Why is Halo reach so pathetic now?

Reach has always sucked. I was bored with this game after the first week it came out. After putting in countless hours of Halo 2 and 3 online. This game was designed for the casual crowd who wanted every weapon to be equal so that they could get kills easier. The ranking system was taken out so the bad kids couldn’t see how bad they really were. The whole game was a pathetic scam to begin with and the population shows. Less than 50,000 people online on a franchise game that is the main reason we still have an Xbox system AND Xbox live.

We need the halo CE and halo 2 game producers back, those people were innovators. They understood what replay value was in a video game. It isn’t how much armor you can collect or how many credit points you add up. Halo started as a competitive FPS and it should NEVER have strayed from that. Reach was a scandal which was designed in an attempt to lure the cod crowd over here. It failed miserably and lost most of the loyal halo crowd in the process.

It’s a shame what Bungie did to the franchise giant they had created.

> Matchmaking on Halo Reach is a joke. It is meant for little children with no regard to competitive play and the rules surrounding the temporary bans for quitting or being booted are an absolute joke. Put some rules in place for a change that work 343i developers!!! Are you kidding me that a user can just leave their Xbox on and keep getting put in matchmaking games to just sit there and die? COD boots you if you don’t play for a few minutes, it’s that simple. Then to ban people for quitting when there are so many damn children like the one just mentioned, or children that shoot their own teammates cuz they didn’t get the weapon, or children that commit suicide. Halo is a joke now with all this crap and even if you want to get away from it by setting the search settings to match skill, that doesn’t even work. Why even have the search preferences 343i? Halo is a joke, 343i is a joke. I wish they would have just left Halo as it was and never touched it. Now it is a joke and a game that only little children or people play. If you want to play a real man’s competitive game, play COD.

> Also, if you are going to continue to put out more Halo filth, at least make it so people who want to be competitive with it can play that way as opposed to playing with idiots. It seems that the majority of people that play Halo Reach now are either children or mentally limited (I have actually met a few online). Halo used to be MA-17 but I guess since little -Yoink!- 343i took over, it has become a -Yoink!-’s game. Thanks a lot for being such a 3it0h 343i!!! You suck!

Just wait for Halo 4. No AAs, No Bloom, 1-50 ranking system, and The return of the BR. Hopefully 343 knows what we want. :)^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Someone is pessimistic. Why post if you just asume all future Halos are gonna suck? Are you on these forums just to complain?

I couldn’t have said it any better man. We need to get back to Halo’s roots, I want to be hooked again!

I know exactly what your going through and so do about a million other ex-Reach players, BUT your focusing your anger on the WRONG target, BUNGIE is the one responsible for hiring Sage and Derek from the ShadowRun team. Those two idiots ruined the entire Halo franchise, 343i are only trying to clean up this big cluster Fk Bungie made. We should be supporting 343i NOT blaming them for something they never had control of when Reach production began. If anything we owe thanks to 343i for at least listening to Halo’s community unlike Bungie who just laugh at our faces and flip us the middle finger while counting their money.
Your anger should be aimed at Sage and Derek as well as your rifle should too. We should all send them some powerful “fire works”…(wink.wink) by mail, the world would be a better place if those two a-holes disappeared…I dont get it… millions of people all over the world die every day, why aren’t Sage and Derek some of them?

You would have thought that being part of such a horribly made game, that totally flopped on every aspect (ShadowRun) would have been enough to teach them a lesson of how things should be (or at least, how things should NOT be) but no… idiots will remain idiots eh?
