Reach Update. Massive or Tiny

So as of the teaser last night, we know 3 things about Memories of Reach. First, all the Noble team armor sets are coming. Secondly, we have what appears to be a torque remix coming too. And Lastly, as everyone and their grandmother knows, Classic Infection is returning. Now, im going to assume that this update will be comparable to the hammer storm update, as that was the last update with new major game types released. Therefore, if we compare what has been revealed for Mem of Reach to what was release with hammer storm, there is likely decent amount of announced content left. Im assuming there will be at least one new weapon or vehicle (Likely the falcon) but since we don’t have anymore weapons without variants after Ghosts of Meridian, im assuming that any weapons/vehicles introduced will be new to the game, or a variant of another req added in the same update( i.e. a falcon with 2 varients) Like a lot of you, im hoping for a lot from this update, and since there are currents reqs with no variants (besides the phaeton) it is entirely possible that we could get a lot of new content instead. However, it is also possible that, because they cant just add reqs for existing weapons, that they just wont add as many playable reqs( which would suck). So what are your thoughts on the next update? Do you think it will be huge or at least a big as HS. or do you think they’ll skimp out on content because they cant just edit existing weapons for reqs. Share your thoughts!

I can’t wait for the Emile’s armor set.

Well concidering the Ghosts of Meridian Sneak Peak featured an armour set that never actually made it in to the actual update, I’m taking everything I saw in the Reach Sneak Peak with a huge boulder of salt.

Definitely! That was the armor I when I played reach( Blue visor with blue bungie flames too :slight_smile: ). Love that helmet.

Trying not to get too hyped just to be let down. The Noble team armor and Infection mode will hopefully be good though!

I forgot about that Armor set!!! Along with the Sharktooth Assault Rifle and Pistol skins.

I hope the reach update is as large as reach itself. We need maps that really get the feel of reach and bring back the memories. Zelot would fit in arena game play perfectly. I would like to see these maps in. Even if its player created. Then we have the full hr noble team armour. I would like to see haunted make a release. That’s a sweet helment I think. Then there will be the falcon cause that’s what people have been asking for. Maybe a few weapons like the AR, needle rifle, plasma rifle ect. And of course we will get a few things like stances, emblems, an assasination or two that are reach related.
I would like all this. My expectations may be very high.
I’m just disappointed to see a torque remix. (It looks very nice) I just don’t agree with remix maps unless they are from old games and not already in h5 playlists.

Considering Infecfion, a new map and 4 armor sets are the “preview” Id say this is going to be absolutely massive

the skins were pert of the promotional req pack from a while back. all 14 of the skins from that pack will probably show up in the req system down the line. not sure what happened to that armour though.

I hope it’s the largest of the all. Still love reach.

Forge world is coming. We just do not know if it is in this update or the last one

I could care less about anything else. Just HYPE FOR INFECTION!!! HYPE TRAIN

I think it will be pretty sweet :slight_smile:

If Haunted were to be in the game in req packs, everyone will be outraged that you don’t have to earn it or something.
And even if people have to earn it, others with either be like:
A) “That guy probably boosted/farmed to get that”
or
B) “It should not have even been added to the game, 343 are unaware of the Inheritor grind of Reach - it should not be here!”

That being said, it would be cool to have something like the Haunted Helmet (or another cool unique helmet) as a reward for reaching SR 152. They sure would deserve it.

That makes me feel a little better. I am guessing you can’t spill any of the beans?

I hope they make the falcon function as more of a transport, keeping the two mounted turrets in the back and “unlocking” the two other seats. It wouldn’t be useful outside of warzone and customs, but it would give it a unique role.

Oh wow, first time I’ve seen anyone from 343 on these forums, looks like a good sign for this update.

Please 343 there has to be more

I think it’ll be a rly good update especially because I’m one of the people who have been dying for infection but some people act like this update is going to be the second coming of Christ and that it’ll be a whole new game. I think we should be excited for the update but not get our expectations to high.
