Reach had around 800 to 900 thousand people when it first came out and now it is down to 100 thousand. Yet 343 keeps the formula of the game and only adds new playlist which you have to pay for. Silly silly 343 industries.

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

When you take a look at what a disaster they were handed, I really can't blame them for anything they've done.

This. Frankly, they did a pretty good job with what they had.

Still doesn't change the fact they waved a game wide Title Update in front of us, while in the end, it can only be played on the Beta playlist, or, IF you bought the maps/game, the Anniversary playlist.

Because half the people LIKE Reach the way it is. This post is begging for a troll and flame war about how Reach sucks or is good but we dont need another one of those. Personally I like original Reach better.


most people who LIKE reach the way it is are bad, their opinion is invalid GTFO noob

My problems [with Reach] are basically just full parties, mlg, and people who go out of their way not to get killed.

343 has done an awesome job thus far.

Agreed. CEA is a nice throwback to us fans, custom challenges sounds like a cool idea, they may recreate ranked playlists, and if they fix this game I may actually play more often.
I think we are in capable hands :)

Im not bad. Saying someone is a noob for having an opinion different then yours is just moronic. But your most likly an American so being brain dead is in your genetic code.


An opinion can easily coincide with "nooby" behavior. To believe otherwise is simple denial.

The hell storm that people would have with a total TU wouldn't be worth the effort.

So they made it 'pay to play' instead. Genius, 343.

I was a finalist :P

343 are yet to have done anything spectacular. Halo 4 will be their first - originally made - project, hence that will be the time to deduce if they have made a positive impact on the Halo franchise. I shall reserve judgement until this time comes.

I love anniversary classic. I've been forging for so long that I haven't played it in 10 days. So much fun.

Most intelligent players knew from the beginning that 343 wasn't going to TU the entire game. Default Reach is functioning as intended. At this point, you either like Reach or you don't, and if it's the latter there are 3 ways to play it differently.

I'd say that's a smart way to please the players. The only problem now is that there aren't enough of them. Too little too late.

I love anniversary classic too but the population is going down. I already find myself playing the same people.

Sad.

This. If the TU happened six months ago, it might have been a game-saver. Still fun to play though.

Remember, the TU ain't done yet. We've still got the December update to wait for and the playlist is called the Title Update Beta.

343 has done a lot. Unfortunately, it was all done a little too late.

Now see, I know most of you B.net guys don't go on Waypoint for some reason or another, but you really should scroll through their forums and read a thing or two before saying stuff like this.

According to DavidJCobb, the beta playlist was supposed to be gone Nov. 14th, with the release of CEA, as it "Served it's purpose." The TU, was done back on Sept 21st. We already HAVE it. It was needed for the beta playlist to even be up. We were told by 343 if the beta goes well, and people like it, it's will be game wide within a month. In the same thread, we find out that the TU changes -will not- be applied to vanilla Reach.

So the only way to play the TU, which many people claimed would allow 343 to save the game, is to drop 40 bucks on CEA or 1200 MSP on the maps.
