  1. 1. Reach or Black Ops



Recommended Posts

By now everyone should have played both Reach and Black Ops it's to to see which is better. Please tell which is your favorite and why it is your favorite. Personally I say Reach is more fun because there's more to do. The Firefight is much better than ODST's Firefight, Forge gives you much more freedom to customize, and finally the armor ability's and new weapons that completely change the way you play Halo.

I can't honestly really say one is better than the others, kind of like a typical PS3 vs X360 arguement; I own both yet I appreciate both for what they are. Although I tip my hat towards Black Ops because that's about the only game my friends have nowadays since they trade in their games to buy new games (Something I would never do, ever; unless the game was horrendous.)

I think Firefight is almost equivalent to Zombies and Forge/Custom Private Matches are almost the same as well. Now as to content and what you can do, that may be different because in Reach you can probably create your "own" gametype per say using an outline from a regular game like Team Slayers, but theoretically you can do that for Black Ops as well.

I believe Reach is more a "for fun" game while Black Ops is just a pick me up run'n'gun. Both are excellent games for almost anyone, laid back or serious. Either way, I don't have money to buy map packs.

I own both of them and I would rather play Black Ops than Reach. I play alot better on black ops than Reach & some of you know how I do on Reach.. I like them both don't get me wrong not putting Reach down.. I collect games and the ones I get will be collectors edition if their is the option for it and Reach is one of them but still like I said, I like to play Black Ops before Reach..

(Multiplayer)

Its really hard to compare both games because the gameplay in each game is very different. Yes they are both FPS' but black ops gameplay is more about customizing your characters weapons/perks/killstreaks and has a more "lonewolf" style gameplay(which I like). Halo reach, on the otherhand, centers more on a teamwork style gameplay and that is when its the most fun, which is why playing by yourself in the game can get quite dull at times. Although if you get a group together halo reach is deffinitally one of the funnest games out there especially with all the custom forge/gametypes available.

I feel that Black Ops and all CoD games tend to have a very throwaway feel to your characters life... knife stabs are insta kills and it is far easier to die in CoD then Halo. This creates the sense that preserving your life is pointless and people instead just try to get as many kills as possible.... just my opinion but Reach is a bit less insane :)

I voted for halo...but then again ive always been a huge halo fan. Ive played black ops at ma friends house a few times but i find the game lacking. To me it just seems like a copy of mw2 and didnt deserve the hype...so much in fact that i havent even bought the game which is saying something for me as i buy all the good fps games i can

Well I'll make my judgements based on the single player, Black Ops was awesome in single player, I can't think of a single mission that didn't have me interested and pumped, plus the mindfuck at the end was nice to. As for reach, The single player is good, It's just that I could never get used to the 360's controller,(played it by my friend btw since I don't own a 360) so yeah, the missions were entertaining but it just missed some of the raw, deadly fell that black ops had(I may be biased since I didn't actually finish reach) Though the main thing I like about black ops more than reach, it came out for the Pc, Reach didn't, I suck at online shooters when I'm on consoles. So black ops wins.

I haven't played Black Ops and I never will. After two bad games(WaW, MW2) I have officially stopped playing CoD. The Multiplayer has been turned to shit and as gamer who plays games more for the Multiplayer experience that is a big deal for me. I don't care how good the single player is, no matter how much I like it, it will get boring. As for Multiplayer never gets boring for me.

From what I heard from friends the Multiplayer system in Black Ops is the same as the Multiplayer in MW2. The Multiplayer in CoD: Modern Warfare 2 was unbalanced, if you played the game longer, you had the better guns. That didn't make sense to me? Everyone should have the same opportunity for guns. I like what Reach did as an award system. You get Armor abilities and new Voices for Firefight. Things that are a fun addition to the game, but don't majorly make a difference in actual gameplay.

Reach is just a better game than CoD anyways. The fights last longer and I just feel like I get more out of the game. On top of that, Reach has completely different abilities added to the game that the previous ones didn't have. While all I can tell from Black Ops is that they've made new levels with a few new guns, but the gameplay itself is the same.
