Halo 3 is definatly better. it was so much more fun, and actually took some skill unlike halo reach with the bloom and sniping being so easy. halo 3 actually also took skill and i liked the ranks in it because in MLG i would actually get paired up with good players unlike reach.

I'm confused... How does bloom decrease the skill?

i think that reach is better overall. Halo 3 just came down to BR and got stale quick. reach has the armor abilities and made all the weapons useful. this added a gameplay depth and strategy that halo 3 didnt have.

All I really want is a remake of Halo 2. I enjoyed that game soooo much, and for some reason Halo 3 didn't cut it for me. In my opinion, Halo 2>Reach>Halo 3.

Halo Reach for the amount of stuff you can do , better forge controls etc but Halo 3 was a great game

Probable Halo Reach except I do miss the BR. DMR is still pretty nice though. In my opinion Reach is everything 3 could have been. Also the armor customization, invasion, and the new team swat is probably what really makes me love halo reach.

I like Reach because I mainly play CoD so its somewhat the same concept but I started out playin halo3 so it will always be my fav.

Halo 3 cause i enjoy sniping more and i love the BR

I'm going to have to say Reach. I've been an avid Halo player since Halo 2, and I was very bored with Halo 3. Reach is a great improvement on the gameplay, and a fresh game to break the monatony. Although, I will agree that the DMR is nowhere near as good as the BR...

Halo 3's BR owns the DMR. Wish they brought the BR back somehow... Like an easter egg or something. Or maybe it's own game mode! I dont really know...

I like Reach better than Halo 3, and for that matter I don't understand the controversy surrounding it... cause both games are excellent, and none of Reach's flaws are critical enough for a person to be justified in putting it down as a bad game. Anyway, I enjoy the DMR more than the BR, mainly because I kill with it a lot faster and I enjoy the single shot, which allows me to count my shots much better, contrary to the BR, which is more frenetic. Also, I enjoy the beefed up pistol, which gives you a fighting chance off spawn in normal slayer types, and it is a good throwback to Halo: CE as well. I enjoy playing MLG and Arena gametypes, but I also enjoy casual playlists. Invasion is a great addition to the franchise and is a good way to warm up before a play session or to cool down after one. Grifball is awesome in Reach as well, and is definitely my favorite casual gametype. My opinion on bloom is... adapt. I know that it is random, but complaints about spamming are false, and on-target pacing is always going to create more success than spamming, which is only more successful in the most extreme of situations. Armor Lock sucks, but I still use it at times, and I do not think that anyone should be put down for using it. My only problems with Armor Lock are that two uses is too much, and frosting is cheap bullshit. What I like more about H3 is the lack of sprint, as well as the faster move speed. I find that sprint in Reach most often gets me killed rather than puts me in a better position, seeing as any decent player can soundwhore the shit out of your player's gasping sounds. In terms of maps, H3 takes the cake, but I do enjoy many of Reach's maps, such as Countdown, Boardwalk, Hemorrhage, Zealot (w/ or w/o low G), and I enjoy the occasional objective gametype on Swordbase. Anyway that's my opinion on the matter. I love both, but I love Reach more.

Halo 3 is better hands down, the game was much simpler without all the custom powerups and stuff nowadays in reach. also the BR was the best gun ever invented!

i prefer halo 3, dont rly care for the armour abilities

BR>DMR...nuff said. With connection as bad as it is today. bloom randomization just sucks. ur host? u win. it turns into a black ops style host advantage that wasnt rly noticeable on H3. BR takes skill, DMR takes a lot of luck and connection.

Assassins creed>H3>Cod4>black ops/mw2/reach.

Ranking system in reach is horrible, not based off of skill at all. COD is the same way, no skill--still easy enough/time consuming to get to 15th prestige or general is reach.

H3 maps r better than reach, no noticable lag unless sum1 lives in Australia, ranking system was the best in any game ive seen so far, and a mming system that put u with relatively close skill level teammates/opponents, took a huge amount of skill to consistently 4 shot even with host, power ups had to of been picked up by having map control so no campers like in cod. Theater system was flawless, and custom games are easier create than reach + they were better. GLitching was better too

You don't appreciate what you've got til its gone.

If bungie fucking coded one game mode with a BR, the reach series would be 100x bigger than CoD because the original MLG value of the gun skill in a BR would take that game to a much higher competitive height and u might see some H3 vets back on the circuit.

Gotta love the one thing that ruins a game..i could stand armor abilities providing i could BR the sucker flying around

There are ups and downs about both because the Campaign was great on both,I would know because i love halo but i would personaly say halo 3 because there seemed like to much new in Reach expessially the dmr, Example I was on Gamebattles for halo 3 and i loved Swat The BR was amazing gun then they made the dmr at first i thought it would be the same but after playing Swat on both I was like im going back to halo 3

I agree with all of what you think i just think that the change is good but bad thats just a weird opinon i hace

Halo Reach for awesome graphics and gameplay and storyline, but
for some reason I found Halo 3 multiplayer addicting

Sure, the BR destroys the DMR any day, but does that really destroy a game when there are gay armor abilities? Could you really not stand the DMR even if armor lock wasn't in the game?

I really like Reach and I must say it's a great game no doubt. But some of my best best memories in playing with friends and gaming in general has been with Halo 3. Every time I play it, it brings back those good times. I still enjoy playing it to this day and will for a while
