Sensor Upgrade

muffinchucks Just wow, ruin another halo game. Its just sad that they made this game towards kids, just hopefully they have a playlist that doesn't have all that crap. Flame on.


You say that because you probably are just too skeptical to reach out of your comfort zone. Everything to you has to be like CoD of BF an' stuff like that nature. z


I play all types of games for one, two, when they changed reach it was no longer a halo series to ME because they leaned towards the new players and kids to reach a bigger audience, which I respect that but they left us competitive players out of the picture. I'v played a lot of halo and when you play something for a long time its hard to accept the changes. I did give it a chance but when they change to much stuff and lean towards Cod game play I'm done.


Ive played halo 3 since it came out and i was exicited for halo reach, when it came out i loved the game. i cant wait till halo4. its not leaning towards kids in anyway. its just evolving. the armor abilities wont do much to the game. if you cant accept being beaten because you need everyone to have exactly the same thing all the time fine, but if you cant accept changes to a game and throw kiddie tantrums just because they are changing the game it just proves how much you need a break. take a chill pill and accept and learn how to use these changes!



( Go ahead grammer nazis. correct me if i have made any mistakes. i will learn from them.)


You must not be a true halo fan then but whatever, everybody has there own opinion.


even though you said everyone has their own opinion, a true halo fan can love halo with changes. Shut the hell up and enjoy the storyline.

Everyone saying that this isn't as good as Halo 3 needs to shut up now.
Until you've played it you can't say shit about it. Halo 3 was a fantastic game and I played it more than any other game I have for my 360, but people need to get over it. Better stuff will come out, and I personally think that 4 could outdo 3. The only thing I don't like so far is the fact that Marty O'Donnell or however his name is spelt won't be doing the music for 4.

I agree, and don't mind the people that are going to call you a COD fanboy, they're just ignorant.

The best Halo's were 1 and 2, and the best CODs were Cod2, COD4, and WaW. But with Halo 3 they started adding too much ****, and with the other CODs they started adding too much **** that made the game worse imo.

Halo 3 was the best in the series. After that it just went to shit. Halo 3 introduced Forge and Custom Games, adding hours upon hours of replay value. The things they added in 3 made the game 10x better, Reach ruined it.
