Your "Top 5" for the Title Update

  1. Rank System
  2. Rank System
  3. Rank System
  4. Rank System
  5. Remove Arena
  1. Removal of Bloom/ Ability to toggle bloom on and off
  2. A 1-50 Ranking system (similar to the Halo 2 ranking system) alongside the current credits system
  3. Fix Theater so that 4 people can watch in the same party
  4. Tone down Grenades
  5. Fix jump height, strafe speed etc. (make similar to H3/H2 spartan mechanics)

Fingers Crossed

  1. Bloom removed
  2. Remove AA
  3. Add H2 ranking system
  4. Edit Spawn system to be more like H2 or HCE
  5. Add glitches that used to be in H2 (BxR, Quad shot, etc.)
  1. Bloom toggle on and off in custom options
    2.H2 ranking system
  2. bleed through beat downs
  3. No falling damage
    5.decrease explosive damage (grenades and rockets are overpowered)

Also, bring back the Flame thrower.

Make it so that you can take a preview picture of a forge map, so that people in the lobby can see it,. It could function the same way the loadout cameras do in forge.

Lastly, DLC armour. bob is cool

=]

1.) Armor lock-just make it custom games/campaign/firefight ONLY.
2.) Snipers as in halo 3-NOT anti vehicle.
3.) no bloom…decrease DMR damage SLIGHTLY
4.)New forge pallete? (variety?) also, fix the stupid system where using one item counts as 1 for every item in that category.
5.)fix scorpian controls…that thing handles like a mo fo.

  1. bloom toggle on/off
  2. bleedthrough enabled
  3. individual percentage sliders for movement speed and armour ability movement (evade/sprint)
  4. Armour lock nerf (only one time use per charge and lasts 0.3 seconds i.e just long enough to block a single hit)
  5. bloom tweak to allow pacing to be rewarded more than spamming unlike the current system
  1. Ranking system (visible)
  2. 4 player theater
  3. weapon damage modifier
  4. a bit more colorful forge world items/structures

hopefully 343i will actually listen to the competitive community a lot more, what do i as a competitive player want from the title update:

  1. No bloom,
  2. Nerf Grenades so they aren’t mini nukes
  3. player movement/jump height needs to be improved so doesnt feel sluggish
  4. The melee system to be fixed - bring bleed through effect back!!!
  5. Competitive maps <-- that are MLG worthy!! (no more forge maps they’re plain ugly and never play well with frame rate issues etc )

fix all the above and halo reach will be the best halo game to date. I just hope that 343i actually care about the competitive gaming community that actually want a game that is enjoyable at a competitive level and not just take an activision approach whereby we’ll fix everything in the next crappy no skill required cod game.

  1. rank numbers to be brought back!!!
  1. ReMoVe the bloom. It’s awful and limited and would be easier to remove it than to fix it to ‘work’. Of course this would also require some work (mainly just changing weapon’s fire rate’s to balance them out more, as I’m sure Bungie created weapon’s power using both how much it bloomed and its fire rate).

  2. Our freaking ranks would be reallllyyy awesome. The new system is limited and nobody likes it… at all. The old 1-50 was the way to go and it worked soooo well. Drop the new system COMPLETELY.

  3. Fix the custom game options that don’t work, such as forging a Juggernaut level, you are unable to place a spawn point for where the juggernaut spawns. I know this seems small but if you guys revive this game, the custom game whores (like myself) will come back too, and little things like this where massive problems for otherwise ingenious gametypes that would’ve been really fun.

  4. AA’s kind of suck. It brings randomness to the table and I liked how everyone was on an even playing field in the previous Halo’s, this kind of ruins that. Fix them or drop them I guess.

  5. DONT require map packs for matchmaking. That is f—ing bullsh–.

If you guy’s DO listen to us now, you guys have to KEEP listening to us. Something Bungie kind of failed at. Make the changes we want (it’s your future too :stuck_out_tongue: )

  1. Bloom toggle or fix
  2. Ranking system, or improve upon the arena idea
  3. Parties in theater
  4. Bleed through. Lets just say getting someone almost one shot then a trade punch so you both are is just retardedly unfair
  5. We can only hope these upcoming maps are good…

I can only think of a few, Im happy with bloom.
in no particular order
1,remove/change armor lock, if kept remove emp damage.
2, remove sword block
3,change melee/bleedthrough
4,show trueskill, dont use it as a ranking system though,I dont miss H3 derankers/boosters.
5, able to have parties in theatre mode

  1. Bloom Toggle or Tweak. Some Rate of Fire would have to be established per gun but maybe we could customize that too!
  2. Nerf either the grenade damage or the fuse timer. The damage is similar to halo 1 but the fuse times are just ridiculous.
  3. Customizable Armor Abilities? How long we can sprint, how many evades per recharge, etc…
  4. HEALTH MODIFIER! This seems like such a basic option to have and would remove the need for individual weapon damage modifiers.
  5. No Bleed Toggle. It’s just not halo and prehaps we can customize it for guns, melees, grenade, etc.

