I have seriously gotten sick of Reach. And gotten sick of Halo’s constant progression in a downward spiral since 2007. I am praying on Halo 4, but honestly, just watch a few videos of Walshy playing Halo 2, and you will INSTANTLY realize just how much better the game was.
Armour Abilities accomplish little more than to cause frustration in every single match, and the kill times are so brutally slow, heck you can’t even watch MLG and be entertained anymore because combat has almost no variety, no fancy gameplay moves, no crazy “I think I can” moments that end in cheers and amazement, and the kills happen alot less often. And so I can’t even play Reach MLG, just Classic.
I guess what I’m saying is “Halo Reach sucks, but Team Classic is actually pretty awesome.”
Then go back to HALO 3…that easy.
> Then go back to HALO 3…that easy.
It is still easy to find matchs in ranked games. why play something if you don’t like it? I will never understand this.
I just got back into playing reach multi and I frankly dont know what you mean by slow gameplay…this game is just as furious as it always has been, especially with the title update.
I have “wow” moments each time I play and enjoy the games pace as theres something gratifying with being able to train your BMR on someone while the bullets are flying all around you and still score that kill.

kay. i still have fun playing reach. AA’s add variety. and a fresh expirence. the TU settings were absolutly horrible. we NEED to keep bloom on dmr and pistol. just modify it. the only good thing that came from the TU was the fair version of AL.
yes we all know how great halo 2 was. But you know what? That feeling is gone. you can’t “re capture” that same feeling ever again. In all honestly if we were given halo 2 right now. better graphics maybe a new gun or to and some new maps. everyone would get bored within a MONTH.
now why does this sound familar? because thats what COD is. you know how they keep there people entirtained? more new maps. thats it. just enough to get you along to the next POS they push out next year. HALO should not and will not ever be like that. so pull your head out of your -Yoink- and get the -Yoink- over it.

That’s because people’ll go “Hurr durr, where’s my crutch? This game is rubbish. Durr.”

As if razorstorms’s response wasnt dumb…
Then play Halo 3 or get XBC and play Halo 2 again. Reach doesn’t suck, its a good game, and you have to accept it or stay with Halo 3. I will agree that Halo 2 is superior to all others, but not because of your reasons.

true that man. Classic is really good. I played last night and all the anniversary matches I had were a breeze. Total domination, beat everyone with my magnum, and no bs. Then I go into team slayer and it’s afk teammates, quitters, and really bad teammates who can’t even get a kill. There were like 8000+ players in TS and I couldn’t find a single good player really. I tried to play some Super Slayer but barely any players in that at night =(
Reach is pretty unplayable outside of the classic playlist. I feel like a 1 player team in any other playlist. The AA’s don’t bother me as much as just the total incompetent teammates I constantly get. I can go +15 and still lose a match because of 1 afk teammate (or teammate who starts playing then goes afk halfway through the match) and another who quit because they don’t like DMR’s lol
To all the ppl that will try and quote me about halo 3: yes I do play halo 3 … like all the time so don’t give me the herp derp go play halo 3. I do, I just like to see how bad reach still is compared to the superior Halo 3. I barely see any afk or quitter teammates in halo 3 compared to Halo Reach.

Have you seen the new MLG settings with Zero Bloom/No Sprint? That gameplay is leaps and bounds ahead of what the old MLG Reach settings were. There are still a few Jetpacks, but far less than normal Reach. Only GoldPro rivals the MLG v7 settings due to the 4sk DMR and faster weapon spawning.
I’ll agree however that Anniversary Classic is a great experience, though it still has its faults (thinking about the jump height mainly). If a second Classic playlist is considered with remade maps and GoldPro settings, I’d be hooked. Normal Halo: Reach, even with the TU, is still too slow and too many gimmicks.
I would probably only play Classic if there were more maps. Honestly, what ever happened to those forged remakes of maps like Midship and Lockout that were in Team Classic before Anniversary came out? They should re-implement those.
To answer some questions:
“Play Halo 3”
I do still play Halo 3, though I honestly didn’t like it much either. Team Classic is far better then Halo 3. I am actually playing Halo 3 right now though.
“Where is Team Classic?”
I’m talking about Anniversary Team Slayer, in the Anniversary playlist menu.
“What about MLG Zero Bloom/No Sprint”
That’s actually what I was talking about. I was watching Instinct play Status Quo right after watching 2 Halo 2 MLG game and I was just BORED watching it, it was so slow, so little action happened, there were no awesome maneuvers. Everyone just played your basic “setup, strafe, grenade” every single confrontation. It sucks.
“Play Halo 2 on XBC or Vista”
If there were ever a game going on XBC I would, but it’s fallen almost dead nowadays, and Vista usually has 2 servers running. And BOTH are just too laggy.
“If they remade Halo 2 we’d all get bored”
And I don’t want a Halo 2 remake. What I want is for them to look back at what worked, and what didn’t, and fix where they went wrong along the way. They should start from Halo 2, and innovate their game from there ignoring everything Halo 3 and Reach brought to the table. Do something new and different, but keep the core that existed in 2004.
