Face it, it's dead on arrival

Yeah, and the reason was everyone grew up and didn't buy an xbone after the 360.

Because it was coming off the hype and success from Reach. Halo 4's playercount dipped so badly after release that they literally removed the counter and stopped tracking it. Halo 3 and Reach's playerbase actually increased afterwards.

Because it followed 3 and Reach dipshit, 3 being praised as one of the best video games ever made

Devil May Cry 2 sold better than Devil May Cry 3.

Guess why that happened?

Fucking loved ODST

Halo's music is bloody amazing

I didnt play Halo CE though I started at Halo 2 on the original Xbox and played up to Halo 4

>Halo died out for a reason.
It died out because it was a fad that appeals to nobody anymore.

Movement in Halo games is slow as molasses, weapon diversity and control is extremely narrow, rocket splash is so huge you only need to lead on vehicles, and the crosshair magnetism is way too heavy-handed and not in-line with advances in manual gamepad aiming since 2001. Things like the BR and removal of health packs took the game backwards after CE, and yet the fans still argue for a Halo 3 clone.

The thing is, Halo isn't just slow compared to arena FPS; it's slow compared to other console shooters. Everything from the movement speeds, to the physics, to the ultra-heavy crosshair magnetism, is all a relic of a by-gone era where no one knew how to make FPS control smoothly on gamepads. By the 360 era, things improved enough to support the much faster gameplay of later COD games, BF series, UT3, even some Quake 4 console tournaments in France, etc.

So yeah, you can call Halo whatever you want, whether it's "tactical arena FPS" or whatever, but it's really its own thing which bears limited appeal either to PC arena FPS players or even people used to the later console military shooters.

I posit that Halo (the original Bungie games: 1, 2, 3, Reach and ODST) legitimately had one of the most compelling stories for a straight-up FPS (without RPG mechanics) and that it's narrative of telling story in the traditional way (complete a level -> get exposition through cutscene) was far more compelling than Half Life 2 + Episodes approach.

I also assert that it's one of the few games where the expanded universe (primarily the early novels) are actually rather good and add to the existing story rather than filling in huge plot gaps that exist in the game (think Halo 4).

Filled with shitty characters that lacked development, in campaign missions that were half-assed rewinds of earlier areas, and objectives that felt pointless to the whole struggle of reach falling apart. Only a few moments in campaign captured the idea that covenant can glass an entire planet in mere hours.

They already had a story following a spartan team on reach. They didn't need to make another one.

Halo died out cause it was trapped on a dying console.

[/thread]

If we follow your retarded logic then every game not called Halo 3 sold like shit.

i'm seeing one on that webm

Since we're discussing the campaign, Halo 2's storytelling was incredible though.

Take the intro. If you're not a zoomer, then you won't understand just how damn good this intro sequence was 15 years ago:

youtube.com/watch?v=o9et7DSJ9uw

Halo 2's intro is one of the best video game intros ever made. The cinematography, art, music, voice acting, cutting, camera work etc are all god damn perfect.

And the campaign itself was fairly long, it took me a good 20ish hours to complete. It felt like a long slog, but in a rewarding way. All games with a middle of a trilogy have difficulties setting things up for the final part, but I felt 2 handled it really well.

I think I'm gonna play Reach's campaign with a girl Spartan this time.

Every single piece of media after halo 3 has retconned something in the lore, and it's only gotten worse.

>Not playing a female Spartan anyway
I do it because I'm a huge faggot, but they genuinely have some great asses.

When the fuck are people online? Whenever I play at my friend's house it's always something like 150 players online

Halo 3 was marketing done right. It built up a massive hype train that didn't oversell the game and tied into the plot without spoiling it or making the game itself difficult to understand without the aid of the ARGs etc.

do it and you'll notice a lot cutscene shots linger on her ass

Forge, sort of, since it wasn't there on launch, but once it came out it was the best forge in the series and ojnly got better. MP itself was good from day 1, though no splitscreen still means you shouldn't buy it

I'm a halofag but I agree. 5 does a lot to improve on this though, but people shit on it's gameplay for (mostly) unfair criticisms

For 2, I would agree. It's got some legimaately great writing and thematic elements, and ODST and Reach have moments of greatness as well. I have a ton of problems with 4's plot andf writing, but I don't really think it has plot holes or that the EU is used to patch them up?

