Subject: What are some good things that came out of halo reach?

I know there has been bad things like the ranking system, 100% bloom, etc but what do you think are some good things.

I believe that the dmr was a good idea and add but they took out the battle rifle. In halo 4 I think it would be good to have the battle rifle and dmr so those two guns can compete against each other.

Another good thing that came out of halo reach forge 2.0 and forge world. I think we all expected an updated forge but I think most of us didn't think there would be a huge ass map for forging. That created a lot of fun for people who like to forge maps and stuff.

They also brought back the magnum with a scope which was good.

The last good thing I can think of is the ability to search and download things on the game like maps, gametypes etc and not have to search on bnet.

Now, as much as I'd like to just quote this, there are a few things that Reach had that were done somewhat right. I can probably count them on one hand though.

Wait, scratch that, I really can't think of anything.

You're either first or you're last.

You'll never amount to anything, go back under your bridge.

From Reach there were many lessons learned...about what not to do

Sorry, downgrades don't count as anything good coming out of Reach.

Goat was famous. Irie was infamous. Gh0st was FaMaS.

My stats in Halol 4

Typical Waypoint post.
no it's "its got to go" you wouldn't say the "it is got to go" would you?

Making people mad with HTO became so much easier.

Limitations to one ugly map, and an ugly palette isn't much of an 'upgrade'

I <3 Halo:Reach - amazingly fun and best campaign + amazing Soundtrack
I <3 Halo 3:ODST - best soundtrack + Firefight + Coastal Highway and Mombassa Streets, amazingly unique campaign.
I <3 Halo 3 - best multiplayer levels + Forge + best Custom Games + soundtrack
I <3 Halo 2 - amazing huge fun campaign + soundtrack + Fun multiplayer
I <3 Halo: CE - started it all

ForgeWorld

Better Forge Options

Firefight customization

Space battle

Armor customization

Ability to have thousands of forge maps and films, other then the Halo 3 max of 100

The ability for people to leave campaign games withith the whole game ending, like in Halo 3.

Daily and Weekly challenges

Credits (to an extent), to make everyone happy, they should make credits for armor, but still show a real rank.

better graphics

Better animations

Assassinations

Gametypes (Headhunter, action sack gametypes, so really every gametype from halo 3, but with about 15 more added).

Better Network

Better Veto system

Better user-interface for the main menu

easter eggs

I could lable more stuff from MY VIEW, but those would be the options that people would disagree with me. The things I listed above, you would have to be trolling if you said they were bad.

That's not a problem with Forge, that's a problem with the maps and spawnable items.

Reach's Forge introduced stuff that makes Halo 3's Forge obsolete. Being able to naturally phase objects through one another, for one.
