Seriously though, why the hate? Couldn't you write a paper praising it?

no, it's awful compared to the other halo games in every aspect other than the campaign. but actually yeah, if there's something you like about it, go ahead and say it and i'll write it anyway and pretend that i like it.

  • 02.07.2012 2:37 PM PDT

Be sure to tell everyone how cool you are. If you don't tell them, they won't know.

I don't believe you're writing a paper.

But if you are, come up with your own points.

  • 02.07.2012 2:39 PM PDT

:D

"Why this game is bad" is people's opinions.

Wat.

"It's awful" because people are so hellbent on not seeing something progress and change. If Reach was a stand-alone game, with no franchise behind it, it would be seen as brilliant, a fantastic rival to CoD. Instead, it gets buckets of hate for trying to be different.

I'm not going to list the things I enjoy, mainly because it will start a flame war, but also because they're my opinions, and they aren't carried by everyone. The same goes for "bad" parts of Reach - keep that in mind. What you hate may be my love. Example? I despise standard Slayer. It's boring, repetitive and downright pointless to me. However, I am well aware that Slayer may be the one thing people adore, so I keep schtum.

lol. no matter what happens in this thread i'm gonna end up doing my own homework. if i come here to get some pointers, who cares? really the only reason i'm doing this is because i forgot all of the reasons why people hate this game and i'd like a refresher.

and I can post proof if you want.

Hi.

I don't hate change, I hate unfavorable change.

If Halo 4's movement speed is faster than Halo 3's, that will be favorable change. If it's slower, that will be unfavorable change. What's so hard to understand about that?

If Halo 4 were to be slower than Halo 3 and I were to say "The movement speed sucks," I would be deemed as a change-hater, and that's ridiculous.

Repetition Breeds Stagnation.

Any change is good. If they want to make movement slower, so be it. That doesn't ruin Halo. What causes problems is when it is not applied correctly, when it is not in balance with the other elements of the game. Hence why there's been such clamour over the grenades, because the AoE size, fuse timer - they weren't in sync with other elements of the game.

I don't have to cite any sources.

this is the most opinionated and informal paper i have ever written and will ever write. i can use the words i, me, in my opinion, etc., as much as i want.

basically what's gonna happen is i'm gonna have a list of things to talk about (gathering those things from this thread and my own experience with the game), and i'll devote a few sentences to a paragraph talking about each one, depending on how important i feel it is.

if any of you are wondering where i go to school: florida state university.

True. I did address that in my prior post, that good/bad is subjective to the player's thoughts. However, there are things the community virtually unanimously decides are bad, such as the Campaign, grenades, vehicles.

If you're serious, and you are getting credits for this, your professors need to get the sack. That's not me being OMG USELESS PAPER TOPIC, that's me talking from a science background. Since when does an informal paper have any stead in a professional environment? You write "my opinion" on any paper attempting to get published, you'd get laughed out the door.

i'm well aware of that.

i know how to write a formal paper, and would never say anything like that on one.

it's nice to be able to write an easy paper like this every once in a long while though.

If this game didn't have Halo in its name no one would be playing it. Stop fooling yourself.

OP, besides netcode, every aspect of this game is broken. It shouldn't be that hard to write a paper. Simply looking at some old threads will give you more than enough info.

Games do not have to be part of a franchise to be successful. Stop being an asshat and look past the Halo franchise bias. Reach is a good game. It's not perfect, true, but it's a damned good game when you compare it with some of the complete and utter drivel being churned out right now.

Post any and all criticisms of this game here and I'll do my best to include them. Even something as simple as making bullet points like

-bloom
-AA's
-low jump height

basically anything. If MLG or TU fixed it, give me the old version so I can still make fun of it in my paper.


1. Bloom and jump hight make it feel more realistic
2. AA's are good and there is nothing wrong with any of them.

  • 02.07.2012 5:02 PM PDT

They have lower jump height cuz the armor systems given to Spartan III's werent as good as the Mark VI Molnjir Armor

Silly OP, you should know this
