Halo Reach and Black Ops aren't that bad. I know I'm one of those people who gets all nostalgic, coming out with the "Halo 1/2/3 was better" or "Modern Warfare 1 is better than all the newer CoD games combined" but to be perfectly honest, there's nothing wrong with any of the games. They're just not quite as fun for me as their predecessors. Particularly Halo Reach - I loved bungie's approach to Halo 3 - 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' but they've fixed the thing that wasn't broken in Halo Reach, leading to Armour abilities (nice idea, but very flawed) Loadouts (ruined the rush for power weapons) and all the other ZOMG IZ REALISTIC features, i.e. reticule bloom and stuff.
Black Ops is a huge fail though. They tried to balance it, and they removed all CoD's character. It might technically be one of the best, but it's sure as hell not as fun to play as the others. I'm not taking it out on treyarch though - to be fair, they had an old engine to make the game with, and their Activision overlords probably rushed them to complete some things, hence why there were a few bugs when the game came out, and why there still are some.
Also, I've been playing Reach whilst writing this, and it's not that bad at all. Halo 3, no it isn't. But a fun game? I think so. It's just that DAMN ARMOUR LOCK. And the odd bit of lag, but that's it. 36-5 on my first game back in a game of standard Slayer (team deathmatch) and that was out of the 50 kills we needed to win. The icing on the cake? We were against try-hard 'Legends' (incredibly high rank) so go figure :P
