Remove bloom from Magnum.
I feel many things need changed, but I think most of them have been mentioned here. Here’s something I haven’t seen mention of, probably because it would be a new feature rather than a returning one:
I think it would be very cool if I could turn team colors off. A little toggle in ‘player preferances’ or even ‘options’ should do the trick. I like seeing everyone’s armor the way they meant it to look, and the colors they meant it to be. It wouldn’t obstruct gameplay, you have your radar, red/green reticles, and most importantly waypoints above all your teammates heads.
Also, I know this HAS been mentioned, but I’ll mention it again because it’s so important to me. How about being able to play as elites in all playlists? If your worried about balance, lower the stats to only be slightly higher than the spartans, just to confinsate for the bigger size. Or you could even make the stats the SAME as the spartans despite their bigger size, I, along with many friend elite players I have spoken to, agree that they don’t care that they are at a disadvantage as long as they can play as elites. Or if all playlists is to much, maybe just more carefree ones, like actionsack, rumble pit, infection, and classic? And hey even if that sounds like to much, we would still really appreciate an elite playlist, although I miss fighting by spartans AND elites.
One last thing, a little less important, full elite customization, if possible. As in helmet, shoulders, chest, wrist (the armor covering the elites arm and hand), visor color (replaced with the ability to choose what color the lights on the armor glow, IE: eyes on ultra helmet/glowing stripes on general armor), and knee guards (the leg armor).
I’m aware we elite players are a minority, but hey, do us a solid. Regardless, have fun improving Reach for the better 343, I hope you have no difficulty fixing broken things like armor lock and grenades, and I wish for your time with Halo to be long.
Will you all please stop using the Reach population argument. It’s really bothering me because when you people use it, you act like you really know what you’re talking about but in reality, you aren’t truelly looking at the facts.
Reach has THREE COD games to compete with. Among other popular multiplayer games
COD 4: Modern Warfare (which still has a legitimate population to sustain a working multiplayer game.)
COD: Modern Warefare 2
COD: Black Ops
Halo 3 had ONE
COD 4: Modern Warfare
Because after Modern Warfare 2 came out it the population dropped to about 100,000, which is below Reach’s. So I don’t count that because it basically makes it irrelevant to the argument. Before COD 4, Halo was thee casual game for frat boys and middle aged people alike. That is no longer the case, COD has taken that title, and with it it’s population. So go ahead and make up the “oh but even my made up friend who plays Halo doesn’t play it anymore because of bloom” argument. Because that one is even more limited than the one above.
That being said Reach is far from perfect. But I still love it. A title update will be welcome but doing drastic things like completely removing bloom or something else to change the core gameplay (like some are suggesting) is stupid and will alienate the game from its established fanbase. So if you really, really can’t stand Reach than maybe it’s best you take a break from Halo and wait until the next one comes out.

All they need to do in the patch is to let people
Turn off bloom.
Individually tweak weapon damages.
in custom games then thats it.

We all know Reach is Getting a TU now… Question is, Will get get more down the Road?

So Halo reach has 1 on the way… But what about down the road?
I wonder when the TU is live?
> I wonder when the TU is live?

I would love this and a H2 style ranking system. :3
grenades, bloom and melee please, thank you
> grenades, bloom and melee please, thank you
No, yes, and no. Grenades already are weaker than in any other Halo game, bloom just sucks, and melee has been nerfed already with the no-bleed-through mechanic.
The only thing I wish gets fixed is bloom.
Fix that and I will be back at Reach.
Give us the halo 3 ranking system.
What needs to happen.
Adjust Bloom
Nerf Grenades
Adjust AA’s
Restructure all playlists
from a non-competitive stand point aswell. I have like 1/12 fun games where people dont find some place to jump up and no one can get them or people spawn killing my team. They also need to fix the maps. I get the same 3 maps EVERY time.
Grenades do too much damage. If you’re low health but full shields ONE grenade can kill you.
Also if you get stuck you shouldn’t be able to armourlock to survive it and your shields shouldn’t recharge while also in armourlock.
just hope what ever the TU is that its good. and im sure it will be.
