I just want a general tally of the opinions of this board. I won't think any more or less of anybody so long as you provide a valid explanation of your choice. I personally won't be playing this game after the March update unless major changes are made after the fact somewhere down the road. It's probably just wishful thinking, but we'll see.

I strongly disagree with the changes, but I basically only play the game when I'm drunk now anyway since it's been kinda -blam!- for a while, so it's not like me and my roommate derping around in team slayer is going to be significantly affected.

  • 03.02.2012 3:13 PM PDT

I will continue playing with the March update, but future updates may change that.

  • 03.02.2012 3:15 PM PDT

Strongly disagree. Probably won't much at all after Tuesday.

Not much is changing. I don't see what the big deal is.
Yes because removing bleedthrough isn't a big deal.

If you say so. Whatever the case, this is the last straw for a lot of people I know that play this game.

  • 03.02.2012 3:22 PM PDT

I'll still play, but customs mostly.

  • 03.02.2012 3:22 PM PDT

Boltshot = mini shotgun

I'm still probably going to play Reach from time to time, just Anniversary even more.
What the -blam- was going through 343's heads when they made this decision anyway?

  • 03.02.2012 3:23 PM PDT

spiral out

Here is an analogy to express my feelings of Reach:

-Vanilla Reach is an open wound.
-TU (prior to the March update) was a bandage. It made the wound better, but a wound is still a wound.
-The current form of Reach is that same wound, but now with the bandage ripped off. The wound will now fester and become infected, and Reach will eventually die.

Reach's bleedthrough was awful. I'd rather it be fixed rather than losing it entirely, but getting rid of it is the second best thing they could have done about it.

Bullet bleedthrough is questionable. Not melee bleedthrough.

Way to make this game into a boxing match again.

This is actually the stupidest thing ever posted on B.net:

Why does everyone hate Halo 2? Maybe its because its the worst game ever next to mario.

Everyone will keep playing regardless of what anybody says about the update.

The Tech Game

1,000,000+ Members, and still going strong!

I seem to like their changes.

Explain?

Ever wonder what's up there?

I don't see the "I agree but meh" option.

Melees, weapons and grenades. All of which are OP in Reach. There's your gold triangle. I didn't choose it, but adding bleedthrough to bullet damage in this game was dumb.

Pointing fingers toward people who have little to do with this. Yeah, you're definitely a competitive.

Listen, I haven't said one word to 343, nor has Reach entered my X-Box in weeks. I didn't have anything to do with this update.

I'm just gonna stop playing, ever since 343 has taken over Matchmaking they've been handling it poorly.

i really dont like the march update, getting rid of evade really pisses me off, but i have won games w/thout an evade load out so i'll keep playing. might as well, 343 keeps dumbing down the game, the more they dumb it down the more the game becomes hell of a lot easier for me.
