1: A true 1-50 halo 2 style ranking system is an absolute must for reach to survive until Halo 4 is released. This system
should be put into any “Real” competitive playlist. Examples: MLG, Team slayer, Squad battle, Rumble pit, Double team.
Obviously with a real ranking system this would mean that guests would no longer be able to play in these playlists so “Social playlists” of the most popular playlists would have to be made to accompany them similar to what was down in Halo 2’s matchmaking system.
This ranking MUST also match groups up players as equally as possible based on the number of players in each party. Teams of 4’s should only be able to match other parties of 4. Parties of 3 should match other parties of 3 and then fill in the 2 individual players. I would actually be alright with Parties of 4 being able to match parties of 3 + 1 random but that’s it. Any parties of 2 or individuals searching can match each other.
2: No-Bleed through on weapons and beat-downs needs to be straight up removed. it really does nothing but slow down gameplay and add a random factor.
3: Remove bloom
4: Remove all of the bullet magnetism well Unscoped with the sniper. Also the hit boxes for the sniper need to be drastically tweaked to not be so massive and forgiving. The sniper just needs to be straight up harder to use. Bring back the H1 sniper in other words.
5: Both nades and rockets need VERY TINY tweaks. Nades need to be just a TINY BIT less damaging. I should not be able to get 1 naded with full shields but 1 box of health missing. Rockets just need a blast radius tweak. The kill zone/ Absolutely no health no shields zone is just slightly to large and forgiving.
hey guys i think 343 gets it by now that you all want bloom removed, armor lock nerfed/removed, better vehicles, grenades nerfed and so on how about tellin them what you want in the playlists like unlimited waves of firefight in matchmaking, firefight versus, better gametypes in action sack, race playlist, VIP or whatever

It’s obnoxious! If they don’t want to give us a toggle feature, maybe they can just cut down on the amount of information being portrayed over the live feed. Does it need to fill up half my screen by telling me HOW I was killed? “with a headshot”, “with grenades” It’s unnecessary.

My post was kind of just completely glanced over… nobody acknowledged it or anything. People are all just repeating themselves about bloom and AL. This is a serious issue I have here, it makes playing with four people nearly impossible.
1.Easier to get an assist.
2.Melee system to have bleed through.
3.Proper ranked and social playlists.
4.fix the sword.
5.Make the sniper harder to use.
Bloom-The bloom in the Halo: Reach beta was what I was expecting when I purchased the game. I honestly have no problem with bloom staying, so long as we could get something revolving around that. I don’t remember being spammed to death in the Beta. If this couldn’t be done, then a toggle for a bloom On/Off wouldn’t be bad either.
Speed-When I’m walking around in Reach, I feel sluggish. At the bare minimum a ten percent increase to speed would make this go away. I’d just like to be able to move around a little more smoothly.
Fall Damage-Taking out fall damage entirely would be ideal, in my opinion. I’d like to be able to jump from the top of Countdown to the bottom without having to worry about being down a shot going into a possible DMR battle.
Theater-Watching video clips with my friends was something I loved about Halo 3. After we played a great game, and we wanted to review, after one of us did something amazing, and we wanted to watch, or if we utterly failed, and needed to see what we did wrong. Now with the Reach theater, we can’t do that unless we time it correctly and have everyone download the clip from the given file share, and then start the video at the same time. Afterwards, I’m sure I don’t have to stress how irritating it is if someone needs to pause.
Ranking-Lastly, I’d like to see a traditional ranking system introduced to the Arena area. Having the three playlists of: FFA, Doubles and Team. While I’m not disappointed with what we have now, I don’t think that there would be much dispute over having the old ranking systems back.
before i post my five i think it should be known that at least one. long time player and fa of the halo serious thinks the bloom is just fine. in fact i think it is an awesome evolution in aiming systems that reach uses better than any game ever has…
weaken armor lock. i do not really care how. perhaps make it not last as long. or maybe even better make it so shield does not recharge while AL is activated. i never thought it was very fair to be able to completely heal and be able to wit for backup.
melee. two hit kill does not fly. i never truly did understand this decision i thought it was basically perfect in halo 3 and even halo 2.
add the ability to add more armor and even armor effects. i wont even lie that they would be a huge perk when deciding to buy a new map pack or not. also new name tag
eventually raise the level cap. the way i see it we are all gonna be getting up there and once i reach that peak it would be nice to look upon a new horizon of chalenges.
with the TU update the waypoint website. its great now but i think it has alot of room to grow, mockery is the purest form of flattery and i think a certain other website that used to be all about halo had some pretty good things going for it.
1: Somebody take a crowbar to AL, please. It’s terrible, remove it from all gametypes, except maybe some objective games, or nerf it so it doesn’t frost/doesn’t last as long/has no EMP.
2: Up the damage on the Needle Rifle, the DMR owns it at the moment.
3: Make Active Camo drain slower or not get more visible as you walk, it’s completely useless as it is.
4: Fix the ranking system so it represents skill not time sunk into the game.
Give the option to completely turn off bloom and if thats not possibly give us the option to turn the reset rate as high as we want.
Bring back Camo, OS and Custom powerups, especially for customs
Redo the melee system. Have jumping melees worth more damage than standing. Have melee damage bleed through shields so if theres only 10% shield left the melee does damage to the health or kill if shield is low enough.
Custom individual weapon damage modifiers for custom games
Get rid of Armor lock or make it have a cool down time after each use
Individual Weapon Damage modifiers - There is no reason this can’t happen. There is no downside and it allows for everyone to be happy with the game. This is a must to allow people to play the game the way they want it.
Bloom Toggle - Another must. Many people hate bloom and it is clearly something that can be changed ( modders had removed it from the game in the first month). Its safe to assume that 343 can allow an option to take it out. This doesn’t hurt the game and only adds more customization to the game.
No Bleed Through Gone - This was the worst thing made in the game. It rewards players for just charging you and jamming melee.
Ranking System - Half of this just needs to make it so teams of 4 don’t play 4 people grouped up. Makes games completely unfair. The second part needs to make players play people of a closer skill level. Personally I would live something similar to the arena system but tweaked so it doesn’t promote people stat -Yoink!-.
With those changes I feel reach could easily become a great game.
Add the ability to modify the damage of individual weapons.
Add bleed through damage to melees.
Tweak/remove bloom on precision weapons.
Add a longer fuse to grenades.
Add a ranking system similar to the one used for Halo 2, and tweak social matchmaking so random players don’t get matched up against parties of four or more.
There’s a lot of other things I’d like, but these would make me very happy.
Make forge so you can pick whether everything in forge world is (visually) covenant, human, forerunner, or flood/ example crates blocks etc. also make the terrain inside, snowy, desert, forest
