Halo: Reach

Re: Halo: Reach

Loved the campaign and the online is very cool as well, but did anyone else enjoy Halo 3's multiplayer more? I thought the powers like armor shield and jet pack were cool, but it seems like its been an utter cheese fest with those powers lately. Also, I think I liked the maps in 3 better.

I liked the maps on 3 but hated the gameplay. Take out the BR then I love 3.

OMG, the last time I played there was a guy with the Hero Rank....:0

WHAT?!

I like Reach's multiplayer more than 3, although Halo 2 and CE have better multiplayer than both of them.

to me the multiplayer on 3 and Reach are different entities. It's not like CoD where you can compare them all together because they are so similar. Halo 3 multiplayer will always be special to me and I've kept my ODST disc so I can go back and play it from time to time. Reach, it just feels great. The armor abilities are well done and the new weapons and weapon bloom work great. I like the new game modes as well, team headhunter is just all sorts of crazy.

As for the maps, I wasn't too big of a fan of the maps in Halo 3 with the exception of a few. I was more of a Halo 2 map guy, and I think Reach's maps have a Halo 2 feel to them, and I like that.

Agreed, they really are quite different.

Halo 2 maps all the way. The map set in H2 is probably my favorite in an FPS.

In what way, they seemed pretty balanced to me. I typically use sprint and those abilities seemed balanced. With the armor guys, I do the typical toss a grenade and lookout for the backup coming. As far as jetpacks, I just try to sprint under them so they have to turn around in the air and it throws their aim off.

I think mostly I am talking about the armor, its just been instances where the entire team will get armor and just stay in one place, idk it just seemed like a cheesefest when I was playing in the game.

I think Black Ops helped me shake the remaining rust of my reflexes. Played SWAT last night for around 3 hours and my average ratio was around 20/10 or something like that. Can't wait for more maps.
