Halo sucked when reach came into play. Before reach it was all the best

I remember the good days of Halo 3, the non-stop summer days of just playing custom games with me and my nerd friends in the 5th grade. I actually think one day I spent like 8 hours on Halo 3, and I made a map and it was in Bungie favorites. That was like one of my major accomplishments, but I already had recon. Than that account got banned, I had so much xp.

Halo Reach kind of ruined halo for me also, and I didn't even think about buying Halo Wars either, lol.

I think they could've put a lot more effort on the ranking system.
Like you were saying, you would get matched up with a noob, I know how you feel.
I want a good, challenged game also challenge wise, onyx was to easy to reach.
I hope Halo 4 is what we want, great post also, +rep coming your way.
You should share this post with Bungie, please they need to know.

I'm pretty sure Bungie knows.
They knew that 343i was taking over so they just left Reach as it was and worked on their new game.
343i did a good job with fixing Reach, at least in the MLG playlist, but it was too late.
The reason reach was so bad was because bungie got lazy.

Trust me Halo4 is alot better(already played it)than reach and will help halo make a small comeback but yes halo has completely died since reach was release and halo 3 was the best game they ever release and i hope they go back to 1-50 ranking system

who cares what MLG thinks of Halo? they make up like 2% of the community.
I agree Reach is by far the worst halo, but it beats 90% of games on the market today. Halo 4 is taking the good from all the halos and putting it into this game. Sure its different from previous Halos which sucks but the game looks fun, which is the most important thing

I totally agree with you.

I played Halo: 3 for 4 years straight, then came halo reach and I hated it. I never got mad at Halo like a do Call of Duty. I always had the best time on Halo 3 whether it was on Custom games or playing matchmaking.

Halo: Reach ruined Halo for me and many others.

Hopefully Halo: 4 will be like Halo 3 was and still is.

After watching Halo 4 gameplay and reading info on the game I'm not pleased. 343 is trying to make the game as much like call of duty as possible with its ranking system, Load outs,hit markers, kill streaks(ordinate drops), music for wining team, point based game types like infinity slayer also the ability to see through walls tryarch is actually doing the same idea with Black ops 2 so another relation to Call of Duty its so like Call of Duty they did,nt even change the game engine for Halo 4 just kept the old one and played around with the lighting this will FAIL. Armor abilities are on of the main things that killed not only are they back they are even worse one that i can get over it the ability to see through walls its just a joke. 343 you need to listen to the halo community a little more on what then want i know so many people that agree with me when i say all those things ruined the game that's why Call of Duty is the leading game now and its population is way greater than halo's now i hate Call of Duty and it pains me to see it happen literally every kid i know and have talked to said that Halo went down hill when Bungie released halo reach. be your own game and keep the good qualities that keep people playing Halo in the first place. I am not against change, change is a good thing but for halo to survive it need to bring somethings back that where taken away. Stuff was just made up to give a online story that wasn't needed.
I am going to give a few corrections here and my opinions. First come the corrections, we don't know much about the ranking system at this point but people have speculations like maybe there is a permanent rank and then a skill rank or something like that (this was speculated after we saw the A-11 in a picture during the smartglass presentation); the ordinance drops aren't really killstreaks because no matter what you do you get points towards it, a few examples are kills, assists, and objective playing, and you can't get many of them because when you die you don't get the meter reset to achieve the drop. Also with the ordnance drop you can realistically only acquire one or two, if you are an outstanding player than 3, drops per an average slayer game. 343 also made it harder to achieve each drop after the first rewarded, so the second is harder to get than the first. Now for what you said about the engine. When I saw the E3 Halo 4 gameplay I could hardly believe that the stunning visuals on my television are being displayed from the Reach engine. I will tell you right now that engine was heavily modified, not just some minor tinkering, for that to happen. Now for the most complained about feature in Halo 4 so far, the loadouts! Okay I get that you don't like it, you think it is too much like CoD but you are forgetting something like most people that complain about it, it is only in the Infinity playlist no other playlist, if you don't like it then play the Classic playlist which is going to be in War Games from the start. There you go happy now about not having to deal with those loadouts? I sure hope so or you are impossible to please.

Now for my opinions. With the music for the winning team thing, you are just nitpicking and that is nothing to complain about. I do agree with Promethean Vision being overpowered and Treyarc is implementing a similar mechanic into Black Ops II, but I am sure ProVision was thought of before the X-Ray scope. I do not agree with you saying that armor abilities are even worse than Reach though. I only had problems with two abilities in Reach and as you may have guessed they are Jetpack and Armor Lock which are both absent from Halo 4. Hardlight Shield is balanced well, from what I have seen, and Thruster Pack doesn't allow you to fly so I am fine with that. Also Sprint should be balanced because when you are shot you slow down and by that logic it should be easier to kill the enemy without him/her running away.

Now I do have a lot of hope for Halo 4 and don't get me wrong I thought Reach was a fun game, just not up to Halo's usual standards. To show my hope for Halo 4 I have pre-ordered and already payed off the Limited Edition and Halo 4 should revive Halo and make it number one once again.
