yeeeeah, the 152 dream is DEAD
im in the minority of saying that reach MP was not fun at all with that clunky movement. glad they are able to bring it to current gen consoles/pc though. what a feat that must have been.
Is that a minority opinion? I feel like the general community consensus is that the Reach multiplayer isn't good. Bad maps, armor abilities, reticule bloom. I really don't have much of a desire to go back to it.
Let's not forget the flipping warthogs, insane banshee spam, and armor lock against ghosts.
I like Invasion, but the vehicles were not balanced against DMRs and Snipers.
i feel like i am in the minority since it's a big launch and something that seems to have been requested by a lot of the Halo community.
There are a lot of people who view Halo Reach very fondly. I think a lot of them skew younger. A lot of the hype also comes from a very solid campaign where issues like maps, abilities or even bloom didn't matter much. More casual players liked it because many felt frustrated with Halo 3's lack of sprint at a time when Call of Duty was becoming the new hotness. Casual players really enjoyed armor abilities.
Halo Reach also had an insane install base at a time when Halo's cultural relevance was still pretty big. Because of this, the community felt a lot bigger. I won't deny the Reach years were a hell of a lot of fun and I had an absolute blast playing the game. But I remember constantly complaining about the game while playing it and on forums. It was constantly ripped apart on HaloGAF. I do think a lot of people forget how bad some of its gameplay elements were because it was just the game everyone played anyway. And fun times with your friends can overcome bad gameplay.
Minority with that opinion? MINORITY....... with THAT opinion?!
G0SU pliss.
You're right. Halo 3 played like shit in 2007 and those who recognized it at the time were and likely still are wise beyond belief.
Yeah, from people I talk to that are excited about Reach, it's either younger people for whom it was their first real Halo experience or people excited to play it all on PC. For most of the PC crowd, this is going to be their first Halo, or their first one since the Halo 2 Vista port.
I think your last point is going hit a lot of people hard that haven't touched the game in 7-8 years, though: People have forgotten how bad the game feels to play. Even in TU settings, it's just not that much fun because of reasons that have talked about a million times since 2010. I truly think it's the worst pvp experience in the series.
Boys I can't do it any more, it's been over 4 years since a Halo game came out and I'm thirsting for a new one
Please 343 just one detail please

Unfortunately for you, my statement doesn't apply to radar-loving toggle crouchers, like biggy.
Hay Guyz -- are we really going to get info about Infinite at TGA or are we just super, very duper hopeful that it will be there?
T___T im bored of other FPS and i'm dying for Halo Infinite.

People hoping to see Infinite before maybe Microsoft's official Scarlett unveil are going to be really disappointed.
That's what I'm thinking which is why last E3 was a bit disappointing for me.
Scarlett reveal in February to highlight the step up in console generation and what that means for Xbox going forward, since this is going to be the first Xbox console that is so compatible with previous generation.
Mark my words...

Id be surprised if we don't get a beta in the next couple months... worked well for Halo 5
lol sorry I should have explained.
It's basically 4v4 slayer where if you hold X it does the animation as if you picked up a power-up but in this it "shifts" you to a different version of the same map. If the other player is on the other map you see them as a glowing ball which means if you shift over you can then fight them. There's a little timer on shifting so you can't spam it over and over.
Yeah, exactly.
I would actually like to see a mode like that straight from 343 or another game altogether where that's the gimmick.
Since I was told it was okay to link our podcast here I thought now would be a good time since we just finished our MCC retrospective that sets us up for Reach's launch next week. It's a long one, so if you need something for a Thanksgiving drive or a long shift at work, we got you covered.
We are on all podcast platforms.

Well that would definitely help retcon some certain things
In the realm of Halo podcasts that's not much. Podtacular pulls six hour ones sometimes.Shit dude, 4 hours?
I go crazy editing anything longer than two hours so I try to keep things shorter.
We just had a lot to talk about. Would love feedback though. Would you prefer it was much shorter? If enough people don't care for the length...we'll adjust. Thanks!Shit dude, 4 hours?
I'd be the worst podcast demographic to cater for, I don't listen to them very often. That said for me personally 30-60 mins is probably tops for my attention span while on in the work headphones background.
I think the golden mark for a podcast is about a hour. Bite sized chunks work a bit better for people, since you have a module to digest instead of a big block of info. I haven't listened to your podcast yet but I assume you have the information already kind of broken into chunks. Making them seperate episodes might help from having people tune in and out.
Just my two cents as a podcast listener.
You're lucky I like the cut of your jib.
lol finally, you made me chuckle..
Soo you actually like Moose? Blocked.
Armor Lock against ghosts was my favorite thing in reach

4 hour podcasts, good God. Back when I did one, if we went over 90 minutes the guy doing audio would try to kill thw rest of us with his mind.
