1.)Fix Bloom or completely get rid of it.
2.) Bring back headshot damage from original
3.)Remove Armor Abilities
4.)Bring Group Theatre mode
5.) Dual Wield
-
A slightly tweaked Bloom, I still want Bloom just more like the BETA.
-
Armor Lock, is out, gone, no more.
-
New Weapon spawns, like how on Ivory Tower Red Team is given Rockets off the start… NOT COOL, and the shotgun on Countdown.
-
Four shot DMR not Five shot… to long of Kill times.
-
More Forge World Maps in all Playlists.
-
nerf grenades they are beyond rediculous
-
Armor lock, nerf it somehow or get rid of it Its a huge problem with Reach.
-
Bloom, that needs to be fixed so that better players who time their shots get the kill and spammers dont.
4.Similiar ranking in each match, I dont want to be stuck in a game where i destroy them and I dont want to be stuck in a game where I get destroyed.
- Grenade launcher,alien grenade laucnher(cant think of the name but its the one that shoots the red things very fast). It probably should go with the grenades but I cant think of anything else but they are pretty much unstoppable when you are close.

Actually… Scratch 3,4,and 5…
Armor abilities keep a good pace, but i wouldn’t like to see it much in competitive game types. Sprint would probably be an exception. Also, group theatre shouldn’t even need to be put up. that should have been self-implied. i dont know why it was taken out to begin with. and dual wield… eh… i can sense it being too cheap with Reach physics. instead i’d go with
3.)Fix the whole melee and shield system
4.)Nerf the Grenades
5.)Create a better ranking system and ranked playlist. Also… New Armor Maybe???
Time to dream.
- Bloom removal or complete reworking.
- Ranked matchmaking.
- Nerf Grenades
- Melee Bleedthrough
- Rebalance armor abilities.
My top 5 for the title update for CEA
-
Bloom disabled on classic mode when the CEA playlist is out.
-
Armor abilities all disabled except maybe sprint, jetpack (preferbly not), bubble shield, and evade (for elites)
-
Higher jumping and faster walk speeds like halo 1/2
-
Weapon damage tweeks ( Pistol 3 shot, AR with 60 round clip.)
-
Shield changes to make similar to Halo 1 such as melee bleed through.
All changes to be avaliable in custom settings would also be nice.
These are my top 5. Remember the title update is just to set the game to work with halo CEA. Not to “fix” reach itself.
Im tired of everyone complaining to remove or nerf armor lock, yes it annoying at times but to be honest its like saying theyre going to have a title update to remove a weapon or a brand new feature. Armor lock and bloom will never be removed! Bloom could have a feature to disable it and maybe it may be like that in a MM maps, but never removed. Armor lock on the other hand is a key feature in reach. Its important to the game and honestly if it was gone i would feel a bit of absence. I never use it but its something that makes reach what it is. Thank you.
while you guys are sitting here cry about stuff in a game that you still play no matter what, you should be coming up with something that they should add, more then take out. like more armor, or a continue in the ranks. i don’t know if you notice but there are a lot of people that are at the last rank and has everything unlocked. we are just stocking up Cr don’t you think we should be adding more stuff?

i agree, but thats something that should come into a top DLC list.

I agree aswell. As much as i love new armor, i’d have a much better time playing the game rather than customizing myself.
-
Removal of Yoinking (or at least making it count for the assassin rather than the kid looking for a handout. It takes skill/luck for those assassinations and having someone jack it last second is frustrating as heck. Seriously, was Bungie promoting being a complete jerk?)
-
Eliminate terrible Forge maps (Uncaged, Asylum etc) and put in the actual good ones.
-
Add Firefight Forge maps (If Multiplayer gets it, so should FF)
-
Eliminate Invasion Slayer (Skirmish is fine)
-
INSTALL A RANKED MATCHMAKING SYSTEM! Or at least allow a search option of “no guests”. This would make everyone happy.
5.) Armour Lock… Need I say more…
4.) Lots of RANKED playlists.
3.) Fix the DMRs close to mid range bloom to eliminate randomness.
2.) Fix Grenade Physics. They just don’t bounce like they should. Heck, sometimes they don’t even bounce. H3 grenades were perfect…
And my No.1…
1.) Please, please, please nerf the tactical nukes… oh wait! I mean frag grenades…
I agree with OP’s revised points, mostly. However, I wish they could add a REAL ranked playlist with those tweaks.
1-50 would be amazing, but just adding a tweaked ranked playlist would be great.
most of these “fixes” I’ve read can be accomplished in two easy steps…
- Remove Halo Reach from your disc tray.
- Insert Halo 3.
as for my top 5…
-
Make the warthog heavier!!! its not made of carbon fiber and full of helium… it’s a huge machine full of heavy spartans!
it’s a ground vehicle, it should stay on the effing ground! I could strap a machine gun to the top of my VW Golf and it would be more stable! -
Remove the infinite twisty-turniness of the banshee, two flips per 6.5 seconds or something, reduce the banshee bomb blast radius, but keep it’s effectiveness on vehicles.
-
Expand the arena and add a more diverse, immediate ranking system.
-
Add more armory items.
-
Increase Cr payout and increase Commendation payout.
-
No shield recarge in armor lock
-
Add Bleed through melees
-
Add more stuff in the armory
-
Remove the yoink medal
-
Increase Shotgun Damage
- no rotation out of AL
- Banshee roll uses half of boost energy
- create a set max rate of fire for dmr to prevent spamming and make it a true marksman rifle
- Buff up the AR
- stronger frag, but more delay before detonation for balance
1.) New Armor
2.) If the DMR does need to be tweaked, then tweak it. 
3.) Level system for each playlist? or Rank?
4.) More Accomendations
5.) Different Challenges
and to add to what i said, lose the arena, but make the divisions for every playlist. such as an onyx in BTB and a gold in Team Slayer. it will give a more accurate representation of one’s skill rather than time spent playing to rank up
The only thing I want fixed is party matching.
If I’m searching by myself in BTB (or any playlist for that matter) don’t match me with 7 other people searching by themselves and then a party of 8 on the other team. It sucks in any gametype. If you can party match in Squad Slayer it shouldn’t be too hard to change all other playlists (non-FFA) to do the same thing.
Everything else (bloom, Armor Lock, ranking system, and even spawning with Active Camo) I can deal with.
In reply to the Orginal Poster:
I think vehicles with tires can reasonbly be taken out with sniper because two shots to a tire should blow out your tire…
But changes Id like to see:
-
More balanced weapons… make it more like Halo 2 ( everyone used nearly all weapons on the map ! ) … Also nerf Sniper in distances less then 3 feet… Sniper shouldnt beat sword or shotgun at a distance of a couple feet…Adjustment to DMR Bloom, and lets lower the number of times a laser can be used… it should have 2 or 3 shots max… its being used more like a sniper in most games…
-
Return of 1 to 50 ranking, but keep the betrayal boot, keep the 10 minute penalty if you drop out of games too much… People complaining about the 10 minute penalty… i mean if you’re going to quit for ANY LEGITAMATE reason you dont need to play in ten minutes anyways…
-
Either nerf some Armor abilities or add playlist that let you play with or without…
-
Removal of super slow mobility while wielding flame thrower or turret…etc… Spartans have super human strength… during WW2 flamethrowers weighed as little as 40 pounds back then… a Spartan should be able to wield heavy weapons no problem… afterall a spartan can flip over a 2000 pound warthog, and even a 50 ton tank…
thats it for me
All I want is to play as an Elite.