The EU in general is sort of in a wierd spot now. On an indivual piece of media basis, the bpooks are the best they've been, and 343 is great at weaving plot points together between pieces of media, but they SUCK at moving the state of the universe foward in ways that aren't stupid

>dude what if there was a brand new galactic threat fore the 15th time in a year period of time in universe that they beat

>Filled with shitty characters that lacked development,
Reach's characters have more to them and more interplay then any set of characters in the games other then 2, ODST, and 4 as much as I hate 4's writing

> in campaign missions that were half-assed rewinds of earlier areas,
It does this less then CE

>and objectives that felt pointless to the whole struggle of reach falling apart.
Clarify?

>Only a few moments in campaign captured the idea that covenant can glass an entire planet in mere hours.
Agreed here though, it does a poor job of selling a truly hopeless to beat invasion. The unveil of the supercarrier, jorge's death, Exodus, New Alexandria, and the moment in the Pillar of Autumn when fucking scarabs and drop pods are falling out of the sky around you, and Lone Wolf are the only moments that do.

I remember watching that on my TV when I put the disc into my xbawks back in the day, and just being completely immersed from the get-go. I know Halo took a lot from Ringworld (and Starship Troopers and a dozen other sci-fi novels) but it's because of that that the aesthetics are so damn good. Remember when the forerunners felt genuinely alien and unknowable?

>Halo died out for a reason
343's games being shit?

Not sure how putting all the good ones on PC for the first time is going to bring the series down.

ODST and Reach were the beginning of the end; 4 and 5 are just expansions of the aforementioned styles of Halo. You may love them, but the numbers don't like. Every entry after Halo 3 was a dismal failure when it came to staying power in terms of player population. 2 and 3 managed to hold the #1 slot on their platform for what was essentially the lifespan of the console. ODST lacked content and really offered nothing to push the series forward unless you somehow never bought the Halo 3 DLCs. It was a non essential entry into the series and felt exactly like that.

Reach was when things went to shit as seen by how quickly the player count dropped. The majority of the community was gone within a year of its release. I had fun with the beta, but didn't get the same satisfaction a month into release and went back to 3. Halo 4 saw the same population drop as Reach, and has too many issues to list within the character limit. 5 doesn't even feel like Halo from my hour of experience at a friend's house.

>but I don't really think it has plot holes or that the EU is used to patch them up?

I wouldn't call them plot holes, but there are aspects of the post-covenant world-building that you simply don't really understand at all unless you've read EU stuff (Storm Covenant come to mind).

It's frustrating, because Reach still has the best AI in the series, but not a lot of good levels to see it play out. Neither Halo 4 or 5 has reused this AI properly.

Its was ok I wouldnt say the best. For me anyways. I sadly didnt get to play the last to one Xbox one.

You know were all going to sit here, argue which halo was the best, wither reach was good or not, but lets look at the facts.

We had a hell of a good fucking time playing reach.

If you're allowed to post then so is he.

yeah, cod killed halo

No I didnt

because CoD 4 came along and blew everyones socks off. Now that formula has grown beyond stale, and the game that should have been a natural successor absolutely flopped.

The only reason Yea Forums pretends to care about Halo is because the Epic Games store is getting bigger and bigger

Halo 3 was competing with CoD4, WaW, and MW2 and it still never left the top 3 most played for its entire lifespan.

Why do people even hate Halo 2's campaign? Cliffhanger ending aside, it was always going to happen.

No, the criticisms are entirely fair

Warzone is shit

Reach killed the playerbase. Halo 3 held populations of well over 100K 3 years after release. Reach couldn't even hold that for a third of a year. Reach caused the mass exodus of the playerbase, destroyed the competitive community, and started half the trends that made 4 suck even more, but all of the Reach babies here who got basedface over jet packs are the same ones who quit playing it after 3 months, yet still try to praise it. Anyway, if anyone would like me to list specific faults in Reach's game play mechanics, let me know, and the list will be quite long

have they said anything about fixing pic related?

