Who's got AIDS?

I've wanted to play Reach again. I sold it a while back because I didn't want to play it anymore. I have Halo: CEA but I don't like that multiplayer. How much has the regular multiplayer changed since the TU and CEA came out? Did it get worse? What are the biggest problems?

Bit of both, got better an worse. Unless you're playing ZBNS MLG than it just got better x100.


Biggest problems would be AAs in general an Bloom. Though Jetpack is the -blam!-est.


Most playlists are only tolerable for so long.

I'm in BTB clowning around voting for Heavies or in Anniversary playlists playing Classic (no Jetpack or AL, max speed, love it)

With Squad Slayer/Bleedthrough gone, the rest of Reach isn't even remotely tolerable.

-blam!- 343.

Been around Halo since the first game ^^
Skipped ODST and Wars, but looking into Halo 4 now!!

Im new to Halo Reach, been playing it 2 days only.

Mind clearing what AAs mean for example, and those other short words you were talking about ^^

I found Halo Reach MM very nice! Reminded of me from te good old Halo 1&2 times.

People abused bleedthrough, easy kills when you quickly spam your magnum and then melee...

Lost my old account long ago ( darkops0 :[ )... Halo forever! :3
and back for awhile xD

Nothing has changed in my IMO. Maybe, more parties and some players have gotten better-ish. I have rarely came to someone spamming their DMR (I beat them if they did xD), besides my partner -.-

Nothing would've changed that much for you if you were tolerant, just plain good, or just classy xD when you last played.

Lots would've changed if you were those above or have been gone for awhile. Grenades, AL, removal of some less random? Playlists, ZB is here, 85% Bloom as well, etc.

I can't give more changes... Cause i don't notice any xD

you'd be better off playing the superior game known as Halo 3.

I have nothing to complain about Halo. Halo will always be awesome no matter what 343 does. You should have never sold Halo: Reach.

The usual. I played two matches and left. There's nothing worth spending any time on Reach at this point.

Just wait until 4 comes out.

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

Biggest: Arena division ranking is based on win/loss, instead of k/d.
Armor lock still exists.
People still betraying for power weapons.
Friendly fire is still switched on.
However, Reach is still fun.

Boltshot = mini shotgun

In my opinion, the general community, no bleedthrough, and AA's.
The TU pre-March update helped the bleedthrough problem greatly.

People didn't abuse bleedthrough.

Thumbless morons (95% of Reach's populace) couldn't adapt to it.

Spamming guns for 2 secs/Melee only worked when the opposition was lacking full health, which meant the opposition had to change priorities mid-battle from:

A) shoot at nearest foe

to ...

B) find health

And since 95% of Reach (the thumbless morons) play the game like a dog chasing a car (OMFG theres it is, CHAAASE AND FIIIIREEEEE) they never had full health after their first few encounters. In fact theres a pretty good chance that 95% of kids playing this game haven't even used more than a single health pack in a game.

They're just trying to satisfy the community. A very divided community at that.
