Is Destiny the reason Halo:Reach was hit and miss with a lot of folks?

I personally loved Halo:Reach. From the campaign, firefight, even the multiplayer. I felt it was a great addition to the Halo series. I rank the campaigns Halo:CE>Halo:Reach>Halo3>Halo4>Halo2>ODST The more news from Destiny leaks, the more we see just how long they were working on it. Is that why Halo:Reach saw such poor support from Bungie? I mean there were a lot of features added that weren't necessarily fine tuned and then Bungie just left the series and it's upkeep to 343 Industries who were so busy with halo 4. Is it because they started to invest too much time in Destiny knowing that the problems with Reach and Halo are not theirs any longer to sort out? It's not like Bungie to put out lackluster forge maps, not patch game breaking features right away etc. Besides, when the entire studio has moved on to something bigger, did it become a question of who cares if AL is overpowered, or who cares if forge maps don't necessarily play well, forget trying to fix bloom or making sure the Noble Map Pack was implemented well. Now I am not the best Halo player in the world, nor am I the worst, so I see both points of view from competitive ranked play to fun social play, but the hate on Bungie for Reach was unwarranted no? I mean the game launched September 2010 and by March had a map pack made by another dev team. By July 2011 Bungie stopped being in charge of servers or challenges correct? I mean I don't even remember a real title update until 343 announced theirs before the release of anniversary. So can you necessarily blame anyone for why Reach wasn't managed well? Both studios in charge were heavily involved with other things. I truly believe had Bungie not relinquished control of Reach so quickly, a lot more care could have gone into the game no? Anyone agree?

  • I'm not even gonna read this because of how you ranked the halo campaigns yes Halo CE was the best campaign and nothing will beat it. Halo 4 was a great campaign introducing new enemies keeping old ones and revitalizing the story. Halo 2 is next I loved the halo 2 campaign. It was fun awesome and it has my favorite multiplayer and maps of all time. Next is Halo 3. I like the halo 3 campaign just felt like it was missing a few things at times. Next is Halo ODST and Reach. The reach campaign was interesting but it's just not the same when you're not the chief same thing goes for ODST. Granted a lot of these are pretty close to each other but I don't see why the ODST game was so hated. I personally thought it was a great story. I missed being the chief but I liked the fact that you were something other than a spartan. Granted it was a different style of shooter rather than the run and gun like usual you had to be a bit more tactical and investigate more. The thing I liked most about reach was the campaign did not like the forged maps at all I'd rather have real remakes I think a lot of other people feel that way as well therefore 343i found it fitting to not do that. I liked learning a bit more where Cortana came from. I would have liked to learn more in the game. I think everyone else can say that instead of being on noble team people would have rather chose to be on I think it was Red Team was the one chief was in. I may be wrong but you get a different feeling when you are him. Now that I went totally ranting on my opinions of the campaign I forgot what this topic was even about.
