Reasons why Reach drives me nuts:
1. Player and his allies suck:
-melee. It's underpowered. It's slow. You have to have AI on reticle for collision to work. Meleeing friendly AI is much more difficult now. And of course, friendly AI don't do melee damage.
The melee isn't underpowered. I was messing around with a few ultras yesterday and I was able to kill one with around 5 punches. In Halo 2 or even our very own Combat Evolved, it would take much more.
-weapons. Other than needle rifle and plasma rifle, the rest aren't fun to use, especially the DMR and magnum. And the concussion rifle when used by the player is pitifully weak against Covies. And of course, Bloom.
Agreed. I stopped using the DMR all together. Even when I absolutely need it, I will not because it isn't fun to use. Also the needler, plasma pistol, repeater and focus rifle are fun weapons to me. Some are more tailored to precise situations, but they are fun nevertheless.
-shields. The player's shields get eaten up fast on Legendary. This wasn't the case in CE, where you could kill the enemies without losing a single bar of health even with your shields down.
Agreed.
-allies. They are not fun to fight with. Allies contribute to the fun factor a lot. If they're not fun, it's only going to be 1/2 the fun.
It's too easy to betray them yet it feels so good.
And of course, Noble Team sucks badly. And they are poor distractions because the Covies lose their interest fast when I get closer. And they 1sk.
Agreed. Though Noble team isn't that bad. I got Jorge to the top of the spire on TotS and he killed everything on heroic in a minute.
2. enemies are too op:
-damage sponges
-weapon damage
-shield stun time is absurd
-weapon cooldown time isn't very long
-plasma pistol overcharge, concussion rifle projectile speed
-infinite ammo power weapons, plasma pistol
-omniscient. At other times, oblivious
-unrefined behavior. Hunters do that weird dance which probably has something to do with their crouching. Jackals do not panic at all. Grunt panicking is rarely advantageous.
Agreed.
3. vehicles are underpowered:
-Wraith has only 2 good traits: powerful mortar and able to splatter without boosting. Other than that, it's just a sitting duck to Concussion Rifle shots and plasma pistol overcharges
-From what I've seen, the Revenant's mortars are weak
-From what I hear, the rocket hog isn't that great
-no other vehicles appear on LNoS
Disagree. The wraith sucks, yes. But the Gauss warthogs, falcons, banshees and scorpions are all juggernauts. Rockethogs are good for vehicles and infantry. However Legendary and up they suck something terrible.
CE is fairer, more consistent, and more realistic.
Agreed.
