Well I loved the guys thread above mine! And I only really play the bigger games aka btb, multi-team and invasion. These are just the top things I wouldn’t mind being changed (in no serious order except for number 1)
Networking! It seems every time I play it picks the worst available host and or there has been numerous games where ive idled more time in black screen(also the black screen has cost me numerous spree’s that needs to go) then i do actual play time!/ unbelievable lags!
I hear where ppl are complining about the enitre team DMR’n their vehicles to death and thats for good cause but, how bout just lowering the dmrs damage on vehicles I dunno 20%?
I love the attention AL has received. As a once hater of the ability I decided to pick it up and try it out. I don’t feel its overpowered just alot of players dont take the time to figure out how to counter it (most just stand there like idiots and wait for them to come out) However I wouldnt mind it either draining 50% of your shields/not allowing your shields to come back or make it where lets say shooting an emp burst on an Armor locking person removes them from said state.
I love to forge but there is only so much you can do with the pieces given (some really cool stuff at that I might add) But how bout allowing us to use some of the pieces from the campaign. Nothing in particular just more stuff to play with would be very well appreciated!
This one is controversial as I had my rank reset by bungie (I admit I AFK’d in firefight but was warned not to do so and was credit banned for 2 weeks and never did it again 5 months later i go from shy of eclipse to recruit! look at my service record I clearly play the crap out of this game). soo here goes! I agree with the previous guy and the AFK kicker(he should patent that) I dont know lets say 2min no movement and your out the game ( i think thats about what bad company 2 is at). And a re-assessment of the previous rank resets as some of us actually earner >90% of our rank. (and seeing how so many of the “boosters” have left the halo universe only a few of us actually came back and still play!)
Well thats about all I can think of right now! Hopefully others agree but also welcomed to constructive criticism!!
Remove Loadouts from the game completely and make anything and everything a Pick Up! (That includes AA’s or Equipment)
No more FORGE MAPS! When I buy a game I want to play well build levels not awful remakes that I could of built better myself.
Movement! More Chief less 6.
Skilled Matchmaking so that I dont play kids that cant aim 24/7, its not fair to them and its making medals like Perfections and Exterminations less special.
Objective Gaming needs to be set free from the restrictions that Reach has imposed. Bring back the good old days please.
Nerf, or remove Armor Lock. An item of equipment should not be able to kill you, or do much with the only negative being immobile.
Fix the DMR Bloom. The NR’s bloom works out well, spamming rarely works. With the DMR, spamming wins 20% of the time, at medium range. That’s too effective.
1-50, but not the piss-poor system Halo 3 had, but not impossible like Halo 2’s. Find a nice medium.
Nerf the grenades. Honestly, you shouldn’t be able to throw mini nukes that will kill you if you have anything less than perfect health.
Bring back bleed-through melee, decrease melee damage to 75%. Sprint double beatdowns are running rampant right now, and it makes the game annoying and frustrating to play. Look at some playlists that already use it for an example. In them, nobody ever charges and double beatdowns, because they know it is ineffective. They only use it as a last resort.
Playlist Ranks like Halo 3, and more credits for winning games since the cR system promotes boosting stats
1-50 level system brought back like Halo 2, but slightly easier to rank up like Halo 3
Bleed through brought back
Armor Lock removed or nerfed such as removing the frosting effect, shedding stickies etc…
I want to see all my teammates in Invasion, and when the spawn counter says zero I want to spawn. Also can we have FFA colors in invasion, or go back to the beta look. I mean it is not that hard to tell the difference between an elite and a spartan.
All of you guys have to remember, not everyone on Reach plays competitive like you guys! I think some of the changes should be made for some game types. So make two new playlists. One Competitive, the other Social…like in Halo 3.
Here is my list.
New competitive and Social Playlists.
Different options for each of those playlists.
example: Armor lock lasts for the normal duration in social… While in competitive, it lasts half as long as it does in Social.
Bloom; for the DMR make it like the Needle rifle. Social; no changes.
No fall damage is fine. For each I guess.
Don’t make the sniper and DMR overcome vehicles for both playlists. Nerf the damage on vehicles…
Buff up hologram in some way… just a small boost. Like it could take some bullets for you, and your reticule turns red when you look at it. Depending on who you are. ( Different playlists )
> My Top 5 Are:
> 1. For A more Classic playlist, allow Spartans and Elites on the same team again (H3)…without bloom of course.
