- The melee needs to be fixed.
- Faster movement speed. The feel of the Team Classic playlist is nice. I wish all game types felt like that.
- Customizable button settings. Especially with Armor Abilities being integral to the game, it would be nice to have fully customizable buttons.
- Control option to turn off the Aim Acceleration. Aiming seems to go from not responsive enough to way too responsive. I just want it to be smooth.
- I guess tweak bloom, although I am afraid they will just screw it up worse. I will go down forever saying that the DMR is way more predictable (thus better) than the crappy H3 BR. In a perfect world, the H2 post patch BR would be back, but that’s not gonna happen.
- Weapon Lowering over xbox live
2)Weapon Lowering over Xbox live

> 3. all the characters from RvB and Halo3:ODST are now available as firefight voices
> 4. firefight voices now play during regular multiplayer gameplay

#5= hell no. Big Bro Slayer mistake. Nuff Said.
My top 5 for the Title Update (in no particular order):
-
Help provide higher levels of connection protection for lower level connections along the servers. Can’t begin to say how annoying it is to have someone lag out of a match.
-
No bloom. Please.
-
I need Vidmasters. Again, please.
-
Bring on Black flame armor effect.
-
Firefight voices of RVB or LEEEEEEEERRRROOOOOOYYYYYY JJJJEEEEEENNNNNNKKKKKIIIIIINNNNSSS.
- Better network stability.
- No bloom.
- Sprint as a default action, not an AA.
- FF disabled in matchmaking - optional in custom games
- Increase assault rifle strength
- No bloom on the DMR/Pistol
- Melee speeds need to be reduced
- Sniper/DMR damage on vehicles needs to be decreased.
- 1-50 back
- Grenades less powerful
- Remove/Fix bloom
- 1-50 ranking system
- Nerf AL (shorten duration, remove rotating camera, remove frosting, no more shedding stickies)
- go back to H3 melee system
- Add 2 rounds to the pistol
Finally my chance!
-
Bloom toggle on/off switch in game options for precision weapons
-
Indivdual weapon traits
-
Ranked 1-50 playlists
-
More classic settings (ex. no fall damage, no bleed through, weaker grenades, etc.)
-
Make it to where when we grab on overshield or any form of it our sheils glow like in previous halo’s
Thats my Top 5!
Please and Thank You!
Scratch #5 I want the Battle Rifle back if you can bring it back. PLEASE
Make the warthog let bouncy unless hit by a concution rifle.
Remove banshee bomb, Double power of plasma guns on it.
Make the shade turret turn faster and give full cover to the person in it in maps (not the story).
Add way more custom game options.
I only have three requests:
- More forge options like a finer adjustment system that goes to .01 or better.
- More custom game options.
- Nerf Armor Lock.
I honestly don’t mind bloom but if everyone wants it gone then maybe a better classic playlist without bloom and armor effects. Thats just my suggestion. Everything about Reach in my opinion is just fine.
90% of the posters ITT hate bloom. I love it.
- fix the stupid “respawn in 0” 5 seconds later…“respawn in 0” in invasion
- vip return
- more spawns in all invasion maps
- fix bulitrue but still death when playing infection
- fix round not ending when all zombies are dead and they only had one life
1: VEHICLE DAMAGE : I am so sick of driving in a banshee then ‘Pew pew pew pew’ 4 shots with the sniper and I’m dead. DMR and Sniper should NOT do so much damage to vehicles.
2:BLOOM : I’m not saying take it out of the game, Just make it optional.
3: ARMOR LOCK : It’s just completely overpowered. 1st - You’re invincible. 2nd - You regain health while in it. 3rd - You can look around while you’re in it. Either take it out of the game, or just don’t make it usable in EVERY SINGLE PLAYLIST.
4 : A NEW RANKING SYSTEM : This whole ‘TrueSkill’ thing is total bull. I mean, me and my friend are ranked like 70+ so that means we only get people ranked like 20 and stuff on our team, and that means basically they do terrible and WE have to carry our whole team.
5 : STUPID FIRST STRIKE : This isn’t THAT big of a problem, but I mean when I get a Killimanjaro or something in a game, when people press select, I am SO sick of ‘2 killing sprees’ and ‘first strike’ Showing over it!
