Wayont is possibly the only good map in BTB.

Crap maps like wayont, abriged etc.

What!?

  • 11.29.2011 10:43 AM PDT

1. Terrible maps
2. Improperly balanced vehicular warfare

A combination of really bad maps and no party restrictions.

Shoryuken!

Mythic Mode Progress on Reach:
Winter Contingency, perfection.
Other levels in progress.

Lack of maps based around vehicular battles. Sure, we have community maps and all, but some of them don't really need the vehicles, like Trident. A warthog driving through a cluster **** of rocks and other things of pure shenanigans? No, I want more maps like Highlands that balance out the vehicle usage, though I don't want to see repeats of the weapon issues it had/has.

1. Lack of party restrictions.

2. DMR with Bloom makes fights too luck-dependant.

3. Ghost is UP, terrible Warthog physics.

4. Mongoose being an useless vehicle outside of CTF and Bomb gametypes.

5. Terrible randoms, teamkillers, and quiters.

6. And a bad map design that allows snipers to camp spots that dominates the entire battlefield(AKA Paradiso, Hemorrhage, and maybe Abridged).

When we joined The Covenant we took a oath; according to our station all without exception. On the blood of our fathers on the blood of our sons we swore to uphold that oath even to our dying breath.

Reach.


Halo 2 and Halo 3 Big team > Reach will ever be. Hopefully halo 4 will take a few steps back and be a Halo game again.

Take a step back with me and enjoy a taste of the bittersweet that is our current generation.

I enjoy Battlefield and Call of Duty, and Gears of War.

20 years old, manager of my family's business, aspiring officer of the law.

I love anything political.

The only honest answer I can give is Reach in general. Everything about it is just counter-intuitive when it comes down to the core of BTB gameplay.

Obey! They are just too good for everyone else. It isn't even fair when a team dominates like they do.

Lack of decent maps and variety, quitters and camo campers.

Maps: Most of the maps in BTB are plain horrible. I'm talking about maps like Abridged, Wayont and several other Forge World created shiznits. The maps also lack variety, and I can't say to be surprised playing the same map over and over again.

Quitters: The quitting system is absolute garbage. Bad kids quit out of the game at the first sight of full teams due to there not being real penalty, aside from that 15 min ban. It is also irritating playing a game against half a team because some people never quit no matter what. A real solution to the problem; progressive quit ban, so that the first quitters will be penalized harsh, while the late quitters will face lighter consequences, if any at all. Of course, 343 could also pit full team against each other, though that would raise the search times.

Camo campers: For some reason people tend to think that sitting at the back of Hemorrhage with a sniper and camo makes you good. Well, it doesn't. Any Reachtard with half a brain can abuse the said matter.

TL;DR

quitters

  • 11.29.2011 11:53 AM PDT

I play alone all the time, And generally only find three problems problems. Warthog too weak, Idiotic teammates who rage 'bout everything and vehicle/weapon whoring teammates who will betray you for even a Pistol. Fact is, The only people who send me friend requests are those who I say "Good game." to and even then it's luck generally. After that they never invite me. Not like I care. Playing in full parties bores me because it's usually the same freaking tactic all the time and enemies quitting.

Boltshot = mini shotgun

Half my teams quitting when I'm (always) a random.
Sniper rushers/betrayers for the sniper. And people who only ever use the sniper.
Banshee, wraith, and warthog turret stat-wh0res.
Terrible, terrible maps.
I believe I hit nearly all of the above, except camo. I never really have problems with people who use Active Camo.
Fortunately, Anniversary BTB fixes a lot of these problems.

That remembers me the time when some kid betrayed me for the DMR in Hemorrhage, I lol´d at that..... and then I booted him. :)

I share this account with my brother and friend.
If you got destroyed, it was me.
If you had a decent challenge, it was my bro.
If you observed said account struggling to aim, shoot, or move separately, it was my friend.

I wouldn't say it's ruined cause I still enjoy it enough to play most days.
But things that blow are worse maps, featherweight vehicles, weak vehicles, OP DMR...
I don't even care about Banshees. They are simple to kill with finite HP. I just hate having to control them.

  • 11.29.2011 12:13 PM PDT

Your presence here is quite unneeded. Begone you!!!

Lack of maps (non-DLC). Quitters be a close second

you killed poonflip!

the flippiest poon i ever knew!

reach's vehicle combat simply isn't as good as halo 3's. warthog and ghost are underpowered whilst tanks and banshee are overpowered

  • 11.29.2011 3:35 PM PDT

Halo 2 and 3 BTB was much better even with the lag.

What house has a rocket pod, has legs, and has a long narrow barrel that probably shoots something powerful?

Sounds like you're describing the lower half of my body, actually.

The banshee and camo campers killed it for me.

  • 11.29.2011 4:18 PM PDT

I would vote 'other' if it were an option. Bloom didn't work as it was designed to. There aren't enough good maps (though there are some great ones I'll give it that!). Not enough Scorpions and Banshees. Quitters. Too much Slayer not enough Objective.

... I've decided in the last week or so that I just really don't like Reach's art style as much. The graphics are amazing but I think I preferred the more colorful art style too. I can't help but feel that took some BTB joy from me as well.

Reach's art style is balls.

Oh, there ain't no rest for the wicked.
Money don't grow on trees.
I got bills to pay, I got mouths to feed, There ain't nothing in this world for free.
I know I can't slow down, I can't hold back, though you know, I wish I could.
No there ain't no rest for the wicked,
Until we close our eyes for good.

BTB is ghey.
