7/10

Too many repeated topics, and to point out a few:

-camo sniping
-camo in general

Just say camo is general


-terrible maps
-unbalanced maps
-unbalanced maps in arena
-Poor forged maps in Matchmaking
-Sword Base in general
-Reflection in general
-Uncaged in general
-Zealot space area

Just say unbalanced maps...


-Invasion unbalanced in general (easy to spawn kill)
-Invasion Slayer unbalanced

Didn't need to include the part about invasion slayer, as it falls under the category of invasion.

-Campaign has no character development
-Campaign has no excitement or good plot
-Campaign is about pushing buttons
-Campaign in general

Just say campaign in general


-Campaign is about pushing buttons

This one made me lol and wtf at the same time.


Obvious troll is obvious.
He's just trying to make it look like a long list but repeats many of the same topics. And those were only a few examples.

Just play invasion.

I've developed a real love for it.

And honestly Reach is a good game, sure it has problems. But its 100x better then anything else out there.

That's the problem. Most of the population did.
This. Team Deathmatch in MW3 alone has about three times larger population than lolReach has in total.

And so God called Moses to come forth but he came fifth and was therefore disqualified.

Just another complaint from the average community complainer. ADJUST!

The Battle Rifle had bullet spread and was entirely reliant on who fired the first shot
If this was true, the BR would have no skill gap. The DMR is more luck based due to the inconsistencies of bloom anyway.
thankfully there is a zero bloom game type.

I don't think you understand. These are people that are halo fans. Some started with 1, maybe 2, 3, or even ODST. Whatever it is, these people love the series and hate to see it go down a dark path. Rather than abandon it, they point out the issues in hopes that it may be fixed so the series can continue on a good path.

But you won't understand what I said. You're the type who will spew "Armor lock is not overpowered," "Bloom is ok," and "Campaign was great." And of course, the signature "umad"

Agree with the following very strongly:
-Grenade damage [Seriously, who do these people blow to get the grenukes I've been seeing thrown around?]
-Grenade radius
-Maps with too many CQC power weapons (Sword Base, Crouchdown)
-Poorly implemented DMR bloom
-Bloom in general
-Armor Lock in general
-Camo in general
-Ease of use of sniper [I just think it should have a far longer respawn time.]
-Sprint double melee [It's horrible. Should take at least three melee's to kill someone who has full shields and health.]
-Sword blocking [Except for with other swords - that makes some sense.]
-Terrible maps
-Unbalanced maps
-Lack of skill based ranking system
-Spawn system [Spawns me right next to multiple enemies on a regular basis. Yes, it's terrible.]
-The sniper's effectiveness against vehicles
-Weapon variety (or lack of)
-Theater downgraded since Halo 3
-Poor forged maps in Matchmaking
-Poor forging on Asylum [Hate that map.]
-Party restrictions in general [Lack thereof.]
-Betrayal system

Disagree with:
-Sprint
-Sprint sword
-Jetpack
-The DMR (utility weapon is mini sniper) [Keeps idiots from running out in the open, plus it makes sense. And have you ever actually tried taking on a sniper with the DMR? Calling the DMR the "mini sniper" really doesn't seem fair.]
-Easy to use radar [I just don't care enough to call this a "problem".]
-Challenges [I like them.]
-Vehicles made of paper maché [I think the vehicles are tough enough. Except for the Falcon.]
-Vehicle combat [I have no problem with the combat.]
-AR starts [I kill just fine with it.]
-DMR starts [I kill just fine with it.]
-Forge imprecise [I think it's precise enough and I can be quite the perfectionist.]
-Too few armory pieces
-Game mentality (everyone's a winner) [Don't care and it's not true.]
-Campaign has no character development [Don't care. It's Halo. Go kill aliens.]
-Campaign is about pushing buttons [The whole game is about pushing buttons, analog sticks, and triggers.]
-Campaign in general
-cR in playlists with already high population ["Let's make everybody have to play stuff they don't like in order to earn credits!" Yeah, -blam!- that idea.]
-No warning when rocket launcher/rocket hog/plasma launcher has locked on and you're in an air vehicle ["Let's make it even easier for banshee pilots to rape people!" Yeah, -blam!- that idea too.]

Ha. Lot of text.

Almost all of those aren't "problems" more so personal opinions of problems, some of them are true but most are just something someone doesn't like.

-terrible maps - poorly designed (Sword Base for example)
-unbalanced maps - uneven from spawn
-unbalanced maps in arena - the fact that unbalanced maps are actually implemented into a competitive playlist
-Poor forged maps in Matchmaking - self explanatory
-Sword Base in general - everything about SB is a problem
-Reflection in general - ""
-Uncaged in general - ""
-Zealot space area - The fact that no one foresaw this is a problem
I'll just take this small group and add to them to show you what I mean by each individual point.

-Campaign is about pushing buttons
What I meant was that a lot of campaign missions are ended by pressing a button.

Winter Contingency, press this button. Sword Base is all about pressing buttons. Tip of the Spear has you press a button. Exodus too. New Alexandria is about pressing buttons.

The plot in general isn't at all about the Fall of Reach. It's a long winding adventure where you run around pressing buttons to get the AA turrets online (or something) with Cortana shoehorned in at the end to make the game tie in with the existing trilogy.

This.

OP has around 700 hours of Reach played yet still complains about how flawed it is (and has done since release). If it was that bad you wouldn't play it.

Have you ever considered that not many people play Halo 3 any more? That my friends play Reach and I enjoy playing with them? That I enjoy playing Reach and being good at it despite the fact that it has so many flaws?

I guess none of those crossed your mind.

Sorry, I forgot. We're not allowed to play a game a lot and then criticise the bad parts of it based on our experience. My bad.

Have you ever considered that, to some people, playing a game for around 2 hours a day, for a year, and complaining about how bad it is will make you look like a loser who has nothing better to do? That some people wouldn't do something they didn't enjoy just because their friends were doing it? Or that some people wouldn't complain incessantly for a year about a game they did in fact enjoy playing as, again, it makes them look like a loser?

I guess none of those crossed your mind.

Sorry, I forgot. We're not allowed to voice our opinions of the OP or anything he said in a thread created for the purposes of discussion on a public forum. My bad.

Veritas, Macto, Respecio

i have to say that from what i have seen in the post by the OP, it just tells me that you just dont like Reach. and what is worse, you keep playing it.

who cares if your friends play this game. if you dont like that many things about the game but play it anyway, i dont see how you have the right to complain when all you have to do is...(get ready for it)....NOT PLAY IT!

seriously, if i had that many complaints about a game then i would have traded it in for something else...oh, wait, i did that exact thing with MW2. i had so many complaints about it i traded it in. the world will not fall apart if you get rid of a game that you have that many complaints about.

  • 12.30.2011 6:23 AM PDT

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

~Long Live Halo 2
Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

I love how the worse kids tell the better ones to adapt. Look at his Reach stats. He's adapted better than you, but it doesn't mean he likes he has been forced to adapt to.

No it is not Halo 3, but it hardly feels like a Halo game.

  • 12.30.2011 7:48 AM PDT

Though most of these problems are fixed with Anniversary multiplayer, the fact that infection still doesn't have its own custom maps is severely disappointing. Infection isn't a gametype that plays well on standard maps, it needs special design considerations for it to work. Infection in Halo 3 was awesome, even some of the little things added to maps like guardian made the gametype even more enjoyable.

Just something I thought should be on the list.
