Halo 3 or Halo reach

Halo 3 has a boring SP while being bad all at the same time. ODST and Reach have way better SP and are better games as well.

Both games are brilliant.

Although i'm going to side with 3 simply because it has a much better Halo feel to it. Aesthetically speaking, both were great, i just prefer Halo 3 compared to Reach's grittyness. I also slightly prefer 3's soundtrack.

As for multiplayer, I prefer 3. Halo 3's multiplayer is easily one of the most competitive FPS's on the market. It's ranking system destroys everything else by a country mile, and doesn't suffer from the random and CoD-like, lone wolf promoting multiplayer traits from Reach. Halo 3 had a masssive focus on teamwork. Reach? Not so much.

Reach also suffers from a lot of story plot holes with the rest of the Universe. Why does Cortana need to be sent to the PoA ? Cheif should be with her already. (I know it's a fragment of Cortana but still.)Why is the PoA on the planet's surface? It should already be in space. Why does Halsey recognise the Spartan 3's? She shouln'td have any knowledge about them until after she gets off of Reach. Why do the Spartan 3's of Noble team all have MJOLNIR armour? Spartan 3's only ever use SPI armour. Or upgraded variants.

How could i forget this?

Multiplayer maps - Halo 3 completely destroys Reach in this departmant, too. Halo 3's maps are all recognisable classics. Reach? Not as much. Although Reach's DLC maps are great. Halo 3's maps are all fully forgable. Sandbox. I f***ing love you. The only maps where forge works competantly in Reach is Forge world.

Although I think i'm not giving Reach enough credit, though. Reach has better controls, better customisation, better forge (Not forge maps), better/more content, and of course Firefight.

Ultimately, i'd say Halo 3.

Grifball in Reach is my drug with me and my friend... but, Halo 3's oddball and maps were so much better than those found in Reach.

BUT because Reach is a Halo game theres something called Forge and people have made AWESOME maps - so there's really nothing Halo 3 has over Reach.

Reach gets my vote (I still haven't ended the game's story though, just been playing MP since I got the game day one)

I prefer Halo Reach. Love health packs instead of regen health. It would be nice if Halo 3's maps were on Halo: Reach. Some of them were very good.ShadowDeathX

Really?

It's still the same mechanics as Halo 3: you get shot, lose your shields and if you don't get shot you recover them. Health packs make no difference in Reach. You make it sound like it's a game from the 90s where you have 100 health and need to pick up health packs.
