TU is horrid, Reach mechanics fleshed out Halo gameplay nicely IMO. What's the big deal about bloom anyway? Halo 3 reticules are already open anyway, so there's no difference except that anyone who uses tactics would know that pacing achieves better accuracy.
Did you just say there is no difference between the DMR and the BR? WAT?

No, but that the DMR is more accurate. The BR fires 3 rounds, with an open reticule that's always open. The DMR however, can get near sniper accuracy if paced instead of pulling the trigger as fast as possible.

Headshot, headshot, heashot etc...

EDIT: Stone me if you will, but I am a martyr to my people! XD

personally if people only use armor lock at the right time it is okay but when people use it to waste time for example go into armor lock when entire enemy team is surrounding you it gets annoying

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

Correct answer is A.



OT: I don't think TU would work very well in lolSwat or lolLivingDead. But since I never play those I would happily embrace TU changes in every playlist.

Answer: C
And i'm not going to stop playing halo reach because of the update. One thing I prefer is the DMR to the BR, just because IMO its more accurate.

Nope. I agree with you about the bleed through and ESPECIALLY about the Zero Bloom. Bloom is the best thing that happened to Halo, it really assisted in distinguishing the good players, from the people who were better off spraying the Assault Rife, and any decent player would agree with me. Obviously the people who prefer reduced and Zero Blooom and say that's it's BETTER, or TAKES MORE SKILL (<<WTF???<<) really aren't that good in the first place. Sure, Halo 3 didn't have bloom, and the people who argue that they want a more 'classic' Halo experience or whatever should just go play that and spam away. Halo: Reach is a completely different game, and if they change everything to 85% bloom or ZB, then I will stop playing it

Life is a journey, if you spend all of it with your nose in your map, you may miss some of the best parts.

I'll play even more Reach.

There are a few gametypes I don't play due to vanilla settings.


Also, if you got used to vanilla settings, you can get used to TU settings.

  • 01.19.2012 2:19 PM PDT

That was the very word that reduced you guys to tears less than 3 months ago.

I'd be happy if they put SOME of the TU stuff into all the playlists.

As for bloom, it's fine where it is right now.

  • 01.19.2012 2:32 PM PDT

In my opinion:
-Armour lock back to the way it was, but can be shut down by an overcharged PP shot.
-Bleedthrough turned off for melee
-Bring back sword block
-85% bloom

Sorted.

I hate the title update because bleed-through also. It has made pummeling even more over-powered. I don't really mind the Cloak changes. And now I think armor-lock is more broken than ever. I hate armor lock anyway, but now they made it so you can actually die while ALing? It's supposed to make you invincible! Wth! AL needs other changes, but not that one.

Good.
If you use AL, you should be staring at the respawn screen anyway. The changes just help speed that process up. It's for your own good. Really.

As long as they don't force ZB on me, I'll still play Reach. If it ever got to where every play list was ZB I'd probably just play Skyrim and forget about Reach entirely.

Depends. I like zero bloom but I don't like how inconsistent the shield mechanics are under TU settings.

Hey, uh, if you like vs threads, then check out this little group right here, if you have the time. It's pretty fun, just hop right in.

The TU updates are great, but changing each and every gametype to accommodate them would be retarded.

  • 01.19.2012 3:15 PM PDT

Silence fills the empty grave, now that I have gone
But my mind is not at rest, for questions linger on

That means Invasion would be changed, so no, I would not play Reach as much.

  • 01.19.2012 3:16 PM PDT

Halo 2 > Halo 3 > Halo 3 ODST > Halo Reach > Halo CE

Based on campaigns.

No

Truth is, I suck at TU, and I'm much better at 'lolreach'. I think normal Team Slayer should stay the way it is. If I want to play 'lolreach' then let me play it.

Inb4getgood

Inb4nopeurbad

Yes i know i am bad but i am getting a lot better a normal reach

  • 01.19.2012 3:42 PM PDT

Walk by faith. Dude. Not by sight.

At my low level of game play there isn't that much noticeable difference. Reach is still fun, especially with old friends.

Very well put, i agree.

If they did this, I would actually START playing.
