Two Major Mistakes In Reach


These are my problems with Halo Reach: (my opinion)


  • THE MORE FAST PACED HALO IS, THE LESS CARNAGE THERE IS. HALO IS NOT ABOUT KILLS!
    In H3 you could hold one of many key positions without being overpowered. THIS IS STRATEGY! IN REACH YOU ARE OVERPOWERED AND VULNERABLE. In Reach there are few strategies that are not cheap. (e.g. Because the dmr is overpowered, people are able to hide safetly and get many kills. Evade is another example.)

  • Reach replaced style with graphics. (e.g. The visual style of Halo 3’s campaign made it a lot more fun.)

In Conclusion
I believe halo should be a battle of attrition where strategy is paramount. Chess involves great strategy because the pieces have so little ability. The same principle applies to spartans.


This is what I hope to see in Halo 4(or 5):


  • More opportunities to “vehicle surf” :wink:
  • While loadouts are probably a bad idea, armor abilities should definetly remain. One
    solution would be to make them like halo 3 equipment.
  • No invincible allies like Kat.
  • I wanna ride a turtle! :smiley:
  • At least one campaign mission where you can kill a scarab.
  • Marines that follow you in campaign.
  • I hate bloom.
  • Jetpack + mongoose = ?.
  • Special ghosts that can drive over water?
  • If friendly fire is enabled in mm then betrayal booting should be turned off.

All these have been posted a million times. Nothing new here. But to add to your point - Halo should be about contributing to the team, not personal gain, but that’s the mentality that CoD has brought in.

I whole hearty agree with everything point made here.
But number 7 on the Don’ts. Some customisation is is better than none at all.

I was also thinking that bots should be in forge. We NEED jet pack, sprint, and invisibility but not in loadouts and not on all maps, if any at all. I prefer the halo 3 br. Four grenades seems extreme to me.

Its funny how you blame cod which has teams and ffa like halo for people not contributing to the team. Lets see you think that this is cods fault and not just the nature of some people? Well there is a problem with halo that is worse you see its betraying for power weapons and cod has nothing to do with this as there is no friendly fire. I do not understand, did you think every one was pure and cod corrupted them? Understand this the FPS genre has the same types of players no one game can be blamed. Oh do not call me a cod fanboy just because I did not agree with you. It just irritates me that you bring up something in this forum with no real relevance to halo. Stop blaming games and blame people don’t defend people because most of them do not deserve it. And that includes our own fan base too.

  1. ? you can already do that to an extent…
    2)i’m in for the opisite,loadouts yes, AA’s no, but not for all games
    3)yes, i’m annoyed that one can kill me but not her/him
  2. ??
    5)those are fun, but make Scarab’s more formidable, their beams take for ever to kill you, considering their size and power
    6)yes, and make them better fighters as well, 500 years in the future and we don’t have a decent military??
    7)your opinion
    8)fast assult aircraft with no mounted weapons? me like
    9)screw ghosts, what we need is amphibious vehicles, and boats, besides, repulsorlift vehicles (such as a ghost, and wraith) don’t cooperate too well with water anyway
  3. BIG NO, people would abuse it to hell, just try to fix the boot system plz!

Yeah I agree. The graphics in Halo reach while better were just not as “cool” or “awesome” as Halo 3. Halo 4 - I want you to be more shiny!

> - If friendly fire is enabled in mm then betrayal booting should be turned off.

Booting system should fixed not taken off competely ignoring the betrayal problem is not the way to fix it. Turning it off would only make it worst, i have no idea why you want it turned off unless your someone who play the game just to betray people for fun

Or at least control a Scarab like what Bungie was originally going to alow to do in Reach in between New Alexandria and The Package (The idea was scrapped).

There’s just one thing wrong with your statement: I like halo reach.

Agreed, that’s all the more that can be said here.

I think Reach did everything a Halo game should have done, and right.

I like Reach, it had a great story and I liked the idea of armor abilities.

I wrote the first half very seriously but I just threw together the second half about my wants for halo 4/5.
