Not Enjoying Anniversary gametypes, but Good job 343

I might look like some unexperienced forum and halo user, but I’ve been observing these forums for a while now, just never post.

There are way too many flaws in these anniversary gametypes.

  • Jump height is just weird, and inconsistend. Increase gravity just a bit.

-Spawns on Prisoner are all clustered on the red side. I got a Sharpshooter without really trying, by just sitting by blue Sniper Spawn with the Sniper.

-Blue team on Headlong (Note, not breakneck) already has the advantage from the start. They get a Gauss hog, while red team gets a Banshee. Yes, a banshee can be very overpowered, but it is still no match versus an average Gauss gunner. Two-Shot Kill with incredible accuracy? Sorry, but the Banshee is destroyed after thirty seconds every game.

-What I notive about splattering is that it is so much harder to splatter in this gametype. And if you actually get a splatter, the vibration of the controller feels weird.

-The Rocket hog on Timberland was on Timberland on PC. Halo CE had a different hog, that shot three rockets in a magazine, then had to relead. Each rocket was one hit kill. The Rocket hog is a sorry excuse that flips over more than it kills.

Other than all the above, I love the new maps and the Campaign obviously is the campaign of the decade. Good job for this more-than-solid piece of work!

  • Every map always has a hint of nostalgia, which was exactly what I wanted.

Thank you everyone who actually read this entire post.

Nice post!I agree with most of it.
Again, I’d like to say god job 343!You know what it is, people never happy:).
And the Anniv playlist , or better MM in general, deserves a tweak.

Thanks! I tried to give constructive criticism, but without hating the game, while also not leaning towars being a Halo fanboy, even though I am a fan of Halo. I wish more people could see this topic.

only if i had the code to the CEA map pack’s,do you know where i can download 1 at/ or if you guys know any body that needs a 2 day gold card (not-used)i will give them that if they let me download they’re’s from the profile. And 2 day card isn’t much but its all i have. and plzz don’t think im going to hack you cause im to limited i sometimes forget how to spell my name.

The current Rocket Hog is easily one of the best vehicles in Reach. Sure, it does not kill in one hit like it used to, but it’s a lot more useful and does its job better than the CE PC version. I’m glad it’s on the map.

But, if they are trying to make the anniversary versions stick to the original, then they would not have that vehicle on the map.
