Not Spartans 3. They are literal mass produced spartans.
I haven't played it in a decade, that's for sure. Were Noble Team suicide mission grunts? I thought they were just regular Spartans on Reach, or maybe semi-decorated Spartans (they got saddled with Cortana after all), and when all the shit hit the fan they're the ones who stepped up.
More or less. They are cheap and fast to produce and became suicide mission units for the sake of reach.

spartan 3s were regular dudes in budget power armor made to be expendable because real spartans like captain king are a massive investment of time and money

Although Spartan 3s in general were made as suicide mission fodder, those that performed the best in training tended to get selected to be in proper spartan fireteams to supplement the remaining Spartan 2s. this is why noble and the corpses in 'the last stand' are wearing proper gucci mjolnir armor instead of the ONI stealth suits their martyred brothers wore on their suicide missions. Reach even tells you Noble 6 was picked as an ONI spook before he joined noble and we get the impression the rest of noble have been operating this way for several deployments before being sent to reach.
They're blue light special spartans. They're just good enough to get a job done if you throw enough of them at the problem and don't have to worry about the logistics of exfiltration. They show up, they frick shit up, and they die there. It's also why it was a totally moronic idea to make a whole game based around them. Reach tried to be Saving Private Ryan with individual personalities and motivations and all of these people working as a dysfunctional team trying its best to accomplish an impossible goal, but the problem is that there were no personalities and motivations except Jorge - not coincidentally the only Spartan II in the game.
It served one purpose: to not have to live up to any previously established plot and lore because that's easier to design. The Spartan IIs are still out there preparing to kidnap a prophet. No, really, they're somewhere out there. Never you mind what they were doing in orbit for a month since we retconned the fall to be longer than a couple of hours of mostly glassing. Halsey's journal explains it, bro.
No they were exactly the same as master chief in reach. Reach took book ideas (names and placed) and twisted them to its own ends. There's nothing worse than loregays who bend over backwards to justify bungie's tremendous continuity break as if it secretly fits perfectly. Even the writer of the first book had to bend over backwards in the limited edition book (pic related) to try and justify noble team.
Bungie cared from halo CE to ODST. After ODST, when Bungie's soul was disassembled by the corporate machine, they stopped caring. Book references included things like the orbital defence platforms and ODSTs in halo 2. There is also the covenant cultural attitude as a whole, that came from the books. So you are wrong. The games were heavily influenced by the books, so the people who only play the games do in fact care about the books. They don't need to read them.
Wait, i thought that they only called chief demon, am i misremembering or was this softly retconned like "MC and Noble 6 were the only hyper-lethal spartans" scenario?
They could easily explain this away >helmet gets scratched in the midst of battle >it still functions mostly ok >he uses this as a opportunity to carve a skull into it so it looks cool instead of replacing it because helmets like his cost millions
Nah, 4 and 5 are pretty shitty too, but they didn't feel as fricking tryhard as reach. Reach was the 2010 equivalent of "i just moved shit with my freaking mind haha!"
Infinite started alright but then fell down a hole of >uhhh…we're on vacation for christmas…what do you mean its April?
reach was the worst of the bungie halos sure, but to pretend it was worse than 4, 5, or infinite is insane
Gameplay wise, most of the shit in 4 and 5 originated in Reach
The entire cast of characters are cardboard cutouts, basically lifted directly from a writers quick reference, and then the game expects us to give a shit about any of them when they die
The whole >oh wow you're a secretive super soldier that has a very redacted file, welcome to the team
was already tired in 2010
Emile himself was the epitome of tryhard, as evidenced by the moronic skull on his visor. But the other characters were shit >there's the commander (thats his personality) >the gentle giant >the girl (she's good with electronics) >the badass (emile) >the sniper, who is like totally a stoic dude! >The secretive REDACTED who REDACTED The REDACTED (You)
The levels are a disjointed mess, barely tying into each other at all. A transition between two of them is on the same level of "oh you're finally awake"
Ideally there should have been only other 3 spartans beside you >Carter (no nonsense boss) >Kat (the girl, nice ass, and hack0r skills) >Jorge (big guy, serves the purpose of contrasting how different IIs and IIIs are)
Jun and Emile are the fricking same, hell, there are still people to this that think he died in Reach because that is how boring he is
This, also what bothers me is that it's set up that besides Carter, none of noble team really trusts 6, because a) hes literally an ONI spook, and b) because theyre still sad about the original 6 dying, but besides some dialogue in the second mission, it never gets brought up again.
How is this any worst than the previous halo games? Their writing isn't that deep anyway and if it was I bet homosexuals like you would start screaming "pretentious"

