Your friendly and eccentric Sangheili forum-poster. :)

Microsoft's TrueSkill ranking system as a progression system. It always bugged me. Not because I can't get to General rank, it's because loads of people take the game too seriously, which isn't fun at all.

I recall a time it took 15 straight wins on lone wolves to move from 25 to 26 while 26 to 27 then took one most of which against higher ranks. I would like to see at least some sort of update like a point system which has some sort of point value on beating opponent of high skills but that beating a general and beating a major have different values for the captain. This system could also be attached to certain medals so that triple kills are worth more then doubles. There already seems to be some sort of ranking system to the medals why not add points to it as well. could add a new way to win matches outside of kills or time limit

Take or or balance the BR

"War is a poor chisel to carve out tomorrow."

i think they should keep the TrueSkill system except make it more liberal. so not after every game you lose you lose a skill level.

Ugh...

LOL, it is like there is a finalized list of things in Reach and we have to take something out of it.

Reach isn't out yet people. The thread title should be;

"What shouldn't carry over from Halo 3 into Halo: Reach?"

How to spell "space"?

S-P-ACE! SPACE!

i seriously hated prowler. i would always be on avalanche flags, was about to get to the man lift for the flag and a stupid prowler comes and kills me. also i think we should make warthogs more resistable to plasma weapons, a ghost would take out all your shield in like 5 secs
what do you think?

I think the Warthog should be less resistant to all forms of damage, the old style of taking out Warthogs was with the good old right trigger, not the left.

You are a genius.

Also, an obvious one would be the BR. As a replacemnt, I'd like either the M6C/SOCOM from ODST, or another toned-down version of the M6D from Halo: CE.

I want the typical Halo MP thrown out the window. Halo is now VERY stale to me and I want something different.

I agree kill the Prowler!

  • 07.04.2009 7:53 PM PDT

Reach is time when brutes where not in power. So you are not likely to see a prowler.
I think you would see more spectres than prowlers.
BR should be made weaker so it wouldnt dominate from short to long range.

Guess what? I love Melee lunges and Team Duels.

I think Halo's gameplay is great, personally. It's just a matter of balancing the old and new, like with Equipment in Halo 3.

The BR didn't come 'till the beginning of First Strike so most of the game you'll have to get over it...

  • 07.04.2009 10:06 PM PDT

I don't think the BR is loved as much overall as people may think, it's just the best weapon in the game for almost every situation. I'm not one for making Halo more like CoD in any way shape or form (if you've read half of my posts they're about how much I'd hate Halo being more like it), but one thing I think cod has on Halo is the ranking system. It just feels good to go up a rank in CoD, and it being in game, during a match, makes it seem somewhat more real, like you better earned it. When you rank up in Halo it's like 'Yeah! now can I rank up next match or do I have to wait fifteen more wins before I can go up again?' or 'Sweet! Now let's win 20 more matches lose one, go down a rank, then go negative and lose 5 matches and go up a rank!' (It's happened to me before.) Going down rank makes no sense. I'd really like a fusion of CoD and Halo's ranking system. As long as they do something about the BR and don't add classes I'm happy.

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

I want the Pillar of Autumn Special (halo 1 pistol, balanced), the Navy Magnum (halo 2 pistol) and the ODST pistol (ODST magnum) for more variety. Spice them up with different magazine sizes, damage, scope amounts, rates of fire, etc.

I don't want BR bullets to be able to knock over a warthog. They have too much push behind them.

Edit:

-=$ The Battle Rifle will not find the warm embrace of love with me. Instead, it will feel the cold, icey grip of one forced, one mandated by circumstance, into beteraying his ideals and morals for a temporary reprieve from the current situation. The Battle Rifle, in my hands, is alone, cold, lonely, in the dark. An unholy pairing, one willing, one pushed to extreme measures, creating a painful unity that lasts only as long as the advantage. As soon as the tide of battle changes, so too will the rifle fall from my hands, lest it's personality take more root within me than is strictly necessary. It will fall to the ground, with a dull clatter. Scratched, empty, and wounded, the Battle Rifle cries out,
"why?"
I reply, not looking back,
"because you disgust me."

I don't think you are allowed to talk about bungie on Bungie.net.

Lunging while meleeing and flying through the air with the energy sword.
