Nobody likes an unbalanced game, Reach was proof of that. Not even my causal friends liked Reach because of how unbalanced it was.
Adding Random stuff doesn’t make the game fun either in my opinion.
My question is wouldn’t everyone rather have a balanced game? that way competative players and casual players can be happy?
Making things unbalanced makes thing UNFAIR and just makes the overall gameplay not fun to PLAY.
Notice how some of the greatest shooters out there are popular because of how well balanced they are.
Anyone else agree?
Agree totally. But are you saying Halo 4 is unbalanced and non-competitive?
Considering we don’t have much info yet, I’m not gritting my teeth yet.
Also, when Reach came out, it went into transition to 343 almost immediately. The transition took months and months. During that time, neither side could effectively work on something as important as a title update. With only one studio controlling Halo 4, I’m confident balance issues would be fixed a lot more quickly.

I’m not saying Halo 4 will be unbalanced…but…see through walls …
I don’t really enjoy sitting back and watching one of my favourite series die due to mainstream media.
IMO Halo 3 is MORE unbalanced than Reach. I’ve had alot of times where i kill a BUNCH of
people with duel-wield plasma rifle and SMG.
All of reaches weapons have a weakness, the ONLY thing unbalanced with reach is armor lock
You people dont make any sense at all. You all just want to pick on reach and say it was
a big failure and bungie sucks.
You just wait till Halo 4 comes out, everyone will hate it and say its unbalanced.
It sounds really stupid when you say “Reach is unbalanced” because you have no proof of
that at all. THE GAME WORKS PERFECTLY FINE. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT.
The ONLY problem you guys have with the game is because it’s different from the other
Halos, it’s not as classic. And you guys like classic. Halo 4 will be NO WHERE near
classic.
But Halo Reach works perfectly, you guys just have bad attitudes.

Pretty much every load out is unbalanced in Reach bud evade/sprint/armour lock/camo
The only balanced armour ability was jet pack and even that was a little bit ridiculous how you can get top control by pressing a button. Kinda ruins map layout.
Duel weilding in Halo 3 was rarely seen compared to Halo 2. On each map there was only 1 dual weild pickup.
Even if you’re duel weilding it’s not like you can kill somebody 8 ft in front of you. You had to at least move around to get kills while duel weilding.
I personally dislike Reach game-play, but I dont think you understand what balance means. Reach is balanced… its just not fun to play. Both team’s have equal opportunity to start with the same loadouts, and have the same opportunity as a team to coordinate with those abilities and vie for position to acquire power weapons & power map locations. Reach is balanced.

How is sprint and evade unbalanced? I can understand AL/AC/JP but nobody even uses
those. Just having a BR in your hand in Halo 3 made you feel like a god.

Armour abilities=rock paper scissors=unbalanced/random/NOT FUN
sorry to say but CoD is wrecking Halo. At least it’s balanced and still has its fans.
waat?

It’s not like you’re a psychic and can x-ray any wall you pass. I’m sure you’ll feel better about it when more info is released.

Obviously you didn’t know how to go up against someone with a br…yes you have to rely on them to miss a shot at mid range to win an ar/br fight…but hey you spawn with the ar and the br was a pickup.

I know how to kill someone with a BR, but when i have it its torture to the other team.
Im not saying Halo 3 was bad, it’s just as unbalance as reach was.

Balance is about having the same opportunity as your opponent to achieve the same results. Reach is balance.
Please dont misunderstand - I dislike what jetpack, armor lock, and invisibility brought to the game. I dislike how combat actually played out.

If Halo 4 has Spartan 4’s in multiplayer…that means they’ll move faster/jump higher/take grenades like a champ and pretty much be more badass, i can’t wait.
