I hated Halo Reach!

Halo Reach, Bungie's last Halo game. I greatly enjoyed playing the game and had loads of fun, but I keep hearing so much negativity about the game being the worst in the series. I didn't get why so many hated it so much, all over so little things. In most reviews I've seen and read, most of them point out the major problems in the game are the Story, the Ranking System, and Armor Abilities (mostly Armor Lock). For the story, I didn't have a problem with even when those heavy duty halo fans say it was not following the book. I never read any of the halo books and that's good. The story doesn't need to match the book when a newbie comes to play, it's simple enough for almost anyone new who comes in to understand. Not only that, but you also get to have your own Spartan in the story, not a campaign about Master Chief but a campaign about you in Noble Team. I found that to be fun. Plus friends could join as their own Spartans instead of random generic ones and they don't disappear in most of the cutscenes. For the Ranking System, I don't give a s**t about the ranking system, I play the game to have fun. What annoys me is that some reviewers say Halo Reach sucks because of the Ranking System and that's just stupid. Don't judge the entire game all because it doesn't have a proper system in it like Halo 3. Too many time in 3 my team has left all because there's a general on the other team. In Reach, you could be max rank and still not intimidate people into leaving. The gameplay is fun, and that's all that matters to me. And then there is Armor Abilities, while some hate it, I found it to be an interesting addition as armor abilities are optional in some game modes. They changed the way we fight in these new maps. Maps that can become infinite with the advanced Forge we got. I made tons of new game modes in Reach, far more than I did in Halo 3. Bungie added a lot to Halo Reach, despite taking VIP out, but they replaced it with Invasion. And with the armor abilities game modes became even more creative. Then there is Armor Lock, the one ability that many can hate. I do agree that Armor Lock gets annoying in games like team slayer or any small team battles. But on larger maps, it wasn't a bother for me. In 3, I would get run over or shot be tanks constantly, letting the other guy get a very high score. With Armor Lock, you make those sunday drivers think twice, you can survive one or two shots from the tank, or you become the cover when you are getting shot by a sniper. Take Armor Lock out if you want, but that would be one less creative item for forge. Like this one game mode (I can't remember the name), one team must drive over a bridge to get points while another team with an Armor Lock glitch just shoves them off. It was one of those game that redeemed Armor Lock a little. That's all I'm going to say now, comment below on how you felt about Reach. Did you like it, did you hate it, or was it just... meh?
