I know nearly everyone likes to hate on this game, but I will agree that it is the weakest of the titles. Although yes, the combat is less skilled, I thought that it was decent. Since Bungie is out of the picture as far as Halo goes, makes me wonder what Halo 4 will be like once we truly see what 343 is capable of.

Long story short, I thought Halo Reach was "okay" and satisfies me for now despite its shortcomings. I just hope that Halo 4 doesn't end up like Duke Nukem Forever in terms of late promises by a new developer, and a let down. What's your thoughts, do you think you will be grateful of what we have for now or do you think that we are only seeing a rebirth?

As a side note, I think that more modern day fps games might have stifled the demand that a sci-fi shooter would appeal to is also part of the loss of the "good ole' days".

No...you need to tack on another 14 years of waiting for it to wind up like Duke Nukem Forever

Yeah its not like halo is a has been series or anything.

Its still a relatively young series for most older gamers, only ten years old. I don't notice the lack of skill because most of the time I forget to use my Armor Abilities when I have them.

Most people complained about Reach because it asked them to incorporate the Armor Abilities into the way they play, and most could not do it. So they labeled it a failure, when really...

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.

Cool assumption, bro. Too bad that's not why. At all. In any way, shape, or form.

lol, you have a .5 K/D and you're telling us that we don't know how to play and use armor abilities.

I rarely play much, and I admit I am not a great player, or even a slightly decent player, but I am getting better by playing and learning how to counter and use every thing in the game to my advantage.

I just wish people would try to adapt more.

But you said I am wrong, and I would like to know what is the reason you believe the game is broken.

I will freely admit I am wrong if I you tell me why, because I do not play much, like I said, and I could very easily be missing something.

Dude, I'm not going to go through everything wrong with Reach. If you really want to, search through this forum or maybe even the MLG forums.

It's foolish to actually believe at this point that people simply couldn't adapt. It has been discussed and explained thousands of times.

While, yes, I am new to this Forum, I have played ever single Halo game, when it first came out, so I am not just stating out playing Reach, though I only really started trying to play matchmaking in Reach, being to poor to afford Gold as kid and Traveling to much while I was in the Navy to have anything stable enough to really get into online play.

I apologize for my ignorance, being an old member in many other internet forums, I understand your frustration in my ignorance and limited views, I too have expressed similar feeling to new members.

The way you made sure to sound so unoffensive with that post, is offensive.

Most good players have adapted, trust me.

Just because we dont like armor abilities does NOT mean we couldnt adapt to them they make playing the game at high competitive levels frustrating, and random.

ill just give a few examples,

Armor lock just delays the inevitable by bringing the game to a complete halt.

Jetpack allows users to...just watch this

Active camo has no need for an explanation, if you need an explanation on why camo is game breaking please return your copy of the game.

People need to understand that halos core gameplay did not change with halo reach, people still need to set up, get power weapons, keep map control, and time power weapons, this type of gameplay does not work well with armor abilities at a high competitive level.

That was horrific game-play. His DMR was awful, and everyone knew where he was after he killed them once.

Halo 2 > Halo 3 > Halo 3 ODST > Halo Reach > Halo CE

Based on campaigns.

Why have all cryptological posts been reported

  • 03.21.2012 1:31 PM PDT

Who's got AIDS?

I've said it before and I'll continue to say it: The only thing I hated about Reach was the Bungie Day playlist. Not because I didn't get to play against the Bungie team, but because every cheap way to kill someone was utilized in that playlist. What it boils down to is this: I didn't like the community for Reach. That was it.

I'm the cult of personality,
I call it like i see it, if i feel the need to be blunt and to the point, then i will, if i feel the need to be very detailed, i will, im here to stay and im here to do things my way, if you respect that or not is your choice, not mine,
and don't worry, while i don't agree with everyone's opinion, i do respect everyone's opinion.

I actually like the jet-pack when it is used right, like to get onto another part of the map, that you could also get to by foot.

Drop Shield - IDK, I have seen it used to jump to areas you are not supposed to get to so I am iffy on that one.
Dude no wonder you got reported.

that was what you got out of the gameplay i linked?

lol retards on the reach forums

he probably finished with 10+ assists and was at single digit onyx level.

i didnt link that game to show off his DMR it was to show how abusives the jetpack is.

as i previousl;y stated, the people who insist on reporting the guy for his opinion are idiots, of corse i mean that in a none offenseive way, the mods arent gonna ban the guy for stateing his opinion, no matter how many peoiple dissagree with it, the report system is ment to be used for those who actualy break the rules, not for those who have a differnt opinion then your own.
