I only ever played reach multiplayer. Thought it was awesome. So if halo 2 Is better till be nothing short of amazed 

Personally I thought that Halo Reach had the worst multiplayer in the whole series. But, that doesn't mean that Halo: Reach multiplayer is truly bad, it's just that the others were better. The fact that somebody like yourself who hasn't played the other games' multiplayer can enjoy it is a testamount to just how good Halo is; you know a series is good when even the worst game in it is fun. I think you're in for a real treat though since you haven't played the others.

The main reason that many classic Halo players like myself usually consider Halo: Reach (or Halo 4) to be the worst is because of the number of changes that were made to the formula; "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". Most classic Halo players consider the BR to be the best Halo weapon, and Bungie completely removed it from Reach. Also, the armor abilities had some balancing issues, especially armor lock. And Halo 4 repeated many of those mistakes, and made all new ones. But the reason that I think Reach is worse than Halo 4 is because 343 actually fixed some of Halo 4's issues over time, Bungie never did that with Reach, I guess they were just too busy developing Destiny to care. But Reach was still pretty fun despite it's issues, just frustrating at times.


So stoked now! Thank god I preordered it lol
