Subject: So what happen?

Just let me vent this out please

I've been gone for half a year working on graphic design projects and playing other games.

I recently came back 2 days ago...and everything about the multiplayer is totally different, heres a few examples.

1. I've heard it takes 3 shots instead of 4? my aimming hasn't changed at all but after every shield I break and I always end up dying even with the advantage. Mind you my ports/connection to the game are OPEN, no connection issues at all.

2.The repeated Spawn killing over and over again, this has gotten a lot worse since the last time I played.

3. The new Maps I'm not very fond off really, besides 2.

Overall, before these changes everything seemed fair and fine, when I finally come back everything seems off like they didn't care anymore.Look this is just my personal observation of the game since I came back I'm not trying to start some internet war. But if this is what its going to be like for Halo 4, I simply wont play the Multiplayer...play the story and take the game back.

Bungie.Match.com: Our Johnson knows what the ladies like.

This is one reason why I don't trust 343i with Halo 4. They really -blam-ed up the title update.

You're talking about Halo Reach right?

I was under the impression it was 5 shots for a kill with the DMR, obviously the last must be a headshot. maybe reticle bloom is giving you trouble?

I often have trouble with spawn killing, but not often enough for it to really piss me off.

As for maps, I agree. I don't have any of the map packs so I'm probably at a disadvantage in terms of variation, but the only map I really like is Sword Base; the rest are ok.

EDIT: Ah you're talking about CE Anniversary, how embarrassing for me...

lol no im not sorry, I'm talking about Halo Reach, Yea it use to be 5 must be 4 now..but I'm too busy getting spawned killed to count.

The Spawn killing is so BAD, whatever happened to the shield that protects you when you spawn? it seems they removed it.

I dunno it just seem so different and horrible now, I honestly don't like it. But yea I stopped playing I can't handle it..went back and watch tv for now.

Spawn killing really does annoy me, is there not some system that prevents you from spawning when enemies are nearby? Surely there must be, because it seems to apply to the player on player spawn thing you get in invasion mode etc. Why not apply it to every spawn?

I'm pretty sure there is a way Roraj, but I guess they said "You know what, what the hell..it's our game now so lets turn off the spawn killing locations and let them run while, lets not have a fair game, while we're at it lets turn off the spawn shield."

That's what I think they did and how they feel about Halo, again if this is what its going to be like in Halo 4, not worth my time or money.

I remember trying out the 'test gametypes' they released before the 'title update playlists'.

People said bleed-through melee would stop the melee spam. I was REWARDED for barely touching the trigger and instead using the AR as a club. I'm talking easy melee kills.

A friend (who admittedly is a good shot) grabbed jetpack. He barely had to TRY to get the headshot kills on me trying my best to kill him. It was literally "bang dead" That was with the zero bloom.

Really, the whole thing is trying to put stuff in Reach, that was never supposed to be in reach. Reach was built with bloom. Tweak it, improve it, it works (I've heard the 85% bloom gametypes are awesome). Remove it? You break the game basically.


Though for somebody recently playing it, did they keep their word that the zero/modified bloom are all in certain playlists, or did they apply it to everything?

Seems like they applied it to everything...I can't express on how bad it is right now....I use to get 15 to 18 kills now I can only get 5 = /

I dunno..stupid excuse but still.

I knew/remember them applying the melee/shot bleedthrough onto all playlists (Did they do it for campaign/firefight too?), but I remember them saying the bloom changes would be in certain playlists/gametypes only.

343 is filled with senior Bungie Employees and good tech people. I don't see why you have to be so negative towards 343 industries.


And didn't they outright say the opposite? That really they only have a few people from bungie?

Yes. There's like a grand total of three Bungie people at 343i.

While Bungie is being replaced by kids recruited out of college. But I don't know who they have as the music director for 343 but I wonder if Marty would stay with Bungie or go to 343.


Marty is part of Bungie and he is going nowhere, he is working in their new project. Bungie is over with Halo.

To be more clear for those who are confused: Marty is part of Bungie.

wow, don't know what to say about the above statements but...as far as I can see on my own end, I've been playing and playing today..it just doesn't seem right since 343 as taken over.

especially the Armor abilities they seem not to work anymore for me, I don't know if it's because I'm actually starting to drift away from Multiplaying because,(Again I'm just stating my own views here) they seem to be all the same, besides the different type of game,abilities,gear...but the Mechanics are there.

Honestly I think the gaming industry as a whole is starting to drift away from me, things between Activision, EA and 343 making things strange I dunno.
