Subject: Halo:reach...what could ruin it?

The same Halo 3 AR.

Seriously, that gun single handedly put thousands of players off the game, ruined Lone Wolves, and has encouraged a whole new generation of spraying and praying rushers.

Of course, the biggest cause of this is that it's the starting weapon - which of course needs to change. I can see the game (even Halo 3 in its current state) balancing out nicely if the AR was just another weapon placed on the map rather than spawning with it.

Hopefully Bungie will introduce a weapon with a range in between the AR and BR, decent accuracy and semi-automatic, but not as accurate as the BR. That would be the perfect starting weapon tbh. No rushing encouraging, no spraying and praying, but not being instantly disadvantaged at spawn.


that would be the Carbine, too bad you cannot make it a starting weapon in Halo 3, it is semi auto, requires a decent amount of skill, has a headshot system, and isnt as good as BR long range, it isnt as good as AR exteremely close range...it also can never have bullet return like the BR and AR it is perfect..........

There are two things on this forum that piss me off;
Idiots and group invites.
What's even worse, is that I can never seem to get away from either of them ¬_¬

Master Chief time-travelling to save Reach. Why not have him pick up a pair of humpbacked whales while he's at it.


I wonder if I'm the only one who got the reference... lol

Anyway, back on-topic, I think the worst thing would be a repeat of Halo. If this game is an FPS with multi-player, how is the game really gonna be so different to Halo 3? Different shielding, lack of weapons, perhaps, but I don't really think that counts.

I don't want to see Halo with different graphics, characters and a couple of small gameplay changes. That would be aweful.

Dude I don't care and my grammer is perfect.I used "Big", as you recall it to mak is specific."to not do...",is incorrect beause "do" is present tense/perfect(or future) when it was a past tense.

Odd, as it was Halo2's inclusion of the BR and loss of the AR that brought the game to where it is now, a breeding ground for the hyper competitive. That group of people have shaped Halo3's playlist weakness's by playing nothing other than slayer variants, and why? Because the BR makes slayer easy as pie, why play anything else, you don't need to think tactically. Just shoot the other guy from range and and spawn trap. An AR actucally forces you to play the game, not just sit back and shoot someone.

what i find fun is when everybody has the same weapons... or each team gets a sniper/rocket.. instead of the one for people to contest over..

when every one is equeal it becomes a deul of skill not who was lucky to spawn closer to the power weapon..