(6) : FILESHARE : What I absolutely LOVED doing in Halo 3 was scroll through peoples Fileshare and laugh at the pictures or download them because I thought they were cool. I think it’s SO stupid how you are full on NOT allowed to look at them when it’s found players. When else am I going to be able look through peoples fileshares?!
(7) MORE ARMOR VARIATIONS AND CUSTOMIZABILITY : Well, the first part speaks for itself. But one thing I LOVED in Halo 3 was how your secondary armor color used to show regardless if you were on the Red or Blue team.
This is a little more than 5 things, but these are all needed:
-
Bloom. As you see, nobody likes it’s current system. At minimum, you have to at least fix it. It doesn’t do it’s job right now. You can also take it out completely, which is what I would prefer. Bloom just doesn’t seem Halo to me. Also, you can fix bloom AND create playlists or custom game options without bloom.
-
Grenades. They are miniature nukes. Halo seems like Call of Duty 4 now with the 3 frag perk. Most of the games I play, people just spam grenades. They are way too powerful. They need to do less damage. I think they should do as much damage as a melee strike, just enough to take down your shields fully or kill an unshielded opponent. They also need to be made more bouncier, like the Halo 3 grenades.
-
MELEES. Holy Jesus Christ. Nerf them. 2 hit melee kill WITH a melee lung. Not fun. Majority of the games I play include AT LEAST 1 person who throws on sprint everytime and runs and double melees everyone. Make it so it takes 3 hits to kill someone, or completely get rid of the lunge. Another option, if not to nerf the melee hits, is to bring back bleed through like in Halo 3. Do you have any idea how annoying it is to shoot a guy 3 times with a DMR and then bash him while only taking his shields down, when he sprints up to you and bashes you while doing the same thing.
-
Armor Lock and Jet Pack. Armor Lock needs to be taken out. At the least, it should be nerfed and only last a couple seconds, long enough to withstand a rocket, sword strike, FRG round, or the like. Jet Pack needs to also be nerfed. I liked the earlier idea of it turning into a double jump device, or having your gun at full bloom while jet packing. The recharge rate could also be slowed down and the burn rate could be increased.
-
Banshees. They are the most over powered objects in any Halo game. If you hop in a Banshee, you are now God. You are GUARANTEED some sort of kill streak in them, simply due to banshee tricks. What should happen is Banshee bombs should be nerfed, and please, for the love of God, make the Banshee tricks use up the boost bar. It is so annoying to have a whole 6 rockets from a rocket hog miss because someone in the Banshee just spams the left bumper.
-
Ranking System. The current ranking system does not work. I do like the 1-50 ranking system, and I would like to see it return greatly, but I would also like some tweaking to be done with it to make it more accurate if possible. If not, any ranking system is better than the current one.
-
Active Camo scrambler. Take it out. With this, people can go completely invisible AND be COMPLETELY undetected on radar, giving nobody within radar range of them any chance on finding them and completely messing up everyone around them who uses their radar.
-
Bulltrues on Infection. If I bulltrue someone, that means I killed them while they were lunging at me. As in they didn’t reach me. I don’t want to die when I kill someone who hasn’t even hit me.
-
Betrayal Booting. TURN IT BACK ON IN INFECTION. Thank you.
-
If possible, add some decent looking chests into the armory. The Halo 3 chests were all mostly very well made, while not a single chest in Reach fully pleases me.
-
Movement. Your players movement is very sloppy, slow, and seemingly uncoordinated. It would be nice if that was fixed.
-
Sword Block. It is SOOOOO annoying when playing Infection to completely surprise an enemy and FINALLY catch that 1 camper in a corner off guard, just to have him spam the right bumper and block your hit, then proceed to shotgun you point blank and then -Yoink!- your corpse like a British person at high noon.
-
Fix the AR’s damage. It is WAYYYY too weak in it’s current state. It can not kill ANYTHING. Period. I refuse to play any game with AR starts, since you get 3 mags in all, and it basically takes a whole mag to kill someone.
-
Warthog Health. Buff it up a little bit and fix some of the physics with it please.