Nta, but the tone definetly helped, halo 1-3 were more light-hearted and traditionally heroic despite how fricking grim everything is if you thought about for more than 1 second, but Reach took itself way more seriously

I'm amazed people to this day miss reach having the structure of a traditional stage play
the characters are intentionally cardboard cutouts, the scene transitions are abrupt and non-sensical on purpose
I don't like preaching about muh culture but I feel like reach really shows how little understanding there is of even the most basic concepts among the general populace
Before Reach, I'd played every Halo on and off from pretty much the day it launched till its sequel came out. I got tired of fricking Reach in a couple months, and had set it down within a year.
Halo 4 and 5 held out a bit longer, because there was more variety of shit to do in them, Halo 5 Warzone and Fiesta in particular were good stupid fun. But reach was just such a pile of dogshit. The multiplayer was unbalanced, armor abilities sucked, the bloom ruined everything, and the maps were trash.
At this point, I just assume anyone who defends reach online is a zoomer or a moron (the former of which is a subset of the latter) and disregard anything they have to say.
>if you defend this game your a sticky poo poo head and I’ll ignore you no matter what
Shitposting zoomers are always so easy to spot since they say dumb shit like this.
It was dumb bullshit they added because skull face masks were big in Call Of Duty. Halo Reach was the first game in the series that was influenced more by other games than it was influencing other games. Decline.
there is no dollar in halo, there is the highly creatively named credit.
and that helmet does not cost billions of them, and none of the equipement spartans use is even remotely as expensive as the spartan itself, nor does military care about damage to the equipment when they deploy their last ditch supersoldiers, because at that point shit has hit the fan and budget deficits are the least of their worry.
They were trying to make their own version of ghost from COD and ultimately failed in the process. All of reaches cast is forgettable and shows how desperate bungie/343 was to stay relevant and compete with other AAA shooters by loosely copying them.
I'm 30. I still have my midnight release case around here somewhere. But I don't have the disc, because I snapped it in half and took a shit on it. Here's the first half of that last sentence. I could be convinced to take the ban and post the last half if there's enough demand to make the satisfaction of the payoff worth it.
This thread will probably archive
Youre better off starting your own thread with this picture at primetime tomorrow with the title >I think reach SUCKS
and then post the pooped on pic as the second post and hope the jannies don't snipe you like Kat
You'll either get banned immediately or you'll get a mountain of (You)'s
It's hard to be sure. I was briefly known as shitjar anon 7 years ago due to similar circumstances, and that one just had people really taken in by a greentext in which I purported to still have possession of a jar of doo doo feces from a few days prior due to a broken toilet and normie interference.
I get why people don’t like reach but I like all of the bungie halos, the original trilogy comes close but none of them are perfect. They’re all great for different reasons
>reach
his fault for being in zoomer trash
>Halo: Reach
>zoomer game
You just outed yourself, zoom zoom.
He's no Jorge, but he did have a cool vest.
Reminder that saucy is a /soc/gay with an unironic scat fetish. He seriously gets turned by poop and dirty diapers and has posted about it before.
just filter the name and move on with your life
yeah
Didn't I see your moronic diper obsessed ass back in a bunch of sonic threads a while back?
Eat shit, shit-eater
Frick dude. I already told you I don't eat shit unless it's from a girl's ass!
Oh of course the guy who said my gwen ai pics are homosexual has a literal shit taste. I'm not surprised. You're sick. have a nice day
They don't need the visor to see and it takes life threatening damage to actually break the helmet

then why have it?

Spartans cost a brick to make.
At least a million or two.

>calling other people lorelets
>gets it completely wrong himself
sasuga
In the books they were canon fodder but reach fixed that gay ass lore thankfully
Nah, it actually enforces that because after Reach in the bungie trilogy you meet no other Spartans
Only Jorge was an actual Spartan-II. The rest were Spartan-III's which were literally mass produced cannon fodder for suicidal operations

in retrospect making them IIIs instead of IIs didn't seem like it really served any narrative purpose.

