How do you capitilize off of the success of Halo 3, one of the genre's best games ever? You make Halo Reach.

While the campaign of Reach can't hold a candle to the John 117 original trilogy, the multiplayer absolutely blows it out of the water mechanically. While the maps of Halo 3 are undoubtedly better, it feels clunky. Reach? It feels like butter on a muffin.

Everything in Reach multi feels smooth. The DMR is a 10x level up from the BR, the large scale combat and modes of Reach and movement that came with the addition of powerups like sprint and jetpack made Reach not only fun in its launch year, but all the way in 2021 as well.

I'm sorry, but I absolutely don't understand how Reach handles any better than H3, specially its gunplay and sandbox, to me they feel like a downgrade in every single possible way.

It's really preference at the end of the day, I feel going back to 3 it feels really sluggish in comparison to the tools Reach gives you with movement and gunplay tech that i felt improved the game quite a bit.
