I like it. You have no idea how happy I was when I stickied an Armor Locker and not only did he not shed the sticky but he died WHILE in lockdown!!! I hope they keep this, the removal of sword block and bleedthrough in ALL gametypes. sadly they won't, (I didn't bother with bloom because I know that won't happen).

It's not bad I guess. My biggest complaint would be people quiting. It seems like half the games I played someone quit. inb4playwithaparty

PSR = (((K+A)/D)*Win%)*120
The average player's PSR = 100

Lolno.

The problem is Reach wasnt built for ZB, period. If you want ZB you need to reduce fire rates and redo the damage tables, not to mention make the reticles bigger so they arent mini snipers.

I enjoy ZB. Finally having fun playing a halo game again. This feels like a huge step backwards... to when halo was fun and aiming mattered :)


Yes because we all know that trying new things is for idiots, let's stay in our nice safe box and never do anything new.
Uhh, changes are always good, but when something is (this) drastically changed... things tend to become a bit shaky.

i played last night

here are my questions / thoughts (sorry if this has been covered)

bloom: on the screen the reticule still "blooms" and when i fired off a bunch of rounds from the Magnum, there was a 'spread' on the wall... it's not as if each round went atop the other. so bloom has just been toned down a bit??

damage: i mostly used the pistol and it seems that i can kill in 4 shots now (3 to drop shields and 1 to the head) is this right??? cause i swear someone yesterday pwned me with just 3 shots and i was pretty sure i was at full health / shields.

either way, i like that the Magnum is more powerful. stopped a few Sprinters looking to melee in their tracks - felt boss.

no sword block: this saddens me a bit. i always thought that killing someone wielding the sword by blocking them and head shotting them was worthy of a freaking medal, not something to be removed.

i understand the argument that it is a power weapon that shouldn't be able to be blocked.. i just disagree with that is all. the combo of Sprint & Sword was just kinda over the top IMO and Sword block balanced this.

didn't have any run ins with Armor Lock users, but i sure look forward to lobbing some stickies in their direction.

overall: me likes the TU - keep up the good work 343!!

Changes are ALWAYS good?...so if we were to make it so all the guns in Halo shot marshmallows then that would be good because it's a change?

I like it because I am better than everyone playing. You all suck.

  • 10.05.2011 11:48 AM PDT

It's one playlist for frigs sake. It's not the entire game. I think its great to try and attract people from the people who still love halo 3 and it gives a nice change of pace to the game. Much faster game play.

If it is permanent though I would make all game in the play list ZB... to just play one game in a which the people who like it will not play and the people who don't like it won't either because they don't want to play that game type

Agreed. All the changes are good and add variety. Do we really want another Halo 3? Just running around with one gun and no armor abilities? It's good that 343 wants to try something new. Do we really want the same thing for three more games?

I'm getting frustrated a lot less, and there's more DMR starts.


I'd say it's not bad, but I would have liked to see more issues get fixed.

In my opinion the TU is great but zero bloom sucks.


Lets discuss


Dear god this statement hurts my brain from stupidity...

Im off to play some Halofied Reach, catch the trolls at Bnet!

  • 10.05.2011 2:26 PM PDT

No bloom requires skill?? Lololololololololol That's the biggest load of crap ever. My 9 year old daughter would pwn that playlist all day but I won't pay for her Gold account yet. ;(

2 kills with each pistol clip is total BS. The TU has turned the better of your default slayer weapons into the ultimate power weapon spawn.

I hope the fact that the Beta playlist is only averaging about 10% of the online population tells you all something very important. Those of you who supported the changes made in the TU Beta represent a very small portion of the Halo community. You need to accept that and stop whining like a bunch of girls.

  • 10.05.2011 3:04 PM PDT

i disagree. i like the zero bloom compared to the original. the original is terrible. i think it should convert to zero bloom fully but thats just my opinion.

  • 10.05.2011 10:48 PM PDT

it needs alot of work in my opinion. everything is rushed and you die more and you get more assists if your not fast enough. the assault rifle feels like it got weakened severely. what should be done is leave the dmr the same as it was originally keep the pistol and if you really want to make people happy bring back classic zombies because the reach version of zombies just sucks and fix the customization for zombies gametypes because its flawed on so many levels and incorporate it into anniversery. armor abilities are fine its just the weapons that are the issue

  • 10.06.2011 10:43 AM PDT

Halo 3 had millions of players online in its day. Reach has less than 100k a lot of the time. There are so few fanboys of this game that it would make sense to bring back the rest of the community who like a good balanced game that reach wasn't until they changed it in the tu.
