I'm the cult of personality,

and don't worry, while i don't agree with everyone's opinion, i do respect everyone's opinion.

Simple question, Do you think the title update is going to help Reach?

i don't think it will, here is why

We are practically in the middle of a huge *Gaming Flood,*
which is basically alot of great/highly anticipated games being released in a very short/brief time period, BF3, Arkham City, GoW3, Rage, etc, etc, have already been released, and even more then that, not to mention we got MW3 and Skyrim coming next week, along with ACR, HCEA, and NFS The Run all coming out the week after that, and even more after that.

so yeah, at this point, i don't think there is anything that the TU could do to help/save reach, not in this kind of a situation, even after the *flood* is over people will be playing all the great games, plus not to mention the population has already taken a hit courtesy of Gears of War 3,

i almost guarantee you that by the time this *Gaming Flood* is over with, reaches population will be incredibly low, of course true loyal Halo fans will still play reach, though i just think that in this kind of a situation, that there is no doubt that the current reach population is gonna take a rather huge hit.


so what do you think?

Yes, i believe it will make it bearable game where people could actually enjoy it. What people have got to understand this late is that it will never top Halo 3 but it atleast has potential not to suck so bad, people want to burn it.

Well hopefully the Title Update will go some way to ensure the population won't take as much of a hit as it would've, but the large number of new, excellent games being released in time for Christmas will certainly take its toll.

The only thing that might help Reach's multiplayer a bit is the fact that Halo CE: Anniversary uses Reach's matchmaking services, so I think that the population will be bolstered a bit by people buying Halo CE:A.

Most of what I say is sarcasm, the rest is of the highest intellect.

Yes, I think it will help Reach for the people who play it. We will get dedicated players, a better system due to the update, and honestly we'll be matched will people who will actually want to play the game, instead of it being the best of a bad situation.

TL;DR The Reach community will benefit, but the numbers of players wont.

This also makes sense. The term 'help Reach' doesn't just mean population, but the quality for those who are still playing. I agree with the above post in this aspect.

just looking to have fun, message me if you want to play

i have already played with a few people in the beta playlist that came back only because of the beta playlist (title update) and enjoy the game again (though pretty much all of them have preferred zero bloom, which i prefer myself too)

so yes i think it will help. Will it make a huge difference? probably not too noticeable of a difference

So you sat in a lobby to get to the max rank in a game you dont like? That is really disappointing. Why would you go to the trouble to get to inheritor?

It took you that long to realize you didn't like a game?

As good as the title update is, it isn't enough to save Reach. Give 343 credit, they did a damn good job so far given all the other things they're working on. Not only should Bungie have just gotten this right in the first place or fixed what they could have, 343 Industries should not be accountable for fixing this game, it isn't their screw up.

No. I just tolerated it until now.
