343 ruined Halo with H4.

Nope.

Reach beat them to the punch

Reach wasn't the game it was meant to be when it was made. 343 couldn't even do anything about it.

You guys are pathetic, laughable really. Spending day in and out making fun of a game that you don't even play (or maybe you do play, and that spikes the irony).

Want a war sim? The best war sim in Halo, Forerunner Conflict.

Armor lock is under-powered, the Magnum is OP, and they've almost ruined Alpha Zombies.

I love your form of satire.

What house has a rocket pod, has legs, and has a long narrow barrel that probably shoots something powerful?

Sounds like you're describing the lower half of my body, actually.

Face facts.
People brought the game, found it disappointing, and now have the right to vent that frustration. If YOU want to live in a fantasy world which does not judge the game either;
- start your own blog, or
- stay off this forum.

I have stayed away from these forums since they were errected, more than likely a bad thing seeing how this game turned out.

But not one of you in these forums can say Halo doesnt offer an alternative form of gameplay, thats why we are here.

From Halo CE, 2 & 3 alot has changed, but in Reach its changed to much. For me, Halo was always about having your weapons and maps, learning all the little ways to gain the advantage. I feel like Reach has lost this, in facct I dont think it had it to begin with.

Ever since the beta I felt like the game was taking something from me, like all I has trained for a mastered had gone to waste. No longer was planting headshot after headshot a skill, everyone could do it with ease, you didnt need to plan the tradjectory of grenades, everything just felt off and way too random, even victory is bitter for me on Reach.

I can honestly say due to lagg and randomness, in my eyes there is no truely good or great players, anytime I play a game an go 30-3 theres always them games where I can barely scratch 10 kills, this for me just killed the game because it no longer came down to skill, it came down to connections, granted that I was playing alone all the time and that didnt help, but if I was ment to kill someone, knowing full well they should have died (3 melees? Half a AR clip and a grenade? Surviving rocket launcher splash damage? Surviving vehical kills?) I just felt like it was a waste of my time.

So now I have just reached Field Marshall, aftdr extended periods of not playing. And I do this as a tradition when when a Halo game nears its end, to play out of respect. But you know what, this game has been totally screwed, and I guess thats my point. I hope when H4 is released it will come back to skill, but I just cant help but think all these extra thing like perks, mods will ruin the game further...though I could be wrong. I just dont see how the game will be balanced, how are you ment to know what abilities these people will have when you go head to head? Surely this takes away the last remaining part of what made Halo..Halo?

Like I said I could be wrong and I hope I am, but piling more randomness into the game...how will it be any diffirent to Reach?

Suppose I can be thankful that power weapon drops will be pretty random, people weapon spawn camping killed it for me also, I know it was doable in H3 also, but with the basic weaponry being a bit crud, having power weapons just made you the boss of the match, and with teams located in the weapon spawn areas there was no way to gain access to them, they had already won, no matter how well you could handle yourself.

I know my Halo Reach stats SCREAM that I was -blam!-. But I know my own skill, and Reach was not good at representing that. Im really hoping H4 redeems itself, fine, keep your AAs, perks, mods whatever. But at least make gunplay the core focus of those head to head battles, not lagg, not AAs but how you shoot and what you shoot with.

Do not dissapoint me, I have waited to long

No offense, but don't be so negative. I didn't see much difference. halo is still a great game. Also, how is armor-lock underpowered? you are still invincible, and it still lasts just as long.

Wow, some of the people who are arguing that pre-TU is more like Halo have just baffled me to no limit.

Xbox Ambassador: Feel free to ask any questions you might have about a Xbox issue in a PM to me. I may be able to help!

It does seem (for me atleast) I can not go into another game without either rage quitting or simply not enjoy playing it. This is for Grifball. I decided to play Reach today, was only on it for 10 minutes. Played two games, and I was done.

I put the search preferences on "Good Connection" it gives me the worlds most laggy game I've ever played in. I rage quit with-in two minutes the other team had already scored twice.

The last game I search, and a teammate quits out putting us at a disadvantage against the other team. Ruins my game. (This isn't 343's fault)

The thing about me thinking that 343i's made Halo: Reach not enjoyable to me anymore is the fact their search system doesn't work properly. I put a search preference for good connection it gives me terribly laggy games all the time. So there is no possible way for me to get out of games being filled with lag. I also think that their search system isn't by TrueSkill at all. I'm a 40 in Grifball at least, and it matches me up with people that have no idea what a teammate is. And that just flat right out pisses me off. That's another reason.

I also, don't think I'll get Halo 4 because of this. Unless I hear positive things about the above I complained about. I've considered just selling my Xbox. Because I only play Halo cause I loved it over any other video game (CoD, GoW, etc.). Xbox is a fantastic experience but without Halo being fun, it's worthless to me.

I, actually, kind of agree...

Edit: But I still do not blame 343i (or Bungie).
