Subject: Why did YOU stop playing reach.

Ohai, I'm Loscocco (pronounced Loss-cocoa). I'm a college student (computer science major), 3D animator, and long-time Halo player.

I stopped?

Goodbye Halo2, you will be missed, you will not be forgotten.

The Latest, Greatest Stalker Armor!

Because there are much better games on the PC.
Don't get me wrong, if Reach were on the PC I'd play it a lot more..

I quit Reach after I could not find one flaw in the game. So I quit.

Hopefully the sarcasm shows.

Uhm... not: I am still playing Halo Reach :P

I haven't quit entirely, but I'm usually on Campaign most of the time, but if I did quit, here are my reasons.

1. Bloom (What was Bungie thinking when they did this?)
2. AL (-blam!- annoying when an enemy goes into AL for no reason at all.)
3. AL again! (This time, some -blam!- goes into AL when his shields are down. Two factors can play into this, his teammates will come to aid his sorry ass and take you down or you will have to wait an outrageous 6 seconds before he comes out, enough time for his shields to recharge.)
4. -blam!- spawn system (Some guy spawns behind me, I get assassinated, guy takes my power weapons. Thanks Bungie for the great spawns, it -blam!- helps.)
5. Forge World (It's great that Bungie expanded Forge, but what's up with the greyness?)
6. -blam!- community maps (Renova, Eden Minor, Precipice, etc. Seriously, the only ones that's even worthwhile to play is Kingdom, Synapse, Trident and some others, even then the greyness makes it dull.)
7. New games coming out/came out (Just to name a few: Skyrim, BF3, Gears 3, FIFA 12, MW3, Assassin's Creed Revelations, etc.)
8. Garbage teammates (Ones who can hardly get any higher than 2 kills.)
9. Screaming 11 year olds (Can't enjoy anything with these monstrosities running amok with their Banshee screaming.)
10. Bungie playlist (Wasn't like the one in Halo 3, Bungie probably didn't give a -blam!- about it.)

There are a few more to address, but I'm sure most of you will know this by now. As much as I love Reach, these problems are a -blam!- stain to the Halo franchise. I'm guessing that Bungie found it funny to backstab their beloved community with this abomination, knowing full well that we will end up buying this game because of the word "Halo"

1. None of my friends play it.
2.The campaign might as well be removed from the game
3. Multiplayer has no enticement
4.Slow paced matchmaking
5.No teamwork on any front

This is why I'll be returning Reach and getting BF3/MW3

"What's a team shoot and what's a wraith?!"
"It means we all shoot at the big blue thing together!"
"Okay!"
*starts betraying blue teammate*

It sucks ass?

Pretty much my friend who used to hit me up with an assload of fun customs stopped playing so there was no point in playing it anymore.

I feel bad for anybody that still plays this game.


I feel bad for the folks still hanging around a forum for a game they no longer appreciate.

You couldn't find any flaws?
Look at my post, I just listed five.
You're welcome.

Yes, Reach was an abomination for the Halo franchise. ODST was better because Bungie wanted and really were committed to that project, while Reach was just rushed... and were not committed to it.

Players like me do not require others to inspire confidence.
I am an artist of death, my masterpieces created in the blood of my enemies.
I am revered by my allies as a god, and rightly feared by my enemies.
I am the rolling thunder that escorts death to your door.
Reyaweks is my name,
Halo is my game,
Onyx is my claim to fame.

I havent, its a great game.

  • 11.13.2011 8:45 PM PDT

dont like my driving? stay off the sidewalk

there was a number of reasons:

first, iv always hated the halo community. its either ultra try-hards or screaming little kids. they take a good game and totally ruin it.

second, the match ups. how the hell do i get a seargent on my team when were up against reclaimers and novas?? i wouldent be so mad if it happened once or twice or twenty times but it HAPPENS EVERY GAME.

and lastly, i found better games. gears 3, MW3 and skyrim dont cause me nearly as much frustration as halo:reach.

  • 11.13.2011 9:27 PM PDT

Don't worry, you're still your mom's favorite Bnet member.

I've just stopped playing video games overall. I was bored with Reach but it's nothing personal toward the game really.

Heretic? Me? Never! You must be thinking of Elite-blam!-FTW.

I really hate people who go on hating at Reach. There's no such thing as a perfect game. This may look like I'm trying to cause a fight, but I'm giving legitimate why I didn't enjoy Halo 3 MP...

Clunky gameplay, it was very slow when it came to heated firefights.

Robotic feel, as in very linear gameplay.

Weapons felt weak, with little variety.

You couldn't tell you were getting shot, all you heard is a slight buzz and maybe a bit of red shown around the sides.

Bland maps, all play like a mixture of Karachi and Rundown from MW2. And before people start calling me a CoD fanboy or saying I don't know jack about Halo, the first Halo I played was CE, and I played the heck out Halo 2.

Basically CE redone for the third time. Not that I'm bagging at CE, but seriously, this isn't CoD we're talking about.

And now why I enjoy Reach MP...

AAs (No I am not an AL noob, theres a difference between ALing over an incoming Ghost, and ALing over an AR)

Bloom, gives gives a more organic feel to the game. Spartans aren't droids you know.

Useful vehicles. The brute chopper was just dreadful.

Weapons actually look and sound like they can cause some damage, instead of handling like Airsoft guns.

Fun gametypes, E.G. Invasion & Dino Blasters.

Epic Forge & Forge world.

You can actually notice you're getting shot.

And now for the flaming. *hides inside nuclear bunker*
