STOP HATING ON REACH!

Games Other Halo
1

REACH WAS A GOOD FRICKEN GAME YOU’RE ALL JUMPING ON THE -Yoinking!- BANGWAGON AND SAYING REACH SUCKS, THERE WAS 2 PROBLEMS, BLOOM AND ARMOUR LOCK, BOTH OF WHICH HAVE BEEN NERFED AND ARE MINOR DETAILS IN THE GAME.

IF YOU KEEP REFERING HALO 4 AS BEING REACH 2, THEN THANKS BECAUSE REACH WAS A DAM GOOD GAME.

TRY AND SAY A BAD WORD ABOUT IT GO ON I DARE YOU, BUT YOU’RE NOT ALLOWED TO MENTION ANY ARMOUR ABILITY OR BLOOM.

EXACTLY NOTHING, 25% OF REACH’S GAMETYPES PLAYED NO HOST TO THE ARMOUR ABILITIES AND 343 NERFED BLOOM AGES AGO, SO FOR EVERYONE COMPLAINING GO PLAY TEAM CLASSIC OR SOMETHING THATS WHAT IT’S FOR!

Ps i know this should prob be in the reach thread but this must be heard i’m sick and tired of people putting down reach when it was an amazingly made game!

Laughable vehicle physics
Tedious forge glitches
Reduced strafe acceleration
Huge hitboxes
Grenade physics

…Shall I continue?

I didn’t like loadouts
I didn’t like armor abilities
and I didn’t like how there was no 1-50

All of Arena, and grenades just need a longer fuse time. I overall enjoyed reach, and now sit 3.4m away from reaching Inheritor. All about friend gameplay now though, randoms just are AMAZING on reach -_-

Huge grande explosion radius
too easy to snipe
no 1-50 (arena is garbage)
Linear rank up system

6

3/10

For CAPS I deducted 4.

I can for you.

  • Slow movement
  • poor jump height
  • unbalanced maps
  • no duel-wielding
  • lack of weapon variety
  • lack of ranked playlists
  • lack of classic playlists
  • playlists flooded w/ Forge maps

I can keep going as well.

Grenades nerfed on week one.

Strafe acceleration? we don’t give a -Yoink- we just want to run and gun.

Huge hitboxes!?!? i think not! if anything they were to small, the amount of times i fire a rocket through the middle of someones legs and through the side of the falcon is ridiculous!

Grenade physics? lol, it’s halo 3 grenade physics with a better animation

Oh good, you finally discovered that your caps lock was on when you wrote the post script. Seriously though, the people here have posted more than enough reasons.

Halo Reach was a disgrace. The worst halo game to date, Over the ten year period bungie made made three world Class games Halo 1, 2 & 3. But then came reach, Where do I start. The game is broken beyond repair. Everything even the very best of Halo: reach had problems, look at Forgeworld Grey, Grey and More grey, Alot of the options for custom game were removed destroying custom games. Which was one of the best parts of Halo 3.

Next the Flawed matchmaking, for months we had to put up with infection being in the lone wolf playlist and because of the crap voting system, you either Played infection over and over and not at all. When infection finnaly got it’s on playlist, it was broken as crap. Camping spots were EVERYWHERE and bungie did nothing.

The maps, how crap were they. Firstly, Half of the maps where staight out of forgeworld, I mean a ten year old could of made better maps. The rest where ripped out of campaign, and when we spent even more money for map packs. They were broken too. Anchor 9 was a joke, until they fixed it a YEAR later.

The ranking system, or lack of was also bad. They fact that you could just play play and play and get to top rank was a disgrace. I know Halo 3 ranking system wasn’t perfect but atleast you leveled up by skill and winning, rather than killing grunts in broken firefight.

I could go on but it’s just too much, and like I said Reach is broken beyond repair. The worst thing is that 343 is taking some of these broken features and putting it into halo 4, you just couldn’t make it up.

I swear, this forum is going to give me a permanent desk print on my face.

Poor jump height, the halo reach spartans jumped 2% lower than the halo 3 spartans

Unbalanced maps, 75% of the maps are remade halo 2 and 1 maps, the rest are community made and hand picked

No duel-wielding, so it’s gone from “copying cod” to a feature halo is lacking lol some people are never happy

lack of ranked playlists, every playlist is ranked.

lack of classic playlists, I agree

Playlists floodede with forge maps, That was a community poll pre-beta on bungie.net, the community WANTED a majority of community made maps in halo reach, blame the community on that one.

Yet again all irrelevant posts

Wrong forum for this. This is for H4 discussion not whether or not you love or hate reach.

All aside, I still like Reach. I still don’t know what they hell they were thinking with a damn jetpack.

Also almost Everything you said here is blatantly incorrect. Seriously your statistics are just flat out lies. Respond how you want I won’t be back to read.

Don’t worry OP, they’re just jealous because Reach was such an undisputed critically acclaimed runaway success that brought the popularity of Call of Duty to its knees.

I hear the next COD is going to have completely random bullet trajectories and a perk that just pauses the game while everyone stares at one indestructible guy. Frankly it’s about time too. Keep up, Activision…

> Poor jump height, the halo reach spartans jumped 2% lower than the halo 3 spartans

[facepalm] More like 25% lower.

> Unbalanced maps, 75% of the maps are remade halo 2 and 1 maps, the rest are community made and hand picked

Newsflash: those maps were built for Halo 2’s gameplay, not Reach’s. They were doomed from the start.

> No duel-wielding, so it’s gone from “copying cod” to a feature halo is lacking lol some people are never happy

I keep getting the feeling like you’ve never played Halo 2 or 3.

> lack of ranked playlists, every playlist is ranked.

As in 1-50 for each playlist. Not your overall rank.

Can’t tell if trolling or just stupid.

> lack of classic playlists, I agree

Success, first correct answer.

> Playlists floodede with forge maps, That was a community poll pre-beta on bungie.net, the community WANTED a majority of community made maps in halo reach, blame the community on that one.

They just wanted Bungie to take advantage of their powerful map-editing tool to enhance the MM experience, but Forge maps shouldn’t be the focus of MM.

> Yet again all irrelevant posts

90% of the community would disagree with you on that.

19

Didn’t care for bloom or leading bullets. I liked armor lock even after the update. People blow things out of proportion. Bungie showed mercy on you people if you really didn’t like armor lock. I’m guessing you guys would of committed suicide at the site of over shields with an on and off switch.

Oh I don’t know, maybe it has something to do with the mediocre Campaign or maybe the un-balanced Multiplayer that has yet to be fixed even to this very day.
