Come at me bro![/quote]Similar to Halo 2 and Halo 3, maybe. But it botched it's attempt to be close to CE when it didn't fully restore the plasma pistol, the plasma rifle, or the needler (hell it didn't even try to restore the needler, Halo 3 did that). And when it continued Halo 2/3's damage sponge enemies. I don't mind the pistol being relegated to sidearm, but these 3 weapons deserve much more effort and the AI should have been smart like in CE, without handicaps.[/quote] So basically you want a re-make of CE.

Reach wasn't meant to be CE 2, it was meant to be an accumulation of the best bits of all the previous games. If they'd modeled it solely on CE, you'd have people -blam!-ing that it wasn't like halo 2 or 3 enough. They made what they thought was the perfect halo game. Granted, no game is perfect and reach does have it's flaws, but not really any more so than previous games. It's not their fault that they couldn't accommodate the wants/desires of millions of fans simultaneously. Edit: I'll put it this way, a lot of the flaws in reach are down to ones perception of the game, rather than actual bugs/glitches and poor gameplay. I know people who say reach is a bad game simply because it's too hard for them on normal, doesn't make the game itself bad. Reach's gameplay is good, it just executes differently to the way some may prefer it. Also what does everyone have against emile? He was one of my preferred characters. Much better than Jun, who had hardly any character development, even over the course of nightfall, making him seem really shallow. [Edited on 09.17.2012 7:50 PM PDT]
