Another hater. What a shame. He's most likely not going to buy Reach and miss out on all the fun. Sucks for you! ^_^

although your agruements are so bias, i agree with one thing. they have dumbed it down. by slowing down spartans and makign them not jump as high. in the podcast they said they fixed that by making spartans faster and jump higher. so i have nothing to complain about. and if you are getting pwned by 5 graders who just picked up the game... you just simply suck [Edited on 06.06.2010 7:14 PM PDT]

Play Halo 3, or play the campaign. The game's technically finished. It'll go into production soon and they're not going to read this, stop the machines and change it for you. Sorry

Oh, you must not live in the US. It's for 17+ here. Anyway, I must agree to a certain extent. I'm telling you if we could keep little kids away from this game people would complain less about it.

I do agree that Halo barely falls into the M category. However, I do think it takes skill to be good at Halo. I sucked in Matchmaking at the beginning, and now I laugh watching films of me from a year ago.

Cool story.

Sorry you feel that way. That sucks. Oh well.

I read the first line. Halo is designed to be played by EVERYONE. The ESRB decides after the game is complete who they think should be allowed to buy it.

Complaining is going to get you nowhere in life

Fifth grader with ADD? What kind of parallel is that? Attention deficit disorder has nothing to do with Reach. Just a hater trying to hate.

I've played against newer players and they haven't come anywhere near competing with me or anyone else in the game. Why you think that will happen in reach is beyond me.

Seriously man you are being a pretentious prick, Halo Reach takes just as much if not more skill than halo 3. Wait until a couple days after the full release of the game and then try playing the pros. They will destroy you even more because they'll have adapted to the game and gotten use to the changes. Stop being a jerk and play the full game before making your judgments.

I put an example in there. Me who just picked up the game vs. Halo 3 pros who had been playing all night/day.

lol, this guy this age ratings have to do with how much skill it takes. It has blood, guns, killing, zombies (well in the first 3) and some bad words. So it gets M. The LOWEST you could go is Teen and thats if there is no zombies, bad words, sad endings and the smallest amount of blood that doesn't leave blood marks on the floor.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] stevo RaZoR and if you are getting pwned by 5 graders who just picked up the game... you just simply suck [/quote] Don't go there. In Halo 3, my team and I would win 50-0 most games when we played on fresh accounts. In Reach, it's like 50-30, because of how dumbed down the game is.

See you Sept. 14! You'll be there.

Age =/= Skill. I know a couple of 14 year olds who could dominate many a "pros".

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] vX Marxman Xv Age =/= Skill. I know a couple of 14 year olds who could dominate many a "pros".[/quote] Except no. Because the players I'm talking about are actually contracted MLG pros.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Defense If a game is made for players whom are 17+, why does Reach feel like it was designed for 10 year olds with ADD? Honestly, anyone can pick up this game and do reasonably well. It seems as Bungie is catering to a much younger audience that doesn't have the attention span to learn to play a game well. From in-game randomness such as bloom, over-powered grenades, armor abilities, ect., Halo Reach is simply dumbed down. Bungie, you may as well slap an E rating on this one, because your average fifth grader who just picked up the game can compete with dedicated players. Let's take me for an example: I was able to get on the early release of the beta (Lol), but I was only able to put a reasonable amount of time into the game on Friday (1 day after the beta was released). Luckily, I searched with some extremely talented Halo 3 players whom had spent all day and night playing. Early on while searching, we matched Halo 3 professionals, Enable and Flamesword. In Halo 3, they could have absolutely handed my ass to me. In Reach however, even though they had more than double my playtime, I only went -5, and -4. Honestly, if Reach wasn't catered to 10 year olds with ADD, I would have gone double digit negative. They should have wiped the floor with me, but we tied them once, and only lost by a small margin in the second game. Halo has always been an 18+ game. Sure there are groups like Bungle trying to dumb down the game to the point that a retarded chimp could have an orgasm playing it, but default gameplay is simply too basic. With the skill gap nearly gone, I don't know where to turn. I'm sure I'll get some trolling replies along the lines of "Don't buy it, you won't be missed," but if Reach stays this dumbed down I don't know if I'll purchase it. Default gameplay shouldn't be this basic, and hopefully Bungie will at least allow MLG a way to fix this currently broken game. Bungie, we don't want a game made for the 10 year olds with ADD, this is Halo. They have CoD. I understand this is a business, but simply put, you're ruining your integrity as a gaming developer. I feel like Reach will be a game that nobody will play more than a year, simply because of how basic the gameplay is. And those people that you're catering to, they bought Halo 3. Then, when the next shiny new title came out, they bought that too. I'm sure Reach will break every sales record evar, but that doesn't make it a good game. I can't imagine what this is like for the players who have been around since CE. I played a little Halo 2, and spent way too many hours on Halo 3, but this series is getting continually dumbed down. Regardless, in the slim chance an employee stops what they are doing to read this, good luck with your future projects. Thanks for your time.[/quote] Sorry man you are just bad at the game. It's survival of the fittest. Either you play the game for fun and enjoy it even though you do bad or you hate it because you can't stand losing and can't adapt to the changes. You obviously can't time your shots, which explains your hatred for bloom. You don't read the updates, or else you would've read they decreased the effectiveness of grenades. Lol and armor abilities actually add complexity to gameplay which kills your argument that Reach is too "basic." You know, i have a great game for you that you might enjoy...its called Halo 3 give it a try :)
