It disgusts me that some game types remain and classic was removed. Game types like arena that consistently has less than 1000 players in it. Or DLC which consistently has less than 600 players in it.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the powerups in halo reach destroyed the true skill involved in the game play. It put everyone good or bad at a much more equal playing ground. Not only that though. It also took away from the map control as it use to be fun to get an overshield and run through people. Now I see these shoemakers using the overshield or whatever its called and just depending on someone else killing the person that is killing them because they were incapable of doing it themselves.
Putting that issue aside, I would have thought with CE coming out the beta would have more classic game types. But nope, just another let down. I hope this isn’t going to be a consistent pattern where poor decisions are made at every corner to please the weak and young players of the new generation. If they suck they can go play COD. Leave Halo to the players that respect true skill.
ps. First strike medal is a joke. how does it make top medals board everygame. of course theres going to be a first strike. once again, another example of someone trying to make mediocrity something special
> This is not Halo 3: reach, this is a NEW game, not a copy paste. Just get with the new.
Just like halo 2 was not Halo 1.5. Or Halo 3 was Halo 2.5. It is Halo’s unique style and gameplay. Reach is not Halo. It is just Reach. Thie Halo .5 argument is invalid when all the other games have had the core Halo gameplay. Reach does not. Stop failing. The new sucks.
You just have to wait a few more weeks. I am really looking forward to the new/old maps. I hope they get the settings right and it’s even more fun than the classic playlists that were removed.
classic was nice, and I do enjoy having powerups on the map. But its population was always really low, like sometimes less than 100. So I dont really get your population argument.

It wasnt really classic, Which disappointed people.
Classic was removed because it had the (consistently) lowest population of any playlist in Reach - ever. Furthermore, it failed to deliver a proper classic experience that only adapted Custom Games can.
