| kowenicki said: I really do not get this. Reach is quite a bit better than Halo 3 in every aspect imo, and the opinion of most who have played both. The reviewers seem to be out of sync with the rest of us on this one. Reach is one of the finest FPS packages ever released. Excellent production, great campaign, perfect and substantial multiplayer... etc etc. I havent read all of the reviews... what are the common gripes?

Their is a lot of hate on the bungie forums though;..
If I would summarize what I read the last few weeks on the forums:
* 90% of what is changed between Halo 3 and Halo reach make it worse*.
- The new weapons mostly suck.
- The maps are worse than Halo 3's maps and get pretty tiredsome soon..It also not helps to
have some halo 2 maps in a new jacket..
- The armor abilties are more annoying than fun...Nothing is so fun like someone who goes invisible whole match ;
- Issues with the playlists (to much infection to much swat) but Bungie is making more playlist...Team Swat is already up and Infection will be relaesed somewhere at the end of this month..
- The challenges/CR is splitting the fanbase in two...Nothing is so annoying as team mates who play bad simply because they are doing something for the challenges or getting commondations. Their was thread that said you need to get 22 million CR points to get to the highest ranks (not LT Colonel, the ranks will be later available this year or next year). That is around 50.000 matchmaking matches....That is why their are so many CR farmers (sword base/gruntacoplypse). Makes the game feel more like COD then Halo
-The campaign is okay some say it sucks some say it is great but I guess it is for the average bungie.net forum member 'Okay' and worse than halo 3's campaign.
Etc..
I agree with some points especially weapons and maps...I enjoy the forge world maps the most and sword base..But the rest are mediocre for me as best.
The Halo fans were way more happy with Halo 3 then Halo reach so yes I understand the lower review scores, I think it would be way less than 92 if the Bungie;net forum member may vote.
