This game has been declining ever since the last update. In fact, this game is near unplayable and unenjoyable to me. Hell, it's almost as unenjoyable as Modern Assdick 3 and that's saying a lot.

Of course the ridiculous "toss a coin to win" RNG bloom and BR spread rank up there as one of the many problems, but the spawns also seem much, MUCH worse than they've ever been. For example:

"There's the guy sniping from the two-story, I'll just sneak around and flank him.

NEVERMIND! Turns out the game decided to spawn his team at his exact location and now I'm a bullet sandwich. Silly me, trying to actually use logic and common sense."

or

"Wow, that was an intense firefight! How many headshot does it take to actually kill a person anyw- WHAT THE HELL?! He just spawned in the shed across from me! Motherfu-"

I no longer view armor lock as an annoyance, but more as an invaluable tool. Why? Because everyone has a twitchy grenade finger and will flood hallways and confined spaces with so much explosions and shrapnel you'll end up deaf for the rest of the match (I would go into the details of martyrdom grenades but it's kinda obvious in the name). Throw in copy-paste forge maps and lack of LAN support and you get a big mess.

It's a piece of s*** and I don't like it.

PS

Please, GOD, don't let Halo 4 isn't Reach 2.0 or worse.

ZomG, for those people wanting to know everything, this is not my Main tag anymore, (McCrash IS for Posting on B.net)

Original XbL Gamertag, zeDutchKreatiVz, as you guessed, Im Dutch/from Holland/Amsterdam.

...Also wTf happened to Halo.......*sighs*

the worst problem with Reach for me was that they lowered the Skill gap, which (before TU) was like....non-existence.

And the overall quality of gameplay.
Ofcourse there were many peoples that like how a game looks ,Graphics being one of them, OVER the core Gameplay itself.

To me being on the Arc in 3 beats every Area in Reach. hands down.
And Reach was supposed to look good? gimmme a break.

I played many shooters, FPS moreso, however, Combat Evolved Made me play it, the feeling was just so darn good.

An ambitious game with seemingly good theoretical concepts that were unfortunately either not fully realized or executed poorly

How is halo 4 disgusting.

Personally I liked the multiplayer. it had the best halo multiplayer out of all the halo games(not including Halo 4 or Halo wars, I actually haven't played Halo 4 multiplayer because of storm problems). The campaign wasn't too memorable, but I think it was good. Of course it wasn't good enough to replay unless there was challenge. The forge was good except for the money cap and not having enough parts.

The main problem I had were the maps. The maps weren't great. Forge world was too big for it's own good. The rest of the maps weren't big enough and even the downloadable maps weren't that great.

Overall, Halo reach makes a great multiplayer game, but lacks in everything else. i would give it a 7.5/10. Overall a good game, but it doesn't stand out.

What house has a rocket pod, has legs, and has a long narrow barrel that probably shoots something powerful?

Sounds like you're describing the lower half of my body, actually.

After playing Halo 4. Halo Reach is a better game.

And yet ... lets look at your profile;
"Online playing Halo 4 - In Matchmade Game Haven".

lol, and the time spent play each, you have even been playing H3 more than reach. Amazing how people post crap thinking that their game play history isnt available - duh.

Perhaps what you mean "reach may be better, but I still dont want to play it because its actually worse".

You are quite the fellow. I have to play Halo 4 because one of my real life friends want to play it.

Since firefight is 30 minutes long and I played the campaign more than Halo 3. I think it is fair to say I played Reach more than Halo 3 even if I had more matches in Halo 3 but why are you bringing Halo 3 in the mix here?

What I said was after playing Halo 4. Halo Reach is the better game. Nothing to do with Halo 3 or how long I played it for. You are talking to someone that liked Reach in this forum. I didn't join the bandwagon hate train that everyone else did.

Edit: lol the guy above me even said you were quite the fellow.

Reasons why it fails:

-story pacing
-cliche deaths/death contest
-plot. Playing as a Spartan III was even worse than it could have been since it's set during a losing battle/surprise invasion (Reach was doomed to fall) and Bungie really wanted to show it (what I learned from Reach: human vehicles are fragile, frags are nukes, assault rifles take half a clip to kill a Grunt, humanity's best blew themselves up prior to the Covenant attack)
-Skirmishers, Brutes, Jackals, Hunters. They are not interesting. They can be frustrating, annoying, and deterrents to playing this abomination

-rehashed Firefight style encounters. One encounter in particular, sending in an army of Generals on Lone Wolf (rather than the more canonically consistent Zealots) was pretty pointless since I could easily do that in Firefight. Offering Zealots would have been more worthwhile since they don't appear in Firefight and since it makes sense that the Field Marshal wouldn't just bring 5 of his elite warriors since he's clearly scum.

Also, I hate Defend objectives. It's not really defending when you can lose Jun, your allies, and civilians and not get punished for it. Just like how the fireteams are negligible to AI behavior (they don't always stick with you).

Oh and let's not forget how killing a civilian has the game send invisible lighting bolts which strike you on the spot. It'd have been more interesting if the surviving marines on Exodus became invincible, completely ignored the Covies, and aggressively pursued you.

And goddamn I hate on-rails shooting. Nothing else makes me feel more vulnerable. I'd rather march through all those encounters than ride in a Falcon.
