I love the Reach campaign and would never call it a failure. The multiplayer, though, was broken to the core.


"Wanna roadkill that guy over there? Too bad, he would destroy your vehicle using his armor lock.

Wanna stick him with a plasma grenade instead? For shame, armor lock would prevent his death as well.

Then how about that guy over there? Surely you should be able to take him out using your DMR? Oh wait, I forgot all about his evading ability. The very second you start dropping his shields he is able to roll his way to safety and recover. My bad."


That kind of stuff interfered way too much with the gameplay for my taste, and as a result I went back to Halo 3 whenever I felt like playing some competitive multiplayer. Less bullshit makes it more enjoyable.

Halo 4 hit the right balance in my opinion. The closest they come to BS is the Jetpack, but it's not a big deal since most people who use it are terrible at aiming anyway while the overall amount of Jetpack users seems to be extremely low.

Halo reach campaign was decent, i still think the first 3 halo campaigns were better.
Im currently playing Halo 4 campaign and im pleasently reminded of the halo 1 days, full of mystery and unknown. so far so good. Im only on the 3rd mission.
Halo Reach multiplayer killed halo for me. I was such a huge fan but man that multiplayer turned me off. that is why halo reach imo should be considered the worst halo and even a failure.

halo 4 multilayer is better but honestly it can do away with the loadouts, armor abilities, cheap drops, etc.
I kind of hate bungie for taking halo in this direction and forcing 343 to sort of include the dumb armor abilities. Who was the wise guy that demanded change in halo 3?

Reach was not a disappointment. So far Halo 4 is great also.

I loved Reach, but love Halo 4 more.

I don't think there has been a bad Halo game, or even a mediocre one. They have all been great and in my opinion no Halo game released should have gotten less than a 9/10.