Pretty sure you can disable it.

You do realise that Reach is the one out of all the Bungie Halos that's still doing the best in terms of player count, right?

These people didn't, because they're retard boomers incapable of feeling joy. That's fine though, when Reach launches on PC we can all enjoy it without them, and still enjoy the trilogy when it launches.

>1,000 players is "still doing the best"

Do you think I care if a few thousand zoomers are creating a little Reach revival? The game lost literally 90 something percent of its peak playercount well within one year of release. See

They should dump Halo 4. It is unecessary and ruins the package. 343 is shit.

Cringe, Halo 2's campaign may have not been that great but it was light years better than Reach's.

Halo 4 is an insult to Halo. It even being included is disrespectful to the real franchise.

Don't buy it then.

Nobody gives a fuck about Combat Evolved. Talking about Halo 3.

>60$ for old games that everybody but pc has played
Kek

>halo reach without the blur and bloom
well im sold

How is it bait? Halo 2 has cramped levels and the game varies from unfair to too easy it's not open and fair like Reach. Reach's campaign is the only sequel that gets Halo.

Halo 2 is the only Halo MP worth playing

Halo only "died out" because Halo 3 and Reach were played for tens of thousands of hours by everyone with an Xbox, then weren't ported to the Bone for a long time. The port of 3 was initially garbage too. Now a whole new dimension of PC players will have a chance to play and it will be a glorious resurgence the likes of which vidya games have never seen.

Threadly reminder that all Halo's after Reach and ODST aren't real Halo games so they aren't worth discussing.

ODST was a shittier Halo 3 that people like simply because it was a slightly different feel from the other Halo games because you were a grunt instead of the Chief and the game was a bit slower.

I completely disagree with those people as ultimately Rookie was no different from playing as the Chief, except he was even more of a blank slate no character then even the Master Chief was. Which is kind of impressive.

This, the one thing 343 stayed true to was shitting on their core fans

funny,the ending is in the beginning indeed

Which of the Covenant dropships do you prefer? The Spirit or Phantom?

>Because the enemy AI is so advanced in Halo: Reach, many Phantoms have a whole area to patrol rather than a scripted path to follow.

>This has lead to Phantoms colliding with Pelicans in certain areas. This is seen often in the level New Alexandria where both aircraft fly around the entire level.
>A glitch can also occur when a Phantom collides with Keyes' Pelican in the level Pillar of Autumn causing the player to not be able to finish the level.

I'm partial to the Spirit, it doesnt see much use

A vague "When it's ready" is infinitely better than shoving it out the door to some long-set deadline, whether it's finished or not.
It shouldn't be praiseworthy to finish developing a game before publishing it (that should be standard), but that's the state of things nowadays.

but it wouldnt be a Halo game if it didnt ship half finished

Phantom is more practical but I like the Spirit more just because it is so different. Gives it a cool unique feel.

You sure will eat those words when even after the shit announcement and massive amount of free beta testing it still sucks, huh?

>but it wouldnt be a 343 game if it didnt ship half finished

Other way around, imho.

No, I'd just be disappointed.

Stop trying to fit in, you Reach babbies were never liked.

This, when it released, everyone hated it, many people still hate it today.

Fuck off Epic shill.

reach had the best forge and best armor customization. also while the abilities were controversial you cannot tell me extra modes like firefight and invasion weren't helpful.

the REAL reason why the playerbase dropped off is because call of duty took over. 4 BTFO halo 3 just a few months after it launched and Black Ops was pretty fucking huge when it came out. CoD really didn't start dropping until after the 2nd black ops. by then halo was already kinda dead.

I don't even want to know what they're doing with the series now. The trilogy, ODST, and Reach were perfection. Now 4 and 5, those are absolute crap. ODST provided the best atmosphere and setting (not to mention that OST) and Reach basically ended it full circle.

