Subject: The death of halo reach

Ah, someone leaked. Now to find the leak and.... plug it.
With justice.

I use coup 5
Never Played halo 1 = Invalid opinion
Bloom isn't whats broken, its your idea of what good is and your opinion
Thats like saying uber nerf armor lock because like 20 percent of the community hates it. Oh wait..................

The Title update cancer has finally infected big team

The last good playlist left is broken

1. Bleed trough is not calculating correctly/ is causing beta style falcon punch rag doll.

2. with so many team members and a 85 percent bloom you can kill a target in 1 second taking out all skill.

3. Armor lock energy bleed is calculating even / meaning a dmr saps as much damage as a rocket. it also defeats the entire purpose of armor lock

4. People are spamming everywhere. You can now cross map from the top of the spire to the banshee spawn in spire.

5. Last but not least. due to damage bleed through based on your health you can actually die from bullets before your shields drop under certain circumstances.

These are not opinions these are obvious errors with the TU

343 just lost me for the rest of the halo series, i gave them a chance. They failed

Walk by faith. Dude. Not by sight.

Adapt. But seriously, it is still fun, you just have to change up your tactics.

I dont judge on what happened. I decide on whether its still just as fun.

Change does not automatically equal bad. Tell yourself it does, and it will tho.

  • 01.10.2012 2:35 PM PDT

Yup. It kind of annoys me 343i said that if you wanted to play the default Halo:Reach, we would be fine, because the changes would only be for Anniversary. I guess they changed there mind?

  • 01.10.2012 2:39 PM PDT

Walk by faith. Dude. Not by sight.

Complaining is how we got the TU in the first place. If you complain enough on 343s site, maybe you can get them to change it back.

You've cancelled your preorder of a game before it's even had its Beta?

Of course i canceled my pre order they have aready proved they know nothing about game mechanics

Here is the place to complain if you want changes.

People are spamming everywhere. You can now cross map from the top of the spire to the banshee spawn in spire.

You could do this anyway, its called scoping in and crouching. You bloom will reset faster and your cone of fire is 33% smaller.

Besides, Big Team has always been a terrible playlist filled with retards, retards who think they are good at Halo because they spawn-kill randoms all day, and terrible maps.

Last but not least. due to damage bleed through based on your health you can actually die from bullets before your shields drop under certain circumstances.

That is completely independent of your health, having 99% shields makes you a 4sk, not having 100% shields and 99% health.

I should have known you were retarded when I read option 2. Halo is a pseudo-competitive Arena Shooter, reticule bloom has no place in it.

It might not even have a beta. Only like 10 months until the game is to its release, and we haven't heard a single word from 343 about anything. They rerally need to get there marketing up. Halo: Anniversary barely sold 1,000,000 copies, when even a small game such as Halo 3:ODST sold 5,000,000.

I haven't actually paid attention to Halo Reach's playlists in a while... After playing a couple of rounds last night I went to Waypoint to see what was up and I was overwhelmingly delighted to see the TU come to the other lists. Team Slayer is my favorite playlist again and the more I play it the more I'm looking forward to the new mechanics in Halo 4.

  • 01.10.2012 3:08 PM PDT

1. Bleed trough is not calculating correctly/ is causing beta style falcon punch rag doll.

I have yet to experience this in any other playlist that has TU settings.

2. with so many team members and a 85 percent bloom you can kill a target in 1 second taking out all skill.

Having a teamshot is the basic principle of teamwork. even with full bloom 5 people shooting someone would kill them instantly.

3. Armor lock energy bleed is calculating even / meaning a dmr saps as much damage as a rocket. it also defeats the entire purpose of armor lock

The purpose of armor lock is not to sit there as long as possible, it is to block explosions and vehicles as an instant use. If someone fires a rocket at you while you are in armor lock, even if it knocks you out of it than the AA has done it's job. You survived a rocket!

4. People are spamming everywhere. You can now cross map from the top of the spire to the banshee spawn in spire.

Dude you are just mad that when people shoot you it actually hits. You no longer have 3-4 seconds to dilly dally around and then hide while they shoot you and bloom says "no you missed". Lower bloom settings reward the person who finds his opponent first. AKA the player with better positioning.

5. Last but not least. due to damage bleed through based on your health you can actually die from bullets before your shields drop under certain circumstances.

It was like that in halo 3. Just take some time to get used to it again.

You could not die before your shields in halo 3
/ not related to the person counter arguing

And I already posted on the 343 forum i simply came to the place where hal discussion should belong. Don't quote me forum rules i have been here awhile

On the note to the OP: How is good aim being rewarded a bad thing? Less bloom means there is more player control being rewarded... Sure, it's faster (It feels like double the rate of 'old Reach'), but that doesn't make it bad.

You could not die before your shields in halo 3

What are you smoking? 3 body shots with the BR in halo 3 did not entirely take down your shields yet a 4th shot in the head killed you.

You are entitled to your opinion about the TU, but when you state things that are obviously false you make yourself look like a fool.

yeh this is why im worried with how halo 4 will turn out. although im more intereste in the campaign itself. 343 have pretty much ruined most of reach's matchmaking. and yes, they have to learn to market better, yes they may want to keep this game a secret for a bit but they are gonna have to release more trailers or something.
and i personally prefer the original halo rather than anniversary.

A couple errors with your post.

Honestly I don't know what your talking about with this one.

1. Bleed trough is not calculating correctly/ is causing beta style falcon punch rag doll.

A 1 second death is not the result of bleed through or bloom, but rather the work of an effecient team. The DMR takes 5 shots to kill meaning that is 5 or more people shoot you at the same time it results in an instantaneous death - Teamwork kills.

2. with so many team members and a 85 percent bloom you can kill a target in 1 second taking out all skill.

Armor lock has now been more balanced and should be used the way it was intended, to either avoid grenades or a lucky rocket. Or to momentarily delay a firefight in the hopes a teammate will save you.

3. Armor lock energy bleed is calculating even / meaning a dmr saps as much damage as a rocket. it also defeats the entire purpose of armor lock.

Cross mapping? How is that any more possible now then before.. If I sat at the top of the spire and paced my shots I could cross map the exact same with 85% bloom. I could understand with zero-bloom spamming but spamming from the top of the spire to banshee spawn is impractical in any sense - it's only pacing your shots that can pull those kills off.

4. People are spamming everywhere. You can now cross map from the top of the spire to the banshee spawn in spire.

This one only makes sense to have been implented, with such an oftenly used health system now as well as the rapid use of health kits in game then it only makes sense to have this. If 2 people face off with full shields and 1 has less health then it would make more sense for the one with full health full shields to have a slight advantage. A slightly advantage that overall won't make the difference in a one on one duel where it comes down to skill.

5. Last but not least. due to damage bleed through based on your health you can actually die from bullets before your shields drop under certain circumstances.

These are not opinions these are obvious errors with the TU

343 just lost me for the rest of the halo series, i gave them a chance. They failed


Those were all facts aimlessly laundered with your inaccurate oppinions.

Take care, I'll be enjoying the series without you. \\//

Lols, faceripper and I had the same m.o. in mind :P

Please don't hype for games...
They'll just fall short of your expectations and you'll complain for months.

Honestly, I really don't hate the TU settings and it's actually fun to play on them. However, because 343 did break their promise that's a problem.

Reachtards used it for an entire year when good players complained about broken mechanics.
