i prefer halo 3. It honestly was a game that took alot more skill. its hard to win if you cant get control of power weapons and thats the way i like it. Halo reach is 2 steps backwards in my opinion.


See IMO Halo 3 has been shown up with Reach. Halo 3 was nothing more than map control. And there is very little strategy other than luck which can take away Map control.

Wrong. Ive played halo 3 probably more than anyone else on this forum and the statement you just said is completly wrong. I would consider my self quite good at halo 3 and gaining map control and weapon control takes skill. Yet even if you dont have them if you are good enough you can break the other teams control. it all just comes down to skill. Skill > Luck or anything else in halo 3.

 

Halo reach and Halo CE, 2, 3 are alike in that they both share the title Halo. Other than that they are so different it isnt even funny. Im glad that people like reach and good for them but most halo purists such as myself are less than pleased with the changes. Halo reach makes it easy for bad people to be just as good as "pro" players. It takes much of the skill out of playing halo.

Nearly every weapon in Reach takes more skill to use then the Halo 3 counter part with the added recticle bloom and bullet spread/tweaks. Even the damn shotgun is harder to kill with.

The only weapon that has been made easier to kill with is the Rocket Launcher and grenades with the added splash damage and overall damage inflicted. IMO they're the only problems with Reach currently.

It is now easier to kill Energy Sword wielders because you can parry the swipe with your fist/gun by meleeing at the same time and the Gravity hammer can be rendered useless with a well timed Armor Lock.
