Ok yes Halo: Reach did have a lot of things wrong with it, but Bungie was heading in the right direction. The things that they could have fixed to make the game probably the best Halo Game yet would be…
Take out BLOOM!!! 2. Make a Slayer Pro Playlist for Matchmaking! 3. Improve a bunch of maps… Countdown, Boneyard, Uncaged, etc… 4. Put some MLG maps in Team Slayer and other playlists. 5. They should have listened to the community and gotten rid of some really bad maps that the community complained about and well a couple other things, but this is where my comment ends.
I agree that Halo Reach was a great game, but I don’t think that some of your points would have made it better really. I think that bloom made the game challenging so players wouldn’t snipe other players across the map easily. What they should have done is eliminated armor lock or shortened it’s usage time.
MLG V7 was way better than everything in Halo 2, they are the second best settings right after Halo CE out of every Halo game.
Unfortunately default Reach was crap.
The main problem was the campaign. It started great and by the time you finished it you felt like it had been worthwhile, but during it it’s just boring.

Reach is a good game. But every game has flaws and the bloom is there so players can’t spam you to death from across the map. You actually have to pay attention to what your doing.
For me I love.
-Halo Combat Evolved
-Halo CE Anniversary
-Halo 2
-Halo 3
-halo 3:ODST
-Halo Reach
-Halo Wars
-Halo 4
I thank those are the best games ever made. But that’s just me.
Bloom made the game more fun because it increased the gun skill gap making it less reliant on console aiming (which is frustrating as thumb sticks are annoyingly imprecise) and more reliant on timing, which is not limited by the console.
It’s in team slayer, and comes up regularly. Reach’s population is on the decline and the long search times caused by splitting the playlist would be detrimental.
All the maps that played badly at lower skill levels seemed fine when I was at my height of Reach ability (listed in top 10% of team slayer players (about 40 true skill) by Halo tracker). i.e. the maps didn’t play well at all skill levels but were fine at a high level.
More map variety is always welcome.
see my answer to 3.
Personally Reach is my favourite Halo game for multiplayer because it is slower and more complicated, requiring more thought and varied tactics.
Reach was a great different experience. I think Halo 3 was better, but this game had so much to offer especially in the custom gaming area. The bloom was actually something I liked, it made out-DMR-ing even better.
Now that i do think about it, they shouldn’t have removed bloom completely but like 343 did, made the bloom smaller. I have played all of the Halo games, yes halo 2 and 3 were definitely great halo games and the 2 best in the series, but reach was the beginning of a new multiplayer, if bungie would have made Halo 4, im sure they would have gotten it right, unlike 343.

I don’t understand the problem with armor lock. The usage time is short. If you are using it, it makes you rely on teamwork. If it is being used on you, it makes you wait and take cover. I can understand why it can be annoying, not as annoying as yoinks, with the whole “it takes away your kill thing” but I don’t see it as a problem.
Reach is on all fronts the Halo game i have played most over LIVE then any
