Subject: The most disappointing thing with Reach.

In my opinion, it is not the implementation of bloom, armor lock, or "bad" maps. It is the campaign missions. Or further to the point, lack of campaign maps. However, Reach has the same amount of missions as Halo: CE and Halo 3, so what am I talking about? I'm talking about the style of the missions. Reach primarily focused on Small vehicle/On foot missions. Missions like ONI: Swordbase and Pillar of Autumn are prime examples of this style. And while I enjoy these type missions, I resent Bungie for nerfing the vehicle maps.

Just look at Assault on the control room, Metropolis, The Ark and Coastal Highway. Great vehicle based missions that span across all Halo games. These are the missions I play regularly and still love. However when I play Tip of the Spear I frown, not because it isn't a fun mission, but because it isn't a fun vehicle based mission. It poorly compares to previous missions of its style. At least The Package redeemed some of the honor that Tip of the Spear lost.

Half of the time I'm dead serious.
The other half not so much.

New Alexandria.

new Alexandria is a fun mission with lots of Exploration, but if you are saying it is a vehicle map I have to disagree. Yes, you must use a falcon to get to other locations, but it doesn't really meet the requirements I, and other players, have set.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

I was very satisfied with Halo Reach and I thought it was one of the best halo games.

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

I enjoy it too. But what you are saying is that you don't miss large scale vehicle missions?

Then again you are spartan ken 15.

OT
All of Reach's missions suck. Vehicles of paper doesn't help either.

Halo: Microsoft made us do it.


Fuuuuuuuuuuu

God damn it ThreeSix!

vehicles got Saged. Nothing in Reach could compare to The Ark or The Covenant. Even ODST had more vehicle segments than Reach.

Yep. The others just were more epic in their missions. With Reach you never feel like like what you are supposed to doing is really important.

They're still fun to use, despite being nerfed. But a lack of good vehicle based missions is upsetting.

I love having my Warthog flip from all the uneven terrain they put in the hog sections. I love driving at 5 MPH just to avoid that happening.

So true.

Also, Reach was just rushed, you can even see that Bungie added to many stuff and the good stuff got cut away and the bad stuff came with Reach.

A true vehicle mission wouldn't involve getting out of the Falcon several times.
