Subject: How can Reach's story be better?

I don't hate the campaign or anything, I just wish it was better, like Halo 1's.

Actually have a story and missions that don't involve pressing buttons to end it.

You mean like not being able to control cutscenes?

Have you even completed the campaign? Every mission had you go to an objective and press a button. So boring.

Those parts of the campaign didn't bother me, I just wish the good AI were better...I mean, how do you expect me to like Noble team if they suck?...

If the AI was good then people would camp back and let the AI do all the work. Common sense.

But I'd rather have good AI...I just want to trust them to cover me or something, or at least have buttons to make commands.
Also, I am not against campers.

If you need a friendly AI to help you in Halo, you're bad.

So what if you need AI to help you? A good halo player does not have to be a badass al the time.

If the marines were better but had low health, they would be better distractions but they'd still need your help to take down the enemy. They ought to at least have a firing range increase and more importantly, spend less time shooting at dead bodies (this is still in Halo 4).

I agree that the AI is horrific. Especially Kat and Jun. Lord knows how many times those two have betrayed me. For instance, once while i was assassinating a BOB Ranger, I got sniped. Looking back in theatre mode, it seems that it was Jun that shot me...And don't get me started on the driving skills of the AI. Kat is infamous for killing players, but Emile's driving isn't much better.

As for the camping problem...I think they should make it like Half Life 2, where the important characters have high health, but can die, and if they do, you have to go back to the last checkpoint. That should sort out a couple of the problems.

Ooh, I love those people, the ones who decide to throw everything and the kitchen sink at you, as if an M16 does anything to a T-90. Oh, MLG player with noobtube instead? Congrats! You blew off one of my ablative plates!

Gun, meet Bad Guy.
Bad Guy, this is Gun.

To be honest, I actually preferred Reach's campaign itself to Halo 4, the campaign of H4 was good but I'll have to play it a few more times before the levels start to feel fun to play.

The story of H4 is better than Reach I would say, can't say there is anyway in which Reach's story could be improved however.

Easter Egg Hunter. Apprentice Tricker/Glitcher (learning from Grumpy and Sliding Ghost).

Trying to get Waypoint to update Halo 3 stats in detail like here. Now no one can see that my Halo 3 Spartan no longer looks like my Reach Spartan.

Really want to be a Heroic member or have a title. :/

You're completely correct. Lets not even talk about Kat's driving. Jun's sniping is so inaccurate that it could probably be replicated with an AR. And it seems like every time I do play co-op, Emile speeds across the bridge on Pillar of Autumn only to slow down last second and miss the jump by a mile.

Why Bungie, why would you do this?! - Halo Community

Theres a difference between good AI and invincible AI that shoot walls and sometimes Covies.

You honestly think Kats driving is 'friendly' or helpful ?!?

The AI in reach was just bad, how did bungie go backwards in just about every aspect of this game?

Well of course the AI in Halo is bad. You'd have to been an idiot to think otherwise.

  • 11.25.2012 8:39 AM PDT

the campaign in reach is good and all but there needs to be more connections each mission is basicly its own little story line and at the end it is all of it but they really needed more parts that joined or started the next levels and easter eggs they only had like 4 of those
