Hi there, so I feel like I have to say this really quick, so let me get started. I like to win but I’m rusty I like to talk to people that have mics. I like to play the game for fun as well. I love Reach but people don’t talk as much anymore and it feels like it’s nothing but no mics out there. I feel like Reach is dying for now (thanks a lot Assassination Tower) I feel like us(the people who loves Reach) needs to bring this game back. Show to the world that this game is still fun. And it’s not died, and let’s show 343 and the people who say 360 and Reach is dumb and stupid to stay on. Let’s show them its not lets be a unit. But hey that’s what I think peace out and tell me what y’all think.
Well, I definitely don’t think Reach is dying. Reach still has a steady population, and it’s coming to the Xbox One very soon. Assassination customs does get boring, and is (in my opinion) a total waste of time, but that doesn’t really support Reach dying, it’s just a popular custom game. But I agree with you in people not talking a whole lot in lobbies anymore. There used to be a lot more.
in random lobbies I don’t have a mic because its distracting and more often than not, its a bunch of nonsense and if we start losing its people with mics blaming everyone else on the team or saying the other team cheating(which is annoying). especially when there are like 10 people with mics, it really messes with your situational awareness and concentration. also some people use team speak or skype outside of the game for communications(because their clearer and more stable than the built in xbox/in-game chat systems(which makes it easier to identify who is talking for better team play)).
Reach isn’t dying by any stretch, Its still got a lot of life left. Hopefully tonight and tomorrow with backwards compatibility confirmed we might see a bit of a spike in the reach population(although I recall that the population monitor isn’t always working properly in game and it displays incorrect numbers).
Nah Reach ain’t dead. With the amount of fan hype over just being able to play it again on the current gen console which means even more people soon because why wouldn’t somebody pick up a download copy at whatever cheap price it’ll be?
It’s gonna gain some more strength soon.
That being said, I’m kinda with you. People need to open up those mics once more for the glory that was Reach.
I know I’ll be wearing my mic when I pop on to hit up some Firefight!
