Halo: Reach is objectively the best Halo Game

Tackel · May 04, 2015, 11:49:47 AM

Pros:
- Solid gameplay
- Fun campaign
- Most usable and user friendly Forge in the series
- Most customizable custom games
- Armor customization
- Best file browsing system in the series
- Get to play as your own character
- Big improvements for community creations (screenshots, machinima, etc)
- Lots of Matchmaking variety
- Firefight
- Dat UI

Cons:
- Follows lesser known characters during the Fall of Reach
- Matchmaking differs from previous game
- Spartans make for a less exciting Firefight mode

If you think otherwise, you need some cream for your butthurt.

I agree. Multiplayer was always fun and required you to be more resourceful than the other Halo games.

I understand alot of Reach's critisisms: (Bloom, Poorly ballaned AAs, a few canon issues and the lack of a proper competitive envirionment) However its Pro's far more than made up for it's Cons.

Big team, invasion and infection was always a blast and there were always new things to do with new custom games and forge Gadgets being created all the time.

Reach truly was the best game

Ásgeirr · May 04, 2015, 12:56:53 PM

I enjoyed it the most too.

The Lord Ruler · May 04, 2015, 12:59:08 PM

i always enjoyed it

CK97 · May 04, 2015, 01:22:54 PM

I enjoyed it, but it definitely deserves some of the criticism it gets. Custom
games are easily the best part.

Not 'lesser known' characters. Bullshit characters that were contrived when there was at least 25there to use.

There's also the "every custom map was just Forge World" bit. Which became every map on matchmaking.

REACH? is that one of those gun games

- Solid gameplay

So are you ignoring:
AAs
Bloom
Sword block
No bleedthrough
Loadouts
Paper vehicles
Shit weapon sandbox balancing

Quote

- Fun campaign

top lol
It has the worst in the series by far

Quote

- Most usable and user friendly Forge in the series

H2A exists, so nope

Quote

- Most customizable custom games

Besides the fact that there's gametypes you can't make in Reach that were in 3?

Quote

- Get to play as your own character

"character"
A plot vehicle (lol what plot?) isn't a character

Quote

- Firefight

Was a shitspam fest of credit farming, jetpacks and fuel rods

tl;dr reach is awful and kill yourself :)

gats · May 04, 2015, 04:04:58 PM

there was quite a bit i didn't like about it but i did enjoy playing it tbh

Azure · May 04, 2015, 04:13:43 PM

yeah but all the community maps had no difference, being on the same big ass map.

RomanGladiator · May 04, 2015, 06:01:28 PM

Content wise I'd agree with you.

A Cheese Potato · May 04, 2015, 07:11:52 PM

Halo Reach was so bad that it actually changed me from a casual gamer that only player Halo into an actual gamer with different tastes

Just because something's different doesn't mean it's bad. The fact that Reach is sitting around 20k players 5 years after launch means it did something right.

I take it you're not a Forger then, other words you'd know the countless lighting/scripting/object spawning problems H2A Forge has. At this time, Reach is still the best.

Like what? Most Halo 3 customs could be made in Reach, and even newer and better customs were made in Reach.

If you played Arcade. Plenty of other game modes that offered survival shit. That said, Firefight isn't just in Matchmaking.

Azumarill · May 04, 2015, 08:23:37 PM

friendly reminder that halo 4 had a much better forgemode

both games are still trash

Girl of Mystery · May 04, 2015, 08:45:56 PM

But seriously though, as someone who basically only cares about the campaigns/stories, Reach is objectively the worst by a looooooooong shot.

If it's by campaign and story, I'd say ODST is the worst. At least we got to see some new environments and shit with Reach, and some actual story, even thought there wasn't much. ODST we get jack and explore the boring streets of New Mombassa.

Gameplay wise, both campaigns are great though.

You either don't Forge or need to kill yourself.
