game is basically a reskin of halo 3, which itself was a significant downgrade from halo 2. most of reach’s maps are built in forge, large, open, and visually uninteresting. the game also feels like a beta version of halo 4, which fixes a lot of reach’s issues, like adding proper sprint and removing armor lock

can someone explain why reach is rated so highly? it’s easily the worst halo game. i honestly prefer halo 4 and even 5 over reach

Back in the day Halofags were riding high acting as if the series was the greatest and most innovative FPS series ever. Halo Reach was the last decent Halo so they disregarded all criticisms, which led to future devs assuming that they didn't even had to try.

>visually uninteresting
what

>>713325642 (OP)
3 has better designed levels. 2 had better competitive multiplayer, but 3 had forge. Reach had the best forge of the Bungie era but armor abilities were gay and it has the weakest maps in the series. 3/4ths of the maps in matchmaking were (and still are in MCC) community made forge maps, because the map roster was so bad.

If it was the campaign wouldn't be so forgettable & the online wouldn't have been such garbage.

>>713325642 (OP)
Halo 1 was good. The rest sucked

>>713325642 (OP)
I actually found 3 somehow even worse but Reach is a close second.

No colors. It's brown as shit.

Only zoomer Xbots liked it, the only good campaigns in the series were Halo CE and Halo Infinite because CE felt somewhat like a classic FPS despite being neutered but Halo 2 could have went deeper into that instead of casualizing Halo more, Infinite kind of gets things back on track but clearly needed a new engine since things just weren't cutting it with what 343 had. I'm interested in if Halo Studios can fix things with the remakes and Infinite successor under UE5. Long story short, Bungie made a promising game in 2001, they ruined it in 2004 which would eventually lead to their downfall as a studio as they became more corporate and casualized, Microsoft took over the series and turned it into COD in space will sappy C-tier movie presentation in 2012 before finally just making a video game again 2021 and eventually beyond. Multiplayer for Halo is screwed though, there is nothing they can do to bring that back. They should be prepared to vault that if the next one doesn't do well.

>good campaigns
>halo Infinite
I also liked the mexican's nonstop crybaby emotions.

>>713327125
Sorry anon, but I'd take Halo 2's unfinished campaign and linear levels over Halo Farcry.

>>713327267
It takes more cues from classic FPSs and then your garbage Halo CE sequels to screwed the genre for year, Halo deserve the ass kicking it got from COD to the point where Bungie and then Microsoft started copying that more casualized series. Karma for killing the genre until Doom saved it again. Glad Infinite took some cues from Doom 2016 as well. Finally turning this series until a real video game again may be the only thing that can save it because as it currently stands, your series has no audience.

>>713327416
Halo 2 was made for retards who don't know how to play video games, that's why it's a straight line. Bungie's incompetent asses couldn't even get boss fights right. Did Microsoft make them lazy or something? I don't remember them being like that pre-buyout.

>>713327084
It has plenty of colours. They’re aren’t bright to match the somber tone of the story you nitwit. It’s still plenty colourful though.

Everytime I think about replaying the trilogy I look forward to 3 the most but when actually playing I feel like it's the worst one. It's still a really good game but there is just something missing. I would rank them 1>2>3.

>>713327420
>It takes more cues from classic FPSs
Yeah those classic ubisoft FPS games with copy pasta outposts & the same bosses repeated several times, good stuff.

>>713327731
Nah, it has proper boss fights, and the Power Seeds act like puzzles/keys from classic FPS. It's also the first Halo game since CE that just lets you mess with the sandbox however you want over the scripted bullshit made for dumb fucks Halo 2 on up started. Really, what they did in Infinite just needs more work and refinement and they could end up eventually making the best Halo campaign in the series. Bungie started the dumbing down of FPS which also led to the dumbing down of games, in general for a while before indies and AAs started to correct things again. I still to this day can't figure out how Halo 2 on up were considered the greatest games of all time, it feels like something some dumbass zoomer or late millennial would say because that's where they started.

>>713327125
Infinite's campaign is garbage, and CE is the worst campaign of the Bungie games. You just have shit taste.

>>713328076
Says the retard that likes a linear ass scripted video game that literally holds your hands to the end. No one wants to copy your crappy FPS series. Halo brings no inspiration.

>>713327970
>proper boss fights against the same gorilla guy who acts exactly like other enemies but now yells at you periodically in between the emotions and a boss healthbar
>collecting items in the copy pasted bloated open world is classic FPS
>"sandbox" thats just a big map with outposts
>continues whatabouting other halo games
I'm glad I'm able to help you justify your delusions by creatively reframing overused open world designs. It won't convince me but obviously thats not the point here.

>>713325642 (OP)
This is actually some decent quality bait. It's really retarded but just enough to that point where people might think you're serious.

>>713327125
>and Halo Infinite
Stopped reading here. You're a troglodyte.

>>713327084
did you play the game?

>>713325642 (OP)
>downgrade from halo 2
Halo 3 is the greatest game ever made and no release has ever come close in any franchise since. The midnight release hype doesn't lie.

>>713328379
Three of the boss fights required more than shooter enemy until dead, it needs refinement but a step in the right direction over punching a Giraffe in the face until it dies on its floating throne.
>"sandbox" thats just a big map with outposts
At least it has a sandbox, Halo 2 gutted the sandbox Halo did have in Halo 1. Halo 2 was a generic piece of shit made for soccer moms.
>continues whatabouting other halo games
Because is an overrated series that doesn't deserve the praise that it gets, you retards are responsible for better series during its era dying because this piece of shit series was all you played. Now your crappy series is getting what it rightfully deserves, being forgotten, and you autists keep making videos and threads about the same stupid shit every month. Not even people waiting decades for a new game in their series are this autistic.

>>713325642 (OP)
Nice bait

>>713328593
Your series sucks man, you should be lucky I mentioned any game honestly.

>>713328379
You never played the game, you're just some ragebaiting leftist.

>>713325642 (OP)
Reach is bad but you have absolutely no idea what the fuck you're talking about judging by your criticism, filthy Brazilian trash

>>713328669
>its shit it's bad you're retarded it's overrated it sucks
once again some autistic cock smoker just calling shit bad while never explaining why (they never can) llmao what a fucking joke cunts like you are

>>713327970
I never finished the infinite campaign but the basic formula is there.
Halo games have always been about levels with different environments, being linear between large combat arenas. Halo 2 kind of failed with that compared to 1 3 and reach

>>713328781
I did explain why. Weapons in Halo CE campaign have a function like your usual FPS and even plays like a proper FPS despite being somewhat dumbed down for casuals. Infinite's campaign also have weapons with a function like an FPS is supposed to have, funny enough when they try to complicate the game even a little, Halo faggots flip out over it because they're use to being babysitted by the game. Halo 2 on up had a terrible weapon sandbox and all of them played like linear trash, Halo 4 felt like a natural evolution of the horribly direction Bungie was already taking it, series went full circle on how much it could casualize itself for idiots as it copied the game that copied it, COD4. Halo after CE, has nothing to fall back on but story but who even plays an FPS for that plus said story wasn't even good either?

>>713328905
I honestly think most of them failed at doing it like Halo 1, something about Halo 1 just felt right. Old boomer shooter guys don't like it but I can't bring myself to dislike it like the other games, it's fun and enjoyable even the simple storyline which just felt like your usual 90s FPS story.