With 4, yeah. 5 wasn’t CoD

>muh sacred doom
you need to stop trying so hard to fit in

yes

yea 5 was ultimate shit

How is SPV3? I saw it and was impressed at first but after seeing its released build I am not too impressed anymore by it. It seems to be too cluttered with shit just for the sake of it and its still on those same old maps I have beaten countless times in CE anyways.

For what reasons, user?

Reach, 4, and 5 all have cheap CoD features tacked on, from gameplay to raw aesthetic. Halo fell out of style because the developers lost faith in their vision.

Firefight was way better and more fun in ODST. It fucking sucked major ass in Reach.

haah waaw 1 had a T rating too you goober

Reach and 4*

I used to hate Reach until I thought about it in hindsight, especially in comparison to everything that came after it.

how far do you have to lead your shot in halo 3? i cant get kills

*4 and 5

Actually Reach had regular threads and only got shit on retroactively once Redditors like you came to Yea Forums

Wrong.

And Reach

I’m the opposite, I used to like Reach until I looked at the whole picture and compared it to the other titles
Reach has more meaningful CoD elements than 5

A great emperor is not one who benefits from an age of peace, it's an emperor who works towards it.

Just because Halo 4 reaped the continued success of Halo, doesn't mean it helped Halo stay that successful.

Damn. That's actually a crazy feel knowing you and I have a polar opposite experience with the game.

5 is the best selling title and blew 4s first week sales out of the water

no sadly halo 5 map design is awful generally, there are good maps for team BRs but there are no good big team maps, technically the warzone maps are pretty huge but they are just clusterfucks around huge objectives and are also in warzone, which sucks.

The Xbox huge CE maps suck. That map in particular he posted is way too large for how few players are going to be on it. Gephyrophobia is okay but I would rather have had something like Boarding Action in MCC instead.

Never played Reach but what I remember most about Halo 2's campaign was dying to jackal snipers on legendary. Fuck that shit. I think I liked Halo 1's campaign better, even for all its problems . H1 goes downhill after the flood comes out but it was a joy before that; the AI in it was and is still very good

Gephyrophobia was not on the xboxhuge version

So there is no release date? Do you guys expect it out by the summer you think or what?

No, but it is Xbox huge, which is the problem.

Doesn't MCC have all the maps though?

how comes this was not announce during E3?

Reach was hated when it first came out just as Halo was for casualizing shooters

Attached: 8vp3D.jpg (602x792, 103K)

because they need testers, announcing at E3 would probably be too late for whatever date they're aiming for
or maybe they don't want the focus to be taken away from other announcements Microsoft have for E3

Better than Halo 1?
I've never played Reach

So they announced. Makes sense, since it uses the PC port of CE.

never played halo and preferred crysis in the past but i am honestly pumped

wouldn't be more exciting if that happen? They still might show up during E3.

I never owned a 360 or XBone so I'm kind of just looking forward to picking up where the story left off (for me) 15 years ago or whenever I finished Halo 2.

In the sheer amount of options (so basically horsepower in a drag race) Reach pulls ahead, and some of Halo 3's armor requirements were fucking bullshit.

But to each their own.

>best UI design period
>Halo 3
You knew upon posting this that it was wrong and posted it anyway. It's just Halo 2's with some extra menus and piss poor performance. Not exceptional in any regard.

Meanwhile Halo Reach's UI can seamlessly transition from the Lobby, to the Armory, to your Party, or to your Settings with a touch of the d-pad and zero loading screens inbetween any of the former, or the remaining menus, and the framerate is stable the entire time. It's one of the most functional and stable UI designs ever put in a game and I urge you to try it out for yourself.

>best sound design
>Halo: Combat Evolved
I'll give you this one. Raw atmosphere is one thing, but Reach definitely has the best impact noises and explosions. The meatiest the guns and grenades have ever sounded.

I genuinely love the shit out of Reach and had the most play time in it out of any Halo game. I honestly do not understand the hate for Reach. Also, I'm not that faggot.

Epic shills coping

You must be smoking something if you honestly believe Halo 3 had better armor customization than Reach that had the most variety and in depth customization.

