Subject: Why is Reach hated so much?

Campaign: Reach's campaign toasted any canon a book about Reach had. And Reach's campaign was advertised as an epic battle and last stand for Reach. It was actually just Noble Team deciding which countryside backroad to take, and who gets to have a somewhat cheesy death along the way.

Firefight: Offline firefight is actually quite fun, and I can still stand to actually play it. Online firefight is a catastrophe. Not only is it Lagfest >insert year here<, Bungie no lieks da "survival" part of Firefight, so what can I say. Bungie just started catering to the casuals in Reach.

Theater: Its good and everything, but it can only let one person watch, which halfway destroys the point of even making theater mode.

Forge: I thought it was fantastic, but Bungie never really thought very long term in not giving us skinning options for Forge pieces. An understandable mistake at least.

MM: Bloom, Armor Lock, AR Starts, Super Slayer, Team Slayer, Grifball, Heavies (needs better maps at least. At least it was better than Halo 3."We get an extra chopper, HOLD THE PRESSES!"), Grenade Spam, Sword Base, Sword Block, Armor Lock (did I say this already?), Jetpack (on Objective Zealot? No.), no party restrictions (because every 12 year old needs laggy guests, right?!), the betrayal system, only 1/4 of the default maps being any good at all...

Sorry if I missed anything, MM is just so filled with......features.

When the game is over, the king and pawn go into the same box

Because the community is as fickle as it is diverse.

And? People usually only come online if they have something to complain about. If they didn't, they would be playing.

It's supposed to be a Halo game, yet it can never possibly equate to the Halo game it should have been.

AR Starts has been in every Halo, so has Team Slayer. Grenade Spam? Really? What should we do, get rid of grenades? LOL!!! Sword Block I really did not mind even though I could never seem to block but get blocked all the damn time, I felt it evened out the Sword/Sprint combo. Heavies? Do not play it if you do not like it. That would like me saying this game sucks because of Multi-Team, or SWAT, or any other playlist I do not like. I pretty much agree about the maps, I wish Bungie would have created more competitive based maps instead of relying on Forge (which they did a terrible job with anyway. Asylum is a joke of a remake. How about the jump ups? Every time I get stuck trying to get into Ring 2 I want to destroy my controller.)

I understand what you are getting at but half of your points are all things that were in every other Halo or things that can be fixed very easily i.e. Bloom (just make it ZB across the board), Armor Lock (just take it out period), I think Jetpack adds a very cool third dimension to the game. IMO AA's should be pickups not something you start with kind of like H3. It promotes map movement and map control. Starting with AA's promotes the exact opposite. Thank you for your reply though, I love to hear other people's opinions and I respect yours though I disagree with some of it.

Sometimes, I dream about cheese.

weapons don't feel right: AR, PR, plasma repeater, shotgun and energy sword is too weak while the needler is insane.

wouldn't bother me if only 1 or 2 weapons in the game are too weak or too strong but Reach is ridiculous