Thanks to 343i for listening and good luck.

  1. Remove bloom - self explanatory, randomness should never be rewarded in a shooter. Nerf the RoF if necessary.

  2. Fix melee - it should bleed through shields, and honestly, I think it should take 3 to kill rather than 2. Just a thought.

  3. Nerf grenade damage - it is just too high compared to the kill time of weapons. Either nerf damage or the radius.

  4. A pro playlist - it would be nice to be able to play something besides MLG with DMR starts, no AAs, and radar off.

  5. Party equalizing - stop allowing parties of 4 to match up against randoms. Match teams based on amount of parties.

Do NOT bring back a ranking system. All it did was promote cheating; it never guaranteed even matches, and never will.

1 - Completely overhaul Invasion. It has so much untapped potential but it’s been neglected. More maps would be great.

2 - DMR and Sniper should not be Anti-Vehicle. At all.

3 - Nerf Armour Lock. No consecutive uses before Cooldown, no Camera movement and if someone sticks you, Armour Lock should not negate it. You should still die.

4 - Bloom. 'nuff said.

5 - Reduce Grenade blast radius.

  1. Toggle Bloom (or fix it so it does it what it’s supposed to)
  2. Decrease damage radius of grenades
  3. Bring back parties in Theater
  4. Remove sword block
  5. Decrease range of ARs

I’ll split this into 2 - since TU and playlist updates are entirely seperate entities.

TU
1 - Alteration to camo AA - I have never understood exactly why a system designed for stealth use in a combat situation is actually MORE of a detriment to its user rather than everyone else. Fine, have it scramble motion trackers for everyone else, but to scramble your own at the same time makes no sense - it knocks out one of the 2 key points of a stealth system, being able to move around others while knowing roughly where they are. Also I fail to understand why camo renders the user totally deaf, this also defeats the key point of stealth, to move around the battlefield, while listening for sounds to help you plan your strike.

2 - Nuke-nades (aka fragmentation and plasma grenades), something we yelled at Bungie to fix over a year ago in Beta, when we realised that one of those babies could probably have roughly the same effect on Hiroshima as the Enola Gay’s payload did!

3 - Severe overhaul to the Forge system, more than 1 palette for building blocks, structural pieces for use in pre-made campaign based maps, more decorative items for usage (inc but not limited to - dummy weapons and armour pieces, corpses (grim I accept but also valid, think how much better Infection maps could be for example), furniture, gun racks, etc.

4 - More resilient vehicles - as it stands it is almost as if vehicles are made from paper - even the Scorpian. Pipe dream I grant, but I would love to see the Chopper and Hornet come back.

5 - A Real custom games lobby, where we can just match make for custom games - all we would need to do is choose the game variant, and then join a group waiting to run that game - or create the game and wait for players to join.

6 (I’m over by one, but that is kind of a major one) - Theatre mode fix. Currently only 1 person can view a video in Theatre, where as before you could have a party all watch simultaneously.

Playlist (this might actually be more than 5, but as playlist should be a lot easier to do, and over time)
1 - Return of the VIP game type. Also Juggernaut (if it is still around I have not seen it in a long time)

2 - More maps for playlists, there are thousands and thousands of maps on FileShare - it would not be that much hassle to throw a few new ones in to all playlists each month.

3 - Return of the weekend special playlists from Halo 3 (albeit without GrifBall or Infection every 3 weeks since they both finally have their own playlists), such as Fiesta, brawl, etc.

4 - Race playlists, free for all and team based, using different vehicles, as well as Mongoose. Again plenty of maps and game variants on FileShare to make it easier to do.

5 - Vehiclular combat (including aerial and dog-fighting) - FileShare again has game variants and maps for this stuff.

6 - Bigger Action Sack playlist, in terms of game types and maps. Also 12 and 16 player Action Sack lists (and free for all ones as well). Would love to see a lot of the Halo 3 Action Sack game types also come back in for Reach.

7 - Removal of AL from all playlists, barring FireFight, Campaign and Invasion.

  1. No bloom or playlists without bloom.
  2. A decent number of playlists with no AA’s

If Halo 4 has mandatory bloom and idiotic AA’s like AL I will not buy it.

I played over 1,000 games of Halo 2 and 10,000 games of Halo 3 but I’m done with Reach after less than 1,000 games, the bloom and other BS that happens in Reach online means it just isn’t fun.