>some of Halo 3's armor requirements were fucking bullshit
Get good, Reach babby
>You knew upon posting this that it was wrong and posted it anyway. It's just Halo 2's with some extra menus

Too bad they're weak as shit when it comes to killing.

Halo 3 was a better game overall than Reach, but Halo 2 was also better than Reach along with Halo CE.

>And that's why it's better
It ran like absolute shit.

>I honestly do not understand the hate for Reach
I honestly do not understand why Reach babbies like you keep asking this question, you're as bad as retards that ask why Other M gets hate, look it up I'm tired of explaining it. You should know.

Reach ran like absolute shit.

I was talking about armor customization, not which is the better game you tard. It doesn't matter which is the better game, it's factual that Reach had the most diverse character customization of any Halo game.

>whataboutism

No, I don't fucking know. As someone who has played every single Halo game, I fucking love Reach and think it anlongside Halo 3 are the two best Halo games.

Ignore him he's a fucking retard that comes into every thread and has to derail it with Reach deflections to avoid admitting that 343's games are worse.

Look it up, I'm not breastfeeding your ass when you hear why everyone hated the game every fucking week.

We hear why YOU hated the game every fucking week.

Reach is shit and if you defend you might as well defend Halo 4 and 5 because those games build off this shit. Reach is the reason Halo 4 and 5 suck. You Reach babbies can take your 343shill buddies and get the fuck out of the community already.

Literally every complaint about Reach is really dumb small nitpicking shit.

>Reach is the reason Halo 4 and 5 suck

You hear me and other anons on why we hated that piece of shit every week, you need get over yourself and realized that it was a shit Halo game that plague everything after it.

You need to get over yourself and admit it's still a good game.

Yet you defend Reach, get the fuck out of here. The only real Halo games are Halo CE, Halo 2, and Halo 3, the rest don't apply.

So this is what Reach babbies tell themselves.

As a Reach lover, fuck you and stop spreading that bullshit. I hate Halo 4 and Halo 5, they are nothing like Reach AT ALL. You're delusional as fuck.

It was a bad game and I will always see it as such, it makes me sick that it gets any praise here.

They're all the cancer that came from Reach, you're the problem, you're the reason Halo went to shit.

>it makes me sick that it gets any praise here
>it makes me sick that people like thing

Because you're a fucking aspie, clearly

343 copied Reach because they were fucking incompetent and had no unique ideas of their own when designing their own Halo games.

But Reach was a fucking spinoff. Not the game's fault.

Halo went to shit because 343 doesn't know what the fuck they're doing. Stop being stubborn.

This Reach boogeyman is getting stale.

Anyone who hates on Reach objectively has shit taste and you can't convince me otherwise.

Yeah, Reach was such a spin-off that the hack, Marcus Lehto, wanted to keep this gameplay if Bungie ever made a Halo 4 and called it an evolution of Halo's gameplay so basically what we got from Halo 4 and 5 wasn't far. Reach was garbage that damaged Halo.

Halo went to shit past Halo 3 when Bungie were on contract duty.

Beta when?

>the actual amount of retards in this thread who never beat 2's campaign on legendary but think they might get Yea Forumstard contrarian points if they default to everything about 2 as the best Halo

Don't bring Tetris into your bullshit argument.

The franchise died, not the old games. They're still worth replaying as much as yesterday.

I'm really excited for a Halo game for the first time since 3.

Halo 2 multiplayer is the most fun I've had playing videogames.

The bad the Rookie died sometime after the events of the game.

