I’ll start off by saying that I really enjoy playing reach. However, some things do lessen the experience:
Graphics are just too much for the Xbox360. I can’t count the number of times I’ve died because the frame-rate dropped to ridiculous levels. This happens mostly on forged maps (even the maps provided at launch, like assylum). I doubt this is something that can be addressed in an update, but I had to mention it.
Bloom. Ah yes, bloom. I don’t necessarily hate it. But possibly the following tweaks.
Incredibly high probability that your shot will end up going somewhere in your reticule where there are no enemies (~99).
Can never get a headshot by spamming. That is, your reticule has to be completely on the opponent’s head.
Damage to vehicles with sniper/dmr is just crazy. Vehicles are no longer feared!!
Plasma launcher is now only good for vehicles, yet it appears in 4v4 MM.
Movement speed and jump height could use a slight bump. There are some nice jumps in some maps that just can’t be used because of the current settings.
Toggle Bloom Option with percent increments. When it is off/0% all precision weapons are 100% accurate and fully auto weapons always stay at maximum bloom. (so you can’t cross-map with the AR).
Option to toggle Bleedthrough damage on melee’s and headshots.
Option to change player health resistance. The DMR kills in too few bodyshots currently.
Increase strafe acceleration. Strafing and movement in general is too awkward in this game.
Halo 3 1-50 + playlist progression system to go along with cR system. 1-50 so players get good matches, and playlist ranks based off of wins (ex: recruit- 1 win, Inheritor - 3000 wins.)
Make vehicles stronger (Invasion: Spire will need something new (laser, plasma launcher,…) to deal with the banshee/falcon though)
Do NOT remove bloom. It is a great addition to the game. Tweaks would be welcome
Some new armor options might be cool
Don’t screw up what is working well (although I admit that is a bit vague)
Overall, Reach has been my favorite Halo yet, and I’ve played every one of them. Loadouts, bloom, invasion, the armory and daily challenges are all great additions to the franchise!
Remove or have the ability to toggle the bloom. I think its safe to say that the majority of us hate it. It just makes the game boring because of how lame it is.
Fix the assists.
Fix the melee system. ( Halo 3’s was way better)
Less splash damage if possible. Grenades and Rockets are way too overpowered.
Remove fall damage. & more than 1 person in theatre!
