We have only seen a small part of the full game, and these same people are already saying "this isn't the definitive Halo Bungie, zomg!" Which, as someone who has followed the game from the beginning, I laugh at.

Many, many friends of mine stopped playing Halo, because many other games are much more fast-paced, which was lacking in Halo 3.

Once we started playing Reach, I'll quote one of my friends, he said, "I am in love with Halo again."

Those of you who believe you know better than everyone else, don't realize that change is good, and will be embraced by those outside of the fanbase.

The OPs who post "Halo 3 is better" are kidding themselves.
