Lol, nothing bro. Just messing around with ya. Anyways, yea I do see what you are saying. CE was hard, which made it great. The melees didn't lunge at you from 10 feet away and you actually had to aim to melee someone. Halo 2 did in with some noob stuff, like the easy sniper. Halo 3 tried to balance it by making the H3 sniping like Halo: CE, but then they made an uber shotgun and bubble shields and regens and so on...
Give the Reach thing a shot, even if its "noob-friendly," I have a feeling you and I will have no trouble kicking their you-know-whats.
P.S., what I was talking about is that I remember you Pwn at H3, that's all lol!
-Deadeye XS, the SYN one...
