-
Change DMR bloom to be like the pistol, you might get a few hits hits while spamming.
-
Make the DMR not wreck vehicles.
-
Add in the random tidbits of Halo 3 to forgeworld, those really made the maps.
-
Shorter the duration of AL to 1 second and give it 2 uses per charge.
-
Make blocking the sword harder to do.
My five would have to be.
- The Bloom on the DMR or you could just get rid of it.
- Armor Lock needs nerfed.
- Add the individual ranks to the playlists.
- Change the damage to vehicles by weapons.
- A playlist that has just custom games playing.
- VIP brought back
- Tweak AL so as not as offensive (also Frosting Effect)
- Tweak bloom
- Make a pelican for Forge World (Unlikely)
- Return of Sandbox or new Forge World
-
Balance weapons. Buff the damage of the plasma repeater and of the plasma rifle. Buff the lock-on speed for the plasma launcher. Buff the focus rifle a bit. Remove sword block. Nerf the damage DMR and the sniper does on the vehicles. Buff the damage the covenant weapons do to vehicles. Keep bloom.
-
Balance vehicles. Nerf the scorpions firing rate and speed. Nerf the banshee bom and buff it’s plasma cannon. Also, limit the evades for the banshee. Buff the ghosts plasma cannons. Nerf the “bumpiness” of the warthog.
-
Balance the AAs. Make evade recharge slower. Make the active camo user completely visible, remove the radar scrambler, but make him visible on the radar at all times to reduce camping. Make the drop shield indestructible. Create an AA that recharge the shield of people inside it, like the regenerator from halo 3. However, players get slower inside it and have reduced jump height. Make armor lock shorter, and remove it’s ability to destroy vehicles. Keep the EMP, but make it so you can’t spam it.
-
Buff elites. Make them a tad faster, a tad stronger, and a tad more resistant.
-
New forge worlds!!!
Oh, and bring back the chopper, prowler and the elephant.
- NEW ARMORS(preferably through new vidmasters)
- NEW VIDMASTERS
- Refine Armor Lock
- Better/Harder Weekly Challenges with bigger rewards
- Fix Bloom
-
Vehicals need to be buffed! Give them more gravity (flipping with 6 DMR shots? wth!) Taken out with anywhere from 2-6 sniper shots? Unbelievable!
1.1 Nerf sniper against vehicals -
Give us Generator Defence again! For those who remember the beta, GD was the ultimate gametype!
-
Make the elites something to fear again! They have been nerfed to what a spartan is!
-
Buff the Plasma Launcher to beta levels! Players, even myself pass it up for an AR!
-
Nerf the Gernades!
Call me a beta fanboy all you want, because I am. I belive these changes to be close to undisputed, or at least less disputed as other issues such as Armor Abilities and Bloom. Thanks for reading!
I feel the game is fine the way it is. Doesn’t need a TU, but 343 will probably do a good job not makin it feel completely different but changin things around a bit.
- Remove or fix bloom
- Nerf Grenades
- New melee system
- 1-50 Rank System
- Allow parties in theater
1. Nerf Armor lock greatly. Shorten the duration to 3 seconds and make it so that you can not melee for .7-1.0 seconds after coming out. The recharge time should also be VERY VERY long since it totally stunts gameplay and is easily abused. If you get owned in this game you should not have a get out of jail free card. You lost/your bad/what have you, but there is no excuse to make me tap my foot for 6 seconds to kill a player who clearly lost.
2. Tweak bloom! Make it more accurate or eliminate it entirely from the DMR/NR and limit the rate of fire to that of past BR’s! It will just be like Halo 2 with DMR hitscan.
[Another opinion, tweak it so spamming is always the wrong choice and you must time your shots to hit your target. Make spam always miss and accurate shots always hit. Reduce the speed that bloom resets at though to help keep gameplay moving swiftly.]
3. 1-50 Ranking system. I know there is a TruSkill hidden in Reach. Please make it visible again for all of us to see. I want to play against kids that are my level, and I want to compete in getting a 50 in high-skilled playlist’s! Getting 50’s for me was so fun! Always doing your best to rank up and to be better than the competition. Reach totally and utterly removed this feeling that me, along with so many others enjoyed greatly.
4. Tweak Sword block/Fix Bulltrues. Remove this stupid idea. Shotgun beats sword, well timed shots from any weapon can beat a sword. If sprint is altered so that you can not beat down immediately after sprinting then this will help keep the weapon from being overpowered. Better yet just remove sprint and increase standard movement speeds but either way. [Fix bulltrues. The countless times I kill someone in a sword lunge and receive the bulltrue medal, yet die repeatedly is ridiculous.]
5. Remove the no-bleed through melee system. This horrible melee system irritates me to know end. When a player is weak in shields, the power of the melee should bleed right through and kill the player if he is indeed weak enough.
Thank you 343i. Put Halo Reach back on the #1 XBL game charts and make this game great. It is so close, Bungie did good but now you guys need to close the gap. I am sure others brought up some good points, and some will bring up horrible ones. Please weed out carefully the experienced players from the newer ones and take into close consideration what the community is saying. A lot of it is veiled in ranting and rage with little intent to better the game. But there is also much that repeats itself. Many threads on Bungie.net and Top 5’s here will repeat themselves. These are the things people have been screaming to have fixed. This game is so close to perfection and the community knows what it is.
343i do work!
Everyone seems to have a lot of wants, hopes, and wishes. I only have one.
