The primary foucus of these forums has devolved into bashing the game that they represent but with the fate of Reach looming just around the corner I want to know what are the things about the game that people actually liked.

To start I liked the vehicle sandbox in Reach better than in previous titles. Also I thought the physics engine was much more fun to mess with in Reach than in previous games.

The difference being that bungie refused to see (or fix) any of those bad points ... kinda lame when you look at what other studios do (and often with less money).

2 Plasma grenades in BTB Heavies and make your way to that Scorpion that is destroying your team and put an end to it.

I don't know, maybe Microsoft didn't allow them to so as 343i could come along and save the day with their TU, meaning people will have more confidence in them and then Halo 4 will accumulate more sales. Alternatively, they might not have been able to because they where handing everything over to 343i. Why would Bungie not want to fix their 'swan song?'

I don't really know, but I'm not going to persecute Bungie for it as it might not be as clean cut as people think.

I liked the ending of Halo Reach, but that's about it.

it introduced me to the Halo world, i love everything about it, but what really made it the best was extremely detailed STATS!!!

Player = pathetic strafe, jump height, slow melee, slow reloading, very slow, low health, annoying sprint breathing sounds, very bulky appearance
Noble Team = LOL
Allies = non-existent
Enemies = Elites: uninteresting, watered down Halo 2 Elites, Jackals: uninteresting moving shields, Grunts: slow paced headshot galore with a new surprise animation and more combat oriented kamikaze (as a result, we can't have kamikaze trains anymore :(), Skirmishers: Ranged Form replacements, Brutes: absolutely garbage, Engineers: unresponsive

Weapons = 1/10 CE damage, 0% versatile, crutches, excess Bloom, sidearms still don't feel like a sidearm (slow animations compared to Halo 4 sidearms)
Vehicles = shoddy, inferior (Revenant lacks traction, Ghost lacks firepower, Wraith lacks turning speed and maneuverability, Scorpion controls and aiming, Hog flips too easily), and OP (Wraith autoaim, Banshee fuel rod and tricks)
Physics = unstable (launching Revenants, launching Wraiths, launching AI into the sky), inferior (just look at CE and Halo 2: easy clipping, BAW, bumping, doing levels without jumping, Sputnik skull, T2T)

I'm disinterested in Reach but I don't hate on it with long rants anymore. This post is just an appetizer.

There is one thing I do like about Reach though.

Checkpoints: unlike Halo 2 and Halo 3 in which 99% of checkpoints die off after 8 seconds, some cps can be delayed indefinitely just like in CE. Also, there are timed checkpoints (visiting a spot repeatedly can yield a checkpoint). Setups are so much more convenient as a result, though most work (in my case) is limited to weapon stockpiling and moving supply cases compared to the glorious art of AI/vehicle collecting in CE and Halo 2.

There are plenty of bash reach threads. This is supposed to be a thread about what you like.

I know you probably wont read this but im turning 18 soon and i want to become a walrus. I know there's a million people out there just like me, but i promise you im different. On December 14th, I'm moving to Antartica; home to some of the greatest walruses to have ever lived. I've already cut off my arms, and now slide on my stomach everywhere i go as training. I may not be a walrus yet, but i promise you if you give me a chance and the support i need, i will become the greatest walrus ever.

When we joined The Covenant we took a oath; according to our station all without exception. On the blood of our fathers on the blood of our sons we swore to uphold that oath even to our dying breath.

I wish you luck. How did you type this?

You got stuck by FalconStickr

I loved the addition of visual bloom. I like the Sprint ability a lot and the medals look so cool in this game. The best addition was the assassination animations. All in all it is a great game and one of the best Bungie kicked out.
