I am a little confused about the release date of the upcoming Title Update for Reach. I know it is coming in August, but when in August? Early on to make the last month of summer with Reach enjoyable or after Halofest to start off the new year?
I don’t think I can stand default Reach for another month.
I’d be very upset if it didn’t release before september 14, but as long as it better balances, fixes glitches, adds more custom options, and comes before CEA i can wait!
> the title update will probably be composed of suggestions from the community that will change the way the game is played
Bungie (I hate saying that word) actually made Halo 2 amazing with their Title Update. So a TU could do wonderous things. I am just hoping they give a nod back to the skilled players.

they just chose not to because they already had our dollars, and making a TU would only cost them money and would be a ‘risk’ because they wouldnt be 100% sure it would make them more money in the long run.
Honestly, why should 343i make a Title Update anyway? I’m pessimistic about it already because I don’t feel it will live up to my expectations. Wouldn’t it just benefit them to focus their attention on developing Halo 4? Most competitive players have left Reach by now so you mostly have the players who activate their AAs every ten seconds, who play casually for their precious credits and have no regard for winning.
What good would a TU do to that typical Reach player?
Fix theater mode, in Halo 3 we were allowed to have four people, we should have the same in Reach even though there would be more lag if theres more than one person but then thats the persons decision to have more than one person in theater mode with them. Also, more than one person in theater is needed in order to compete with Call of Duty as their theater mode is going to end up beating Halo’s unless Halo 4’s theater mode expands.
i think a title update is 100% needed. not only will it show the competitive people that 343 cares about the health of the game for everyone (not just the casuals who reach was catered to), it will also promote sales of CEA, AND halo 4 provided they implement the TU correctly.
if the TU is good enough a LOT of players will come back to reach i’d imagine. it would also be nice for those of us who dont really like reach as a halo game, but still want to play it from time to time to see an improved game with non-laughable, or less laughable mechanics.
Among a multitude of other things, fix dynamic spawns on symmetrical maps. They are just plain idiotic. The maps are symmetrical, everyone has a fair chance of getting a weapon no matter what side they spawn on. I don’t need people spawning behind me all the time. If it’s 49-49, and we have 3 of their team trapped in their base, the last guy shouldn’t be spawning behind me in our base. He should spawn with his trapped teammates, or a least somewhere in front of us.

Don’t worry about something begin “better” than Halo, thats how Reach ended where it did, with loadouts armor abilities, bloom and so on.
