How I see Halo on XBL, from best to worst:
1. Halo 2
2. Halo Reach Title Update
3. Halo 3
4. Halo Reach

I played some H3 the other day, and... yeah, not so hot.
Post-TU Reach will probably be my favorite ever, even with the bad design decisions that will still be leftover.

I never even heard of that game until, like, six months ago in this thread. I dunno how I missed it.Falagard said:

Well there will for sure be Anniversary ("classic") playlist(s) once CEA comes out.
It is going to be very interesting to see how they handle this TU from a matchmaking point of view. What are the new playlists, what are their settings, what stuff gets integrated into existing playlists?

Halo 3.. wow.
If there is a Zero bloom team slayer playlist using the GAF settings then I don't think I would touch another playlist besides that and classic lolLetters said:
Seriously though 4v4 customs with those settings are the most fun I've had with Halo in a while.
EDIT: Oh and btw 343 you might want to hit these guys with the ban hammer

Still a better campaign than Reach. Damn. Two Scarabs against one Spartan-II. And not only one Scarab against a team of Spartans-III...StalkerUKCG said:

Halo 3 being badly slagged?
TU Reach rated above it with it out less than a week?
Am disappoint. Certainly has problems, but the pile on..

I didn't notice that they are guests in the party. But it explains it now.Hydranockz said:
I haven't a lot experiences with the TU yet. But I would rank TU Reach above Halo 3. But you are right. We only played one gametype. And the good experience could change into bad ones. See Halo Reach beta.Zeouterlimits said:

I think Reach no bloom + fixes + maps coming out with CE will put it on top.

I'd be in that camp. Certainly Reach has some very very odd design choices in some aspects of the game, but for me its still more enjoyable to play than Halo 3. Not saying it blows H3 out of the water by any means though.
TU Reach though, is flat-out awesome.

Lol Reach no bloom has plenty of problems of its own. Sure Halo 3 may be laggy but when I get get friends who live locally to play its a blast. Its just a shame its so laggy over live now.

Interesting read. I'm not going to get into how each successive Halo installment gets further and further away from the original formula, but I did like the part on Lunchbox's quote:KidA Seven said:
While waiting for numbers is smart, it's not a very deep strategy. But in Reach, that's what it boils down to much of the time. It's so true. I hate team shooting. It's not a display of skill so much as it is taking advantage of weak starting weapons. That's why games with quitters are so bad in Reach and why a team of people in a party together are so lethal . Numbers trump real talent.
And numerous power weapons don't help the issue

This is odd!

It Appears to be long night of solace but with a carbine, different textures and an halo 2 elite player model.
A few things strike me as wierd.
A carbine makes me think its not reach since i dont think models (however crude} can be ported into it
The graphics are obviously above halo 1/2 level so pc modding seems out of the question
The Elite model looks like the one from halo 2.
The BSP of LNoS could of been ripped but it seems to behave exactly like LNoS so some one would of had to painfully rescript everything in what ever engine is being used.
My best guess would be halo reach but again the imported models throw me off.

With no bloom you can have incredible team work or save your self if you run into two guys. Good teamshotting trumps individual skill but it doesn't make it near impossible to outjuke two people if you're indeed the better player. Or take on a second person after you killed the first.

Just wait until the teamshooting in 8v8 customs when they release the CE:A magnum gametype!
If more than 3 people teamshoot you at once, they should script it so you detonate in a bomb explosion

Oh please. If you're being shot by 3 different opposing team mates you and your team is playing wrong to begin with. God forbid people die by doing stupid shit in a team game.