>reach had the best forge and best armor customization
yet the core gameplay was objectively worse. If you would like to debate me on the game mechanics feel free, as you will lose
>also while the abilities were controversial you cannot tell me extra modes like firefight and invasion weren't helpful
Firefight was in ODST first, were you born in 2006 or something? I'm not an invasion fan but if you like it to each their own
>the REAL reason why the playerbase dropped off is because call of duty took over
CoD took over long before Reach came out. MW2 came out a full year before Reach, yet Halo 3 still managed to maintain a high population, even while 3 CoD games and Bad Company 2 were out at their peak popularity. Right before Reach launched Halo 3 easily had 150K+ players at any given time. So are you telling me that we lost 85% of our playerbase in 3-4 months because of CoD, even tho a game from 2007 competed with it no problem for 3 years? You would know all of these numbers if you actually played at that time, but you didn't because you are obviously a 14 year old that played Reach and 3 for the first time in 2017
>4 BTFO halo 3 just a few months after it launched
pic related baby zoomer. Halo 4's population plummeted even faster than Reach, the fact that you weren't even around in 2012 is obvious
>Black Ops was pretty fucking huge when it came out
so was MW1, and MW2, did either of those kill Halo 3? Anyway, this is an 18+ website. Please come back in 4 years, but preferably don't

It died out with Reach you zoomer. We lost 85% of the playerbase in just 4 months. Reach killed the playerbase but the babbies here don't remember because they were still shitting their pants at the time

No shit it ass fucked it, but even after an ass fucking it still stayed well above 100K. Something that no other Halo since can say

Honestly it died because they made the same mistake Capcom did, they tried chasing the CoD audience and fucked up the core mechanics because of this. Reach tried to downplay it into the armor abilities (which actually did pretty well far as I'm concerned) but 4 went into maximum overCoD and 5 didn't dial it back down enough. Hopefully Infinite goes back to the basics.

>"People fucking loved Reach, what?"
>this zoomer is too young to have played Reach when the playerbase completely abandoned it in the first few months

Actually let me narrate what happened:
>Bungie made game
>it was good
>minority of shitters complained about shit like bloom and armor lock
>majority was fine and enjoyed the game
>343 too over
>shitters swarmed the forums to complain even though they had stopped playing the game
>343 patched bloom, turning the Earth Ripper DMR that already dominated everything single gametype into a Destroyer of Worlds, and making armor lock plain useless
>shitters never returned to play the game even though it was patched
>the majority that was still playing it largely complained, said the game was good before
>"too late" said 343
>then Halo remasters hit, and 343 started to revamp all matchmaking playlists
>which is apparently a very, very, very long process
>some playlists, like Objective or Big Team Battle, were made unavailable for MONTHS
>most Firefight playlists outright disappared for almost a year
>they then created 50 or so playlists, depending on whether you wanted to play Reach style, Reach style without armor abilities, Classic style... and then dozens of variations depending on which map packs you had
>community was spread so fucking thin, not to mention so fed up with this bullshit, it died

Reach was a great thing, 343 fucking genocided its online mode. That's what happened.

Yes, they removed it

The problem is people thought the DMR should be a rail gun that should be accurate at any distance no matter the rate of fire, even though the point was precisely to balance it. And once they "fixed" it, they made it a parameter that couldn't be changed in custom games.

AND THEN THEY FUCKING BROKE THE NEEDLE RIFLE BECAUSE THAT'S HOW RETARDED THEY ARE, AND INSTEAD OF FIXING ITS BLOOM PLAIN REMOVED IT FROM LOADOUTS.

DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE PISTOL

The fact you're even defending this bullshit shows you never really played the game after the TU, otherwise you'd know the shitshow this was, and you'd understand why the community died- not because the game was bad, but because it was ruined.

>Nobody gives a fuck about Combat Evolved
Wrong, fag

>it was good
no it wasn't, and since someone asked me earlier in the thread, I will list just a fraction of the reasons why in my next post
>majority was fine and enjoyed the game
Then why did they stop playing it after 3 months? There is literally no argument against this. It is a fact that the population was decimated in a few months, yet you people keep trying to argue that everyone loved Reach, despite being the first Halo game to have a mass exodus
>shitters swarmed the forums to complain even though they had stopped playing the game
You mean people who actually understood Halo on a mechanical level? I was on Waypoint everyday during those times. It was all futile because normies didn't know WHY they loved Halo 2 and 3. We did. They clearly didn't like Reach nearly as much because they would have kept playing it if they did
>the majority that was still playing it largely complained, said the game was good before
You mean the population that was 20% the size of Halo 3's 3 years after release? By the time the updates came out Reach was on life support. All the points you made after this are completely irrelevant, because the game had already died while Bungie was in control. 343 took was handed a carcass

Is Halo 4's multi really that bad? Can it not be played in a "classic" like mode?
I would assume it has the best Forge mode of the MCC right, so that has to count for something?

