I HATE that all votes automatically go to teh first choice in the map selection menu!

No votes should appear until someone selects!

I hate when gametypes/maps get picked because someone wasnt paying attention and didnt vote thus automatically voting for the first option!

FIX IT!

That or atleast make the order of invasion and invasion slayer random so that invasion doesnt get picked so much!

>:(

Love the game other than that :D

With the exception of Generator Defense but I left my feedback on that already... >.>

Okay, this is all my opinion, if you agree, say so. If you disagree, say so. Please do not act like the retarded American fools most of you are, just vote. Thanks.

!!WARNING!! EPIC WALL OF TEXT BELOW

Reach has too many flaws to name. I realize it's a Beta, but really, this is just too much.

Halo CE = Win
Halo 2 = Win
Halo 3 =Win
Halo Wars = Fail
Halo 3: ODST = Fail
Halo: Reach = ?

Hmm, do I see a pattern?

I am about to name off about a Kajillion flaws that are in the Beta, but first:

Halo 3's Beta was almost exactly the same as the full game, they hardly changed anything.
Will the Full Game of Reach change from the Beta, or will they just ignore the facts that are being shoved up their asses every 5 minutes?

You have 4 months to fix the Kajillion flaws I'm about to name, if you can do it, and the Full game is stupendous, hats off to you, I was wrong. I doubt it though, and it's going to be fun ripping in everyone's faces how Bungie failed at making the Game of the Year.

Okay, here we go...:

#1) Headhunter sucks.
#2) Voting system has flaws.
#3) Too much bloom on DMR.
#4) Invasion is vastly tilted toward the Spartan's favor.
#5) Tone the Piss Rifle (Focus Rifle) down.
#6) Tell the guy with the long beard he's retarded and sucks at balancing weapons.
#7) Get rid of the Rocket Launcher Danger Close crap.
#8) DO NOT put Generator Defense in the full game without fixing the lag.
#9) Give us some form of vehicle health.
#10) It takes 5 seconds to re-lock the Generators, completely stupid.
#11) Death Zone on Boneyard.
#12) Tank spawn time on Boneyard too fast.
#13) Armor Lock
i) When in armor lock, you're invincible for about 7 seconds. This is more than enough time for a teammate to walk over and rescue the guy in the lock.
ii) When going in for a melee, the 'locker' sometimes pressed LB instead of RB. Rendering the opponent's melee useless. The armor lock blocks the melee, EMPs the guy for touching him, then pops out of the armor lock to melee the guy once for the kill.
iii) When stuck by either a sticky or Plasma Launcher grenade, the 'locker' can enter armor lock, and magically survive the blast.
iv) When being shot from across the map, the 'locker' can enter armor lock, wait for his shields to recharge, the carry on his merry way again.
#14) Grenades are like Fallout 3 Mini-Nukes.
#15) Wraith not being able to shoot when EMPed.
#16) Green Lift on Swordbase camping.
#17) Retarded SWAT madness.
#18) Assault Rifle crappyness.
#19) Grenade auto-aim.
#20) Shotgun suicide kills.
#21) Lack of SMG.
#22) Grenade rooms.
#23) Not being able to edit the names/descriptions of files.
#24) Not being able to use the name "Bungie" in your files.
#25) Lack of the Dark Pink color.
#26) New emblem maker, the up/down scroll and the RT/LT not making the scroll go faster.
#27) Guests.
#28) Tank > Wraith ness.
#29) Team names for Invasion squads.
#30) $20 000 Flashlight.
#31) Too many shots in the Plasma Launcher.
#32) Not being able too see how many of a certain medal you got.
#33) Shotgun on Swordbase.
#34) Too many rednecks saying y'all every 2 seconds.
#35) Fail of a TrueSkill system.
#36) Generators blow up too quickly using the sword.
#37) The booting system is blam'd up.
#38) The Operator class shouldn't be a class in Invasion.
#39) Time limit in Invasion for second and last stages are too short.
#40) The spawn wait is messed up, choosing the spawn point and waiting 3 seconds to confirm it.
#41) The ghost is too overpowered when it comes to splattering.
#42)


There's more, but I'll add them tomorrow. I'm pretty tired.

Reach: at least it's not Halo 3!

I plan on abusing the mute ban system because your foolish ass decided to create an easily abusable system who's merit is entirely subjective to begin with.

Tut tut. And to think Bungie was good at making games. I am so angry they didn't include a playable Battle Rifle. I want to just say that since I don't get my playable Battle Rifle Character that I will not buy this crap game. Screw you Bunjay!

Hmmm since this is the rant thread...

First off, Bungie, overall Reach beta was a very cool experience. It will be great IF you really listen to what people are saying because as of now, Reach would've been an epic failure had it been released already. Soooo...my thoughts are...

1) Stop trying to reinvent the wheel everytime a Halo game comes out. You're ignoring what made the previous Halo games so enjoyable. The fact you still can't get better than CE and Halo 2 says something. You're not keeping it simple.

