Subject: What would you have preferred reach to be like?

Halo, lets see here it was the first fps i ever played and soon it became my favorite game. Starting at CE, as time went on, I played Halo 2, 3, ODST, even Wars (though it wasn't an FPS) and now Reach.

Now I've always loved all the games and the multiplayer. Never having a serious problem with the games besides say the times when you would get spawn killed or sniped constantly or your team was just terrible. But nonetheless there never seemed to be any serious problems (in my opinion) even up to now in reach.

Armor abilities though sometimes feel a little bad but I still enjoy them, even though i get killed from trying to splatter a guy because of armor lock or someone evades precious rockets or the guy sprints away when his shields are down and readies a grenade around the corner. I feel that reach though has some problems that myself can easily overcome is a fantastic change of pace in the halo franchise.

Even though this would of been something that should of been said a long time ago but anyways now to the question. What would you guys prefer the multiplayer to have been like? Would you like it to be like halo 3 or halo 2 or CE? With almost all of the same weapons and no armor abilities or something else. So just post below what you would of wanted it to be like

TL;DR- What would you like reach's multiplayer to be like to be "perfect"

I would prefer if it wasnt so noob friendly, to many people use armor lock and the jet pack. I miss dual wields alot and i get sick of people who run around grabbing all the special weapons possible (e.g. shotgun sword).

More like Quake, less like Call of Duty.

Increased movement speeds, no bloom, less spread on all weapons (sans the Assault Rifle), sprint as the only AA off spawn, Plasma Stun, Bleed-through on vehicles, small-arms do not damage vehicles, decent Warthog physics, better maps, etc.

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.

Halo would be nice.

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?

How about a ranking system? I can literally score 20-30 kills in 2/3 Team Slayer games that I play.

3 years and only 1 ban, try harder next time noobs.

lol no.

Halo CE.5 would beat the crap out of that.

  • 11.03.2011 8:50 PM PDT

Where to start. uhh

1. Canon
2. No armor abilities
3. no bloom
4. not so much motion blur
5. not so linear campaign
6. ability to explore campaign and not shove soft ceilings/walls EVERYWHERE
7. a campaign where main characters die in DECENT ways... because let's be honest.. everyone's death sucked except maybe 6's.

Name's John. I'm a 21-year-old firefighter/EMT from lolhio who doubles as a die-hard Halo fan. I've been enjoying the franchise since 2001. My favorite iteration of Halo would have to be Halo 2 simply because I never got to experience the joy of a full-on Halo: CE LAN.


If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Oh yeah, and boot Zome.

Um yeah, I'd like Halo. Halo is good.

  • 11.03.2011 8:59 PM PDT

hmmm where to start..

1. 1-50 rank system for multiple reasons (dont even get me started)
2. no armour abilities
3. standard bullet spread like previous halos (there has always been some sort of bloom in Halo, the idea of bloom was implemented terribly in reach). in other words, no expanding reticule, hence, better aim = victory
4. better campaign? something felt off about reach's campaign, it had loads of potential but just felt like something was missing, cant really put my finger on it..
5. beam rifle instead of focus rifle
6. balanced maps (not a fan of asymmetrical spawning)
7. reduced grenade blast radius
8. vehicles that aren't made out of tin foil

these are my opinions, we can agree to disagree if you'd like

I really don't think CE's mp balance would be acceptable by today's standards.

Ah yes, the best MP balance out of all the Halo games wouldn't be acceptable.

Why wouldn't it? Because you think the pistol is overpowered? Look at every other weapon in that game, and tell me that it's still overpowered.

That logic can work if you look at the Needler and no other weapon. AR, Plasma Pistol and Plasma Rifle rip stuff apart at close range and short medium range. If you caught an enemy turned away with one of those then you could probably kill them unless they had a rocket launcher.

The Pistol is only effective because it was great for short medium, medium and long medium range. The Sniper still outclassed it in long range. The Shotty, AR, Pr, and P pistol outclassed it in close range. It's just that those ranges weren't encountered as often.

I also lol at Halo 3.5 because most of the carbon copy weapon (Spiker=plasma rifle=SMG) are completely useless for getting kills because the BR, Sniper and Shotgun, Sword, and Hammer are the most useful weapons in the game because the other crap is useless.

Like ODST. Not quite like traditional Halo, but high on the coolness factor.
