Halo Reach vs Black ops

think you forgot about the jet pack. just a lil more cool then "diving"

I just finished Reach and while I did like the BO storyline because it was like a thriller movie, I liked Reach better. It waas longer, I liked the chracters, and the story was nice. The pacing wasexcellent. And the variety was good too, on the ground, in space, flying in space, flying in the air, on rails shooting in the air, stealth (although not done very well).It felt fresh after getting through ODST.

Heres a clue, the better game starts with an "R" and ends with an "EACH".

Hope that helped.

While theater mode is something halo has had for a while now for the last 3 games? it is NEW to the CoD series making it NOT a rehashed idea for CoD. Im not saying one is better than the other, but one is certainly more of a rehash than the other, and it is NOT the one you assume.

Went ahead and fixed that for you.

I liked both, but I think Reach was better.

Incomparable games. Black Ops is more of a demo than a game. It's 2 hour campaign sucks and then after that you play the multiplayer and its basically a graphically better version of duck hunt. Game sucks majorly.

A well polished, solid, quality game vs. recycled, rehashed rubbish.

No Contest.

I agree. Black Ops > Reach by far.

Does Reach work as it's supposed to? If so, it beats Black Ops regardless of how good it is.

reach I supose

I like Halo's brand of action more. Bungie should however let me alter the playlists for them because they suck at it :Pjg4xchamp

[QUOTE="jg4xchamp"][QUOTE="DarkLink77"] Agreed on Halo's brand of action. That said, They're getting better at the playlist thing. Though it usually only happens after the community b****** and moans for while.DarkLink77

Coming from a a Hard core Halo Fanboy since 2001 I'm going to vote BO. The campaign in Reach is better, but I like BO multi much more. I prefer Halo 3 to both by a wide wide margin, and I hated MW2.

Reach is far better. Black Ops I stopped playing after two days, and I started play multiplayer only on the second day. After reaching level 17 I just thought, "This is boring. I played this game in 2007, all I can do is attach a few more useless attachments and buy them. Yay for that." Then I played Zombies. "Still a lot of fun, but again, I played this in 2008, hardly anything different." The campaign I liked, but way too over the top. So yeah...

On a side-note: I am getting sick of reviewers taking points away from a game when they think it's too much of the same, but when it comes to Call of Duty, they praise it. Almost every reviewer seems to not understand what make a game unbalanced and what doesn't too.

Reach is way better i love The online Best halo since Halo 1 . COD is garbage and the fanboys are so blind that they buy the same thing each Year but to each their own , and plus Black ops is atleast better than MW2 i will admit that.

IMO its Black Ops... but I havent played Reach so im biased

I liked Call of Duty: World at War better.

It looks better and runs much better than Black Ops.

There have been so many Modern Shooters that a WWII game feels new.....

Halo Reach at least makes significant changes(not necessarily improvements) to the halo formula while BO multiplayer is essentially the same as every other Call of Duty.

And I guess I can ALSO pad my Black Ops list with the Emblem Editor... which once again is NEW to the franchise. Black ops is STILL the fresher title.. go figure?

much prefer reach. in sp terms it utterly trounces black ops. that campaign was borderline insultingly bad

[QUOTE="Ninja-Hippo"]

[QUOTE="gamer620"] Ironically Black Ops does more over its predecessors than Halo Reach does... Seriously... go back to Halo 3 or ODST and count the number of new features from them to reach. Then do the same for black ops... Ill do it for you

are you actually arguing that BO is fresh? Fine.

firefight matchmaking completely changes the game. without it, firefight would not be as it is. Forge world is something NEVER seen before. It doesn't matter if its designed around the forge(which is drastically improved from halo 3). I can say that any shooter is rehashed because its based around shooting. Elite slayer is different in a few ways, as you're healt regenerates, you start of with covie weapons and abilities, your melee is slightly stronger, and your sheilds are stronger too.

Also, firefight is much fresher than BO. Bos is the exact same thing as WAW(in fact i prefer WAWs) while firefight in reach is so much better and varied than ODSTs that ODSTs looks like an alpha version.

And, all of BOs "new" things have already been used in other games(mostly from halo lol). while halo has a few things that you can't find on any other FPS.

Well, that´s the problem of most console shooters!

I'll refrain from making remarks on the behalf of Black Ops as I have not played it. I will, however, say that the integration of Bnet to Reach is the single most impressive aspect of the game. Having every single stat and little detail meticulously tracked and viewable in one place is phenomenal.

Reach might be the better game for what it does to the series & community features, but..

I much preferred BO.

Campaign wise I felt Reach's high points were higher, but BO was much more action packed and lacking boring parts(aka average was higher).

I felt the space battle sequence in Reach was painfully boring also for all its hype.
