"In Halo 3 not all 50's were good players, but all good players were 50's."

Your opinion is invalid.

Default Reach (100% Bloom)
-Probably the worst form of Reach. Gameplay is nearly stagnant and occasionally a player will spam and out DMR a player who paces.

TU Reach (Zero Bloom)
-Only slightly better than Default Reach. The kill times are too fast for Reach's snail movement speed and kid with polio jump height. Pistol is overqualified.

TU Reach (85% Bloom)
-Best form of Reach aside from MLG settings. Bloom is manageable and leads to quicker kill times, but not instantaneous ones. Pistol is slightly stronger, but not a god weapon like in zero bloom.

MLG (Zero Bloom)
-What Bungie should have aimed for with Reach. Zero bloom actually works because of faster movement speed and jump height. Takes a deal of individual skill. Maps are easily twenty times better than the ones that shipped with Reach.

My Youtube channel, i post Halo gameplays and clips. :)

I went on 100% today for the first time in a while.
I lost faith in humanity. How can people say TU ruined reach?

They could make it so much better with 110%/100% or 125%/110% damage/resistance ratios, 90%-75% melee, and better movement percentages.

This is a big one. It's one reason why I don't enjoy the TU settings.

Actually, they weakened the 85% pistol back to the 100% bloom and no bleedthrough version


OR not We'll never know because ThreeSix can't link.

Apparently, I was wrong, unless you've played and seen it yourself. They only tweaked it back to 5sk as far as what I read on the update. The heading just said "Tweaked Magnum back to Pre-TU behavior" but then gave a better description below.

eh, i'll be happy if there was a reduced bloom gametype that doesn't have weapon bleed through.

though, the consistency and pace in 85% and zero bloom i much prefer over default for slayer and objective.

4 shot kill 85% pistol was still >

4sk Mag and DMR with 85%>
That's why I want them to make it either 110%/100% or 125%/110%. I like the latter option more because it deals with grenades (in some strange way), buffs the sandbox to perfection, and gives us 4sk DMR and Magnum.

Oh yeah, and boot Zome.

I still don't understand why Asylum hasn't been replaced by MLG Sanctuary.

Dat pillar and ring spawn.

You can't make any jumps with Reach movement speed and jump height.

Because the Bungie version is clearly superior since Bungie made it.

It's because the newer versions haven't supported 4 player splitscreen apparently.

Pretty lame reason if you ask me, but that's Squad Slayer.

I haven't thought to try this. I'm doing it when I get home from work now.

Reach barely supports 4-player split-screen on its own.

Fix'd


Nah but for real, all Asylums replaced by the current MLG Sanct and the MLG Sanct replaced by Sanctum.

They're still holding onto it for some reason.

They should. I love being able to play offline with my buddies. It's just sad that it's so horrible in Reach.

idk, Im starting to agree with Goat. sigh... Bleedthrough is okay but it was not designed with reach in mind and the headshot bonus is really weird because u could have a sliver of health and still die without no warning of your death.

  • 02.04.2012 11:59 AM PDT

chances are I don't care who you are or what you say.

I agree with just about everything you said, although I still would wonder how well MLG would play with 85% bloom :)

Terribly

Why would you ever want your shots to be randomized, on a precision weapon no less?

I'm new to competitive Halo and Halo itself (Reach being my first video game ever actually). Message me if you want to play;

Reach: MLG, Arena, Doubles, BTB and customs.
Halo 3: Ranked MM and customs.

Also I have every Halo title and all of its DLC on the Xbox 360.

I don't play MLG so I prefer 85% currently. The OP has now made me understand why.
