Subject: Halo: Reach another bandwagon jump? Or Back to Roots

Halo 3 is for noobs. Gg NoRe.

Well, I obviously see that the Halo 3, and the ODST forums are full of fan boys. However, most of them never laid touch on Halo 1 or Halo 2 and saw the greatness and simplicity of those games.

So this is the question. Will Halo: Reach go back to its roots. Where a skill gap is significant, where the ranking system is more like Halo 2's, and not crap like Halo 3. Will we see simple maps, where there isn't 30,000 cracks a grenade can bounce randomly. Will we see maps with good structure rather then detail. Will we see a gun that is finally consistent, and beat downs that actually go to the person with quicker reflexes.

OR will we follow the nut cases who fell in love with Halo 3 at first sight, that jumped on the Halo series Bandwagon. Will we see more barbie dress up armor permutations, will we see every kid in Halo with a bought 50. Will we see the Halo: Runescape, or Halo with Horde, and Zombies(ODST). Will we see obsessed 2 year old's and no life 16 year old's stressing there life over precious achievements. Will we remakes of maps that are terrible, or maps that are two big for competitive play. Will we see a more newb friendly game where anybody can win, hence beat downs where even if you are slow you can kill a pro now. Is Halo: Reach going to have all that extra junk surrounding the actual core gameplay like theater, and forge.

Or will the Halo community finally see that what Halo is, is a fast paced shooter. That doesn't need different armor, 50 weapons, newb friendly gameplay, huge maps, theater, forge, screenshots, firefight, maps with detail, graphics, or achievements.

What made Halo 1 and Halo 2 great was this: Core gameplay was fast paced, competitive for hardcore gamers, and fun for casual. With simple, but with good maps and a huge skill gap.

Warning: You may find that my, or someone else's opinion does not comply with yours. Side effects of disagreement may include (but are not limited to): flaming, irrational behavior, broken keyboards, and/or nervous sweats. If you experience any of these symptoms refrain from communicating with others until the symptoms have subsided.

If you want it exactly the same as Halo 1. Why don't you just play Halo 1.

Although some of the things you stated could be worked on, ultimately I want a new game.

(And with all the questions you asked, the only question mark you used was in the title.)

Back to roots! Back to roots! Back to roots! If i want to play a fps game with classes and stuff, then i'll just play Call of Duty MW2 or Battlefield.

  • 08.26.2009 10:23 PM PDT

Damnit Sike X, you were bashing ODST in the ODST forum too. ODST did NOT make Firefight because of N4zi's or Horde.

  • 08.26.2009 10:24 PM PDT

i only jumped on the halo 3 bandwagon because i just an xbox 360 after years of having nintendo consoles and at the time was halo 3 was the game to get. i never played halo: ce or halo 2 when they where in there prime (but i did buy the games). i agree with what you say. i like simple maps that are easy to navigate and are easy on the eyes. i also hate all of the 9 year old kid and 16 year olds screaming in my ears everyother match calling me every name in the book even though i dont know what i did to piss them off.

is it true microsoft is closing down the halo 2 severs after odst is released. i regret selling halo 2 but if the multiplayer isnt there then i dont wanna rebuy it.

And theres a problem with that? Co op games like that are great, who cares if it was a marketing feature, its still gonna be fun and awesome.

Personally i'd like to see an element of Ghost Recon in there

Signatures are for squares.

Let me just say, "Large maps to big for competitive play" is complete garbage.

  • 08.26.2009 11:52 PM PDT

for ace

Sure I want elements of Halo CE into Reach, however this is a new game and would like to see what Bungie does with it.

  • 08.27.2009 1:10 AM PDT

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want do look more like?

I did play halo:CE beat it on all difficulties.
I did play halo 2 beat on all difficulties and played mp for like 2 years, I didnt like it.
I play halo 3 beat all difficulties still play mp and Im loving it..

I think theres been improvement gameplay vise in all halos except halo 2 where I think it dropped slightly

issakcer

lol no huge maps? Halo CE had loads of huge levels. Kind of a big fail. Although I do want to see a more competitive game. There are custom game options for fooling we don't need a casual game.

Yes they did.

They jumped on the marketing band wagon.


Your'e an idiot. Bungie made a survival mode probably before you were born.

Not when the game is as random and close-range-dependent as Halo 2 and 3...

It's just to earn them as much money as they can make.

Because heaven forbid we use a custom game for competitive play.

  • 08.27.2009 5:01 AM PDT

Just enjoy the damn game!
Who cares about BR vs AR

Halo is the bandwagon. If they create a game, the amount of fans the Halo series has will ensure massive sales. If they make it good enough, even CoD and GoW people will join the Halo fanbase.

Competitive doesn't mean no radar with half the weapons removed. If all weapons in the game were unique and consistent, the game would be competitive, like Halo 1, and cater to both the casuals and competitive players (working ranking system), whereas Halo 2 and 3 only cater to the casuals.

Really, clearly someone doesn't spend enough time around casual players. Most of them think Halo 3 is catered to the Hardcorist. Just because a weapon has a spread does not make it inconsistent. And I have always that Halo 3 has had some of the most unique weapons, by comparison.

I agree that Halo: CE was the best, but why do you hate Halo 3 so much? I enjoyed the gameplay more, but it's ridiculous of you to blatantly dislike all of the new features.

Why do you hate Forge, Theater, armor permutations, huge maps, screenshots, detail, graphics, and achievements so much? They are positive aspects of the game that make it more enjoyable to play for a long period of time. They don't negatively affect gameplay, they make it more fun and give it longevity.

You need to not be ignorant, Halo is a game designed to appeal to a large audience, not you.

"Waaah if you like Halo 2/3 you aren't a real Halo fan and didn't like Halo 1 and don't deserve the Halo series"
