Honestly 343 industries, if you want Halo: Reach and Halo 4 to be successful, listen to the people that take the game seriously. Do not make the game noob friendly, make it involve skill! You quit playing Halo: Reach or Halo 4 (when it comes out) for a week? Well looks like you’re gonna have to warm back up again, because this game takes skill to play. Armour lock is a joke. Honestly I have no idea why it is still in the game. Yeah big deal the 5,000 11 year old kids will quit playing Halo but imagine how many fans you would gain! 30 maybe even 50,000 fans! Remember when you added No Bloom to Custom Games and MLG only?? CUSTOM GAMES and MLG ONLY! And how many fans did you gain? I remember it being a Friday night, looking at how many people were online, and getting sad and disappointed because there would only be 60,000 and under people online. Then boom, No Bloom was BARELY added into the game. And there was a TU playlist. 130,000 people online regularly.
So basically to some this reply up:
-listen to the people that take the game seriously more than anything
-REMOVE armour lock either completely or in all but one or two gametypes
-PAY ATTENTION to MLG and Arena fan wants
-use logic to increase “funability” and fans
-listen to the WHOLE community, not just the minority of fans who speak for themselves
(do not hide this reply. nothing but constructive criticism did I say)
i just like the update.
there are only two things i don´t like:
sword block removed (i think i can´t change that^^)
anniversary squad removed ← i just don´t understand -.-.
but all in all the update is great and (although i´m one of those persons who didn´t liked tu in the past) i now play tu because it feels and works good.
thanks 343 for the changes, which HAD to be done (i mean the way to overpowered melee).
It is true, its gone, We will now endure a vast amount of double melees.
I loved squad slayer i was 1% onyx according to HTR, i had my 50 and ranked 38, Man i loved squad slayer it had the least forge maps and mostly dmr starts with 85% bloom, so perfect!.
Who wanted these changes? Are they pulling a bungie and doing things without the community wanting them?
Evade is gone in spartans but they kept armour lock and camo? WHY??? Please bring squad slayer back!!! Super slayer has aweful forge maps and elite slayer its so bad so so bad
Guys chill out. Reach started terrible and hasn’t gotten much better.
For starters there’s too many slayer playlists, and too many different gametype settings.
Make everything ZB, 110 speed, 110 jump, sprint, evade and jet pack only abilities.
Put all slayer playlists together, have an objective type, 2v2, multiteam 6 teams of 2, infection, big team, FFA.
Leave MLG, action sack and grifball where they are.
If this happens, Reach will become playable again, and many players will return. Until then many, myself included, will choose to play other FPS’s.
Remove the Jetpack from Double Team and/or other small team based playlists.
It’s a map breaker, they fly above you they have a perfect shot at your head, and you have a perfect shot at their feet. You guys removed evade from doubles (a long time ago) which only made “Jetpackers” even more annoying then they were before.
Maybe Double Team should be a “Sprint Only” playlist.
Anywhom, I posted my other concerns in the appropriate posts, I hope you take consideration on some of my suggestions ('specially in the bleed-through thread).
I think its safe to say we all look forward to halo 4, and we are patiently waiting while we still play this not so great halo game. But as players some of us learn to adapt and some don’t. I personally thought 75% damage on melee’s was a better idea. But if your gana have one armor ability, you might as well have all of them, unless its just sprint. Sprint is sort of the “Natural” thing to have, But its 2550 a.d. or whatever so maybe all of it will be natural then??

> And now, no Squad Slayer… the return of the cursed Armor lock and now “DLC squad slayer”…

> Doesn’t this smell like “money milking”… it does to me… WHY in the world take away somthing we all liked !/?%
Well you’re a few months late but I guess better late than never?
And as for the last part, short answer is, not everyone liked it.
