Sold my Reach like a month after I bought it and I probably played it for a week so it was sitting on my shelf for 3 weeks, the game is a piece of shit in my opinion, I am back to playing halo 3 and enjoying it very much, I have had many good times on there and I like the game alot and it is the core reason I even own an xbox 360, all I read is how garbage reach is and how people like halo 3 better, only reason people play it is because for the social scrubs they see it as the new game that people are playing and don't see how shit it is and they don't care and because it is on the MLG circuit and people will play what is at the tourneys, what I don't understand is that why doesn't MLG broaden there league with the halo titles people love and they can take there picks, people obviously prefer certain titles over others so why not have all the halo games on the MLG circuit, I would only see it as a positive thing for them.

Wow, that post I made a while ago was a lot of anger because of change. Reach is a good game, but with a patch it could be as good as H2. It just took a while to get used to it.

It has it's flaws just like H3 did, but MLG settings are fairly competitive.

I'm definitely wayyyy better at Reach than H3 tho, so maybe my opinion is a little biased.

EDIT: Glad to see both you guys back.

Back but I am only playing halo 3, it's the only reason I own and play on my 360 so I may consider buying reach in a year or so but only for shits and giggles.

I just played Halo 3 tonight and I feel like I have a much more neutral, less nostalgic view of the game. After playing a few games on H3, I've come to the conclusion that Reach is a decent game, but Halo 3 wasn't any better. I remember everyone (me included) complaining about how slow H3 gameplay was and how the shot registration of the BR was brutal due to the spread and non hitscan. Reach has none of those problems, but there are a few new ones. Honestly, the bloom isn't perfect but it doesn't come down to chance very often. People have figured out how to properly use the gun (shooting in a 12,12,1 pattern) and most of the rage has subsided.

I can gaurantee that if you play Reach with an open mind and stick with it, you'll eventually come to like it as much as H3. But to each his own I guess.

Well 3 and reach are totally different and I played it and I really didn't enjoy it, way to easy to headshot with snipe now and the DMR just isn't my cup of tea, I plan on going all the way with halo 3 and thats where I am staying, I watched dallas gameplay this weekend and found it extremely boring as well, I liked it better when there wasn't a medal for everything under the sun and being able to actually out BR when one shot because they choked or they sucked was way to much fun.
