Story:
1. Reach felt incredibly weak, for a planet that was supposedly as strong as earth, it could even defend itself from one super carrier. Wasn't it suppose to have dozens of orbital defense cannons that could wipe out super carriers? Furthermore didnt it have nuke silos on the ground all over the planet? When you go up into space half the planet is already glassed, and that was before the armada showed up.
2. Noble team's deaths were ALL cliche
3. Noble team pretty much had to do everything.
4. The game totally missed the best part, after you land back on reach from orbit it jumps to 2 weeks after the Armada shows up! Thats the best part!
Multiplayer:
1. Lack of vehicle
2. Lack of weapons/ All covie weapons sucked, even the sword got nerfed
3. A lot of weapons got nerfed
4. almost every map SUCKED, what happened to Bungie's incredible map making skills?
Armor Abilities:
At first Armor Abilities were a little overpowered, so they got nerfed, example: Invis. While other didnt get nerfed: Armor lock.
This made things quite unbalanced, and lead to AA simply slowing down gameplay.
Firefight:
Firefight was way too easy, however when it was hard the enemies simply had more health and you had less health. This doesnt challenge a player, this simply forces them to die over and over. So your choices were either way too easy firefight or incredibly hard not fun firefight. Needless to say, killing wave after wave of enemies gets boring after a few sets, or waves..-rounds! Whatever!! Seriously why not just call them waves!!!!
Forge:
Forge world is useful but bland at the same time. Its good for hardcore forges but not so good for casual ones. They also should have added civilian vehicles to the list
Theater:
You know all they had to to was copy and paste this from Halo 3 and it would have been fine, but actually they took away something! You cant look at videos with your friends. Which means if you want to show your friends something you have to go to the video, fast forward to the part you want, video tap it, put it in your file share which is kind of confusing to do too, then they have to download it, watch it seperately and then tell you what they think.
A minor complaint but if it could be done it 2007 why couldnt it be done now?
In conclusion, huge disappointment. The only thing keeping people to play the game is the Armory, which should have had DLC armor updates.
Discuss the failures of Reach.
