Reach by a mile.
Halo 4 is far less graphically consistent and has rampant ugly textures pop ins and low res textures. Reach is a far better looking game. Although post TU reach is worse then Pre TU Reach, it is still better then the fast paced ADHD game that is Halo 4. Reach's campaign crushes Halo 4's in every way. Halo 4 was a repetitive shooting gallery while Reach was constantly mixing the gameplay up with excellent pacing and vehicle variety. Halo 4's script feels like a 15 year old wrote it as well, not to mention the horrible job 343i did introducing the Didact to people who are unfamiliar with Halo's lore. Then of course, forge and customs are beyond comparison between the two, Reach has a much better forge and customs suite. Firefight in Reach is excellent, especially with 4 friends, but i will say the lag in matchmaking leaves something left to be desired. Then of course Halo 4's biggest embarrassment, Spartan ops. Not even worth anyones time describing. Horrible story, horrible mission design, repetitive missions, zero variety, pathetic paper thin characters, recycled levels, and a rushed project overall.
Reach was an excellent sendoff for bungie and is criminally underrated. Halo 4 is a disappointing fart to 343i taking over the franchise

Edited by Masontheslayer95: 2/15/2013 2:37:48 AMOkay, there's nothing wrong with the writing of a 15 year old. Now, 13 year olds and below, then we have a problem. But anyways, I wholeheartedly agree with what you said about the graphics. Some parts are superior to Reach and 3, but overall it looks really fake and the animations are much too "cartoony." If we were to compare all of the Halo games, Halo 3's animation and graphic style would look the most realistic. And I always loved Halo: Reach's campaign. It did let me down in terms of what I expected it would let us do, but it didn't even come close to the disappointment of Halo 4's campaign. I waited EXACTLY four years (11.6.08 - 11.6.12) to see Master Chief's story continued, and it was utterly trashed. It's such a shame.

I played through the H3 and Reach campaigns over the last week. The Reach campaign really is excellent, yes there are some missing staples like actual Scarab battles but overall it's got everything and more. The thing that I like most about Reach is the attention to detail, the little things, bits of dialogue. Buck pops up. Halsey instantly recognises Jorge. And on and on. H4 has nothing of that. Beyond the flashing lights and gimmicks it's soulless.

[quote]yes there are some missing staples like actual Scarab battles[/quote] You should watch the developer's commentary on the campaign. There was suppose to be a whole mission where you actually got to drive the scarab through a city. Sadly, it never went through the final version of the game. Bungie had so many good ideas but so little time. We almost got a watercraft vehicle. Almost.
