Back to the old, out with the New

20120121-131011.jpgJust recently I’ve gotten back into Halo Reach. It’s been about two years since I’ve actually have picked up the game, so it was a little weird feeling getting back into it due to the fact that I’ve been so used to playing the bigger title releases such as Battlefield 3 and Modern Warfare 3.

To be honest with you, I’ve missed this game. I don’t know what it is about the Halo series, but they’ve always intrigued me more than the Call of Duty games, multiplayer and campaign. I just love the simplicity of the game itself and how easy it is or complex you make it. Plus, I needed a “new” game to play, even if it was an old title.

The first game that I had when coming back to Halo Reach was playing Swat and going 14-4. I don’t know how I did it since I was just getting back into the groove of things, but it happened. Only downfall to Reach is that not many people that I know play it anymore because the bigger titles are dominating the older ones.

On the plus side of things the game is still widely played among the loyal Halo fans. When you go on you can still find a game no problem and Bungie still is keeping up with their servers and not abandoning them like Infinity Ward did with Call of Duty 4.

Halo Reach is running around $39.99 new and $24.99 used based on http://GameStop.com‘s website. The reason it’s still up there in price is because it’s still a semi-popular game. If you are looking for something different to play other than the major titles this year, or you are just simply bored, be sure to check this out.

Battlefield 3

I’ve always been a passionate fan of the Battlefield series and have been an avid player of most of them. Recently I just got back into Battlefield 3 and I used to love everything about it. The Battlefield series always made you feel like you were actually there in the action/in the war that you were fighting for. It always gave me a sense of pride when I would shoot someone in the head over 300 miles away.

Lately I don’t know what has happened to Battlefield 3. I got on today to play a game and was doing really well, but the kids that are on it now just ruined the experience for me. It used to be that barely anyone would try and spawn camp a tank or any vehicle for that matter. Now that I’ve gotten back into it, that’s all you see. That is just the frosting to the cake though. Now you have kids that kill you and tea-bag you for no reason… even if their kill wasn’t even victorious. It’s odd to see that.

I’m not so sure if the community has fallen apart of it’s loyal battlefield players or what, but it has definitely changed from when I used to play. My personal opinion is that the younger audience is playing it now and that all the younger kids from the Call of Duty series has stepped over to Battlefield. The only reason I say this is because you hardly ever saw this kind of nonsense on the playing field prior to the release of Battlefield 3, or even when it first came out for that matter. I just don’t know what has happened.

What’s your opinion on all of this? Do you think that younger audiences are being drawn into these more “mature” games, or is it just the community overall that’s falling apart on these video games? Let me know what you think by dropping a comment on this post!
