Doju Posted June 22, 2014 Hahah, it't not like I hate you now, I just hate reach. Dammy in CE was amazing, Dammy in Reach... not so much. So depends on which Dammy you are talking about. You played the wrong settings/version then. Quicker timers and the lifts/teleports you could add in forge made it super. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post
xJumPeRJumPzZ Posted June 22, 2014 Halo 3 is a mediocre game and a mediocre halo with a miserable online experience. The only reason Halo 3 seems "good" is because of how bad Reach and H4 are. However, NBNS Reach was far and away the 3rd best competitive halo besides the fact that the maps blew donkey balls. Halo 3 is a great game and a awesome Halo to me. Unlike the Trash called Reach or Halo 4. NBNS Reach was the same trash as OG Reach to me. Halo 3 was better competitive wise. And it was way more fun to watch than shitty Reach. PS: No need for that troll downvoting. People need to accept opinions. Holy shit someone prefers Halo 3 over Halo 2, the world is going to end. Sometimes i really wonder how old some people are. 4 10 Quote Share this post Link to post

You can prefer Halo 3, but no it was not better competitively. And I don't troll downvote anything. I downvote when I disagree strongly and upvote when I agree. Pretty simple concept. 4 4 Quote Share this post Link to post
NaraOshima Posted June 22, 2014 Hands down it seems like Halo 2 is gonna take it home as the dominated game, but I started out in H3 so i'd like to see some rise for that game too Quote Share this post Link to post

Aphex Twin Posted June 22, 2014 There is no room for subjection when discussing which game has more competitive merit. That said, ZBNS reach has more competitive merit that halo 3. Halo 2 has more competitive merit than halo 3. Think halo 3 is more fun? Cool, that's your opinion. However, ZBNS reach and halo 2 separate better players from worse players by a greater margin than halo 3. 9 Quote Share this post Link to post
S0UL FLAME Posted June 22, 2014 Alright, real talk to the peeps arguing over H3 MLG and ZBNS Reach. Look at these. Reach's net code was much more reliable, and the DMR is very consistent. Halo 3, in my honest opinion, stayed popular because of the excitement washing over everyone after Halo 2. In hindsight, I don't like Halo 3, because it is just a laggy and/or inconsistent mess. Default Reach had bad settings, but after ZBNS and Gold Pro, we had a pretty enjoyable Halo to play. 10 Quote Share this post Link to post
Aphex Twin Posted June 22, 2014 Dammy in CE was amazing, Dammy in Reach... not so much. I guess if you're playing with a 5sk DMR and power items on 2-3 minute timers. Quote Share this post Link to post

No it has more to do with people who cant accept that not everyone likes/loves/prefers the same game. Downvoting someones post into oblivion is trolling to me and has nothing to do with disagreeing. NBNS Reach is not more competitive to me. The more Team focused Gameplay from Halo 3 is a way better Competitive merit. And who cares about the Netcode when the games were played over Lan at a tournament? And with this Collection halo 3 will play so much better. Dedis, 60fps. It wont feel sluggish. And thanks to no hitscan, it will take more skill IMO. 1 9 Quote Share this post Link to post

Downvoting someones post into oblivion is trolling to me and has nothing to do with disagreeing. But why did you just neg me and others then? You are going against your own logic and contributing to the problem that your hoping to avoid. Even on LAN, Halo 3 did run into a lot of issues, it's a good game but most here would disagree that it's not the best competitive title for Halo. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post

KurtiZ Posted June 22, 2014 The worst thing about Halo 4 was that it was too easy. All of the other bad stuff in it could be removed or changed or dealt with, but there was an incredible lack of a skill gap in that game I felt. Especially aiming with that amount of aim assist + no descope. At least Halo 3 and Reach took a bit of shooting skill. Yes Halo 2 is easy to aim in but the game makes up the skill gap in a variety of other places, where Halo 4 had nothing to save it. CE is Goat but too old to compete now, only oldschoolers appreciate and there aren't enough of us left to make anything truly meaningful out of it, unfortunately. Halo 2 will absolutely dominate.

Lux Posted June 22, 2014 Halo 3, in my honest opinion, stayed popular because of the excitement washing over everyone after Halo 2. Important point. Halo's popularity has pretty much been a lie for ten years in terms of competitive mp. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post
Aphex Twin Posted June 22, 2014 NBNS Reach is not more competitive to me. The more Team focused Gameplay from Halo 3 is a way better Competitive merit.It's not that halo 3 has more teamwork than halo 2 or zbns reach, but rather halo 3 only has teamwork since the individual skill gap is so nullified due to things like the uselessness of the "utility" weapon, ineffectiveness of the strafe, etc... It's also a pretty widely accepted fact that bloodshots frequently occur on LAN in halo 3- bungie intended for the game to be like that. 7 Quote Share this post Link to post

I downvote when I disagree strongly and upvote when I agree. Pretty simple concept. You'r supposed to neg and plus rep based on how the posts are presented like how thought out the post is, good/bad grammar, reasons for opinions ect. Not on whether or not you agree with an opinion. Neg repping someone simply because you don't agree with them is just immature 3 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
WhatTheHell Posted June 23, 2014 A lot of it depends on settings and playlists. If Halo 2 ends up being mostly SMG starts, I won't even bother with it when we have CE. I voted Halo 3 however, because a lot of the players that are playing now most likely started with it. Quote Share this post Link to post

Not on whether or not you agree with an opinion. Neg repping someone simply because you don't agree with them is just immature I'm never going to plus or minus rep someone based on grammar on a forum on the internet. It's not immature to neg rep if I strongly disagree with someone, and I'm not sure why some people are so concerned about a number surrounded by green in their post. 1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post
Goku Posted June 24, 2014 It's not immature to neg rep if I strongly disagree with someone LOL ignorance is not an excuse for immaturity. You'r totally misunderstanding on what the rep system is supposed to achieve. You neg someone for giving one word cocky answers where as you plus someone for a well thought out opinionated post. The rep system is supposed to promote people who make constructive posts not to make them afraid to post their personal opinion. We want individuality and real discussions. Not a bunch of people parroting the same opinions over and over again 3 2 Quote Share this post Link to post

I'm on these forums to talk about competitive halo not to defend how I rep, so I'm done with this back and forth bs. 2 3 Quote Share this post Link to post
