I AM NOT A TROLL. DON’T POST IF YOU AREN’T CONTRIBUTING. IF YOU LIKE THE BETA AND THINK IT IS PERFECT START YOUR OWN THREAD. I DON’T LIKE IT AND IT THINK IT NEEDS VAST IMPROVEMENTS.
I have been a loyal halo fan since the beginning. I have been hoping for a title update for a long time. But, 343 just changed alot of settings without taking the balance aspect into consideration. Default reach was terrible but the title update version was literally “THE WORST GAMING EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE”. It seemed as if leaving cover was suicide. Also, corner camping with pistols is an unbeatable tactic. The lengthy duels that the halo franchise presents are non existent. Kill times needed to be faster but this was overboard. I literally was so mad after playing this update I was shaking. It was that bad. I hope 343 fixes this because what I played was awful. I’m losing my faith in the halo franchise. It felt like they tossed a bunch of changes out there without thinking of the consequences. Hopefully alot more changes will occur. If not I don’t think I will buy HALO CE. I can’t handle another halo disappointment
What do you think can make title update better? Here are my ideas. Post yours.
Make movement speed quicker. I CAN NOT dodge bullets. CAN NOT. Allow me to strafe please.
Make jump height higher. I CAN NOT jump over rockets or nades.
Make nades weaker and give people 1 nade. Go play halo 3 and you won’t even hurt people with the nades that kill people on Reach.
Pistol needs to be 5 shot or it needs to shoot slower…Significantly slower. Possibly the clips could be smaller. That way spamming will hurt you. 5. Decrease the distance on the DMR. The BR was difficult to shoot across a huge map with. The DMR has limitless range and is deadly accurate from long range. Force players to fight at closer ranges.
Finally someone who agrees! Im not happy with the TU either, especially the zero bloom. Before, bloom made people have to use skill and patience to pace their shots. Now, whoever is the fastest trigger spammer always wins, especially if they see you first. No skill is involved anymore. Grenades need to be nerfed because of the new damage bleed system, and precision weapons need a slower RoF with reduced bloom considering the Reach movement speed and jump height. Im mostly fine with everything else. Other than grenades, damage bleeds works great, Im glad they nerfed Armorlock and Active Camo, no sword blocking returns thes word to its power weapon status, and reduced bloom feels more like classic Halo without turning it into a trigger spamming contest.
Please 343, reduce RoF with Zero Bloom and nerf grenades with the damage bleed!
Magnum is not so overpowered, the deal is that is 4 shot thanks to the Bullet Bleed-Through, also NR, its 6-Perfect-Shot now, the problems are movement settings, bloom settings (right now both 0 & 85 sucks for competitive gaming) and the Bullet Bleed-Through (Melee Bleed-Through is all right at least)
No bloom is a good thing. But, spartans are literally sitting targets. Bloom is the only thing that made people miss before. Without it nobody is going to miss spartans moving at the pace of a dying turtle.
The pistol needs to shoot slower. It shoots way faster than the pistol on older halo games. Making guns shoot slower is better than bloom. It makes people pace shots and their is no randomness. But once again MOVEMENT SPEED is the main issue here that people seem to ignore.
it sounds like you would love my new bloomless classic settings in my fileshare its as close as you can possibly get to default Halo 3 settings same kill time, melee time, health/shields reg time, and even Halo 3 frags =] I even got a stopwatch and timed every thing run speed jump hieght everything also pistol is 5 shot head shot with my settings try it out and tell me what you think

3 shot pistol is horrible for matchmaking. Sure, maybe it was great in CE when you were only facing your friends. But when 100,000 people are using the damn thing it’s nothing but frustration and imbalance. I swear to God it better be only in the classic gametypes that come out when CEA ships.
Grenades seem even worse now. 1 shot to the head from a pistol and 6 grenades flying towards you = no possible chance of survival. I don’t understand why 343 would have ignored all of the complaints about grenades. They were the 3rd most complained about thing behind Bloom and Armor Lock. But instead they changed Active Camo which didn’t even need tweaking? Wtf?!
Yes, strafing is now impossible. Especially in zero bloom. Ugh. I thought this was going to be amazing, and really it’s not much better than vanilla Reach. The fun of this game is really getting to be outweighed by frustration.

I more than likely would like it considering halo 3 is my favorite halo title as far as multiplayer goes. I probably I will try it out. How can 343 say they are trying to make classic settings and not change movement and jump height? Slow down movement on halo 3 and nobody misses with the DMR. I have never ever been proud of a sniper headshot on Reach. Why is this?..It doesn’t take skill and it doesn’t have the wow did I just do that factor.
My biggest problem is that it does not feel anything like classic Halo, frankly even less so than vanilla Reach. At least in vanilla Reach strafing still has a tiny bit of value, and if you are incredibly skilled you can win a 2v1, but in the TU beta, if two guys are shooting at you, you will never, ever, win.
Jesus Christ more people like you dont deserve to play Halo. All you guys do is want, want, and want. We got the TU, but oh, thats not enough. Halo Reach is considerably better with the TU then without. Please find a dark place and chain yourself there.
Atleast 343 is helping unlike Bungie. So please stop crying.

People like me want halo to be the best game it can possibly be. If you have any analytical skills at all you would know this beta needs changes. I was happy with halo 1, 2 , and 3. I never went to the forums. This game has been a disaster from the start. I’m trying to make the game better. I’m tired of critical people being called trolls. I’m trying to help the game
The beta is like call of duty in the aspect that whoever sees who first wins. Why is that offensive to you? I’m tired of the posters who cry troll when anyone tries to criticize a gaming company. If you don’t want to contribute to making the beta better get off the post. It is easy as that

That is false because I turn on people ALL THE TIME! It’s who is behind the controller that is killing you so fast. NOT THE GAMEPLAY!

When did I say troll? No, I said its not who ever sees who first wins, no, its not even close to that. In CoD, everyone runs around with the Famas, In Halo, its usually DMR vs. AR and its whoever aims at the head or gets the most shots out before getting killed.
Most of my kills come from stupid people who think the best gun is the AR, so they come at me spraying. Yet, with 5 headshots, he is dead.