1) Fix vehicle damage tables. I feel that the banshee bomb and scorpion blast splash-damage should not be an instant kill, it would require a direct hit. This would make banshees use their primary guns more, and make scorpions have to aim at their targets without getting overkills. Due to this, their durability from small arms fire should be greatly increased. A DMR and Sniper should almost never be able to take out a wraith or a banshee. I prefer the Halo 2 approach to using anti-vehicle weapons. Anti-vehicle weapons are balanced in taking out vehicles because they usually have drawbacks like a chargeup time (plasma launcher), bullet travel time (rockets), or low range (concussion rifle). The sniper is long range, quick at firing, and can take out my banshee almost instantly.
That’s all I ask. I’d like to actually be able to survive in my vehicle a bit longer than on foot, even if I am slower at getting kills.
- ARMOR LOCK REMOVE 2. NEW RANKING SYSTEM 3. FIX GRENADES 4. FIX MELEE SYSTEM 5. NEW ARMOR EFFECTS
only 5? D: well ok /:
-
remove sword block. It makes no sense its just plain limited.
-
nerf AL. Spasificly remove the emp blast and sticky shedding.
-
fix living dead. wich means ADD more custom gametypes and add custom levels. remove friendly fire.
-
tweak active camo. remove the jamming aspect. and make it so where its always GOOD camo no matter how much you move. but it still drains depending on how much you move.
-
tweak the bloom on the DMR. make it so it expands twice as fast. but resets twice as fast. that way spamming only works at close range.
ive got plenty more but oh well /:
Remove AA’s
Remove Loadouts
Fix Banshee Bomb/manuvering
Fix Infected/Bulltrue Bug
Fix Grav Hammer Bug
-
Alter bloom so it rewards timing shots better.
-
Nerf Armour Lock (no EMP, no sticky shedding, shorter duration.)
-
Individual weapon traits (damage, bloom, etc.)
-
Remove Sword Block except for Sword vs Sword.
-
Bring back shield bleed through.
- Fix bloom, and make it toggle off/on. (at least do one or the other)
- Melee system with the whole bleed through fails.
- Grenades… nerf them somehow, but don’t make them useless.
1.Remove Bloom
2.Fix armor lock
3.Better MM system in matching up even teams.
All of this and and im happy
-
Fix the Warthog - it’s far too bouncy and unpredictable. Please use Halo 3’s Warthog as a reference.
-
Nerf Armor Lock. Make it so if youtap it once, you use it all regardless of how long you stay in it.
-
Balance out the maps and make them more like Guardian, The Pit, Narrows,…
-
Arena needs a 1-50 system that resets every few months.
-
Decrease the Sniper Rifle’s ability to destroy vehicles.
Have you read yourselves lately?
(1) Remove Bloom because so it’s not hard to kill people.
(2) Remove Armor Lock because it makes other people hard to kill.
(3) Make Armor Abilities pickups so they can be camped like power weapons.
(4) Remove sword block so nobody can ever block it evaaaaar.
Thanks minority for offering up some well-reasoned additions, i.e. anything that adds to the game instead of tweaking what’s not broken.
There’s only one thing I want to see in the game (besides more armor options):
#1: Separate traits of Elite/Spartan teams for Invasion gametypes.
This will allow many more variations of dinosaur hunting than are currently available and will make all the custom invasion types way more interesting.
I’ve been a Halo fan since Halo CE, played Halo 2 the entire time it was live, I still play Halo 3 to this day, I tried playing Halo Reach for a month or two but i just wasn’t having fun on it, pretty much my whole friends list stopped gaming due to this game, i see potential in Reach but there are too many set backs, you can say i’m a competitive gamer and enjoy a challenge,
-
My 1st update i would love to see is a good rank system, Halo2/Halo3 was amazing, i loved playing ranked and i’m pretty much sure 95% of the people in the community do as well , yes there are flaws in having a 1-50 rank system, boosters, booters and cheaters ect… but i’m sure it’s your job as the game developers to stop this from happening, if you were to add a ranked playlist i’m sure ALOT of people will come back to your game including me.
-
The bloom, I’m not a fan of the bloom, you could say it is random, i would love to see it gone but then the gun its self would be very strong and over power the other weapons, the very least you could do is tune it down a little, make the bloom reset quicker and the expand of the bloom slower
-
Bring back the ‘bounce’ Grenades, i remember grenades being a big part of a lot of peoples game, grenades could reward you for your skill, alot of times an enemy would have the advantage on me by a few shots and i would bounce a grenade off the floor to explode at there feet and ‘pop’ there shields, Reach grenades are different they seem to get lodged in the floor and not move when you try to bounce them.
These next two are just suggestions for the future of Halo and not the title update.
More symmetrical maps, halo is known for having great fun/competitive maps, but the maps in Reach are just a disappointment, it seems as though you have tried to add way too much detail into them, i enjoyed the simple maps like zanzibar/Last resort, Valhalla, The pit, Narrows, Construct, Sanctuary, Gurdian, Lockdown, these were all great competitive maps, i feel like there is no love for the competitive side of the halo community in Reach, it’s as though you made forge and thought to yourselves ‘Make your own maps now’.
Speaking of forge, I only used forge a few times so they might already be used but here’s what i would like to see, more colours instead of the normal grey we seem to always get put with, alot more curvy objects, give us the chance to change colours of the objects we use, allow us to raise land (think we might be able to do that) allow us to add water/clouds/gravel/soil/trees, go extreme we would love that.
I know for a fact that if a few of these ideas get added so many people will come back to Halo Reach, i for one definitely will!
