Subject: Halo Reach more like CE then 2/3?

Anyone else agree that Reach seems more like Halo CE then 2/3. Most of the people who are complaining about the new Beat seem to be signaling out things that werent in halo 3, but were actually in CE. Health, Speed/Jump, reticule bloom (not shown in CE but was still there). So i just want to know if the guys on the CE forum think that Reach is more like CE than 2/3 and if you like it or not?

I like it.

DEFINITELY.

Health & health packs. Fall damage & stun. Auto-aim. Hitboxes. Only thing I'm a bit disappointed in is melee lunging is still here, albeit reduced somewhat.

An absolutely huge improvement over Halo 2 & Halo 3.

At least it is reduced. The hammer and sword lunge needs to be reduced also but at least you arent flying in with a beatdown like you were in halo 3.

Reticule bloom needs to be removed. I want the DMR to be a lot more like the Halo 1 pistol. I'd say increase the power to 4 headshots per kill.

Even though the reticule bloom does make it more realistic. (I like it.)

Sorry to break your bubble but the halo 1 pistol HAD BLOOM. it just wasnt visualized. Play it again and spam the trigger or let it fire full auto and you'll see

Attitudes are contagious, mine might kill you.


If you're looking for my Halo 2 online records my account was "Destri" back then, but for some reason xbox live won't let me link it to my bungie profile :( Well whatever I guess.

Fall damage & stun.


Ugh, fall damage was so stupid, read the books.

As a die hard fan of the original, who put countless hours into that game - When I play reach it takes me back. 'nuff said.

I know that, but in gameplay it's a huge tactical factor.

Yes, but it was within the smaller reticle. Completely different.

I agree. It's the most fresh Halo experience since the first game, with the exception of ODST which was more like Halo: Combat Evolved anyway.

Wanna know why my username is so q.ueer? Cuz I was 17 when I made it. And I was a q.ueer at 17. Everyone is.

Two things.

1.)Wild Recon. Check it out.

2.) ODST 4th Battalion. Join it. Love it. Live it.

It's the definitive Halo. It's what we've been waiting for since Halo 3.

After playing the beta and reading about the campaign, I'm glad that Bungie is going to finish off the series with a game so similar to CE. It feels like they've come full circle with the series and are going to end it on a high note. I have very high hopes for Reach's campaign, I think it could have a really similar feel to what CE's campaign felt like.
