The maps are bad (downright atrocious in some cases).

The real problem though is that Halo isn't the top game anymore and CoD has been more popular since MW2

The majority of Halo Reach maps are remakes of old maps. Only maps that don't come off as remakes seems to be Boardwalk, spire and boneyard. Spire and Boneyard being cycled so many times constantly in invasion, the only two original maps to come out as invasion maps (not including forge maps).
Not to mention that some teams have the upper hand from the get go depending on the map (ie. red on sword base and the cage, or blue on Pinnacle).
AL slows down the fast pace of the game and frustrates people who don't use it. It's like the second chance thing from CoD in a sense.
Reducing bloom speeds up overall gameplay instead of having to time your shots.

Have you ever seen the blast radius of an actual plasma grenade?

everything....this is one of the worst 360 games out there....even medal of honor is better than it and more fun.

The rise and popularity of the military FPS is what has turned people off Reach.

Thats fine. But even though YOU play to win, doesn't mean your enemy team is playing to win though. They don't need to - which makes the game less competitive.

Coagulation would have been a much better option for a blood gulch remake.
Technically, the terrain of Hemorrhage is lifted from Coag.


Eh, it's still greatly different from Coagulation in Halo 2.

One of the main reasons is the placement of the sun.

I don't know, I still really wish they would put Halo 2 back on XBL. Still play H2 with my friends on XBC :)

Reach just lacks "fun."

Halo 2 it was all about Glitches:
- Super Bouncing (I perfected the Triple Bounce on Acension)

- Tank Launching on Coagulation, Hog Launching, Launching yourself across the map on and upside down Tank.

- Getting outside of maps, especially Gemini. Now THAT was fun, we did this on hours on end!

In CE you could do crazy stuff as well.

Reach just doesn't have this stuff. Which is why some people, like myself, just get no enjoyment out of this game. Not too mention the spawning in Reach is absolutely HORRID.

The map packs should be free just because the new maps where pretty good and this would allow you to see them more in MM

Tone down the grenades

Make the vehicles fun to use again

Here's your sign

Because by now most halo fans have been playing Halo 6+ years.

Average length of a marriage is about 8-11 years.

Things get old, people move on.

Happiness is a warm gun

I can tell you with complete confidence what it is, lack of options on the battlefield.

Reach maps are completely undynamic, and the only thing worth pushing for is power weapons.

look at it this way, in H3 we had equipment which carried with it a myriad of possibilities in combat, whether it's throwing the perfect power drain or using nades inside bubble sheilds, there was just so much to make the battles dynamic. Also, Power ups, nothing beats grabbing OS at the last second before death and getting the 3 seconds of invincibility, or being a sneaky beaver with Camo, hell, even the laughs of grabbing them both. Then there was dual wielding, a beast of a primary weapon (BR), and much more maneuvrability (Strafing, jumping, trick jumping, nade jumping).

H2 had it in spades with the best maps, trick jumps, button glitches which made it difficult to master.

Even CE had it's own tricks to master, like nading powerups and weapons, trick jumping and a beast primary weapon.

Reach is like halo, neuterd, trick jumping basically doesn't exist, you can't nade jump, there are no power ups on the maps to push for, no equipment, no dual wielding. It just feels empty, you pick your AA and then what? Push for rockets or sniper. It just feels shallow

Goat was famous. Irie was infamous. Gh0st was FaMaS.

My stats in Halol 4

Typical Waypoint post.
no it's "its got to go" you wouldn't say the "it is got to go" would you?

Or maybe because the entire game is a cluster-blam!-.

I encourage fair gameplay, but I warn you, if you are facing me, watch your six.

To be honest, the fact that it is a bit like black ops, where rank doesn't necessarily mean anything and you have to buy everything. Point made is: Black Ops sucks. The updates 343 made (no offense to them) kind of ruined the game.

Nope. SouthPole isn't a person. He's the avatar of the force of tryhards everywhere. He stalks the web looking for retards to set straight. He can not be stopped by mere bans or thread locks for he shall rise anew.

Personally, I thought that they should have ported over the Halo 3 maps to Reach, like the Cold Storage map.

  • 11.02.2011 8:35 AM PDT

fear me, for i am pro sauce

its not one big thing for me, it many little things.

-i think the maps are fine, sure there are some poor maps (countdown) but there are also some good maps (uncaged), most community forged maps are better than most maps that came with the game.

-grenades are quite annoying, the blast radius is a bit too big and frags sticking to the floor instead of bouncing really gets on my nerves, mainly because it involves them blowing me up

-bloom, it's just wrong, i think it should be zero bloom for slayer games and 85% bloom for objective based games

-AA's: i hate AL and active camo, who gives invincibility and invisibility off spawn? i also hate people sprinting around with swords/hammers/shotguns

Sorry if my stats don't impress. I don't mind. I only forge.

  • 11.09.2011 8:28 AM PDT

Agreed. Its also think its because there is no interactive maps, for example the gate from high ground etc.

Why is hypocrite spelled with an E at the end?
The I in crite is not pronounce as eye.

So, on the one hand I spell it out exactly as it should be.
You follow the standard set before you by fools who can't even get a handle on the rules of their own language.

Not to mention Bungie did nothing after the game was released to fix any of the problems with this game instead they gave it to 343 after it was on it's death bed to fix
I'm for one excited to see what 343 does with it

  • 11.09.2011 8:38 AM PDT

Two makes there more than speakers.

I just doesn't feel Halo to me.

The lack of freedom and glitches in campaign, and the message that pops up on my screen that makes me want to punch Bungie in its metaphorical face

Return to battlefield...

In addition to the multiplayer things alreadly listed by other people, bloom especially sucks.
