Subject: Why I think that the changes in Default Reach were bad

I intend to live forever, or die trying,

so far, so good.

Long post and read it all.

I agree with what you have said.

I much preferred Halo 3 Equipment. Yes it also slow down game play, but as it was a pickup and one use item.

It use was rare. And depending how it was deployed changed the battle for or against you.

If your opponent drop a Power Drain on his own team mates, and you got easy quick kills, this gave you the advantage as the enemy used the equipment poorly.

In REACH, ifyou stuff it up, it does not matter as you spawn with it.

I do not know why AA are not pick up items in REACH.

Not a bad post- you have enough information and you keep your opinion separate. Nice work.

However, I enjoy the use of sprint rather than the universal highier movement speed as it allows you to escape easier from people using other armour abilities. For example, if I had no shields, I could sprint away and at least have a chance of escape.

Also, it allows for better use of close quarters power weapons such as the sword and shotgun as they allow you to approach opponents faster than they can retreat.

Otherwise a good post

I have a feeling you're going to be heavily flamed.

Meh, it is my honest opinion.
What more can I give?

True, but good positioning lets you can escape and survive easily without sprint.

A valid point, however, many average players such as myself are unable to position themselves well and this leads to people getting ambushed by enemy players. Sprint allows them to escape as they are moving much faster than people with any other armour abilities. If instead everyone was moving at the same speed, the said person would have almost no chance of escape.

But if you learn how to correctly position yourself and have Sprint then you are that much harder to pin down in a match because you can escape almost all disadvantageous situations.

~ Videogames are my favorite videogames ~

I'm not sure I agree with the whole wanting higher jump and increased speed.
The default lower jump and speed fits with this games setting, and is meant to be at least somewhat similar to CE's characteristics along with the other little throwbacks included like health and fall damage. Keyword is similar, not mimicked, even if some people liked the faster streamlined style of H2 and H3 along with the new community that came with it.

Hell, I'm fairly sure you jumped even lower in CE, not to mention the movement felt more slippery. For example, that's why Blood Gulch's bases were raised up in later sequels to go with the higher jump. CE's gamestyle was more of the main inspiration than the other two this time.

The CE jump height is higher and more floaty than the Reach jump but less than the Halo 2 and Halo 3 jump.

Those throws back don't work because the weapon balance is more influenced by Halo 3 than Halo CE.

Meaning that most of the automatic weapons are more useful for taking shields down and then finishing with a melee, unlike the CE automatics which you could more readily use to shoot someone to death.

The grenades are also unlike CE grenades which took longer to explode and had to come to a complete stop on the ground before they did so.

Reach grenades however will bounce once before exploding and with the slower movement they become much harder to avoid making them easier to use.

I'm about as slightly above average as you can get.

Not going to mention that there is a trick jump for Reach?

There are a few but they are nothing compared to the ones that were placed by design in Halo 2 and Halo 3.

I think I read it before, I remember the Jetpack part someone copied into another thread, but I have more important things to remember. Like -blam!- Pascal.

That was me that reposted the Jetpack part. The OP of that thread asked why we thought Jetpack was bad.
