Hey-Chicka-Bump-Bump.

I would love to know why YOU hate Halo: REACH.

Be prepared for a few intelligent posts, and a chunk of mindless hate.

It was cloaked? Even better!!!!!


So somehow a 16 mile long ship was able to get past all the slipspace monitoring stations of humanity's Strongest and most fortified fortress, It then somehow was able to cloak! despite this contradicting everything we know about the covenant and not to mention the UNSC sensors and ships would be able to detect the [b] enormous amount of heat from said ship.
But somehow they didn't! The entire reach fleet was destroyed by 1 ship despite and reinforcements were called in despite the planet not being under attack and the UNSC not having communications or knowing about this.



You idiots should know that supporting "this version" of reach just makes both sides look utterly stupid. The UNSC has to be the dumbest Faction of race in Sc-Fi if it was so God-damn easy for a covenant super carrier to completely siege reach all by itself for a month.Not to mention if the UNSC decided that it was "smarter" to have a SMAC aim at the planet to destroy one shield-less Covenant corvette than send in a frigate or squadron of longswords then they are @@itty tacticians and i don't see how they have lasted in this war.

The UNSC should now be pushed lower on the overall technological tier if their ships do not have thermal sensors to detect a mile long ship just dicking around in orbit for a month.
Speaking of technology If i can destroy 1 of 3 relays for the planet to be completely black then they are stupid engineers .


NOW LETS WORK ON THE COVENANT !!!!

This race must be the dumbest conglomerate of aliens if they decide to use 1 cloaked ship at the end of the war and never use them again. So after 27 years of fighting now you decide to use ships with camo? whats wrong you got tired of losing ships in space that you could easily replace? Hey truth "why didn't you just give all your ships camo so that way you would lose far less ships in space"? seriously, if you had camo all along you could have won at harvest,Groombridge,XI Bootus A or any other engagement you lost in space.

SMAC rounds knocking you down at earth?GO CAMO, Schism over high charity GO CA-- wait the covenant has thermal sensors and the brutes would notice you?
I didn't know that you had to be space faring for over 3,000 years to think think thermal sensors were a good idea and sense you have them we can assume the forerunners did also since you get everything from them.

Am i done yet? No no not at all; see i just got off the phone with regret and he told me (in his mystical voice) that they found reach to be the most important engagement so they used their one cloaked SC on reach, boy was that a funny convo. He Told me that he knew truth was going to get ride of him so he wasted the on SC that could go camo which turns out to be the reason truth [b]did
want to kill him.


Really people, your degrading the haloverse if you are supporting this

I guess people nowadays look for one thing wrong with something and ignore all the great awesomeness.


I honestly didn't really find reach to be "fun" the campaign itself was better than halo 3 but it is hard to enjoy something with errors in your face.

It's like meeting a new person with a giant mole on their face.

"What do you hear?"
"Nothing but the rain."
"Then grab your gun and bring in the cat."
"Boom, boom, boom!"

So...terribly distracting and you just can't help but point it out?

  • 07.01.2011 4:00 PM PDT

If you're passionate about the thing you're talking about, I'll always lend an ear.

Storyline and Gameplay. At the bare minimum. Campaign Direction and design choices and integration of dubious functions that serve no purpose but to make an easier game.

Can't rant about it now, but thats some of the reasons. Just go on the Reach forums and you'll find a few threads that have recycled the same issue since Reach's release.

It's not all bad though. The visuals have improved.

You realize that your going to get different answers from different people from both the people the like and dislike it, right?

For example you've posted this in the universe forum, so you're probably only going to get responses that are story related because that's the niche that runs rampant in this particular forum.

In any case as for me I don't hate Reach. I enjoy playing through the campaign, however, I dislike how the friendly AI has take several steps back compared to previous Halo games along with how inconsistent Reach's storyline and progression is compared to the rest of the text based Haloverse as a whole.

Matchmaking is funner and if you were a real time forger then there would be no way to hate the game. I mean I was playing Halo 3 forge the day before I got Reach and I spent two hours trying to line up a wall directly next to another wall and then cussing out my (g)ay friend for deleting it by accident. And then when I saw the new forge system, I was in awe.


Is there seriously a reason why you had to make the distinction with your friend's orientation?

Just for the record, the battle at Szurdok Ridge (Aka Tip of the Spear) took place in August 13, Operation UPPERCUT took place in August 14, so the Supercarrier is destroyed a day after it reveals itself, not a month later.

well i didn't hate it, i just didn't like it... it didn't hawe the spark, the spark witch helped the other halo series, i was disapointed that there were no aincient building, flood and other things, my most fav part in halo 1. and 2. when i entered the forerunner structure, fighted the flood, at halo 3 it was hal of the pleasure but in reach... reach campaign sucked... story line was weak, and it jumped from place to place...

The story line would be alot better if all campaign you would try to get to one final goal, like in all of halo games... and plus, well there was no warthog ending rish... like in halo1.2.3

  • 07.01.2011 4:13 PM PDT

Heh grey, I think that's the most raging post about reach I've seen from you :P.

Halo 2 didn't have a warthogish ending...

In memory of those fallen in the defense of Earth and her colonies.

March 3, 2553

I would type up a intelligent reply, but im on my ipod.

Simply, every previous Halo was a delicious, moist chocolate cake. Bungie added -blam!- into the formula and that chocolate cake has turned into a dry, old, stale cake.

Reach simply isnt Halo.

Plus all those obvious canon flaws.

so what was that -blam!- witch bungie added

I like Call of Duty and Gears of War, AND Halo. Why must everyone else like only one or the other?


Posted by: Dustin 6047
I guess people nowadays look for one thing wrong with something and ignore all the great awesomeness.


One wrong thing? Let's see, here's my list of the awesomeness vs. wrongness in Reach (note, I am only talking about single player, campaign elements here):

Good things:
Customizable Spartan for campaign
Flying around in space

Bad things:
Complete and needless destruction of previously established canon concerning Reach's destruction (and a couple other canon rewrites as well).
Bland and utterly boring teammates (a huge letdown for me after liking my ODST teammates so much)
The new story of Reach's downfall makes the UNSC look like incompetent fools (I've read someone say that Reach's falling in a day from the books makes them look bad, this makes them look way worse. This is the UNSC fortress world, which was said to have a least 100 ships in the area at all times. After the super carrier revealed itself, they couldn't take it out? 100 to 1, and they can't deal with it? Bunch of fools. At least in the book the UNSC actually puts up a fight.)
