Trash-tier game that ruined what was, up to that point, my favorite series of all time. Fucking garbage game that was more interested in chasing shitty CoD trends than improving Halo. Loadouts, reticle bloom, and armor abilities ruined Halo.

At least the single player campaign was good. But we all know you bought Halo for multiplayer, and Reach multiplayer was a drastic and embarrassing downgrade for absolutely no reason. And it straight-up destroyed Halo esports.

The game killed Halo. Bungie didn't even want to make it, and it showed. But they were forced to in order to get their independence from Microsoft (along with ODST). Bungie wanted Halo 3 to be the end of the franchise. But M$ refused to let them stop making their cash cow. So they basically just used it as practice for the game they really wanted to make (Destiny, with more extensive loadout customization and more extensive abilities).

I will never understand why so many people love the game that ruined one of the greatest franchises of all time.

Campaign was great
Forge at the time was great and allowed for tons of fun custom games

Yeah the basic multiplayer wasn't as good as the others but if you didn't care much about the arena stuff it was a blast IMO

Infinite seems to be striking a good balance between pleasing the esports crowd and the people that just wanna fuck around and have fun

One of my favorite Halo games. I know a lot of people hated it, but I loved armor lock. One time in beta we decided to camp the upper elevator of the small map and all 4 of us had armor lock. You would think this would cause us to lose, but it must of really titled the other team and they kept blindly charging us and we won.

I have mixed feeling about reticle bloom. On one hand, throwing luck into shooting is a bad idea. On the other, I loved how you needed to pace your shots*, especially since you want get in body shots with the DMR and then get in a narrow headshot once their shield is down.

*From my understanding this wasn't how it worked at high level play. But I don't get a shit about e-sports so I didn't care.

One of the only Halo games I played extensively and tolerated its multiplayer.

Funny enough, out of all the skills I wound up using the Sprint the most.

One of my favorite Halo games. I also consider "ruined halo esports" as a massive positive so that was just funny to me.

i remember dropping my cousin off at the Gamestop for the midnight release, and the line was all the way around the building.

I went to the mom and pop movie rental/game store to see if they were doing anything, and walked out 2 minutes later with a copy because no one else had gone there. ended up playing it 5 hours before my cousin got to.

EDIT: i used to be a god in SWAT. didn't really play the other modes too much. BTB sometimes. Invasion (the spartans vs elite with the capture/defend the spire) was meh.

Reach was the last great Halo game, 343 is a 3 time loser when each and every Halo game has been worse then the one before it with Halo Infinite being so boring I only finished the first level.

Most if not every Halo game before it has the first level is great and it begins strong. Infinite is also the only Halo game I have not finished the campaign and actually had no interest in doing so which really speaks to how lame it is.

Heh. This happened to me the one time I did a midnight release.

GameStop was sold out three hours ahead of time. But I walked right into Walmart and got mine at 12:38, no line no nothin'.

2 made me sad because it got rid of my favorite co-op tactic:

Have your buddy charge in and stick a grenade to his dome once he reaches the enemies.

Reach had too many easy and safe tricks to really say that, imo. By far the easiest SLASO.

2 was just mean.

Definitely my favorite halo for campaign and multiplayer. Old Halo has its own charm, but grew to feel slow, and I always loved large maps. Invasion was my favorite game type by far. Haven't played any of the new Halo beyond 4's campaign, but I might hop back on that horse if they have an even bigger Invasion-like gametype.

Beyond that, it's also the only Halo that actually looks like Halo to me. Before Reach it's plastic toys, after Reach it's a billion tiny parts of questionable tactical value glued to a suit. Reach had heft, armor looked practical, looked like it had seen use.

Never played it.
I didn't get into 1 or 2, enjoyed 3 decently from a gameplay standpoint, odst was whatever.
I have absolutely no interest in Halo lore, I didn't even bother learning what 99% of things were called, maybe ODST being story focused drove me away from the series.

Were the vehicles fun in Reach? Vehicles in multiplayer were the standout thing for me in Halo 3.
