I miss Halo...
Reach is beyond frustrating to play because of the maps, settings, and overall slow gameplay, so I've been playing a lot of Halo 3 lately. Although it can be fun, there are also so many things frustrating with it like cheaters, bad maps and spawns, lousy weapons, and connection problems that are a turn off.
So to restate the title, I miss Halo, specifically the glory days of Halo 2 multiplayer. Back when gameplay was fast and intense and the maps were fun to play on.
As we near Halo 4's release date and more info is released, I just can't help but dim my eyes and frown with a sour disgust as my favorite gaming franchise takes a turn for the worst. H4 is straying from what made the originals so great and it's going to be one cluttered mess of unnecessary bells and whistles.
Perhaps it's time to just...move on?
p.s. XBC don't work for me :(

Halo 4 will be fine, if you don't think it'll be a success then get into a new gaming franchise.

[/quote] How so? From what i know zelda has always been about fighting your way through dungeons collecting and upgrading your weapons and fighting unique bosses. Elder scrolls is moving through with a unique levelling system playing your character how you want too. Pokemon is choosing a monster, levelling it up and catching new ones, and using them to progress until you become the champion. They have stayed consistent for a long while now.

Oh look, it's this thread again.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Quantam [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] rejected1s i just read the whole damn thread and i have to say, I'm not sure why people think change for the sake of change is good. i truly don't. if you want to explain it to me that would be lovely.[/quote] It is better than playing the same thing over and over again. My favorite game is Halo 2. But I want Halo 4 to be new, because the last 4 games have been based on Halo 2. Halo 3 was very similar to Halo 2, ODST was Halo 3.5, and Reach was similar to Halo 3, regardless of the changes in physics and armor abilities. Halo CE and Halo 2 were very different games, Halo 2 was hated for that fact, but it turned out to be a great success anyway. [/quote] ODST was a campaign based expansion to 3, and reach was hardly similar to 3. halo 2, while hated it at least continued the same core gameplay the prior game was based off. if change just for the sake of change is good then no one will be complaining when halo 5 turns out to have ditched the fps genre for a racing type multiplayer right? with nukes as well of corse.

Game nights can make even Reach fun, although i still feel a lot like you.

I used to buy live for Halo 3, not anymore. Don't get me wrong if I had live I would play it but I can't justify the purchase anymore, other online games just don't come close.

I hope that Bungie's next game will fill us with the sasme joy that Halo did

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] A 3 Legged Goat cheaters, bad maps and spawns, lousy weapons, and connection problems that are a turn off. [/quote] 1) There are hardly any cheaters left in H3. 2) Agreed 3) Needler/AR 4) Oh Mexican host?

I don't even know why I play Reach anymore. Honestly I'm just doing it for commendations and I doubt I'll be done by the time Halo 4 is released.

Eh I missed Halo, but I've gotten over it. I've realized that the old fans will never get the game that they want, because Halo was yesterdays flavor and gimmicky, unbalanced, modern FPS titles are today's.

Actually, I consider Halo Wars tied with best multiplayer. [/quote]When they made CEA, why didn't they put Halo CE's multiplayer on Xbox Live? Instead they just went with the weird version of Reach multiplayer. I don't get it, somebody at their studio needs a stern talking to.[/quote] Because CE MP was [b]never[/b] developed for online play. Bungie has explained this to death over multiple years on the old CE forum. It would have required an entire retool of the game to make it play properly on a P2P MP system.[/quote]So? They decided to retool the entire single player game anyway. Why wouldn't they retool the multiplayer while they were at it? Instead they changed Reach's multiplayer.[/quote] Retool? They didn't retool squat. They added a coat of paint to it and a hint of extra content. Not the same thing as redoing the game from the ground up.

It's no use Goat, go play PC or H2V. Let 343 and their twelve year old fanbase sodomize modern Halo.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] pwnage79 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Sh1n1ng Wolf I don't get why we can't have both AAs and equipment. Bubble Shield clearly was more balanced than Drop Shield when only one person had it.[/quote] Because AAs sucked. Not to mention the gameplay was heavily based on them. Equipment was added and balanced in a way that it was fun, fresh, kept that distinctive Halo gameplay, and added a new layer of skill and strategy.[/quote]Uh, not really. Equipment was barely used in addition to not being viewable on player models, so no one could really account for them until they were used. The same applies for non jetpack AA's, but most people use sprint (the only problem of which comes from double melee), Active Camo is only OP when paired with 1sk weapons, and AL is completely worthless except in the once in a blue moon scenarios of someone actually going for a splatter or falling for an emp melee counter, so it's not too big of a surprise as to what AA is going to be used. Drop Shield, on the other hand, affects a wide area, multiple team mates, and is insanely good for setting up damn near unbreakable defenses on objectives. It also renders bullet based weapons useless while it's active, bringing long ranged combat to a screaching halt unless someone has a long range plasma or explosive weapon, so it would actually be better suited as a pick up. Oh, and Sprint was the best thing to happen to Halo since the CE pistol. Take that as subjective, obviously, but moving at a slow walking speed prior to Reach (and outside the MLG playlists) is -blam!- lame. [Edited on 05.15.2012 7:25 PM PDT]

i wish they could re-do H:3 with the technoligy used in reach

I missed playing Halo 3. So I've been playing a lot of Halo 3 recently. Now I'm starting to miss Reach. It's a never-ending cycle...

Oh god this again. I'm not even going to bother with this thread. I am absolutely fed up about people complaining about reach all the damn time.

Maybe, Goat, you get mad at video games to easily nowadays? I can go play Halo:Reach, or Halo 3 and still have a blast, and not want to "throw my controller and slit my wrist". [Edited on 05.15.2012 6:59 PM PDT]
