In my personal opinion, yes. I have always played halo since I was about 5, and whilst halo 3 is an amazing game, I just have a lot more memories of reach. Plus, I loved that it was its own thing, much like ODST. I love these two games the most out of all of them, but they're all pretty great. Apart from 5. That one sucked.


So to answer your question...yes. In my opinion. But, not any halo game is better than any other halo. It's all just personal choice. Feel free to clown on Guardians though. I don't think anyone will care about that game.

I like Reach a lot better, but they're completely different games. Halo 3 is like the best possible version of Halo 2, carrying over most of its mechanics while fixing its major bugs and adding equipment and a few new maps, weapons, and vehicles. It's a really good, really stable and easily understandable Halo game and it's a crowd-favorite for a reason.

Halo: Reach introduced the armor abilities and a whole bunch of other experimental changes which add a ton of nuance to the game. With Sprint, you can do some Halo 2-like button combos to do things like "BXR" (RB, Forward + LB, RT) but slower and requiring meter to use. With Jetpack, players who know how can use a gravity hammer to reach superbounce-like heights (I'm talking ground-to-ceiling on Headlong or even Spire) using nothing but the Jetpack and a Gravity Hammer. Plenty of players have gotten good at using Armor Lock to counter melee attackers, too. None of these things are required but the fact that they're in there means there's always more to learn and improve at in Reach, beyond just learning weapon spawns. I think that's why I'm still at it.

i feel like more people halo 3 more than halo reach

[FedEx Noelle]

I love both games. But Reach is too epic of a story in my opinion compared to Halo 3.

im in the minority of the community in saying that i think halo 3 is a bad game, but i also happen to think reach is the best halo game, which is less controversial.

No

[An Irate Walrus]

I never did feel like Halo 3 lived up to the hype (and to be fair, I was in my mid-20s when it launched, so my experience with it is a little different from those who see it as a formative part of their childhood).

Reach was a damn solid title, and I prefer it to 3--but preference, just like my feeling that 3 was a disappointment--is entirely subjective.

Your profile picture perfectly reflects that opinion.

Despite liking Reach the best, I actually think Reach is one of the weakest stories. Even with the sci-fi stuff, it really just feels like another military shooter on an Earth-like planet. No time and attention spent on Covenant motivation, no Flood, a bunch of plot holes, and sometimes a major character dies out of the blue in a way that makes absolutely no sense just for the drama of it.

Reach and 3 both have epic campaigns and great multiplayer modes. However, I think that Reach's Multiplayer is far superior to 3 and thus is narrowly the superior game.

[Pwnage]

yes. halo 3 is the worst halo game ever made.

[Akemua]

Nah, Reach is trash. Gameplay was worse, maps were worse, story maybe better, but still trash if compared to the book.

[Turitz Stephelin]

I think I'm the most Controversial, for me Halo 3 is the worst Halo followed by Reach, Reach has a good Story but the Multiplayer doesn't do it for me and in Halo 3 I don't like the Story and the Multiplayer.

I love Halo Reach moreso than Halo 3, I've been playing Halo since CE, so I'm not a biased player by any means. I feel like Bungie truly made something special with Reach, I had the absolute best time with it and I consider it Bungie's tour de force.

[Psychedelic Adventurer]

I think most veteran players would generally disagree.
