Halo 4 Piece

Re: Halo 4 Piece

Imo Reach was trash. I have little faith in the new team to produce a good Halo game, but I'll probably still give it a go for the sake of the first three.

Reach was trash? How so? I thought it was pretty good.

Re: Halo 4 Piece

Not seeing how it was "the biggest pain in the ass to play," but you're also starting from the standpoint that CoD is the benchmark and starting point, when Halo came before it

I dunno I seem to recall that CoD has been around MUCH longer. I still dislike it though because kids are really obnoxious on xbox.

Re: Halo 4 Piece

Reach was a good game but if Halo 2 (the greatest game ever made) deserved a 10/10 score then relatively Reach would get about a 5/10. Halo has gone downhill since it started and they tried to add a bunch of bullshit armor lock, jetpacks, bubbleshields, and regenerators and shit. Also adding bloom in Reach was the worst decision ever.

I just disliked it. I feel like everything past 2 was a step down, honestly. 3 was passable, and once I got used to all the changes it was pretty fun, although I had still enjoyed 2 more. For Reach, the campaign didn't follow the book at all, and the story they came up with to replace it was just garbage. I would've much rather played with Master Chief's first squad as they did their work during the fall, or played through all of the Chief's backstory that they developed throughout the book. As for the multiplayer, I felt like they added and changed too much. The armor abilities are silly (in my opinion, of course), and different loadouts takes away some of the fighting over various weapon spawns, I feel. Also, unlike quite a few people, apparently, I actually enjoyed dual wielding. There were fun combinations you could use to great effect that people seemed to just ignore by and large. They also utterly destroyed some of my favorite weapons as I recall, like the plasma rifle.

Edit: Now that I think about it, they kinda followed the exact same path WoW did. Release was great, people loved it. BC/2 were absolutely amazing, definitely the best of what the game had to offer. WotLK/3 were pretty fun in their own right. They may have felt like a bit of a disappointment, but following acts like BC and 2 is just plain difficult, so kudos to them for still producing something good. Cataclysm/Reach. What the ****. They utterly trashed the series in an effort to make it more accessible or some garbage like that.

Halo came out with the Xbox in about '01, CoD started in '03.

Yet another reason to have no faith in humanity. Take 2 seconds to check wikipedia.

Re: Halo 4 Piece

I was happy with Reach, but once 343 took over the game has been getting disappointing updates, still getting Halo 4 and hoping it's done right.

No idea what you're saying. Removing the bloom made the game 100x better...

Re: Halo 4 Piece

Did they ever come out with the Halo2 remake for xbl arcade?



Pretty stoked for this game, but I also just loving gaming generally.

Re: Halo 4 Piece

Halo started the two-weapon carry fillip in order to accommodate the limitations of console controllers. Chronologically, Reach comes first, then the "core" series. I think ODST is concurrent with either 2 or 3, but in a different theater...not 100% sure. The info is out there, though.

(there's also a Halo 1 anniversary edition that lets you switch between the new and old graphics as a constant reminder that yes, it HAS been ten years)

After playing hundreds of hours with bloom I was used to it enough to prefer it.

I would play if I still played Reach, I still have it and everything, but just don't play it very often anymore, I just spend my days playing FFR and osu
