Be interested to listen to this while you read this post.

I actually find Reach to be a bearable game now.

Ever since I coughed up 1200 MS points for the classic maps, I've been [u]very/u] impressed. [Prisoner is by far my favorite; It's visually beautiful with a combat intermission on every floor. Sure, It's confusing at first, but it stays as my favorite of the Classic maps.]

The 3sk pistol is wonderful. It eliminates any scrub using the AR to have the slightest chance of getting a kill. Camo and OS are by far more enjoyable than lolAAs.

MLG has really cleaned up It's act aswell; no AAs, faster movement speed, and ZB are awesome. It's twice as competitive as it ever was before Decemeber 1st.

And who knows? If 343 cleans up whats left of Reach, maybe, just maybe, Reach can get the populatiob back it once had.

[Theres 67k players online as we speak]

Discuss.

Oh wow 67k! That's a lot for a 1year old game! /sarcasm


Halo 3 had 200k-300k people on daily.

Little by Little.

[That's the song :3]

I find myself torn at this point by agreeing with you and disagreeing with you.

Compared to the past Halo games Reach is definietly the pants-on-head retarded child of the family.

But, as a stand-alone game, it's doing quite well. 60,000+ people is still better than 10,000+ people.

Inheritor # 1,117 Overall via HaloCharts
Inheritor # 275 in United States

And now that everyone is on winter break Reach is back around 100k in the evenings.

It's better than it was but it's too little too late. They made Reach tolerable in a few playlists and gave me a slight glimmer of hope for Halo 4.

Most shooters (save the big 3, Halo, CoD, and BF) struggle to hit 15-20K after a month. So yeah, you could say 67K for a year old game is quite an improvement.

I've been noticing an increase in population lately.

Something that 343 is doing is working.

I hope you're right, because I like the new maps as well.

But I think TU-tweaks are like preaching for the choir, if you want the casuals back in, you need a big feebie; like giving away the map-packs.

Nothing less.

Or that rise of 10-15% lately is people like me? Old Halo-fans who played Blops and Mw3 for a year and got majorly bored.

That won't change the big picture, which is needed.