>
> 2. Beta invasion (colors)
> 3.ELITE CAMPAIGN!!!(would be nice)
>
> 4. More armor including Halo 3 variants, also Arbiter armor option for Elites
>
> 5. More Forge world items, like civilian vehicles or props, and effects like fire or corpses like on lone wolf.
>
>
> -thats my top 5
I completely agree with the invasion beta colours they were more realistic like Covy vs UNSC
Nerf the damage of grenades so people won’t just spam them when given the chance. I feel that grenades should damage the shields to the point where it takes one or two (prefferably two) shots to completely deminish the shields and also a grenade should kill an opponent with no shields whatsoever.
Remove the no-bleed through melee system so people won’t be encouraged to double melee over using a gun.
Nerf bloom so it isn’t spamming the trigger over timing your shots. Or completely eliminate bloom, and add in recoil.
Decrease the time able to be spent in Armor Lock, so when they come out of Armor Lock their shields aren’t recharging. Also, have a delay from meleeing when just coming out of Armor lock. This would prevent popping in & out of AL to melee.
Halo 3’s 1-50 ranking system in certain playlists (most likely adding new playlists with this system instead of chaging the current ones) . This would add the competitive fun that Halo 3 had, and would give players an incentive to keep on playing.
Remove the sowrd block prefab it is so limited how can you block a buring hot plasma sowrd it cuts through anything including spartan.
Get rid of armour lock completely and replace it with some kind of shield like this Sangheili here so it does not make you invinsable from behind or the sides but you could move with it.
Kick out the bloom or nerf it dramaticaly!!
Allow elites in all matchmaking play lists wether they be tall or not.
And create tactical evades so you can actually jump over people or vehicles. like in this video. fast forward to 1:12 to see the tactical evade. Bad -Yoink- !
1.- Nerf the Banshee bomb, it is way too overpowered.
2.- Increase jump heigth and movement speed.
3.- Make the grenades fuse last nore and reduce blast radius.
4.- Remove the abbility to shed plasmas with AL and make it a 1 charge per use so it can not be spammed.
5.- Let us SELECT the map and gametype we want on Score attack why do we need to vote for terrible gametypes and maps when it is only our selves playing? also add arcade gametype to score attack.
1st) Removal of Armour lock from all playlists
2nd) Nerf nades
3rd) Complete infection overhaul (community maps, decrease pistol ammo, increase shotgun ammo, remove the cage and swordbase, fix betrayal glitch, more infection game types, a fair zombie routa and enabel booting)
4th) color palette for forge world
5th) more custom game options (including vip)
Keep bloom. I’m tired of little babies complaining that they actually have to AIM instead of spray and pray.
Keep Armor Abilities, Armor lock and Invisabilty is way overpowered though.
Bring back the 1-50 ranking system. Keep the cR system so you can buy armor but I want the 1-50 back.
More ARMOR!!! Give people that are Field Marshals armor to look forward to. Once your Field Marshal it loses its fun because there isn’t any new armor to unlock or anything.
Less forge world maps!!! I hate forge world and I don’t want 20 maps that look the same, just rearranged. Give us new colorful maps like halo 3!! If bungie lacked on one thing this game it would be the maps. I would be willing to pay 40-50$ if you could port all the halo 3 maps into halo reach.

I’m going to agree with this, but I would like to see some new community maps & changes in the booting system
removal of bloom- when i aim i should hit what im aiming, this way it comes down to skill not luck
removal of sword blocking- this one is pretty obvious, if im close enough to someone that i can melee them twice and kill them why cant i hit them with the sword and be done with it?
armor lock fix- make it so when you activate armor lock you have to stay in armor lock for the whole duration and not just going in and out like most people do
better score attack playlist options- i hate beach head, i shouldnt have it crammed down my throat on a playlist i play all by myself
put falcons or banshees in firefight maps- beach head is huge, even with 4 people, so why not include a falcon? grunts have fuel rods and plasma pistols so its not too over powered, itd just make the experience more fun
forgeable firefight maps- for custom firefight games itd just be cool
driveable scarab in forgeword- this request may be outlandish but it would kick -Yoink!-, even if u can only play around with it while forging, or make a custom game where 2 scarabs duke it out, forgeworld is big enough and im sure everyone has thought itd be awesome to drive one
all in all i think all i suggested are minor changes but enough to keep people who like the game as it is now and people who are looking for a change both satisfied, id keep the ranks if i were 343 and just put in a few more competitive playlists but im sure 343 has alot of other ideas that are gunna be awesome
