So here we are just talking about "Reach"? Not Halo: Reach? Because I thought we were going to say what we thought was bad with Halo: Reach, but now I see, We are talking about "Reach"( excluding the campaign). No one has mentioned how bad the campaign is yet (except for me earlier). Do you think the campaign is good or what? I think that the campaign is the biggest disappointment with Halo: Reach. But if were are just talking about "Reach", then ok.


Honestly, I thought the campaign was "okay".

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.

Active roster isn't a new innovation (and they didn't really improve it, cause the old one showed everyone) and Forge controls don't help the fact that half of the things you can do in it are irrelevant due to the Xbox being unable to handle it.

So I can't say active roster is nice because it isn't a new thing? The netcode sucks. Every game has to handle connecting players together smoothly.

Also I said the forge controls are good. The controls. Not the limitations set by the budget system and appearance limitations set for the graphics engine.

*Firefight netcode sucks. Quite honestly, I've lagged a lesser amount of times in Reach than I did in Halo 3, and I had a better connection rating back in the Halo 3 days.

Sure, active roster is nice, and I'm glad they implemented it. However, it's nothing new and it doesn't warrant my attention of Reach over CE. I'll give you the point on the forge controls, considering the "messing around" potential that's within them along with the precision controls for advanced map making (and I wouldn't take Halo 3 forge over it).

Now you can stop refreshing my stats everyday.


I never did in the first place.


Seriously though, are you mad that I got Inheritor?




Ugh no, I have it legit? Why would I be mad that you boosted for it?


I'm all for hating on boosters, but this is different. I was almost a Reclaimer on my other account in September. Then I got banned for the License transfers that Neutralism and I did. If I didn't get banned then I would be an Inheritor by now.

Alright, I don't want to talk about this rank crap anymore with you. Have a nice day.

Boltshot = mini shotgun

I'm fine with everything but the retarded grenades, people who play(dicks and badkids), and the stupid banshee bomb blast radius. I mean seriously, I'll be on the top floor of Headlong's building with the floor hole, right next to it, in the hallway, and a bomb that hits the outside wall will kill me.

With a simple connection, almost, if not all serious Halo players are now considered dumb.

In my opinion, that is not a good excuse to boost. You have a better chance of knowing the game better on a 2nd account.

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

I never did congratulate you on Inheritor. Congratulations.

People set there expectations too high when it comes to Reach. I just wanted a new multi-player and I have enjoyed myself. Sure some of the maps are boring to play on but that is more of a minor point. The infamous "nuke nade" is a slight problem. Like problems you have to work with it. Bloom actually makes people pace there shots instead of mindlessly spraying their target. Which is where the "weak AR" comes into play. It's just bloom. If you burst fire the AR it can be a powerful weapon. I have occasionally killed players by burst firing the AR when they themselves have a DMR. Reach is a new multi-player experience. With that said you to be able to adapt. The problems everyone points out are not "Huge." It's just a matter of perspective.

dont like my driving? stay off the sidewalk

wheres the "all of the above" button?

bloom: good idea, poorly implemented

nades: overpowered, too large of a blast radious

maps: asymmetrical and unbalanced

people: either mentally challenged or super try-hards

netcode: if the host quits i can expect to be black screened for about 10 minutes.

Reach isnt a bad game. Sure there are some problems. But why does everyone on this forum point out the faults. I think reach is a good game. It is far better than many others. I dont understand why the community always puts down the latest game. Then next year they say it was the greatest. I think everyone on this forum are idiots. If you dont like reach because of a goddam overpowered grenade, then your just an overreactive idiot. Stop trolling the game. If you dont think that is worth fixing then why do yo even post about it? Just stop being immature and give the game some slack. The things on the list arent a facts. There OPINIONS.

  • 12.27.2011 6:27 AM PDT

Also I do think that the things on the list are problems. The netcode is a bit screwed. But I still love the game. If you dont like bloom, guess what! No bloom playlist! Just stop hating and accept that there are faults. You want to know what I did. I ADAPTED. Sure, that doesn't mean I like what I got used to, but I can control my bloom, dodge grenades, outsmart many players, learn the maps ,and overall find fun out of the game. You guys are just a bit lazy to talk about pros.

Yeah, I wondered about this one too.

The netcode of Reach is AWESOME! Things don't work these days because half the players in a lobby is from different parts of the globe.

Im amazed Reach still runs things as good as it does despite things like that, if anything.

Halo: Reach is the beginning of a new age for gaming.
It proves that developers can get away with punishing their players instead of fixing their game....and yet the fanboys will still sing praises to them.

-blam!- all of you fanboys!

There's a reason for that.

You have to get time with the weapon to get better with it.
They are just taking matters into their own hands and ensuring they get the time to practice with it.
IF you never get the opportunity to play with the weapon. you'll never be good with it.

Unfortunately, Halo encourages this kind of behavior. Since it encourages everyone to fight over a single weapon.

Unlike most other games that allow people to actually pick most weapons as a loadout.

Can you pick the sniper as a loadout? No.
So you get the behavior you just described instead.

S8:Prejudice actually found a way to fix people fighting over vehicles as well. Take notes.

And if by netcode, you mean the way matchmaking throws people together into a room, and expects everyone to get along...

Then yes. the netcode is -blam!- broken.
