What's the point of reviewing a 6 year old game on a forum where 99% of the posters have already played it?
The point of every review that's ever existed? To give your organized opinion on something.
that's definitely not the reason for most reviews tbh and you know this

Only insofar as there are guns. Armor abilities weren't the only diverging mechanic. Loadouts alone - There are no loadouts.... I have already mentioned in the review, that people start of with a armor ability, you can not choose weapons or anything. - with were a huge step away from core classic Halo gameplay. Across the board, map design was extremely different too - Yea, the maps were not the best, but Reach did have some really good maps, like paradiso, Spire, Countdown. Map quality is not a feature of classic halo. - (reach's maps were the worst the series had seen by a long shot before halo 4 came out). Then there's the addition of bloom & different player physics. Again... read the whole review, bloom is mentioned,

Maybe you're talking out of your ass because you never really played the good Halo games - I have played every single Halo game (spartan Assault/Strike/Halo Online are jokes so they don't count) , or maybe you have played them and are just bad/retarded - I could beat your ass anyday on Halo 2 Classic, or Reach. , but anyone with half a brain who has played CE/H2/H3 can see that Reach's default multiplayer is almost NOTHING like them. It takes some steps away from them, but is not that different.
what the fuck is this post formatting? are you high?

False. Tons of playlists in Reach where you choose different weapons via loadout menu. Paradiso and Spire were awful. Countdown wasn't terrible but it wasn't good. The only good map in that game was Zealot, and even then they had to remove the space level to make it playable from a competitive standpoint. You couldn't beat me in any Halo game because I'm actually good and you have a bunch of water in your skull where your brain should be.
*Sigh*  Invasion is literally the only mode where you can choose your loadout. You spent way too much time in customs. Paradiso was an awesome, map. It was vehicle focused map. Spire offered many types of engagements.
I could easily beat you.
Invasion was not the only loadout playlist, what the fuck are you talking about? I almost never played custom games. Those maps were fucking garbage.

And, just for the record.

if someone's new to a given series, it can be interesting to see their impressions of it from a modern perspective

that's why i've played through and reviewed half-life 2, halo 1, and fallout 3 last year

and i'll be doing the same for dark souls

That's a tertiary reason some people read reviews, but it's certainly not the reason they exist or why people write them.

Reach was worse than Halo 4, and that's saying something
Got an argument to back that up?

what you dont think people write reviews thinking someone might decide whether to buy it based on what you say

is that not why people put in "if youre thinking of buying this game"

It's not a Halo thread until some halftard posts something patently wrong about the games. I just don't like when people spread bad information is all, and it so happens that a lot of the people on this forum who post about Halo are thumbless morons.

Good reviewers don't write because they want to influence game sales, they do it because they want to give their two cents on the game's quality.

I'm not arguing against you there. But in every situation where you've asserted somebody is wrong about x feature of a Halo title, you invariably bring up their stats compared to yours, as if their authority on understanding certain features of the game hinges solely on how they perform competitively.

Pay for my xbox live and Reach download and sure. If not, I cannot acquiesce. And, once again, the "1v1 me bro" thing is one of those things people say when they're really fucking bad and can't defend themselves with stats or logic.

That's because there's a direct correlation between how good someone is at Halo and their opinion on the games, usually. I've been around for long enough to be able to tell when I'm speaking to someone who I probably would have held the objective on if I had played against them. Bad Halo players tend to never have anything useful to say about the games beyond things that are extremely obvious. And TBQH I like poking fun at them. it's almost as fun as spawn trapping.

Not so much of a problem, more of an amusing sight.

I haven't seen someone statcheck since I was last on battlelog a year and a half ago and even then it was a rare sight.

I'd say he understands it fine, for reach at least. Sure, you can't generalise and say that reach was the perfect cookie cutter halo formula, but it was still a good game in it's own right. OP likes it, you don't but because you have a higher body count that... invalidates his experience and opinions?

By that measure, I could shut down anyone on this forum's gripes with Battlefield because i've got some unholy stats in it... Except I wouldn't, because that would be pretty childish.
