Your "Top 5" for the Title Update

MISS_GARBAGE · July 9, 2011, 4:21pm

Give a toggle option for bloom or fix the bloom(more difficult)
give an option to change the no bleedthrough
Bring back the Halo 2 ranking system
Somehow give more color to Forge objects. Many maps are just the same grey and blue.
Did i mention something about bloom, because
A BLOOM TOGGLE IS THE BEST THING THIS TU CAN DO FOR REACH.

Whampus · July 9, 2011, 4:22pm

Just fix bloom and im ok.

Toaster_mop · July 9, 2011, 4:24pm

Toggle Bloom
Ranking system and not having teams of 4 against 4 individual players.
Lag on Forge maps fixed
More color on forge maps
Bleed through Melee

system · July 9, 2011, 4:25pm

Make bloom more like it was in Shadowrun.
Give every weapon (except for power weapons) a damage boost, but less aim assist.
Make it so that when you go into armor lock, a fist actually pops out of your TV and punches you in the face.
Keep grenades the same, only make em bounce more consistently and give em a longer fuse.
Boost up the base player speed without hindering the ability to strafe.

oh almost forgot remove fall damage…and again bring back the bleed through melee system!

iBornstellar · July 9, 2011, 4:32pm

Remove Bloom.
No fall damage.
No armor abilities.
No loadouts.
Individual weapon traits.

ClutchPapi34 · July 9, 2011, 4:35pm

Add an option in custom games to turn the bloom off
An actual ranking system so games are a challenge from time to time. Playing people that would be level 30s for hours isn’t very exciting.
Bleed through melee system (at least make it a custom game option). If someone has .001 shields left a melee should do more damage to them (aka a kill) than against someone that has full shields.
Different color forge options so every map isn’t grey.

iHighjynx · July 9, 2011, 4:35pm

Bloom Toggle On/Off
Melee System with bleed through. (The current melee system is just horrendous and not fun at all.)
Ranking system. (It is really dumb how i go into MLG and play with pros then the next game play with kids who just got the game yesterday.)
Each weapon’s damage customizable in forge.
Faster Kill time with DMR (if number 4 doesnt go through).

chabiez · July 9, 2011, 4:39pm

1.) ability to toggle the bloom on/off, or just take it out completely.

2.) bleed through on melee damage (so the person you’re shooting doesn’t have to be 100% no shields before you can melee them for the kill; it is really annoying and slows the game down an incredible amount.)

3.) grenades damage to be tweaked a little, where 1 grenade can’t kill you if you have full shields but red health and maybe the radius of grenade explosions lessened a little.

4.) a number ranking system similar to halo 2’s.

5.) theater should be able to be viewed by a party of 4, the fact that they took that out really makes me wonder…

if even 2 of the things on this list were actually changed it would make the game hundreds of times better than it is in its current state, which is literally unplayable. i don’t know about anyone else but i play for the multiplayer, not the campaign, so if these issues are not addressed i can’t see myself playing reach anymore and more than likely won’t be purchasing any of the future halo titles, which is really unfortunate because h1 and h2 were two of the greatest games of all time in my opinion.

Bloom toggle on/off.
Ranking system would be nice but I honestly don’t care too much if it happens or not.
To me, rockets are just fine the way they are.
Nades are very powerful but idk if a change would be for the better or the worse. Maybe a slight tweak.
Switching weapons faster would be nice too.

system · July 9, 2011, 4:45pm

Take bloom out OR create a toggle in custom settings OR drastically tweak the bloom so that if your keeping a steady shot your bloom wont increase. But if you start to spam the bloom will max out instantly.
IF you weaken snipers against vehicles, put in more anti vehicle weapons.
When you enter armor lock it can’t be used until its fully recharged. Also your shields + recharge rate freeze while in armor lock. This would fix it so your shields don’t start to recharge after a full use of armor lock.
Make a delay coming out of sprint or evade while using Sword/Shotgun/Gravity Hammer.
Other players using Camo should NOT scramble your radar. If a player wishes to use such a powerful AA then only his radar should be scrambled, not his team mates or opponents.

