Campaign Halo 3, multiplayer Halo reach

I'd have to agree with you on that one, except when it comes to heavies halo 3 wins.

Halo reach had a good storyline but not as great as halo 3. MP Halo reach dominates imo the btb heavies could have been better if there werent random suicides happening lol. but overall both were good in their own way,

Halo 3's campaign was way better, thats not to say Halo: Reach's was poor. Halo 3's campaign was deep. it effectivly showed the hardships Cheif faced without Cortana's help, and how he learned that the Arbeiter was as much a victim as him, and how they became freinds against impossible odds, and how learned the Elites could be trusted, given the chance. His emotional reactions are displayed well, given that you can't see his face. And when he is re-united with Cortana, the game essentialy re-ignites the Halo CE mission 'Two Betreyals', to reflect their reunion. The Halo: Reach campaign effectively portrays the fall of Reach, against the Spartans and Reach itself. The way they kill off Jorge first is excellent at portaying that the toughest can fall first, as he is a Spartan II. It also had a very sad ending, seeing your own Spartan make a last stand, knowing he will fall. The way the feelings of Noble Team reflect as they lose more members is also well done.

 

As far as multiplayer is concerned, Its a little more complicated. Halo 3s multiplayer is often said to be flawless, which in many ways, it is. Effectivly balanced weapons, vechicles and equipment, good selection, and good, original maps or well chosen remakes.

 

Halo: Reach's multiplayer, however, had very mixed reveiws. Some of Bungie's ideas were good but they were weighed down by the bad ones. The basic maps were recycled from the campaign and remakes were made on Forge World so the rotation of the satelite on Acension didn't happen. they basic maps were ultimately quite poor and only a small number were really in any way well made for multiplayer. The number of overpowered Items was high. The Armour Lock being the most infamous. Explosions were too powerful, and many balanced aspects from the beta were toned down for no reason (Plasma Luancher tracking) and many overpowered aspects were left untouched (as previously mentioned, Armour Lock). The good aspects included the addition of sprint, intresting new vechicles, much more armour customisation. The ranking system required no skill whatsoever, all you had to do to rank up was play the game alot. MLG even dis-agreed with the changes and removed it from its leagues.

 

So in my opinion, I have favourite aspects from both games, but i'd have to say Halo 3 was better, it was more balanced, better story and It had better maps.

Halo reach Hands down.

 

I love Reach.

[Darkrain491]

Halo: Reach crammed to many new aspects into one game. Had the additions been more gradual and peiced in over a set of games it might have went down better.

Halo 3. As for campaign, I'd say it's a tie. In multiplayer however, Halo 3 wins. It's more balanced than Reach's, plus some of Reach's maps are just atrocious. I have enjoyed Reach also, I'm not saying I don't like it.

wait a minute i read this post wrong... halo 3 is obviously better..... ive never even heard of halo reachj

[killerdude1635]

Halo 3, the storyline is amazing, Reach's just lacked in most areas..

 

Multiplayer wise, still Halo 3, it was just more fun..

 

Forge-wise, Reach, duh..

[Cooliest]

I prefer Halo 3 campaign and Halo reach's Customs and multiplayer.

[spartan 78896]

Halo 3 for sure, for me reach just didnt have that special spark which halo 3 had.

[Darkrain491]

Halo reach a forge was way better apart from the lag

Halo Reach: Multiplayer and Custom games

[Darkrain491]

Halo reaches custom games were better for options and parameter alterations but that's pretty pointless without any good maps to play on, cussed more often than not forge maps would lag.

 

[NJL]

The one thing i didnt really like about reach was on the heavies maps there would always be a lag as opposed to normal BTB maps.. not to mention on asphalt you get hit with random suicides left and right... talk about annoying, other than that it was a good map.

[Vendetta]

Campaign, halo reach, halo 3s campaign was just too short.

 

As for multiplayer, i don't like halo reachs maps at all.

[Penrole]

Reach for opening up Halo to the people who have never seen the books. Halo 3 in every other aspect.

[Sp4rkFloW]

Halo 3's flood was frustrating, but fun!

[Eli364]

The campaign in halo 3 was beautiful and the story was awsome. No disrespect to the chief But I really like the idea of playing as someone other than mc. Not only that but being able to customize your Spartans gender and armor in reach was someting very new and something that i enjoyed.
