Is Halo Reach the most disappointing sequel ever?

[QUOTE="Stevo_the_gamer"]I thought Halo Reach was... FAR better than Halo 3. :?Stringerboy

Seriously dude? It was worse in every concieveable way.

The campaign felt bland with boring and underdeveloped characters, and the multiplayer was runied with the armour abilities. Don't even get me started on armour lock; giving invincibility to every player at spawn is a terrible design choice.

Alright, you gave yourself away with that one. I ain't biting no more. You're obviously pulling everyone's chain. lol

*golf clap for getting me though*

from what ive played, Reach seemed more polished and content heavy than H3 ... it was pretty decent, i don't why it died so quick.

its dying because bungie refuse to acknowledge the fact that majority of the people who played Halo 3 hate Halo reach. I dont understand why they havn't released a title update to address all the issues.

FYI - Bungie has done numerous matchmaking updates since Reach launch.

I wonder how much time these 'reviewers' actually spend on multiplayer and if they have experience in the previous installment because bungie has made a radical depature from the tried and tested and clearly people are not happy. just compare halo 3 daily usage with halo reach and you will see what i mean

...I don't remember what Halo 3 was pulling in daily(in say 2008 ) nor what Halo 2 was pulling in daily way back in, say, 2005.

halo 3 used to have more than 1 million players online and that was 2 years after its release. halo reach has put a huge dent in the halo name

ide say that honor is a 3 way tie between

fallout 3

mass effect 2

and FFX-2

So are you just going to ignore my post? You thought i was just bashing Reach for a hell of it when infact i was just really was dissapointed.

Continuously, only Halo 2 pulled in those types of numbers. Though Halo 3 had those types of figures after its launch - same with Reach.

So what you're saying is my opinion for halo reach being an disappointment is wrong? Because it it scored an 9+ and was nominated for afew awards?

R3FURBISHED

If someone was disappointed in Reach than they have either been disappointed in the Halo series for a while now or just picked up Reach and hadn't touched the Halo series at all until Reach (which one would think that it would be better because of that as we are dealing with one of the most refined and content-laden shooters on the market)

modern ware the most selling game at the time wasn't popular? i dont understand why people defend bungie over this disaster. reach is the biggest halo failure ever. campaign was boring, multiplayer is still broken with no title update in site. its like they dont care anymore.

by the way I found halo reach to be a very disapointing game.

considering the fact that no halo game before it has had bloom and the players have become customed to having bullets hit their target why wouldn't they be outraged. i play halo because it is different to other shooters but now with bloom its like every other shooter.

Halo Reach in second best to halo 1, and second best to halo 2 in multiplayer.

your not in the minority. i stopped playing it months ago just like what i did with gears 2. i just hope the next halo game will be great because i miss playing it and i applaud EPIC foracknowledging the mistakes they made with gears 2 and fixing them.

to a certain extent i agree but think about it this way its not like cod players only play cod. if halo was good they will play that also but i think the main reason for the decrease in populatity has to do with halo reach game mechanics

i honestly remember playing halo 3 in 09 at sometime during the night the player counter will reach 1 million

think that honor still goes to DMC2lawlessx

What the hell is that? I don't think that exists

I say Crysis 2, because of how much I loved the first and Warhead but hate this one.

No thats Infamous 2

Singleplayer was far better then Halo 3. Multiplayer I feel was a step back.

Still though. I have a sealed copy of KZ3 I've yet to play. Maybe i'll see which is the worse sequel.

[QUOTE="vashkey"] Two years after Halo 3 came out it was not pulling in a million players a day. I know, the stats interested me and I checked regularly. Halo 3 was not pulling in 1 mill even a few months after launch. Not to mention it's pop counter was less accurate than Reach's.vashkey

i honestly remember playing halo 3 in 09 at sometime during the night the player counter will reach 1 million

but halo reach wasnt out then. regardless i think they made a right hash of halo reach and majority of halo fans will agree

Considering hundreds of thousands still play I really thing you're just exagerating it. I'll agree that not everyone is fond of bloom or armor abilities I think it's being blown of of proportion by some. It's still a great game. I think we should at least respect that Bungie actually took some risks instead of phoning it in and just created Halo 3 with better graphics.

I thought Halo Reach was... FAR better than Halo 3. :?Stevo_the_gamer

Anyways that honor goes to DMC2 TC.

Actually I change my answer to Dynasty Warriors 6.

what??? Halo reach was great! and its a prequal my friend ;)

This thread needs more Crysis 2. I could honestly right an essay on why the first was so much better.

Ultima 8, Mount and Blade: With Fire and Sword, Deus Ex: Invisible War, Thief 3, Civilization 5, DMC2 would like to have a word with you, I am sure there are plenty of more disappointing sequels, but those are at thet top of my head.
