Well I love the TU update so far. Here’s a list of the Pros and Cons.
Pros+
Reduced bloom is balanced
Armor lock no longer OP
Bleed through damage works perfect
Almost 0% chance of trading off. 1st beatdown wins
Sword is actually a feared weapon, atleast by me, now.
Cons-
Nades are way too OP. Either reduce the damage of them or make starting nades 1 frag.
No bloom does seem to be a little OP now. anyone can 5 shot with it.
Camo is waaaaaay to hard to spot when they are motionless.
Other then that I really love what the TU is doing. 343i, you guys just may have saved Reach for alot of Halo fans. I was about to quit. Seeing as though this game feels the way it should’ve from the beggining I think I’ll stay. Now, one thing to make all fans happy is the playlist. Here’s a layout of what it think the playlist should be after the final TU. One thing you also need to introduce to reach is Ranks. Just bring back the Halo 3 ranks for now. On to the playlist.
Community playlist
-Team Slayer
-Team OBJ
-Rumble Pit
-BTB
-Multiteam
-Invasion
Competetive(Ranks)
-MLG
-Snipers
-Swat
-Pro Slayer
-Squad Battles
Vanilla Reach
-Team Slayer
-Team Obj
-Rumble Pit
Classic
-Halo Classic(everything 4v4)
-Classic FFA
Action sack
-Grifball
-Infection
(really dunno for action sack)
DLC
(combination of all the playlist)
Here’s an idea for ranks. People can keep there rank now and that be there overall Reach rank and for the competetive playlist you can add playlist ranks like in H3 1-50. That would be the best for now. You could change it for Halo 4 if you wanted. All, not only me, but what ALOT of the community wants are ranks so we can have real competition. Arena isn’t gonna cut it. Do away with arena. Other then that I see reach being an amazing game after the final TU with or without my suggestions.
and no bloom makes the games that much more fast paced and funner xD atleast the games that ive played have been!!
