Halo: Anniversary - The Halo 1 remake (fuck anyone who calls it "halo ce" remake)

It depends on your point of view. For someone who just wants to kick back and shoot things Reach is great, because it doesn't really have much of a learning curve and doesn't take much skill or effort to do well at compared to most FPS games. For someone like me who plays games primarily for the challenge, Reach is horrible. The Campaign is so fucking easy that I beat Legendary in a day, and multiplayer is deliberately designed so that anyone can just jump in and get kills without much effort. For me, it takes all the fun out of things and I'd call that a pretty huge flaw, not a nitpick.

Of course, everything is subjective and nobody is going to like the same things everyone else likes. And I was being a pretty large douche when I first started posting about Reach around the Beta. But the points I've made are still valid, and I've yet to see anybody on the other side make a better argument than 'l2play n00b'.

Most people who criticize Reach do nit-pick because there really aren't that many issues with the game.

Just like there weren't many issues with Modern War-

I'm sorry I couldn't even finish that sentence.

Skill gap is definitely up to interpretation, but from my experiences and the 3000+ games that I have played in Reach, there is an extreme skill gap between players. I do wonder how you can claim to have quickly beaten the campaign on legendary, but that may just be that you are more skilled. To be honest, basing your opinion that you then argue with others, off of the fact that you enjoy a game that takes more skill, really doesn't work. If you really want to argue an opinion then base it on things like base gameplay and balance, not on how difficult the game is to you, because you may have better hand eye coordination.

But I have, I made very detailed arguments on why I don't think various gameplay elements in Reach work and how they could be done better. People just don't listen and instead default to 'l2play n00b' etc. Some people have pointed out that I make my arguments in too sarcastic and scathing of a manner, and that may be part of the issue. People see the word 'fuck' and just assume the entire post is nothing but butt-hurt.

All I have seen you say over the last few posts has been about how its too easy and noob friendly :P Im not going to go back through the entirity of the Reach Thread on here, but In general, the weapons are far more balanced than any other of the Halo games.

I don't really have the energy to re-hash and summarize everything I actually said over 100+ pages of arguing, nor do I particularly care anymore.

Well that's easy to assume given how quick you are to defend your own arguments and opinions

Well, when I go to Modacity I don't really browse the forum, I tend to just hit F5 on the few threads I'm actually interested in reading.

My mustache is superior to yours!

I.... I can't read grow a mustache. I am forced to turn to video games as a facial hair empowerment fantasy. Before that, I would often cut myself... damn useless flesh! What good is it!? Curse this boy-ish face! Curse it!

Welp, back to therapy for me.

In my opinion, Reach had the potential to be one of the best Halo games but it was executed horribly.
