Do I need to say more? Not only have you gutted reach, not only have you removed map voting, not only have you dropped commendations, not only have you removed ranking up via campaign and on top of everything, you added a pointless, redundant token system (we don’t have a choice to unlock the gear we want every time we get a token, so why add a rank up system that forces you to spend tokens when we can’t pick what we want?)… you’ve effectively cut so much soul out of reach that we basically have a shell of what made reach fun. You were able to port all our uploaded content (maps, game variants) but you couldn’t give us stuff we unlocked from the 360 version? And since you “couldn’t” why make it such a slog to rank up AGAIN when this novelty will wear off faster than you think? I have so many issues with this port that it almost wasn’t worth it.
but to the point… why didn’t you include score attack? Some of us enjoyed playing solo, working on commendations & not having to deal with idle idiots in 4 player firefight, or worse… the ones who steal all your kills when they see you going for a kill first. It was a nice mode to use to rank up on our own terms, without bs from other ppl. You could’ve easily added that menu in the matchmaking menu under firefight, but you thought “let’s not include it”? What are you ppl at 343 even thinking? This is no joke! This game has so many bugs and obviously needed more insider testing, but you release it without most features that made it great? How is it you thought that PvP was free for ppl who owned the MCC, but you charged for firefight and the campaign… most of that you can’t earn xp playing! The campaign was worth replaying in the 360 version due to commendations and xp (credits), but you’ve added 2 firefight menus, matchmaking and custom… only one allows ranking up. Didn’t ANYONE think about how dumb it is that you’re charging for the stuff that ppl will hardly replay now due to leaving out the ability to rank up?
if you guys are still making these bone headed mistakes, I seriously worry about infinite (honestly, the community has been worrying since 4, but that doesn’t seem to phase you apparently). I just don’t understand your thought process! It’s aggravating that you have the community in the palm of your hand then you squander the chance to win us over by making these dumb decisions.
I better see score attack added (under matchmaking that allows solo play and xp gains) and some form of campaign xp or this game will lose ALL the good will you built up over the last year, with this husk of a game called reach.