Are you seriously saying no one had a xbox for halo 2 on release?

Do you have any fucking IDEA how many xboxs halo CE sold? The ignorance

The majority of Halo 3's MP maps are fucking garbage. It's like they were TRYING to make steaming shit with results like Rat's Next, Isolation, Blackout, Orbital, Ghost Town, Epitaph, Longshore and fuck knows what else I can't remember.

>Then why did they stop playing it after 3 months? There is literally no argument against this. It is a fact that the population was decimated in a few months, yet you people keep trying to argue that everyone loved Reach, despite being the first Halo game to have a mass exodus
Nice numbers fag.

Oh wait they're only in your head.

>The problem is people thought the DMR should be a rail gun that should be accurate at any distance no matter the rate of fire
Well, why shouldn't it be? Why should the so-called "Designated Marksman Rifle" be more effective the closer you are to a target?
>AND THEN THEY FUCKING BROKE THE NEEDLE RIFLE
Not reallty, it still fired slow and had low bloom expansion to begin with.
>DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE PISTOL
Yeah, it sucks the pistol didn't get a spread reduction. It would have made for a cool high-DPS alternative to the DMR, but it was just way too inaccurate even without bloom.
>The fact you're even defending this bullshit shows you never really played the game after the TU
I played plenty of it after the patch, possibly even more than before it. I had so many hundreds of hours in ZB customs playing on forge maps.

>You mean the population that was 20% the size of Halo 3's 3 years after release?
Nice way to completely miss the part where 343 fucked the balance so bad people just left.

The Renaissance is coming boys.

Are you implying that Reach was holding Halo 3 numbers, and they all dropped it because of a patch that was only in a few playlists?

Indisputable tier list.

>Well, why shouldn't it be? Why should the so-called "Designated Marksman Rifle" be more effective the closer you are to a target?
Because it's a video game. Because gameplay balance. It shouldn't be realistic, it should be fun. That is the thing this user tried to explain, but which you fail to understand. The DMR was a starting rifle for most loadouts, way too common, and way to versatile at any range. It rendered most guns useless. Removing bloom was stupid, I think the proper decision should have been to reduce its ammo capacity back to what it was in beta, not buff it.

It held decent numbers, actually playable. Once 343 turned the DMR into the only weapon worth using and added sixty million playlists (not a few), everybody that was left just ejected back to Halo 3.

Good job selectively replying and leaving out the parts that already answer your post. I think we're done, stay deluded, and enjoy that Halo 5.

So exactly how and why did halo become a console series when originally it was for the pc

I got it on release babyman

if the playerbase abandoned it that badly then you sure as hell couldn't tell

>Because gameplay balance.
It was already the best gun in the game, the only thing that changed was the game becoming more consistent. It unironically made the game take more skill, because pacing at anything but max range with the DMR was a fool's errand, you'd just get picked off by someone firing as fast as possible.

I will enjoy my guns that shoot straight. Enjoy your garbage that split the fanbase in two, and keep blaming outside forces for why people didn't like it.

Attached: M6D_Magnum.png (1024x768, 240K)

The patch was global user, it reduced removed bloom, made armor lock useless, disabled energy sword block, nerfed active camo for no reason, and added bleedthrough. Only zero bloom was on some playlists, the rest was everywhere and affected everything, from campaign to firefight.

And those playlists are another reason it died: players were spread out over dozens of playlists, waiting queues went on forever. People eventually stopped playing. Bungie understood this, they'd rather have few playlists, so that players may not always get the gametype or the map they want, at least they're playing, and not waiting for special snowflakes to play some specific map and gametype.

343 had zero experience in handling nor interacting with a community, and it shows.