Right now the major issue I see in Reach is bloom. It’s not exactly a bad thing in halo, but it was poorly implemented into Halo. A simple fix in its current state would drastically decrease how much the bloom expands when your pacing your shots. However once you start spamming the bloom would fully expand to max and become less accurate than it is now while spamming.

I still think Bloom would work great in Halo if implemented correctly.

Mintie_Freshh · July 9, 2011, 4:49pm

Ability to toggle bloom on/off in custom settings.
A ranked playlist or two.

EG_Locke · July 9, 2011, 4:51pm

My Top 5 in no particular order

Being able to toggle bloom on/off
Bleed through melees pleaseeeee
Four people being able to watch a film in theater at once
Ranking system just like H2. (It was perfect bring it back please)
When searching alone in matchmaking you should only be able to get matched up agaisnt other singles or smaller parties. Not teams of four.

Dooki3dung · July 9, 2011, 4:56pm

Toggle bloom on/off would definitely make me play this game a lot more. If 343 is to listen to any requests by the community I feel they should at least address this one. Almost everybody I know wants a toggle on/off bloom. Also, 4 player theatre with teamates or friends was always a good time back in H3… Idk why they would take that out… Also a ranking system would be just below the bloom situation. In reach, I just have no motive to play and things get very old very fast. In h3 and h2 I had a motive and even if I lost and ranked down. I would want to try to rank back up and keep playing. I feel this game would be played much more if a ranking system like h3 or h2 would be put back in place. I cant stand playing extremely good kids one game and have a very competitive match and then the next time I am playing against people that have hardely ever played before. It just makes a lot more sense to have a ranking system. I believe if these were implemented into reach, it would make this game tons of more fun to play.

Classic_Jeremy · July 9, 2011, 5:04pm

Mostly everyone is telling 343 to remove bloom, nerf armor lock, bring back higher jumps and vehicles with better health in the the other Top 5 forum but I want this to be about the playlist/gametype additions you would like to see in the title update.

My Top 5

Firefight Versus
VIP brought back
Race playlist with community maps
Community maps added to the Living Dead
Survival Playlist added to Firefight (unlimited waves with ODST settings)

Reduce melee damage to 75%.
Use Halo 2 DLC system: Make it reduced price but mandatory a few months after release.
Prioritize BTB for group versus group. I understand 8 vs 8 is not realistic, but at least try “8 vs 4/4” or “8 vs 5/3”
Reduce vehicle armor penetration from DMR.
Tie Banshee’s barrel roll to it’s energy meter.

Numbers 2 and 3 aren’t really “title updates” but would be nice for matchmaking anyway…

Lehnyyyy · July 9, 2011, 5:24pm

Toggle bloom on/off
4 person theater mode
Ranking system like Halo 2

Blindinggggg · July 9, 2011, 5:29pm

Bloom Toggle On/Off
Grenade Damage Modifiers
Individual Weapon Damage Modifiers in Forge
Armor Ability “Ammo” Modifiers

IcarusLP · July 9, 2011, 5:37pm

Here is my list; from 1 (most wanted) to 5 (least wanted but still very much wanted):

1) Update Living Dead playlist: more maps in this playlist, using Next-gen/Juicy SFX, pestilence + haunted helmet enabled for all zombies, camping spots removed, remove pistol, make ammo obtainable from fallen teammates’ bodies

2) More unlockable stuff in the armory: for example orange, purple and green visor colors, black armor color, green and black helmet flames, ‘Sparks’ armor effect (like Inclement Weather but without the clouds and with the sparks in yellow, make it 1.5 M credits)

3) Post game credit summary when playing in co-op

4) More gametypes that ask for tactical use of the Falcon (capture the flag with a big gap in the map between the flag and base)

5) Remake the super annoying Forge World maps into real, 343 made ones, they’re far too gray

Please consider 343
