Bull shit. There was a weapons upgrade and a graphics overhaul on Halos 1-3.
That why they were different from each other, I don't get how my statement is wrong if you said yourself weapons and graphics changed.

but with games such as the call of duty franchise and battlefield, the gameplay mainly changes in weapons you can use, so they seem like sports games, so I believe Halo: Reach will surpass Medal of Honor and CoD: Black Ops.
I use to think that. But the Beta disappointed me. I tried COD MW2 online and haven't gone back to halo since. Even the recoil in MW2 isn't as terrible as the Reach Beta.
I know you said that you know this already but, it was the beta, MW2 is agreeably addictive and fun to play online, but it offers the same thing over and over, killing and if wanted, objectives of some sort, and with Bungies zero bug release, hopefully they changed the amount of recoil, all we can do is wait and see for time being.
The last halo game that was actually good in my opinion was halo 3 and it's pretty old now, and everything possible that was exciting is old now, this is the reason call of duty releases every year or so, so that consumers don't get bored and tired of the game and that they can attempt to remove exploits in predecessors and change the experience by a bit, while halo 3 on it's own lasted 2 years, and Halo CE still has a community to date.

Unless Forge World lets you change the physics, character models, and weapon characteristics I don't think I'll be buying this game. I'll stick to Halo Custom Edition and the occasional Halo 2 Vista. The only advantage Forge World has over those games is the graphics.
Forge world also lets you create dead zones, out of bounds where if you pass it you have 10 seconds or so to return before you are killed by the guardians, change the colors of blocks to represent blue base, red base, green, etc. and you can make it so you can face someone above you, upside down.
Character models, from what I know of, depending on what team you are on you'll use your elite or spartan character model, so you can have a game of infection where whoever is the zombie, is an elite.
Weapon characteristics is something that is also in halo 3, if you are talking about the damage, and you can pickup and swap different armor abilities, I think the possibilities in Halo: Reach now, are truly never ending, Halo: Reach has great potential.
On another note, after watching the "
Halo: Reach Panel at Comic Con" what I seem to be looking forward to now is that, if you're able to drive forklifts now, what else can we do?
I don't think you were ever able to change the weapon characteristics, game physics, and character models in Halo 3's Forge.
Forge just gives you some blocks to put together. There are a lot of creative people who do wonders with this. But Halo CE lets you build an entire game from the ground up. Thank goodness there is still enough people online to play support the game.
Back in halo 3, in the game type options, you could change the amount of damage a player could exert and amount of gravity on a player, whereas halo reach game type options lets you choose what character model a person uses, but only from 2 options, elite or spartan.
Halo 3's forge was something that just gave you blocks and whatnot, thats why I'm looking forward to Halo: Reach's Forge, you can build a map with many different characteristics now, and you can create actual dead zones that kill you if you pass them, Forge world is gonna be the closest thing for console gamers that love halo, to create a game ground up, I myself loved Halo CE and I also have great expectations for Reach.

I'm going to buy it for the lulz.
Plus, the new and improved firefight 2.0 (as bungie calls it) does seem like an attractive feature. With the whole customizable crap added to it, and that now every time someone leaves the game doesn't end. Thats enough for me.
But the jet pack did piss me off. The game involved too much jumping and flying as it was, but jet packs??
Oh, and Blood Gulch is coming back, that alone will make me buy it.
I agree with everything but with the jumping and flying part, I don't think many people will be using the jet pack, as you said the was already a lot of jumping, imo I can only see noobs or kids actually using it. Armor lock, Sprint, Cloak, Hologram, drop shield/bubble shield and barrel roll will probably be used most, as to me they seem the most strategic armor abilities, jet packs will probably be used in custom games and such tho.
armor lock is pretty easy to counter imo stand back, wait, and throw a plasma or something along those lines. I'm looking forward to the holograms and deployed shields.
