Forget it man, and get with the countdown. Shake this square world and blast off for Kicksville.

Reach host ranking algorithm: (a*quit_percentage + b*isMexican + c*(1/KDR) + d*hasGuest) * 100
where a > b = d > c

First three.

The fourth insofar as the Bnet retards who defend the first three exist.

There's a few more, of course.

Isn't it obvious?

"I'll tell you right now, if you ever see someone called ll wa1do ll... leave the game immediately. My friend knows him, I've been in his party a few times, do not mess with this guy. From what I've heard, he's the real deal. I also heard someone made a guy named Wa2do (similar to his name) and then he hacked that guy and boosted off his level." -From Minou on Bungie.net

All of the above.

People wanting Reach to be Halo 3.1, as opposed to it being a game in its own right.

When it boils down to it, it is just the people, man.

Why is Netcode a vote option?

Still better than you.

.....most of you, at least.

This.

The netcoding in Reach is beautiful

Nades, Bloom, and the fact that there are so many Power Weapons on every map are the problems.

I graduated from high school on June-11-2011. I'm 19 right now. I'm turning 20 in December. I like playing video games, and board games. I like reading Sci-Fi, and World War II novels, and what not.

"There is nothing better in the world than being better at a video game than someone else....oh wait"

Every thing about it.
I was wondering. When you people play Reach. Is there anything about the game that makes you go. "That was a good idea?"

Halo is the most awesome game i've ever played. It has a great story, an impressive gameplay and It plays well with others, this is the most important point. A game is usually created to make people have fun. And Halo gave me many and many hours of pure enjoiment.
Thanks Bungie for made a such wonderful game.

reach has terrible maps... i don't really care about bloom, people can learn how to adapt to it.

Maps 110% - A reason why Anniversary was a worthy investment.

I would have to disagree. Halo Reach's maps might not be as good as say, Halo or Halo 2's, but they're still decent. Its the n00bs who ruin the gameplay that would otherwise be very fun. And that's only if you have a n00b in your match.

Bungie should consider investing in precipitation gathering nets for these forums. The sheer amount of tears shed by anyone who's been destroyed by armor lock, jet pack, grenades, and the AR could continuously operate hydroelectric dams, irrigate farms, and provide clean drinking water for third world countries.

Reach being a bad game is subjective, and related to your opinion on it.

And before someone goes 'hurr durr 7th on live activity its bad' that only tells me that people don't play it. Chromehounds didn't get a large community but when the live service for it was removed everyone left shat a collective brick. Now that was a good game.

Ohai, I'm Loscocco (pronounced Loss-cocoa). I'm a college student (computer science major), 3D animator, and long-time Halo player.

I would say bloom and armor abilities. Alright ideas, bad implementations.

This may be true, but it is the general consensus on bungie.net that reach is a bad game. I still play reach and hope that some of its problems may be fixed by 343i.

Sandbox.
Game mechanics.
Maps.

Honestly, the netcode is the greatest (only great thing, actually) thing about it.

Now if could just slap that onto CE PC somehow....

Active roster and forge controls are also great.
