Subject: People are still complaining about default Reach?

Ohai, I'm Loscocco (pronounced Loss-cocoa). I'm a college student (computer science major), 3D animator, and long-time Halo player.

Nobody will stop complaining ever. It is the essence of consumerism.

I don't play Reach dumbass.


Then why are you even here?
You come here to complain about a game you don't play? That no life and pathetic in 1.

Also, it isn't that hard to quote someone you know.
I come here to complain obviously. I can't have everyone on this forum having group hugs all the time.

Anniversary sucks because the pistol is clunky and ineffective and bloom is still there. The fact that 343 advertised it as THE CE PISTOL shows their foolishness and makes me really wonder if they even know a damn thing about the classic gameplay that they claim to be reviving.
While the Reach magnum is less effective than it should be at long range, it is fine up to mid range. I still miss cross map TSKing on Hang 'em High, yet for the most part I like Anniversary. Is it Halo:CE? No, but it is close enough for me to be satisfied. This is coming from someone who played Halo PC during the glory days of Halo 2 and 3.

THATS MY COOL MAN I CAN'T TAKE IT OFF!

Honestly, GoldPro's much better, both in general and in terms of having a 'classic' feel. I'd give that a shot if you haven't already.

Do you get paid every time you endorse Goldpro or something?

No, I'm just spreading the good word.

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

Based on campaigns.

TU beta is garbage. ZB with default movement? AND armor abilities? It doesn't work. I've been saying since the day it was released that the settings were junk and needed to be changed ASAP. 4 months later, nothing. 85% bloom might as well be default Reach, the differences are negligible and the end result still blows.

Anniversary sucks because the pistol is clunky and ineffective and bloom is still there. The fact that 343 advertised it as THE CE PISTOL shows their foolishness and makes me really wonder if they even know a damn thing about the classic gameplay that they claim to be reviving.

Halo 3 has absurd search times (usually I get the 'restarting search' thing at least once) and 1 out of 3 games has an absolutely unplayable host.

The OP is a -blam!- idiot. Everything I complain about here is 100% valid, and 100% true. And if I was able to have any fun in Reach's worthless matchmaking, would I be on the forums -blam!-ing? No. We all play games for fun, you retard. If someone appears to be taking it 'seriously', then that's just their idea of fun.

Bottom line, Reach matchmaking is unplayable, save the MLG playlist if you have a full team. The different gametypes 343 added could have been very good and just what the game needed, but they, like Bungie, they keep deciding that they want to try and please everybody and give everyone something to enjoy in gametypes clearly meant for a specific portion of the community. So in the end they please nobody.

GoldPro is all I can tolerate in this mess of a game. But on that note it is indisputably the best experience this game has to offer. I recommend everyone try it, especially GP 2v2 slayer, which comes as close to recreating CE as anything since. And if you don't like CE, you don't like Halo; you just like the dumbed-down crap Halo has turned into.


Then...have fun playing GoldPro

The Anniversary Pistol's range deficit is only an issue on bigger maps.

I must be missing the context of the situation where you find that to be the case, because in my experience the magnum is amazing. Maybe that's because I have a 2.23 k/d with it, but I've found it to be quite the useful little hand-cannon. In my opinion it implements bloom better than any other weapon in the Reach engine. Requires pacing and good aim at longer range, and permits spamming for fast kills at close range. I mean obviously it's not the exact same as the original CE magnum, but it's a lot closer than any other post-CE magnum.

Range is far from the only problem.

-8 shots to a clip, 40 maximum. Most maps have one or two magnums on the map tops. You're too often forced to go body-looting.

-Bloom. Bloom was only on the CE pistol if you held the trigger. You could avoid bloom and still fire at the maximum rate. Not the case here.

-Spread is ridiculous. Definitely more than on the CE pistol.

Boltshot = mini shotgun

I stopped playing the TU ZB playlist when the magnum was no longer your secondary weapon and I got Anniversary.

Stopped reading here. The only way to properly implement bloom is to never use it in the first place. If you support it in any fashion, you are retarded and have zero idea what makes a good Halo game.

And your experience means dick.
