Subject: Things Reach did right

I like to play Reach for fun. I hate MLG, campers, armor lock, and team killers because they ruin that fun. Deal with it.

We've seen hundreds of threads on this forum about "How much Reach sucks" or "Reach is broken." And it makes me wonder, was there anything Reach actually did right?

Nope. SouthPole isn't a person. He's the avatar of the force of tryhards everywhere. He stalks the web looking for retards to set straight. He can not be stopped by mere bans or thread locks for he shall rise anew.

Not really. Maybe netcode. Some ideas like assassinations and the armory were good ideas, but Bungie still managed to do them wrong.

There's a lot missing. Parts are missing from sets and some options have like four options while things like shoulders have around 15.

The only thing better is the mechanics, co ordinates/snap rotation/etc, everything else is a downgrade.

But there's still glaringly obvious flaws. Just because it's better than v1 doesn't mean they did it right.

True, maybe 343 will make 3.o good.

Honestly, 343 isn't nearly as -blam!- as they would have been if they took over after H3. Reach is bad in basically every aspect, so it's not like they have to reinvent the wheel. What they have to do is pretty clear.

  • 02.11.2012 6:13 PM PDT

I have a conspiracy theory. Maybe Bungie made Reach bad so that 343 would be able to make a better game once they took over. Also a bungie employee shot JFK.

The awesome signature is awesome

Nothing, unfortunately Bungie tried to make the best Halo, but everything was new and was not used correctly.

I like Forge 2.0, but it lags, more with 2 player in same xbox.
No dedicated server always lag.
bloom and AL worst ideas ever.
Campaign was not what Bungie promised.

Good thing: The only good thing to Reach that was new and works perfectly are Assassinations.

Change color of some vehicles and forge structures and making almost everything an objective.

Life is a journey, if you spend all of it with your nose in your map, you may miss some of the best parts.

Forge
Netcode

That's about it, really.

There are actually a bunch of glitches with assassinations resulting in suicides. Aside from that, they could have had weapon specific assassinations.

Just like the armory, there's nothing really "wrong" with it (when compared with actual game breaking things like bloom), but they could have been done a lot better.

The active roster was a good feature, but it shows the most useless -blam!- stats ever. Who cares about your -blam!- armory completion? No one.

It should show K/d and W/L.
