>"Because of you, we found Halo, unlocked its secrets, shattered our enemy's resolve. Our victory — your victory — was so close ... I wish you could have lived to see it. But you belong to Reach. Your body, your armor — all burned and turned to glass. Everything ... except your courage. That, you gave to us. And with it, we can rebuild."
And then Halo 4 came along and ruined everything

Not to defend the game, but what did Halo 4 retcon about Reach?
Or are you just saying it ruined its sendoff?
>>376768936
>it ruined its sendoff
I'm sure OP meant this.
Why didn't you just SURVIVE anon?
>>376769010
Fair enough.
It's a shame because I do think the Halo universe had more stories in it before 4's release, but even the best one probably would have ruined the goodbye here.
I filter anyone who says Reach is bad. I don't accept bad opinions as legitimate.
>>376768781
tfw everything, including the war, was guided by the Forerunners.
tfw John's "luck" was intended and planned

Don't remind me, faggot OP.
R.I.P. Halo 1-3

This.It was the first Halo game I played online regularly. I even played it before 3/ODST.

CE campaign was easily 1.

Absolutely 0 surprises.

Except, for, you know, it being tedious and repetitive as balls

Anon pls. I don't think it should be #1 but it's better than Reach's.

Learn reading comprehension faggot.
I had Halo 1 PC but I only played it occasionally for a month or two. By the time I got the first 2 on Xbox, XBL was dead so I had to settle for 4 player splitscreen with rl bros. I got my 360 for Christmas '09 so I got Reach for it.

>tfw The Library is my favourite level in the entire franchise for some fucking reason
What is wrong with me
>>376768781
I can't put into words just how disgusted I am that /v/ is so infested by children that actually like Reach.
Until 4 came along I literally couldn't imagine how Halo could fall further. Almost every single thing in Reach was either a) awful or b) offensive to the previous games.
I thought people hated 3 when it came out but it was nothing compared to how much people hated Reach. It was so awful that by the time Halo 4 came along to shit on Halo's corpse almost no one was left to care.
tl;dr
Reach is shit and I am mad.
>>376771265

>>376769512
Reach's campaign is a shitshow and the most disappointing Halo campaign by far until 5 came out.
>>376768781
is that dueling peaks in the background?
>>376771649
t. faggot who doesn't understand storytelling
>>376771319
There's nothing wrong with you for liking a good level.
The Library only gets tedious/bad after multiple playthroughs.
