I know its casual…because thats what it is. It was meant to be a casual game, to hold us over til Halo 4. And it was a test, to see what will work and what wont. Reach was a test game. And some people enjoy it. Halo 4 will be better.
> You know Reach is casual when people spam AL in the game and love it… then they come on the forums and defend it like it’s the greatest addition to Halo ever… ugh.
Dude, AL is the best thing that has happened since sliced bread.

God forbid anyone should call getting killed with AA’s or DMR spamming getting “out played”.
You know how I know Reach is casual?

Please tell me this is sarcasm, because it seems like it is, and I laughed so it was a good joke, sir/ma’am.

Thats funny, I could have sworn i heard a phrase “constructive critisism” before.

You sure this is constructive crit.?
I wasen’t reffering to that post in particular. That post, while kind of rude, is a obvious opinion of the poster…It gets his point across (While he IS being rude to the other poster)
You know Reach is casual when a Lt. Colonel says so.
The only thing that makes me vote for AR starts in Team Slayer is if the only maps that are Slayer DMRs or Slayer Pro are some of the worst Forge World maps. Seriously, some of these maps are so bad that I rather have AR starts than play on them.
You know Reach is casual when there is 1 ranked playlist, MLG is social, and Grifball and Living Dead are permanent playlists.
Also lolJetpacks.
Lol Interesting post.
You know Reach is casual when the ranking system allows you to play barbie dress up with your spartans!
Yay for floating hearts!!! (Sarcasm win)

YOU SIR ARE 100% CORRECT!! Rocket Hog Race is by far the most annoying thing on the play list. And everyone votes for it over and over and over and over and over again. its 99% the reason why I quit early and get temp-banned.
and yes people vote for ARs over DMRs. Bungie themselves said “Reach is a noob-friendly game that anyone can pick up and play” they wanted to target the COD/MW crowed and pretty much succeeded in attracting the casual noobs.
bad things about casual noobs is that they dont buy the map packs (Reach has the lowest map pack sales in Halo history) and they dont really care for the videos, books, figures etc…
so why target them when the hardcore loyal fans pay the most and play the most?
OP your statement that Reach is for casual gamers is right on target.
> You know Reach is casual when there are people that think Armor Lock isn’t the worst thing to ever happen to halo multiplayer.
i liked this one 
you know reach was made for casual players when people argue for the inclusion of jet pack in otherwise non-gimmicky / SERIOUS playlists.
you know reach was made for casual players when most people didnt understand that the DMR was inherently flawed before shishka, a member of bungie told them that. THEN, after being told this, some of them try to discredit him and continue to argue that its perfect and works as intended.
you know reach was made for casual players when it has NO BLEED MELEES.
you know reach was made for casual players when you look at the duration of ARMOR LOCK.|
you know reach was made for casual players when you look at the incredibly fast fuse time on the MINI NUKE grenades.
this thread is fantastic by the way. <3

You know Reach is made for casuals when “serious” playlists have loadouts that feature multiple AAs.
You know Reach is casual when 3/5 DLC maps are for BTB play.
You know Reach is casual when it is more effective to just double beatdown as opposed to using the Sword.
You know Reach is casual when you get on average, 2-3 medals per kill.

I know who you are talking about. 
You know reach was made for casuals when Living Dead is the most populated playlist in the game? srs?
> You know how I know Reach is casual?
>
> It only has one ranked playlist.
not only that but you start with a Designated marksman rifle, an ironic name for a gun seeing how headshots don’t even work because of the horrid bloom effect.
