And we wonder why 343i doesn’t know what to do…
I agree with you OP. Bungie heard all of this kind of feedback in the beta and decided not to change much of it, mostly because it throws off the balance and creates a game that doesn’t work. I’ll be sticking to Team Slayer for now (even though I never get matched with people who have DLC).

why do you think i quoted the word crying?
I think you might be alone on this one, OP. Before the TU, the game was horribly broken. It’s now playable thanks to 343.

broken?
hate the use of this word, people throw this word around as if everything about reach doesn’t work as it was meant to when this isn’t the case, it might not be to your liking but that doesn’t mean the game is broken.
unbalanced, noob friendly, boring, to easy, inconsistent and probably other words would be fine …
I wouldn’t say that Reach is broken, but i do believe that 343 have some answering to do.
Since the TU i have had nothing but frustration in the TU games, as it has taken a large chunk of the strategy out in an attempt to speed it up, but has turned it into a spammers paradise and when combined with the bleed through glitch leads to a loss of the feeling that Reach is a game of Skill.
Don’t get me wrong, as i still love Reach, i just wish that 343 would make a totally different play list for the TU, for those who like spamming, and keep what they were terming “Vanilla” Reach for those of us that when we get beat down, know that it is fair and square and can bask in someone else’s glory whist they hump our faces.
343 were given Reach to maintain as custodians and not to change it in to “just another game” so please 343 reconsider, and if you must, separate it out so we can keep the real Reach alive in it entirety as it was meant to be as Bungie knew what they were doing!

True that!
You sir are incorrect.
Nope.
OP and anyone who agrees with him has deficient sensory input.
All the TU does is fix everything that was wrong with Reach to begin with. It is now a fast-paced, skillful game. 343 has done the impossible and made an unplayable mess into a good game.
As for the “Spamming” argument…Try pacing your shots with 85%. The natural “Cadence” is only slightly slower than full on spamming. If you develop the perfect cadence, you will never, ever lose to a spammer because you’re firing almost as fast as they are, but perfectly accurate.
This thread is officially DEBUNKED. Lock it up and throw away the key. Title Update all the way!

100% this.
Reach TU = anti-tactical. Say it with me kids, Reach TU = anti-tactical.
But the unfortunate fact here is, that actually IS what a huge chunk of this community wants. A sign of the times perhaps? The modern entitlement culture at work? (“omg DATS MY KILL this game is trash”, etc.)
To these people i say: Quake Arena Arcade is available on the marketplace for 1200MSP, this may be more to your liking. Dont let the door hit you on the -Yoink- on the way out.
I actually love TU but they just should get rid of bleedthrough, it messes with the feedback system.
Anti-tactical?
If you base your tactic on AL then I guess so. You obviously don’t know how to properly coordinate callouts, teamshooting etc. within Halo. I feel bad for you since obviously your tactic revolves around improving your own K/D, and as such will always loose against good players and their teams.
It’s a good thing that I’m confident in 343’s competence because if I thought they could be swayed from their mind set by reading a bunch of post from noobs I’d seriously lose sleep. If you want the reach before the title update go play 75% of the play list.
All I ask is that you never search MLG. I’m sick of making all of you kids quit out.

lol
Reach was flawed by design prior to and after the TU update. 343 can’t redesign the entire sandbox with a patch.

There was nothing wrong with reach (ok, maybe only maps, but that’s an easy to fix issue), This game was almost perfectly balanced, and had great mechanics.Now, if you don’t like this game just play H3.Or CoD.
Nah it’s better now when it’s actually playable.
How’re the maps an easy to fix issue? Either you were sarcastic or you were implying that forge takes care of that, which it doesn’t.

Hahaha! That’s exactly what most players did! They left for other games! Now Reach is left with a population that doesn’t even “Reach” 100,000 anymore!
Reach mechanics were garbage. People realized that and left. The TU made Reach playable for a lot of people, but by the time it rolled around, it was too late. The TU didn’t ruin Reach. Reach ruined itself from the get go. The TU was an answer to stem the tide of leaving players. But the damage was done.
Reach was a flop, and the majority knows it.
