Subject: Two Major Mistakes in Reach

Posted by: Recon Number 54
Life is a journey, if you spend all of it with your nose in your map, you may miss some of the best parts.

These are my problems with Halo Reach: (my opinion)
- THE MORE FAST PACED HALO IS, THE LESS CARNAGE THERE IS. HALO IS NOT ABOUT KILLS!
In H3 you could hold one of many key positions without being overpowered. THIS IS STRATEGY! IN REACH YOU ARE OVERPOWERED AND VULNERABLE. In Reach there are few strategies that are not cheap. (e.g. Because the dmr is overpowered, people are able to hide safetly and get many kills. Evade is another example.)

- Reach replaced style with graphics. (e.g. The visual style of Halo 3's campaign made it a lot more fun.)

In Conclusion
I believe halo should be a battle of attrition where strategy is paramount. Chess involves great strategy because the pieces have so little ability. The same principle applies to spartans.



This is what I hope to see in Halo 4(or 5):
- More opportunities to "vehicle surf" ;)
- While loadouts are probably a bad idea, armor abilities should definetly remain. One
solution would be to make them like halo 3 equipment.
- No invincible allies like Kat.
- I wanna ride a land turtle! :D
- At least one campaign mission where you can kill a scarab.
- Marines that follow you in campaign.
- I hate bloom.
- Jetpack + mongoose = ?.
- Special ghosts that can drive over water?
- If friendly fire is enabled in mm then betrayal booting should be turned off.

Good read, but I need to correct you.

Turtles live in water, tortoises live on land. A turtle is not a tortoise, it is not hard to understand.

Riding turtles? Am I on the right forums?

I came, I saw, I conquered. On my quest to become Mythic. So all can be jealous of the amazing blue glow from my title bar. =) ~BlindChild~

The awesome signature is awesome

another bloom hater? why is bloom such a bad thing? the DMR has a small focal point, i shouldnt be able to snipe someone with it's accuracy, it gives distance an advantage for distance weapons, it makes sense

I thought precision weapons were supposed to be precise and not random.

Also it would be so much better if the game had land turtles.

spiral out

After playing only TU playlists, I have gotten used to less bloom. I tried play TS for the lolcredits, and I was terrible; bloom was just breakin' my balls.

tl;dr: Get rid of bloom all together, or at least make everything TU.

It is confirmed Rusted has a fetish for turtles.

the problem is that halo, since halo 2 has been promoting mindless aggressive gameplay, very little strategy and team work involved,this could be down to the imbalances in the weapon sandbox.

Last member of the i4Ni clan.

OP: Vanilla DMR is OP

what?

I don't play videogames for visual flair or pretty storylines; if I want either I'll watch movies or read books respectively. I play for gameplay.
