The three things Reach NEEDS changed to be the Halo game it should be

Now first off, this is going to be somewhat of a wall, and heres a little backround on me. I bought a 360 simply because of the FIRST cutscene of Halo 3, I was at my friends house and he showed me it, I couldnt play PS2 any more I bought an xbox, that was in 2007 the day Halo 3 came out. I was addicted, I origonally didnt have live, so naturally I bought CE, and 2 and beat the campaigns in order. I was flabergasted. I am the campaign guy to my friends, I have beat the Halo 3 campaign on legendary for them and couldnt stop playing the 3 campaign. Now reach have an amazing campaign, but alas it didnt have the repalay value the other 3 had. H3s mission The Ark and The Covenant were simply put amazing I couldnt stop playing them and Reach is good but theres no standout missions IMO but thats not why Im posting Im doing this because there are 3 enormous problems in my eyes that need to be fixed: [b]1. Reason for playing[/b] I mean its self explainatory, Halo 3 had a rank system that worked something that had prestige (omg cod word) but having a 50 in halo for the most part ment something. In reach whats the point? i can play gruntpockalypse and get roughly 2x the credits in half the time, There is absolutely no drive for multiplayer for me rank wise. The credits for multiplayer arent the same as firefight so why get angry in multi when i can get easy ones in firefight, that needs to be changed Arena system is awful, I dont play it why should I? I think you need to have an overall reach rank and that needs to be shown at all times like when you play competitive so you actually have some presige with your rank. Thats something that needs to be changed for me to have drive to play. [b]2. The maps[/b] Good god there are so few and most of them arent good, now Im not saying I want new maps, I want the old ones back. Guardian, Last Resort, Construct, and High Ground need to come back, Some of the best maps of all time. These maps get old too easy, its the same look of all the forge world maps, they just arent the same and their boring to play. Thats one thing that really kills the game too, I played H3 RELIGIOUSLY for two years and off and on for the last one. H3s maps were oodles and oodles of fun and these maps, are boring, bland and most of all lame....Bring our old maps back! [b]3. Balance[/b] Lets be honest Bloom needs to go away I want my solid reticule like I had in H3 and for the love of god fix armour lock, if you use it you have to go full time, there its balanced not that hard. Thats all that needs to be said about that Now for everyone who didnt read [b] Short Version [/b] Muliplayer needs to be more competitive, New maps, and old ones, And most of all balence [b]One More Thing[/b] [i]Quitting is too prevalant and the quit ban just isnt working, ive been quit banned, There NEEDS to be a Cr drop when you quit start off at say 100 Cr and the more you quit that number goes up, See how few rage quit when that happens...that could literally save this game because I cant recall the last time I played a game without someone quitting[/i] So for all who read thank you, please rate, comment, and subscribe ect... and for anyone saying go play Halo 3 Then Im going to, and when I get black ops in a week it gets retired again until reach is fixed, This BTW is all coming from a Bungie Fan boy FYI.

Some 40-50 players were good, some were awesome, and some sucked. And there were a LOT of players ranked in that area over time. However, I do have some suggestions to what you mentioned that I do agree with: that there is little incentive for many players to want to keep playing (not everyone cares about a imaginary title to make us keep playing, but that's neither here nor there). - Provide a bonus for games won, in ratings and credits, especially in multiplayer. - Provide a small bonus for games played consecutively with the same teammates in credits. - [b]Allow an icon to be shown on a players gamertag which represents the highest arena season they have ever completed.[/b] No matter what season, playlist or rating your in, if your best ranking was silver, we'll all know. [quote] [b]2. The maps[/b] Good god there are so few and most of them arent good, now Im not saying I want new maps, I want the old ones back.

I'd love some old maps, especially the ones you mentioned. But Reach is going to have to be it's own with something new. And the current developer forgeworld maps are some of the most amateur I've seen, which I hate to say. Lets see what the Noble pack and the Forgetacular contests are going to bring to the table. [quote] [b]3. Balance[/b] Lets be honest Bloom needs to go away I want my solid reticule like I had in H3 and for the love of god fix armour lock, if you use it you have to go full time, there its balanced not that hard. Thats all that needs to be said about that [/quote] Wholeheartedly disagree with your suggestion for bloom. You want your solid reticule back, play another game that has it. Because many of us are enjoying Reach just the way it's weapons are. The only changes I might suggest, though, are to make the bloom rate increase dramatically as non-timed shots (read, spamming) are fired in succession. Basically, you try to spam the dmr (instead of switching to a magnum, AR, etc), and you'll have less chance to hit. I'd also fix it so that movement alters bloom more, so you don't have a solid reticule with the first shot while jetpacking, jumping, etc. [quote] [b]One More Thing[/b] [i]Quitting is too prevalant and the quit ban just isnt working, ive been quit banned, There NEEDS to be a Cr drop when you quit start off at say 100 Cr and the more you quit that number goes up, See how few rage quit when that happens...that could literally save this game because I cant recall the last time I played a game without someone quitting[/i] [/quote] Don't have it happen to me very often. But I will only go into team games with one or more friends who I know personally. I don't believe in soloing a team sport, and those whose 'friends' quit on them mid-game need to raise the bar on what counts as a friend, in my opinion.

I tried it, and it made me realize just how good Reach really is. All I got to say is, watch out for the tears in the maps and glitching, don't mind that ranks mean nothing as well, and your going to love rifle recoil. Oh, and the spawn system is just 'lovely'. Hahahahah .... your so screwed.[/quote]Pretty much what this guy said.
