Haven't been on in over a month, and I was curious if Reach was saved by the addition of Halo Anniversary. Also, what are the population numbers like? Is Halo Anniversary a buying game? Is Anniversary gameplay any good? Is bloom 85% or zero bloom? Is armor lock still a big problem? Was a 1-50 level system implemented? Any new easter eggs? Was new armor added to update my spartan? Are the new maps good? How is the firefight map?

I would prefer if a handfull of people give me well written/detailed personal opinions to all my question, so I in turn can come up with decision on adding this game to my collection or not. Thank you for your time.

Or you could go play it for yourself.

OT the new maps are great, the campaign is everything I remembered, and the marines on installation 04 are nothing more than cannon fodder.

If pro is the opposite of con, then the opposite of progress is...

Nothing eh?

Guess everyone went over to Mw3, and I'll be doing the same now.

NO.

So many questions... Why not just boot up your copy of Reach? Quicker then waiting around for answers or searching around the forums. But a hint to a few of those questions: No.

*Why not just buy the game. It's cheap and you can relive those old memories in glorious HD.

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.

Reach has not, will not, and cannot be saved at this point. The damage is too extensive.

Reach is 100% perfect, and the single most competitive game since Candyland. Anyone who dares question the godly powers of Bungie is obviously just bad at Halo.

In order: no, bout the same, not if you still have the 10 year old version, YES, 85% (until the MLG update on 12/1), yes and it always will be, no, yes, no, YES, it's aight.

I don't understand oral at all. I will never do that it is so nasty! And doing things in woods sounds scary.

Still with the 1-50 -blam!-? Reach will never have 1-50.

Hello friends xd

I think what he means is if the Reach (the game not the planet) online population was saved, and yes it was, you would rarely see 50000 players online before, now commonly on the day you see easily 80000 players online

Loving Anniversary Classic. Digging Anniversary BTB. Anniversary maps are awesome. Needless to say that they're way better than Reach's. Bloom and AA's are still in Anniversary BTB (which is ridiculous), but seem to be less of a problem. Not sure if bloom was reduced. Occasional BS, still usually from Armor Lock. You better like Headlong because it's everybody else' favorite map, and it's voted in constantly.

In Anniversary Classic, there's no BS. Good maps, no AA's. Very refreshing. Not sure about bloom, though. But in both playlists, I'm finding matches pretty quickly. I'm impressed. Though, a few times the searching has gone on a little too long, so I just back out and restart the search.

Doesn't look like the leveling system has been changed at all and I don't believe there was any new armor added. In campaign, there's hidden skulls and at least one terminal/video on every level. The firefight map is alright but nothing to rave about. The Marines added into the mix don't really help much, as can be expected, but I like them being there. They're comedic.

Overall I'm glad I bought it. Plan on playing it regularly and never touching Reach's matchmaking again except maybe for Living Dead.

yes, but still we got the cod haters that can't leave this forums because they fail at both games (cod, halo)
