Title Update Discussion

He is trolling, but whatever…I am excited for the TU because it is going to improve ALL of Reach, not just one hopper. The same thing happened h2 and h3. Halo 3’s melee system was beyond awful before the patch. If you want to go back to 3 because you like it better, that is certainly your right though. I think even as is, Reach is a much better game than Halo 3 ever was.

But everyone still played Halo 3. No one is doing that with Reach and if Halo 4 sucks then people will be done with Halo altogether.

People played Halo 2 until the day it was closed. Remember those protests, and the people who refused to turn off their xboxes? There were still 500k - 1,000,000 individual users on Halo 2 even a year or two after Halo 3.

That’s different altogether. Halo 2 was a fantastic game and everyone wanted to send it out with a bang.

Back on topic, I think this new TU won’t save Reach.

> At the way gameplay looks like its heading. A new Era of Halo is about to begin. Not just a spike, but a permanent population of competitive players looking to get better and better at the game with more time invested to become better than other players. Just like CE, H2, some what H3. Skill based gameplay with the better man winning is coming back.

This. Team Classic was a cruel joke by Bungie. 343 is fo realz brah. Seriously, it finna be amazing.

I know what you mean.
I don’t think a bloodless dmr will change the game that much. The game will still overemphasize team shooting and limit individual skill.
I’m just hoping they have a CEA playlist that plays almost exactly like Halo:CE. If that happens…then it’s sing song time!

> Back on topic: You are still trolling and Reach doesn’t need to be “saved” it needs to be tweaked. Being a drama queen doesn’t make your point valid.

I agree with this statement. For me Reach is perfect as is, but I agree that it could probably use some tweaks here and there, every game usually does. In any case Reach certainly isn’t dieing and most definitely doesn’t need “saving”.

omg you think that alot of people play halo3?

ive been on it for a week, cause i left reach at a friends house…there was never any point where they reached over 50,000 players…reach has an average of 600,000 players a day.

The map pack that there making for CEA, is of ALL GOOD HALO CE AND 2 MAPS!..well atleast 6 of the best plus a (flood cough cough) firefight map

im already psyched about timberland, damnation and battle canyon, what other maps they have will just make me go…O.o"" I THINK YES hhaa

Yeah itt will be a custom game option… kinda like what they build their playlists around. This requires a menu change which requires a tu

facedesk

I’m inclined to agree. After all the most popular playlist is Living Dead.

They released this guy from the suicide clinic too early again >:(.

> Here’s what’ll happen:
>
> - TU comes out
> - See a spike in the population for a while

FALSE!

Team Classic was the best the community could do with what they were given. The NR wasn’t suited aesthetically for the playlists, all the maps were grey (Even if they were built to perfection), and the grenades were far too powerful for the game to even be considered playable.

The playlist also launched with 2 grenades on spawn, which created a playlist full of nothing but insta-kill grenade spam.

That is why people left Classic. The Classic Update will fix all the problems Classic had, and then some.

You’ll see.

You’ll all see.

> I’m inclined to agree. After all the most popular playlist is Living Dead.

The competitive nature in Reach is non-existent.

Yes, that’s what will happen.

Face it everyone, Halo has had it’s time. That time is done.

Name me one franchise that hasn’t started going downhill after a developer change.

Reach only has on 100k players at a time 1 year after its release. H3 kept a population of 300k 24/7

Because bloom being removed is a big deal. Not as significant as if AA’s were removed, but if this change takes place across the board it improves the game significantly.

No it won’t, it’d ruin everything.

> Because bloom being removed is a big deal. Not as significant as if AA’s were removed, but if this change takes place across the board it improves the game significantly.

If they don’t have a AA-less, Bloom-less playlist with higher jump and faster movement then, I give up all hope for Halo.

You want a franchise that hasn’t went downhill because of a developer change? Guitar Hero! Oh, wait… :slight_smile:
