Sadly, the franchise was ruined by corporate greed.

Reach was amazing, don't forget that.

The 'Remember Reach' promo video was the tits when it came out

Default Halo Legacy Collection [Upper Deck e-Pack on 5/8/2025]

Not wholly against Reach….was Bungie after all. Would easily prefer it to anything post-Reach. Halo peaked at 3 for me though and I did not end up playing much Reach. I mainly play multiplayer. Among other things, one thing that bugged me in reach were the capabilities…the sprinting, just pulling OS or invis out of nowhere etc (I may be misremembering exactly how that worked as it’s been a very long while since even playing reach). H3 multiplayer was, and continues to be, what I consider Halo perfection. H1’s campaign was probably the best.

I loved Reach, easily my favorite of the franchise. You know how it ends, and it's not a good ending, but the story and characters are very moving. I didn't mind Halo 4, but Guardians was just bad.

What's been sadder is watching Bungie become a shell of its former self. They probably don't exist in the next 12 months unless one of the big publishers buys them.

Default Halo Legacy Collection [Upper Deck e-Pack on 5/8/2025]

Yea from a campaign perspective I could see that. I’m mostly just going from multiplayer perspective, and admittedly not too versed in some of the campaigns.

There was a shift in graphics from H3 to reach, just the way the game looked. I always thought H3 graphics looked better…a hill I will die on to this day. Dunno if anymore remembers but there was quite the discussion on that around the time Reach came out. Reach’s graphics are apparently technically superior based on specs, but I always thought H3 looked the best…like a painting. Always thought reach was a little “too crisp” and a bit jarring in a way, if that makes sense…I just like the classic look of H3 the most.

But hey I’m all for Reach compared to later games like Halo 4 or 5…it’s a shame what happened with halo.

Digital boobies. Thirsty dweebs.

Jokes (based on reality) aside, she's an integral part of the Halo story, an aide to Master Chief, and a saviour of humanity.

She’s my favorite character and not because of digital boobies lol. She’s the second main character next to Master Chief

I thought when I got to 9 banished, it was going to give me the mythic lol. I only just realized you get a Blue and you need 27 total banished for a mythic. So I’ll be content with one blue haha.

I've managed to cobble together one blue so far.. sadly it's of Mickey Crespo.

That was a chore and a half, and with barely anyone trading I think that's as far as I go.

I don't see how anyone completes mythics or metal sets. Upper Deck really structured the achievements to try to get whales to buy fifty cases of this. I will say, I really like the set, I've been buying it. But my initial assessment of the value not being there at $150 is holding true. That's not to say there aren't bangers; the metal Master Chief is comping at 400 and the Cortana/Master Chief dual auto is doing 1k. I'd love to own either of those.

The sketches are another banger also, they are selling very strongly. The market for Sketches, Dual autos (numbered) and metal cards is very strong.