-
4 player theater mode pl0x.
Well folks, thats about it for my list, which is more of a rant of why Reach sucks.
I don’t have 5 things I want in the title update. Just one, I would love to have party viewing back in theater. I was super bum out that I could not show of my films unless I put it in my file share for my friends to download. That’s about it for me. I know Microsoft put Halo in the right hands and am excited to see what 343i has in store with the Halo community.
Fix vehicles so they’re like in Halo 3, tough, but not overpowered.
Armour lock - remove shield recharge.
Give DMR bloom more like the Needle Rifle
More custom games settings/VIP gametype - all of Halo 3’s features + more. e.g percentages for alpha zombies.
Wider Armoury.
-K-
Remove bloom
Remove AA’s
Fix big party matching in BTB
Change fuse timer on grenades (longer) or decrease splash damage from grenades
Remove glowing blue heads on players (come on people)
My “Top 5” for the Title Update:
1.) Armor Lock modification.
2.) Bleed Through system with shielding.
3.) Nerfed Banshee Bomb AoE.
4.) Vehicle Health system similar to Halo 3.
5.) Removal of Grenade Magnetism. (Grenades… Shouldn’t… Roll… Up… Ramps…)
-
Fix bloom. Personally I’d like to see it gone completely on all precision weapons, but what matters most is the increased consistency of the weapon. If I’m spamming somebody at close range (in which spamming is the most effective tactic), I might kill in five shots, or I might kill in ten, regardless of my aim. It’s most egregious on the DMR, but frankly I’m not a fan of it on the Pistol either. Obviously the max rate of fire should be lessened to compensate. If you don’t want to implement these changes, then the OPTION to remove bloom on all precision weapons would be awesome.
-
Allow us to modify traits for weapons, melee and grenades. I personally think that the Shotgun shouldn’t do quite so much damage, and the Pistol should have a larger clip. The OPTION to alter damage, rate of fire and clip size for (if not all, then most of) the weapons in the game, as well as a couple of settings for grenades would be awesome. Melee lunge distance, ‘rate of fire’ and bleed through options would be appreciated also. If any such change were to be implemented into MM, my most wanted would be the toning down of grenades. In earlier games, the grenades had great physics and a fairly small blast radius that meant they took a fair amount of skill to place under an opponent’s feet. It’s much easier to get successful with grenade spam now due to the large radius and lack of bounciness.
-
Speed and jump height. In past games I felt like such a beast, shooting through the map and freely jumping over obstacles. What other modern FPS has a high jump height? It’s one of the things that made Halo fun - you were a Spartan! Now I feel sluggish. Maybe acceleration should be increased as well. I’d like strafing to be a viable tactic again, as well as jumping over players’ heads and backsmacking them. This is more a request for the playlists than the TU, but maybe one or two more OPTIONS in the movement category (like acceleration) would be nice.
-
Ranking. The Arena rating system doesn’t seem to play a part in anything any more, but I’d like to see deaths weighted equal to kills at last. Currently, somebody with 20 kills and 29 deaths would get a higher rating than somebody with 10 kills and zero deaths. That’s just silly. More importantly, I’d like a persistent skill value system over a division/season system. I don’t feel as though I have any long-term, overarching goal in this game like I did in H2 and H3 - cR really means nothing to me, and so I’ve got no real motivation to play (besides having fun, of course, but a good ranking system can augment that). A single number that goes up and down based directly on whether you win or lose, and changes after every game you play, is a simple but powerful system that I would like to see return.
-
Kill times. The weapons aren’t weak as such, but the small clip sizes, bloom, and presence of armour abilities seem to slow combat down too much. It’s easy to Sprint, Armour Lock or Evade out of danger. I would like to see the gameplay become a bit snappier. Obviously this isn’t easy to objectify, but it’s just a general feeling I have.
PS. These are in a particular order. Number 1 is my most wanted change, and number 5 my least wanted change.
PPS. Whilst I would like to see these changes in MM, as long as they’re present as custom game options I’ll be happy.
PPPS. If you (343) have read this, may I just thank you for doing so. There are an awful lot of posts in this thread, so I really appreciate you getting this far! And thanks for even giving us a TU in the first place.
