While I dont agree with your reasons OP, I agree that TU sucks and should go to hell

VOTE VANILLA EVERYONE
Your kd is 0.68, you have no say in this. Stick to firefight you failure.

Because KDr is outright proof to someone's skill level, and the only way to judge another player's skill by.

inb4 your idiotic counterargument followed by your inevitable rebuttal trying to support a failed argument on a stupid bloody opinion that is also not correct in all points of how a player's skill should be judged by.


Exactly.

FYI that is from being crap at the game before. I'm pretty good now but obviously it will take a while to improve my KD after months of going extremely negative and not being able to aim

Depends what one defines as skill. In Reach I think a good K/D and W/L is skillful. But then the nature of matchmaking in Reach can put you up against poor players making it easy to achieve good ratio's.

Halo 2 and Halo 3 was more balanced in terms of skill but it also brought about boosters, de-rankers and host booters. So at the moment, skill is really what you make it, at least in my opinion.

I hate Title Update.
The near removal of the bloom makes it way too easy to use single-shot weapons, especially the Needle Rifle. Bleed through isn't a terrible concept but gets annoying quick when I haven't had to deal with it in awhile.
The purpose of TU is to supposedly make the game play more like Halo:Combat Evolved. I sort of get that--but consequently it also makes the game play a lot more like Halo 3 which I don't like. Halo 3 was a great game and all but I don't feel like Halo:Reach should be playing like it. Reach should be it's own game with it's own mechanics like bloom and no bleed through. If you remove these things than it just plays like any other Halo game. Maybe some people like that, but I don't.

i cant find a single -blam!- to give LOL no but i agree with you

  • 02.21.2012 10:11 AM PDT

I love pretty much all aspects of the TU. The only things i would tweak are the lowering of melee bleed-through damage, and the reinstatement of sword blocking.

TBH, sword blocking is the only one i really care about though.
I loved me some fierce battles for supremacy with sword bro, and i always thought it took some timing to get it right. you always felt so scared when trying to fight off his blade and kill him lol.

Remember a system called "Highest Skill"? Remember when one or two people had camo and not the whole team? Remember everyone had to climb up to the top of the map, NOT FLY? Remember when nobody could run faster than the other? Remember when you couldn't stall your own death? Remember when there was a variety of maps? Remember when we set our OWN challenges for fun, not by Bungie for credits? Remember when "General" meant something? Remember Halo...3? Forget Reach.

Believe.

Vanilla is noobish.

At least now I can pace a little bit faster so that the spammer actually gets owned by the pacer, and not the other way like in vanilla.

Vanilla is most noobish thing in the game, and i'm glad that TU has got the vote in 78 out of 93 games I've played in Team Slayer this week and last weekend.

Go TU! Go 343i!

The TU is terrible and requires far less skill.
You look like you know something about skill...
You too. you too
You realize that isn't me 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.

Anyone who doesn't like the TU is bad, and therefore doesn't understand anything about gameplay.

You'll adapt to it like everyone else.

CE is CE
H3 is H3
Reach is Reach.

Reach does not play anything like H3 unless H3 had some AA update to it.
Reach is still Reach, the skill gap just got increased.

K, but Reach still plays like Reach.

I'm glad you had fun with that; it just made me feel like crap.
Although I do agree with what you said. The real reason I probably hate TU is because it changes a ton of things and I hate change. I really need to learn how to adapt and tolerate it.

  • 02.21.2012 9:14 PM PDT

Way to go on your KDr. I can beat all of you in Indian Leg Wrestling. FACE!

  • 02.22.2012 1:23 AM PDT

Hey man, don't feel like crap. These opinions in the forum are worth slightly less than a bag of -blam!-. TU is the worst most destructive thing that could have happened to the game. Keep your opinion and your confidence strong and keep posting on it!

  • 02.22.2012 5:11 AM PDT

What? TU saved Reach for me and many other people. Like someone said earlier, in vanilla Reach you just dumb down your playstyle and accept that random BS will happen regularly.

  • 02.22.2012 5:20 AM PDT

I enjoy reading all of these posts on here. I play on and off when I get the chance between work and the gym. What is the difference between TU and Vanilla? I've seen the TU in front of team slayer games. No idea what it does. All I know is I get my @$$ handed to me in both. Props to you guys arguing this out. It actually makes for a better game for me. Keep up the good work. I'll be looking forward to seeing some of you teabagging my dead spartan in the future.

You guys are still having fun playing the game right?

  • 02.22.2012 9:54 AM PDT

I'm actually quite enjoying it. Kill rates are much faster, games move with better pace, and it feels like classic old Halo. My friends and I have been playing much more frequently since the TU. :D

Honestly, I barely played any Title Update games before coming to the conclusion that it was terrible; I really didn't give it a chance. However now that I have I have to say it really isn't as bad as I once thought.
The reduction of the bloom, which I originally thought made the DMR and Needle Rifle overpowered, really isn't that bad. It's actually great in close quarters and like a lot of people said, makes the game less random. The reduction is also great for the Assault Rifle. It's actually useable now and I don't feel like ditching it the first chance I get. My only real problem with TU is that bleed-through makes the melee feel overpowered.
I still prefer "vanilla" Reach though. The bloom in my opinion makes DMR battles require a lot more skill than just strafing. But what do I know?
