It's pretty much over. Reach is currently in critical condition on its death bed, and there won't be enough to save it. Let's be honest, Reach is a very frustrating game due to random mechanics, and like some of you, have experience true anger due to these said, random mechanics.

I played it for a year, had a little bit of fun while it lasted, but it's nothing compared to the exodus of players that occurred shorty after the game's release. Even when 60% of the players quit within the first 2 weeks, we still experienced a slow migration away from the game which currently puts us around 30-50k players which is 15% of what it was on the first week.

What now? Will you waste your money in hopes that Reach revives? If you are a loyal fan, I say go for it, give your money to 343 so they in turn can invest it in making the next Halo game bearable. If your aim is to just play a better game, then please quit, and grab BF3 or MW3 which are much more enjoyable than Halo Reach.

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.

Starcraft nerding it up.

There are 60,000 players on average at a time. I can find games in seconds in the least popular playlist's. It isn't dead.

First,if he spelled it wrong it would be *near.

Second, nigh is simply just another way of saying near.
Anyway, I think you're right, we need halo 4 now, reach is collapsing.

Purple Chiesel?!?! what in the heck-a-doo is that?



MAUI WOWIE!!!!

Random mechanics? Reach is one of the most solid shooters out there.

Explain what other franchise even comes close besides CS 1.6; in terms of balance.

Solid? Solid how? Random bullet spread with bloom? Enemies escaping certain death with the push of a button?

Relatively speaking, that's an embarrassment to what Halo used to be.

In my opinion, BF3 is unbelievably balanced compared to Reach.

so...I guess you havent heard about the inpending title update that will get rid of bloom in certain playlists.

You mean the one that fails to fix Movement speed, movement acceleration, explosion blast radius, shield recharge time, letting the Arena have objectives, removing seasons, bad default maps, good community maps not being implemented where they're needed, and ignores bad maps like Sword base still being in anything besides multi-team and Rumble Pit.

You couldn't have been talking about that update by any chance right?

  • 11.13.2011 7:47 PM PDT

MW3 enjoyable? it's the same fustrating thing like MW2 and BF3 is understandible but MW3? come on i rather be playing skyrim and i never played an eldar scrools game befor.

  • 11.13.2011 8:27 PM PDT

dont like my driving? stay off the sidewalk

you should get skyrim!

"Tolerance of intolerance is cowardice." - Ayaan Hirsi Ali

It depends on how people perceive it.

I have only had minor issues with AA, and I don't see the purpose in complaining about the DMR bloom, which if it were truly broken, would be completely unusable.

[sarcasm] And yes, I will indeed continue to waste my money on a game that is complete garbage.

[/sarcasm]

Outlined it in brackets so as not to put too much strain on that philosophical brain of yours.

Before you gamestalk me, my H3 Exp is boosted because I'm not playing 5000 games again like I did on my main account for my 5 star. I AFKed and Grif boosted wtih supers0ak to get to Inheritor since I'm impatient when it comes to processional ranks. Nothing in Reach shows skill unless you play with the person anyways.

Or play a good Halo game, Halo 3. I'd like to see H3 more populated than Reach. That would show 343i something, and make Bungie swallow their unnecessary praising of Reach.
