Thanks for explaining. Personally I am completely fine with reach how it was released. I think that the bloom gave it a different feel than halo 3. I personally would play vanilla reach, ZB would just make me feel like I was playin Halo 3. Btw what is Bleedthrough/melee bleedthrough?


In vanilla reach, if you are melee attacked while you have any amount on shields left, you will be left with full health. You could have full shields or a tiny bit left, you will be left with full health after being meleed

With bleedthrough, damage carries over to health. If you do significant damage to shields and then melee, the damage will carry into health and kill them

When you get shot some of the damage goes to your shields, and some "bleedsthrough" to your health. With bleedthrough, its possible to die before your shields are entirely gone.

However, I disagree with what you said. I like default Reach. I hate ZB because you walk 2 steps after spawning and get cross mapped by the other team. At least with 100% bloom you can actually escape from cross mappers and get a chance to counter attack
You're overexaggerating to the max here. It's still really difficult to cross map, you're just complaining because you take stupid routes around the map and get picked off for it. Change your game play up and move smarter. It requires more thought. If you get cross mapped in ZB you still deserve it.


Not on maps like Countdown, since the enemy teams spawn opposite each other you just get cross mapped before you can get to the lift
You can cross map them back.

As I said, take smarter routes. You now pay for your mistakes. How is that a bad thing?


Personally i never thought i took 'stupid' routes, just the ones that were safe from enemy fire and were quick on the way to power weapons

What you think you are doing and what you are actually doing are 2 completely different things.

And now you've learned that you're taking stupid routes and you're paying for it by getting shot up.

Default Reach has catered to worse players.


Hmm

Tomorrow I'll try finding some new routes

In my experience, its not so much the routes you take as when you take them and if you're alone or not. If you learn the spawn times on weapons it helps quite a bit. And, if you run lone wolf in a TU game or ZB game you're dead. Usually. You really have to learn to work as a team, or a "wolfpack" as I like to call it. Co-ordinating your fire with teammates and covering each other is key. In my limited, non tryhard experience.

Thing is sometimes other team mates run off in pursuit of power weapons.

Three options:
1) Play with your friends
2) Follow them
3) Tell them they're idiots, why they're idiots and then betray them until they boot you. At the least you won't have to play with them anymore and maybe they'll listen and start playing better.

I dont have any friends who play Halo :(

Also i dont usually go into game chat. If i did my friends who hate Halo would probably spam me with invites for 'betraying them for nerdy Halo players'

Welcome to the internet. Joy dies here.

I blame the B.Net, this is place is full of so much negativity and "My opinionz r factz" its hard not to get frustrated here sometimes.
When it's just talk, I have no issue. It's when it affects my gaming experience that I get mad.

But, it just struck me as being funny I'm talking to you about pretty much the same topic on two different forums.
That's called being thorough ;) lol

Agreed. All the changes are good and add variety. Do we really want another Halo 3? Just running around with one gun and no armor abilities? It's good that 343 wants to try something new. Do we really want the same thing for three more games?

Vanilla Reach sucks ass..
Anything outside of MLG is honestly terrible-mediocre in quality.

I'm sure people who can't play properly in Vanilla Reach would say something like that :)

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

Vanilla TS, with DMR starting, but without bleedthrough.
That would make my day.

I didn't think there was bleedthrough in vanilla Reach.

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 sucks.

But regular Reach isn't much better.

I would be sad to see default Reach go, I like it more than TU. Dont see why they can't have both, one half of the community stays on one side and the other on the other half anyway. Abolishing either half of the playlists will only make rage