Who cares about book lore gays, 99% of halo fans care only about the games

he did it to strike fear in the heart of xenoBlack folk
why would xenos be scared of a human skull
they literally call spartans demons.
they only called John a demon and it was out of respect because he was a great warrior that projected fear into his enemies
Wait, i thought that they only called chief demon, am i misremembering or was this softly retconned like "MC and Noble 6 were the only hyper-lethal spartans" scenario?
They thought we were jellyfish
>zoomies ruin the one and only body that God gave them with shitty tattoos, fast food, and hormones
t. hasn't done the one and only thing his body exists to do yet
The only options for sex these days are whales, walking canvases, and trannies.
Literal incel holy shit
having sex doesnt make you exempt from hate dipshit
Have sex loser, holy shit.
They could easily explain this away
>helmet gets scratched in the midst of battle
>it still functions mostly ok
>he uses this as a opportunity to carve a skull into it so it looks cool instead of replacing it because helmets like his cost millions
thats literally what happened in the 'soft' lore.
Reach really was halo at its worst. And fricking zoomers cling to it like its citizen kane
>Reach really was halo at its worst.
You've clearly never played any of the other halos.
I'm willing to let him pretend he's right if it means saving even one soul from playing 343's atrocities
Nah, 4 and 5 are pretty shitty too, but they didn't feel as fricking tryhard as reach. Reach was the 2010 equivalent of "i just moved shit with my freaking mind haha!"
Infinite started alright but then fell down a hole of >uhhh…we're on vacation for christmas…what do you mean its April?

whats some examples of reach being tryhard cant think of anything worse than what was in 4

>it's bad on purpose
lol
It's not bad, it's mid.
it's not bad, you just personally hate it went out of its way to be something else
Would you please elaborate? I'm having trouble reconciling "it tried to be different" with "it lifted its structure from a template".
reach was the worst of the bungie halos sure, but to pretend it was worse than 4, 5, or infinite is insane
>Black person spartan
>only one on noble team to deface UNSC property
What did they mean by this?
Reach is filled with non characters, i don’t get why people pretend to mourn for them
because when the game came out most of them were children
people cried when bambi's mom died, same shit
kids who thought "objective survive" was cool and try to rationalize that the rest was good too
their role as budget spartans is pretty accurate because even the people inside the suits were made of cardboard to save money
I have a soft spot because I played it the weekend I got my dick wet.
It's still a kino game tho. a calm documentary-like progression was kino
>billion dollar armor
>spartans loses their breath from running

I just liked forge and custom games
reach was the last game with decent big team so you're gay
>t. zoomer cattle
And decent Bungie made Forge.
Halo 4 was shit I quit during the first level.
Reach was the best Halo game, period.
Fricking based, Reach has always been the shittiest Halo.
explain why
>if you defend this game your a sticky poo poo head and I’ll ignore you no matter what
Shitposting zoomers are always so easy to spot since they say dumb shit like this.
its just millennials inserting zoomers into everything they dont like
>t. sticky poo poo head
This is the kind of shit that's unironically cool only to 16-year-olds.
yes this game was gay but still playable. just take out the load outs and cod perks and forge world laziness and you have a game
>dude just change the game into a good game and then it would be good!
yes
is the Fall of Reach book better than the game? Does the game contradict it?
the book is good
the game is not
simple as
It was dumb bullshit they added because skull face masks were big in Call Of Duty. Halo Reach was the first game in the series that was influenced more by other games than it was influencing other games. Decline.
i thought spartans were special operations units? like assassinations, scouting and intel collecting?

what touhou girl is that
What did he even do besides shoot one elite and get stabbed by another?
Been playing Halo since it came out, I'm 32 going on 33 and Reach is my favorite game in the entire franchise.
You can all suck my fricking dick like the homosexuals that you all are.

reach campaign is kino as frick, you sort of have to be a giga chad to understand
thats cool as frick why are you such an goody 2 shoes gay
>Survived dozens of years with that damage till the end
ok moron, non issue
Reach? What are they reaching for??
Armor Abilities trigger classicgays
skulls have always been used to intimidate the enemy, eat a dick homosexual
