1. Zero Bloom on every playlist (except living dead let the noobs keep it since they love it)

2. DMR start all gametypes except team snipes

3. Add 1-50 Ranked Playlists (FFA, TS, Objective, MLG, Doubles, and Team Snipes)

4. Remove all armor abilities from any ranked playlist (maybe put evade and jetpack on the map like MLG) and yes i mean sprint too.

5. Put a mandatory 2 level drop for quitting a ranked match (for all you people who think the ranking system sucked cuz kids quit and you lost)

agree or disagree? lemme hear it

I can narrow it down to one.

Trash Reach and start again.

But, that'll never happen, so I go with a few of those ideas, but hey, those will never happen either unfortunately.

(To discuss Halo 4.)

5 reasons why Halo 3 wasn't as good as Halo 2, (and neither was Reach)

1. Terrible dialogue (To War)
2. Half the Campaign spent driving to the Portal, really?
3. Plot holes in the second half
4. Cortana Moments
5. 10 level system

  • 02.10.2012 2:06 AM PDT

I 100% agree,
Reach is nothing in comparison to H3.
Practically no sense of ranking, just the cR system which has nothing linked to skill.
The Arena has about 5 players in it all day, and the ranks are useless.
AR starts on Slayer games are about as tedious as pulling out my teeth.
If there was DMR/AR starts in every game type it would make the crappy less of an annoyance.
1 other thing, remove Hemorrage from team snipes, its such a troll map, everyone seems to vote for it to then quit out the second they get killed once.
/Rank.

"but you already knew that, I mean, how couldn't you?

Only when no Human brick is left atop another, shall we be satisfied with your destruction.

It *IS* a respectable Halo game, in many ways it's playstyle reminds me of Halo 1, and that is no bad thing in my opinion.

1. Zero Bloom on every playlist (except living dead let the noobs keep it since they love it)


Bloom is really not an issue, at most it means you very occasionally miss a headshot, it's hardly the end of the world.

All it really means is you have to be more careful.

2. DMR start all gametypes except team snipes

While I personally would like that, many people wouldn't, why should we deny them the choice?

3. Add 1-50 Ranked Playlists (FFA, TS, Objective, MLG, Doubles, and Team Snipes)

Reach's ranking system is arguably better and less prone to abuse. But very few people play arena, I guess the obvious conclusion is not that many people really care.

I would appreciate a selection of arena-style ranked playlists over the current setup however.

4. Remove all armor abilities from any ranked playlist (maybe put evade and jetpack on the map like MLG) and yes i mean sprint too.

I'd disagree on this one, restricting the choice to perhaps two, or even one would be more benificial than removing them altogether, it adds extra options and tactical depth to the gameplay. Setup in a ranked game is important, sprint etc can help you change your setup quickly.
Armour lock is very prone to abuse in a ranked game, essentially becoming a way to avoid grenades and 'leapfrog' with your teammates when taking damage. For that reason it should probably not be included.

5. Put a mandatory 2 level drop for quitting a ranked match (for all you people who think the ranking system sucked cuz kids quit and you lost)

I hate quitters, but that kind of thing would just result in more folk doing network shenanagans, there are too many people out there that just love screwing others over.

agree or disagree? lemme hear it


Mostly disagree I'm afraid, most people play the game casually just for a bit of fun, if more people wanted to play MLG-style then the population of the MLG playlist would be bigger.

It would be really unfair to change things that many people seem to like for the preferances of a minority.

"I may not be perfect, but always been true."

Why don't you go back to Halo 3 instead? We would all benefit from it.

  • 02.10.2012 6:57 AM PDT

You are basically saying that reach should be a copy of halo3 + harsher penalties. Just play halo 3 ranked because most people like the change. It gives the game more of a challenge and gives variety to most battles.

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

1) A good story.

2) Good characters.

3) Better music.

4) More creative objectives and level design.

5) ODST-style Firefight where you actually have to work as a team.

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

Trash Reach and start again.

This and then when they start again they should have this:

Plus, a competitive multiplayer without terrible gimmicks like Armor Abilities.

I would only agree on some of those items on your list, mainly the ranking system. In my opinion, if Reach had numerical ranks(1-50), there would be more competitive players. However, the system Reach has now is far less abusable.

  • 02.10.2012 8:43 AM PDT

The Few, The True, The crew

remember ChiFighter= k+eye+fighter

Reach is good.

only big big problem is rank system.Halo 3 had the right idea but it was completely broken system. Thats right.

Halo 3's ranking was BROKEN. Halo 2's was good and almost perfect.

so either back to H2 or fix Arena.

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

This is not the place for this and Reach was everything I wanted in a Halo game. It had a good story, fun multiplayer, better Forge mode, and tons of new features.

We should know better, because we are better.

I lke Reach as it is. All I really wanted were more diverse multiplayer maps, which I got in the map packs.

right, because pacing your shots is too hard. I hate having to actually think when I'm shooting at someone. I prefer just shooting around like an idiot with perfect accuracy every time. Yeah, bloom sucks. /sarcasm.

Bollocks. Reach's story was terrible for a Halo game.

fun multiplayer

This is a lie.

The large population drop speaks for itself; even 3 years into its life cycle Halo 3 was still in the top 3 most played games, Reach has been slipping down the list because more and more people are growing apart from it. AAs are a gimmick, they're not Halo in the slightest, I'm not usually a multiplayer person but even I can see that the whole thing was majorly dumbed down from the competitive aspect of Halo 2 and 3. Reach pushed Halo further into the 'generic FPS' category and is a plague on the series.

better Forge mode

Yet only 1 map that's actually good to Forge on...

Regarding Forge, do you even use it?

Forge World is 20x better than it was in Halo 3, fact. The features and options have increased by a lot, and Forge World is huge.
