DON'T OVER HYPE THE REACH UPDATE FOR H5!

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

Hello Halo Community. I constantly see people over and over again over hyping too many games and things these days and setting up ridiculous expectations and then go mad if their expectations are not met. You all have the right to be hyped for all the 4 remaining updates scheduled, but please don’t over hype the Reach one. I am sure it will be great, but some shiets in our community will still scream their heads off if they don’t get everything of their imagination.

I have seen people set the bars really high for this update (not everyone!), for instance:

Return of all Reach gametypes, nearly all reach weapons like Emile shotgun, Reach sniper,needle rifle, Reach AR, grenade launcher, reach dmr, many reach armour sets, falcon and invasion together with the return of forge world and a Reach map remake. Think about this for a second, this is too much to work on and to much to perfect in a few months.

Let’s move into the reality for a second and make accurate guesses:

Forge:

We know a forge world successor is in the makes, so it may be released with this update
Reach forge objects, missing from H5
new reach themed items

Req’s:

All of noble team’s amour sets, excluding carters and noble six’s, so that’s Jorge’s, Emile’s, Jun’s (I doubt Kat’s will be featured, since its mediocre)
new armour variants of existing armour
new Reach themed weapon skins
2 new stances
2 assassinations (one of which is a reach assassination)
Return of old Reach weapon like grenade launcher
MAYBE FALCON as the mythic vehicle

Arena:
New Reach themed arena map with new reach weapon on map

Warzone:
Maybe new warzone environment or warzone assault map on reach

Overall this will be a great update to look forward to, but don’t over hype it!

I say let people be excited. No matter what we get or how good it is people will complain about something anyway. Might as well have fun guesstating while we can.

I just want the Falcon so bad.

I agree. When you over hype something you’ll almost never be satisfied with the outcome.

Indeed, anytime the hype train comes it gets really hard to meet those high expectations. With Star Wars I had to stop looking at trailers and stories about it for a few weeks until it got released, just tried to clear my mental pallet. I think it made my experience better.

I do hope they add better armor customization but that might be too much to ask.

Chuga-chuga-chuga…Reach Reach!

It is true that too much hype can cause people to be disappointed in something even if it is good. I am excited for this update since I love Reach, but I will save my hype until I actually see what will come from this update.

I wont overhype it, but I’ll hype it, I played Reach for an unhealthy amount of hours

Most of the stuff people have been asking for is in line with the amount of content from other updates.

  • We’ve seen three updates that added new weapons to the sandbox so something like the grenade launcher or a vehicle like the falcon is not far fetched. - They’re always updating forge, even adding new skyboxes for fans to use and we know a Forge World map was in the works before launch and we know prefabs are coming soon - There’s usually been two-three new armor sets with many being based on previous Halo armor (MK IV, V Alpha, Deciamtor) so bringing back Grenadier, EVA (C), and other armor sets from Halo’s past isn’t far fetched. - Emblems from previous games as well as new others have always been added so classic ones from Reach on top of Reach themed emblems will happen - We got a needle rifle carbine so REQs that function or are based on previous weapons isn’t too far fetched either.

Don’t worry. I will never get hyped anymore by something from 343I. Lesson learned. Muliple times.

This is to true for me as well… But that was my favorite halo so far

I’d love to see a Reach inspired Warzone FireFight Map!!! That would be great!

Falcon mythic? No thanks, I’d actually like to use it in warzone. Rare for transportation falcon, ultra rare for gun version, and oni Falco legendary. No mythic.

Well oathsworn is a mythic and its only 5 reqs so its not like mythic=legendary or high cost

The Generator-Defense mode from the Beta was awesome. But i don’t expect, that it will return.