Anyway, Reach was a pile of shit, and here's just a few reasons why:
>Game played at a snails pace for a variety of reasons I will mention
>Bloom not only added unnecessary randomness to the game, killing the competitive community, but it slowed fights to a crawl
>movement speed, jump height, and strafing were nerfed (your spartan completely stopped before changing direction, making strafing much less effective), this meant that fights became more of a "who shot first". Good players could turn fights around while being 2 or 3 down by being good at mixing up their strafes, ghandi hops, crouches etc, now the capacity to do that is diminished, killing the depth in combat
>DMR killed BTB map movement as it was a cross mapping GOD. Less map movement means less dynamic gameplay, and more camping. Could have been fixed by making it a map pickup
>Vehicles aside from tanks were rendered useless against a competent team, as team DMR fire could take down a banshee, or any other vehicle in just a few seconds, and combined with the free vehicle kill spartan laser, their was no reason for a good player to use them when you could pick scrubs off with cross map DMR
>Armor lock was literally a pause button, completely stopping the game as you wait for the inevitable, and the occasional cool vehicle kill doesn't make up for this flaw
>Jet pack completely negates the concept of map control (good players used this broken ability, just because retards flew into the middle of the sky and got killed doesn't change this)
>Any supposed speed benefit of sprint is completely negated by the fact that maps were supersized to accommodate it. A "small" Reach map was the size of a medium-large map in 1-3. This meant that we had to endure pointless running sequences to get to the action, which ended up making the game feel even slower
>sprint was a get out of jail free card as you could just press a button instead of being punished for your poor positioning
I can go on

>The patch was global user
It literally was not specifically to pacify babies like you.

>pacing at anything but max range with the DMR was a fool's errand, you'd just get picked off by someone firing as fast as possible.
Yeah now everyone can spam the trigger at long range. What is it you don't understand about balance?

>I will enjoy my guns that shoot straight.
They shoot straight. Bloom is how the character absorbs recoil over time. Not that there is any need to go realistic, the point is this gun can't be a railgun, because it needs some balance.

>killing the competitive community
And this is bad how?

Is it really spamming if there's no punishment for it? Did you "spam" the BR when firing it at its max rate of fire?
>What is it you don't understand about balance
That it was never balanced in the first place, and greatly rewarded luck over actually being good at the game.
>the point is this gun can't be a railgun
Why not? Reach already had the slowest TTK of its time.

they had already left before 343 took over you fucking retard. The population died in the first 3-4 months. You babbies weren't there so stop talking as if you were

The only babbies were the ones crying about the game being bad and asking for a fix. Maybe you should read: halopedia.org/Halo:_Reach_Title_Updates

>It held decent numbers
30K people was not "good" numbers for a Halo game
>Once 343 turned the DMR into the only weapon worth using and added sixty million playlists (not a few), everybody that was left just ejected back to Halo 3.
>everybody that was left
>implying there was anyone left

>the update is unique in that it currently is gametype-based, and has not been directly applied to the full multiplayer game code.
Literally the first paragraph.

>the point is this gun can't be a railgun
>Why not?
Are you for real?

>if the playerbase abandoned it that badly then you sure as hell couldn't tell
>being so retarded you can't look at the population counter

This person is a retard. Most of his shit is just crybaby bullshit, but
>map packs presented by mountain dew
Is where he really goes full retard. Yeah, the way they did map packs split the community a bit, but by making them free after a few months bungie got paid and even poorfags got to enjoy all the content

Literally why not? Because it punished you for running out in the middle of Boneyard like a retard?

Great user, you're so good at reading. Please go on and reach the fifth paragraph at least.

>killing off a huge portion of your population that actually plays the game beyond the first 3 months isn't bad

Why would I look at the population counter?
I was too busy enjoying the game.

Because the whole point of balancing weapons is so that no gun is the best one in any situation, and if you make one weapon the best, then you just broke the entire fucking game.

Do you even understand what you're talking about?

The part where they don't mention anything about it being a game-wide change?
Or the part where you couldn't adapt?
So there was no change from the base game?

It wasn't the majority, it precisely stopped playing because "waaah bloom", and it's cancerous as fuck. Yeah, it isn't bad.
