Weapons: bring back the sniper tracers that float in the wind from H2. 343i did a good job with the recent BTB Heavies gametype. Waiting around for 3 minutes for a warthog to respawn on Hemorrhage during BTB is no fun. Also, for BTB, reduced vehicle spawn times. Other vehicles: don't make them so easy to murder. Banshee: remove unlimited flips and spins and/or fuel rod cannon. I can simply not play online co op because of the delays. Lockstep model for online co-op: I understand why it's there, but it blows. At least make Spartan AI's better than lowly marine AI's. I especially hated Carter the entire game what a bland character. (exploration of mysterious, vast alien territory isolation punctuated by bits of marine companions NOT a bunch of army dudes trying to look like MW3 characters.) Honestly I didn't give a shit when any character died except for Jorge. I hope 343i does a good job with this since they've been juggernauts behind writing the Halo story.Īnd the writing in Reach felt too gung-ho-bro-ish and not enough Halo-ish. Campaign: story strayed from canon too much.
WAS REACH UNWINNABLE HALO REDDIT HOW TO
If there are going to be no credits in Halo 4, 343i needs to figure out how to incorporate this idea into rankings. If you got 1000 credits when you cap a flag or 500 when your team does, it would make it so it's not just 15 minute slayer matches and people would actually care about the objectives instead of just grinding their K/D. No credit incentives for objective completion in matchmaking. The objectives are "stand in arbitrary place for 20 seconds" instead of destroying stuff. Invasion: I made a long rant about this the other day in r/halo, but basically the 2 primary maps suck. Even in Swordbase, my favourite Reach map, who really uses the red lift regularly instead of throwing grenades up/camping the yellow lift? Reach's maps have largely unused portions. 343i really needs to study what made H2 maps so good and capitalize on that same formula. I'm okay with Sprint and Jetpack but only on certain maps. Made it so that in a 1v1 duel, whoever gets the lucky 5th headshot wins.
