Subject: Reach will make us all noobs?

...

Do you guys think Reach's gameplay will be so much different than previous Halo's that we all have to climb that ladder of skill again leaving us with a fresh start like with Halo 3? (Or Halo2, Halo1).

It's a fact that experienced Halo players got a somewhat easier or should i say flying start on their quest pursuing that General rank in Halo 3.

So how do you think the changes the (it will be some changes most certainly) Reach gameplay will affect our skill? In a minor or major way?

Will the best in Halo 3 be the best in Halo:Reach?

boom, head shoot

i think halo reach will be not so far from other halo games :) but i think since its not a sequel to the other halo games, it will be a bit different

Reach needs to be patched. It's the truth.

There shouldn't be any BR.

A mythic member but I speak my mind to much.

The best in Halo 3 will still be the best in Reach.

If they are good in CE, 2, and 3 they are obviously well adapted to game play changes. Reach will be no different, a few things change, weapons altered. But the best will remain the best and will find ways to do things better than the rest of the people here.

taking the BR out wont change much, just means more people will be getting reaped up close and not from afar.

I disagree. Br's were a prototype weapon at Harvest, so I think it would be accessible for Spartans.

lol i didnt read that the johnson book, i started off the thing, it was just too pretensious, so regardless, theyre not gonna pull the whole halo 2 thing were they took out weapons, well maybe for the spartan laser, or some of the new new weapons but nothing drastic again like the assault rifle. and well if they do, there will be riots.

You just got Shakespeared!

NOobs are noobs if your good in Halo 3 then your ganna be good in Reach end of story.

  • 08.10.2009 6:45 PM PDT

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

I think Halo CE veterans should have a leg up in Halo Reach (Like Halo 2 players already knew the gist of Halo 3)

This guy doesn't understand how different some Halo games are from one-another (If you were good in Halo CE, you actually kind of sucked at Halo 2 because it was REALLY DIFFERENT)

not at all, they left the entier idea for halo CE because it was flawed, though yes i loved it it was flawed, not even in halo wars, set after reach reverted to anything halo CE theyre make something up to give you some reason why the weapons are different and all that stuff but they wouldnt go back and change it to something that didnt work.

the game wasnt flawed, just a little imbalanced, they can revert to Halo CE style gameplay, and it won't be flawed.

pretentious, well that sucks. They are good books. People on here do at times sound pretentious, regurgitating block quotes. But the books help give us a better understanding of what to expect from the games. And at times the questions people come up with seem retarded, contradicting the information in the books, but they dont know and thats their issue. >.< lot of wasted bandwidth.
Dont mean to crush dreams of a BR-less future but its probably not gonna happen.

Again a poorly thought out answer, natural talent at a genre of game only goes SO far, when a new game comes out, everyone IS still a Noob, and when Halo 2 came out, alot of good CE players sucked. Just like how alot of pros from Halo 2 aren't out there anymore because of how different Halo 3 is.

"Things are never as they seem..."

If they want the game to sell well and not get the same things said about what was said about Halo 3 (Not enough change in graphics, feels the same), they're going to tweak the game more than a little bit, and maybe fix a few mechanics without having to worry about a BR to work around. Make the game fresh, maybe give it a -slightly- grittier palette, darken the mood with that dreary, oh-god-the-world-is-ENDING feeling, then I'm sure people will love it and praise Halo as king again. My guess.

i didnt mean the whole book idea was arrogant or anything every other book was great, that one was just pretensious, i love that they give back story i live for that kinda thing. that book, just sucked, they worked it around so it made johnson look like jesus or something. im not bashing people who havent read them, but if your a fan and are going to fight and fight without reason about a topic and its wrong, then dont be surprised if someone who knows a bit more gets on ya.

If I recall, they actually made Johnson out to look like a heavily troubled and fragile man.

[Insert Catchy Phrase here]

If we take out the BR a new weapon will replace it.

now that, is a poorly thought out answer, yes it goes so far, maybe you just sucked at halo and are generalizing it to the public. im not saying i was a god but i played halo 2 and i didnt suck at halo 3 so i guess your points are just the babbling or someone who plays halo but isnt that good and can only bash it on the web where noone will know how terribly they play.

Ok, look at the pro rosters from Halo 2, then the ones from Halo 3, though some names are still there (Lunchbox, Tsquared etc.) There are alot of them you don't see anymore. And do you know how many NORMAL players QUIT HALO because they sucked at Halo 3, but were ok at Halo 2?

Alot of other people actually sold Halo 3 and KEPT 2, and still play it online as well.

Also, don't try to sell me out as sucking. Your a Commander, Im a Brigadier.

1, so what about the pro rosters from halo 2 or 3 your saying that people on top of the list then should be now, that stupid, more games mean bigger audiences, obviously reavealing better player.
2, the players that left halo all together because bungie made a game balanced for once, are just proclaiming that they suck.
3, you being a brig means you played social with people who didnt suck, again poorly thought out.

Look at my record before you boast. I carry alot of my games, got my 45 in Lone Wolves, and currently have a 40 in Team Slayer. My record is about 3/4s of my games won (or 75+ or - a few percent) 1.25+ ranked K/D ToD BR, then Sniper.

You didn't think to look before speaking.

Now Im gonna check you out a little.

negative ranked K/D, ToD Melee, then AR, Level 35 in whatever playlist youve played and you have lost a little over half your games.

its almost cute how pretensious you are, almost but frankly just sad, no one cares, your now agruing the point you dont suck, not the point we started at, meaning your other point is wrong, meaning nothing your saying has relevance or anything anyone cares about, boo hoo someone didnt do theyre homework on how evidently "awsome" you are great you got lucky to get 2nd in lone wolves. good for you and your sad achievement.

gets on me? proves me wrong? I hope they do prove me wrong, i hope they do get on me. I will learn something from my ramblings. ha, I actually didnt get a chance to read that book yet. my response was not about that book in particular, I thought you were referring the books in general and the overall attitude of people who have read them. im a bit tired, im not all to sure. when I read it I'll see. ha
