Forums - Microsoft - Why Reach is Better than Black Ops

Ive enjoyed both games..COD took my attention away from Halo but eventually ill play both. Though the daily challenges for Halo have been kinda disappointing...

Agreed, I was hoping that they would have more variety but its almost always the same thing....at least they are usually easy to get.

I was under the impression that you could do co-op campaign in both games.

Not split screen for black ops. Onlline Only I believe. Does anyone know if you can do 4 player split screen online with the 360 version for black ops. I have only been able to do 2. If thats the case its back to reach when I have more than 1 friend over

I tried the other night with my kids, no go, only 2 player.



I LOVE paying for Xbox Live! I also love that my love for it pisses off so many people.

Dang that really sucks. 4 player split screen is fun, but not the same as 4 player online.

I know, we've been spoiled by Halo.

More Skill Gap , Much more Fun , More Competitive , LagLess , Badass Ranks , Commendations and Daily Challenges.

Black Ops is a GREAT Game but hasnt the awesome conections that Halo Reach has... Black Ops suffers from some LAG not much. Black Ops is much easier to play and the game is FULL of BS , its much better than Mw2 but Bungie once again delivers the best Multiplayer of the year.

Reach is the best online game. Period.

Have you actually played Black Ops or are you just a CoD hater?

1. More skill gap? In Black Ops they cranked up the difficulty greatly from MW2. No deathstreaks to help bad players, more recoils on guns which is harder for bad players, no stopping power so it takes an extra shot or two to kill which is harder, killstreaks don't stack up anymore so now its way harder to reach high killstreaks (a guy with a negative K/D ratio could get a nuke in MW2 easily if he just got to his harriers.

2. More fun? How so? I guess if you like jumping really high its more fun.

3. More competitive what? Okay that's just not true. Black Ops will easily be the biggest game on Gamebattles and sites like Machinima focus mainly on Black Ops now.

4. No lag in Halo? I will say it is better for lag somewhat but its anything but immune to lag. I honestly don't get much lag at all in BO either but if it does it goes into host migration pretty quickly. Haven't had a host migration fail yet either.

5. Badass ranks? Umm okay.

6. Commendations and daily challenges. Well Black Ops has challenges and daily contracts so yeah.

 

So I'm guessing Reach now has about half the people playing online since BO launched.

You sir, sound like a Halo hater.

on skill can you really compare them? They are both FPS, but they are quite different. Halo to me is more of a run and gun reaction type game where in CoD I find my self standing and searching my surroundings more. In halo I almost never am just not moving, I do not snipe that is the only time I can think of to be not moving. Just different play styles. Once my CoD friends ajust to halo they seem to do just fine, and vice versa

Halo is much more skill than Cod... Period... In Cod you kill with 1 shot and the only thing u need to do is CAMPING... Lol its a noob friendly game thats why so many people like it.

its more fun because it take skills to kill people at not randomness kills like Cod.

MLG Flagship game is Halo , 1st team on MLG every championship who finish 1st wins 100 Thousands dollars 2nd team wins 60K and so on and this only in ONE EVENT , there´s 5 to 6 EVENTS every year... On Cod u barely won 1K by year and its not even on MLG... Gamebattles means nothing since its a bunch of noobs playing on it and Halo players just run Customs with MLG settings.

BadAss ranks and not some prestiges shi*.

Black Ops contracts are a lame copy of Reach Challenges / Commendations.

Reach will do fine , populaton will rise when people release the trash Black Ops is.

I agree with Reach Post. Bungie is the best doing online games!
