I am done hoping for anything I want to happen with the Halo series to actually happen. Gaming is being ruined by franchises like COD making dumbed down FPS’s, and then making the other game companies dumb down their games to compete with the casual appeal.
Back to PC gaming it is for me where they make games of substance and depth, not cheap gameplay to appeal to people I wouldnt actually call gamers. Gone is the day of competitve gaming, or challenging games all games are now made to appeal to your Mom and your little brother, real gamers have been forgotten in this dash for the cash. What a -Yoinking!- joke.

Thats the truth. This is a bigger failure than Reach, because this game is getting destroyed the same day it was announced. Thats how you know Halo Anniversary is terrible, a lot of people hate it the moment they realize it doesn’t even have CE multiplayer on live.
I wonder if or how many other games have ever failed this much on the same day of being officially announced.
Remove the sword block, fix sword duels (where both players have a sword, both players end up dying after a period of time, back in Halo 3 there was only one decisive winner), nerf or remove AL, fix or remove bloom.
Title says all we all know what is wrong with reach and you need to fix it if you dont want to lose more of the competitive community then you already have.
Bloom
AL
Melee
Ranking System
fix those 4 and you have a good halo have for EVERYONE not just AL spamming nubs who feel achieved because they can get a high rank from playing 3 days of Firefight…
> Yep, I agree. Everyone should be on equal footing when the game starts. Gain map control, earn the power-ups. Jet pack and armor lock can stay because the players are earning it.
Armor Lock does NOT deserve to be in MP. Jet Pack could probably be ok as long as their aren’t a crap load of that AA lying around the map for people to pick up.

Actually those problems is core mechanics and they do ruin the gameplay. Glitches, bugs, etc is merely in second in list of important to fix…
Sword does not need to be nerfed, it is now by far the weakest PW in the whole game thanks to the sword block and nerfed sword lunge.
Fact: Shotgun>Sword
Bloom cannot really be removed because it would pretty much cripple the rest of the game in the sens that the maps would not flow correctly due to a bigger limitation on movement. The sad fact is that there will be no good way to deal with Bloom. If Bloom gets bigger then spamming gets worse at close ranges, if bloom gets smaller then spamming gets worse at long ranges. If it’s removed spamming is just tyrant. You could limit the shot timing, but Im not entirely sure that is possible since the nature of most of the weapons are semi-auto.
AL does not necessarily need to leave but it needs a kick in the -Yoink- for sure. I won’t argue what everyone already knows about it, but I understand the intention of the AA that has been defiled. Thus it needs to be nerfed back to its original intention which was to invoke teamwork.
There are whole threads dedicated to why the ranking sucks, but the fact of the matter is that all they can really do (I think) is tighten up the TrueSkill system and thats it.
Melee is a duh.
