Halo: Reach = Good multiplayer game, but a terrible Halo game.


I still don't get why Halo: Reach forums are spammed by Halo 3 funboys.

I haven't been on Halo 3 in months and I went on Reach 2 days ago.
Try again.

Shoryuken!

Mythic Mode Progress on Reach:
Winter Contingency, perfection.
Other levels in progress.

Reach =/= Halo
AA(x) + melee(2) - speed - height + cardboard vehicles with the exception of the paper airplane of doom = Reach.


Halo = skill =/= luck = Reach

Get it? Got it? Good.

No, I'm not perfect, but I have the feeling you're the kind of person who is used to meeting imperfect people on the internet.

I pretty much agree with the OP.

If you were alright with the "Evolution" of Halo 2 from Halo CE, then from H3 to Reach should have been MUCH easier.

Anyone screaming "Reach isn't Halo" just wants attention.

Halo 2 added dual-wielding and regen health....

Reach added AA's,bloom, -blam!- maps, -blam!- movement, ect..

Huge difference.

serious question, how old are you?

you type incoherently, and often dont weave sentences with any structure, but rather one ramble of several points with no clear purpose.

please try to clear your grammar up, then resume posting.

Also reach is a fine multiplayer game, and had it been in any other franchise, save halo, it would be pretty good.

compared to halo games, its awful.

Reach /= Halo
Halo = upgrades
Reach = downgrade

Things should only be abandoned/sacrificed if they are dead or inefficient.

Afaik, watching Theater with other players, regenerating grenades option in custom games, staying in place when spawning an object in Forge, viewing screenshots at regular resolution, and switching lobbies were not dead features.

Reach went with the wrong approach in basically everything:

Graphics > performance
Cinematics > gameplay
Customization > default

None of the above are good prioritization. Especially customization:

1. Though Reach looks like it has a lot of customization at first, in the end, it's all repetitious.

The enemies on Firefight. You can't mix them up unless you select specific options (i.e. Elite kill team). You can't arm them with your weapon choices (i.e. swords).

Also, why no adjusting bloom, bleedthrough, horizontal and vertical sensitivity, improvements in the checkpoint system, blast radius adjustment, vehicle physics adjustment, etc.?

2. Spartans.

It really pains me when I see Spartans get so many customization options and look bulky from all that. And at the same time, I'm laughing out loud because of how people are going to waste their time and resources to obtain Cr for that armor. When I feel like unlocking Elite armor, I only take advantages of daily challenges pertaining to custom Firefight and if they are reasonable (i.e. kill 150 enemies for 3000 cr, kill 100 enemies for 5000 cr). I don't rush it.

3. Accessibility in general. 10 second countdowns are everywhere, even in places where the player can't possibly get advantages from. On LNoS, I can't even hide under the Wraith drop point. Why would I need to go down there? Oh I don't know... because there's hardly any reliable cover? Because I'm trying to lure a glitched AI there to see how he'll behave. Because I want to?

Other than New Alexandria, most of the campaign forces you to go on a path. Noble Team inevitably clear the enemies on that path meaning you can't face them later.

Providing game breaking easter eggs to compensate is not the answer (especially if you have to play on Co-op to access them). H2's Scarab gun could be recovered on Solo and you could get to it without having to deal with invisible barriers.


I can understand people who play Reach because it's like a tradition to play subsequent games and it can present an interesting challenge (i.e. Mythic players) or because it's a somehow interesting take on Halo but when I see people defending Reach so actively as if they haven't played another Halo game, it just makes me appalled.

The simple fact is that Reach killed replayability in Halo.

Thanks to Cr, custom games aren't as popular as they used to be. And do I have to bring up team battles and armor abilities?

Not even close to being the only differences, but my point remains... in terms of evolutional differences, Reach brought back more original Halo then H2 did.

But you know this, we've had this discussion before.

I wish everyone had that logic, OP.

No.

Because, despite some big changes, Halo 2 didn't directly defy Halo CE's core values and add a cluster-blam!- amount of randomness to the game.

Hell, even Halo 2's weapon sandbox is preferable to Reach's. At least the reason the sandbox for Halo 2 was debalanced was for the purpose of dual-wielding being a saving grace. Reach's AR, Plasma Rifle, Plasma Repeater, and Spiker have no such saving grace.

if you dob't like the game then don 't tell the everyone about it. its not like it will stop us from playing

If you like the game then don't tell every one about it, it's not like it will keep us playing.

You're on a public forum for people to express their opinions, that being good and bad. If someone is telling you why halo is bad they're just expressing their opinion, you just see it as hate because they don't like it.

Because it makes people like you think they are good... When you can get points for being dead last in a game that game is broken. You shouldn't get anything for losing except a good kick in the ass.

Thanks to Cr, custom games aren't as popular as they used to be.


This.During customs, i've had my friends say to me "Hey wouldn't you guys rather be playing something where we can get some credits?". And these are the guys I used to play H3 customs with all the time.

Bungie did what they did to Halo for a reason. Not everyone is competitive in video games, some people are just casuals and those people won't enjoy playing Halo if they are just constantly getting their ass kicked and getting nothing for it. At least with the Cr system in place people get something after they just got beat to a pulp. If you think you can make a better game, by all means please go make one. I'd love to play.

Is this serious?

I intend to live forever, or die trying,

so far, so good.

Sorry People REACH is a Halo Game.

It still a great game, does not as great as Halo 2 and 3.

Im still not sure on Halo 4, but im sure I will play a few thousands games.

I just hope that all AA can be pick up items. And I will forge all the maps like Halo 3, with AA and weapons as pickup items.