2) Sprinting and hammer combo must go.
3) Take jet packs out of Arena altogether. It's supposed to be a competitive playlist? yea no way. It's wayyyy to easy to earn Onyx and Gold too. Make it more challenging.
4) Stop making the sniper easier to use because kids complain about the lack of aiming skills they possess. It seems you're making this game for the casual gamer and now you're seeing what the community says about that...NOT GOOD.
5) The camo armor ability is hokey
6) Sword base is like a half-assed version of Boarding Action. If you want a real CTF game on there, take that ghey lift out of the map on the bottom and have players earn the capture by using the whole map.

Overall Bungie, you really did do a good job with a lot of stuff. The sound especially is impressive. But you need to sit back and look at the first Halo and the maps. What made that game a legend? simple, simplicity and it took real skill to kill someone.

I reject your reality and substitute my own.

Of all the text that displays while searching for a game, one sentence left me infuriated: "You're a unique and deadly snowlfake!" Of course it was referring to customization utilizing the Armory. However, it's not the lack of customization that urks me.

The thing that pisses me off so much is that, condradictory to the message, every snowflake actually looks exactly like many another snowflake. The crystalline strucure of a snowflake only allows so many possible patterns. The fact of the matter is that any given snowflake is identical to billions, if not trillions, of others that have fallen.

The thing about Halo: Reach that contradicts this is that there are likely going to be millions, if not billions, of possible armor/emblem/color combinations. With under a billion players, this means that it would be quite possible for every player to be unique. This is very much NOT what happens with snowflakes. Although there will be a finite number of combinations, the actual number of players will be less than the number of possible combinations.

I demand that this message not appear in the retail version of the game. Not only is the statement inaccurate, it also misinforms all who read it into believing blatant lies about the natural world. I cannot stand by and witness the gross perversion of truth, knowing what is intentionally being done. Such cognitive injustice must not be allowed to continue. Snowflakes are not unique; stop pretending they are and use a better example. You're a unique and deadly mitochondria!

To all these people crying about no br, learn how to shoot. Its that simple. How are you going to hate a game for taking out a crutch gun and replacing it with one that takes some skill. I can kill faster with the dmr and I actually more feel accomplished for doing it. Oh and grenades, what are they appose to do, sting a little? Come on guys grenades blow you the -blam!- up plan and simple.

I Hope that I am not too late to post here but I will try anyway.

Hi I am new to these forums and have not as yet found an official forum relating to the improvements needed for Reach Beta. As such I have decided to past this message in all the forms relating to this topic in the hopes that Bungie will look at one of them, so here goes.

Aside from some lag and glitchy game play, I have been very impressed with the Halo Reach Beta.
There are a few aspects that I would like to see improved though.

1.) I believe that the Assault Rifles damage should be marginally increased as it takes 1 full clip to lower a player's shield and then to finish them off, you either have to beat them down twice or pull out your pistol. This would be fine except for the fact that players using pistols against you can kill you in 4 to 5 shots to the head, so you usually end up dead just as you have lowered their shields with your assault rifle.

2.) I would also really like the Targeting reticule used for the Pistol to either be less transparent, darker or thicker as when you start firing it becomes almost impossible to see it over your opponent's head, this causes you to miss many valuable shots sometimes.

3.) The grenade's explosive radius is far too large, It can kill you from 3 metres away(might be lag)1 can kill you even if you have only lost only 1 third of your shielding.

4.) The game type Generator defence is very enjoyable, except for the extreme lag one often gets which is probably due to the network testing, the only problem I can find with it though is that you can lock and relock the reactors far too quickly. I think that there should be a bar at the bottom of the screen when locking one down, like the ones used for returning a flag.
It should take more than a second to lock them down and they should not be destroyed in 5 to 6 melee strikes.

5.) I like the way that the elites are turning out, larger, faster stronger etc but I really don't like the new faces. It's more of an ascetic topic and I don't know if anyone else feels the same way but to me it seems that by removing the pupils and moving the eyes closer together, the resemble some cross eyed zombie. Also the ne new teeth are great but the lower mandibles should taper in more and not be in alignment with the upper mandibles, this causes the jaw too look more square rather than the squid like tentacle look that we all love and leaves a large gaping hole between them unlike in Halos 2 and 3 where the hole was barely visible and could only been seen on occasion from underneath.

6.) Also I believe that the elites should be a little faster than they are now. This would make it more challenging to kill one running and would also fit the book description better. I am not suggesting that you make them twice as fast as a Spartan or make them impossible to catch on foot but just a little faster so that when playing as an Elite you can notice the difference in speed more than when you are playing as a Spartan.

Aside from these issues I believe that Reach is a great game from what I have seen in the Beta and I really like the new emphasis placed on team work. The game play and graphics are smooth and stunning and the combat is fresh. All in all it looks like a great game and I can't wait to play the full version of it.

Thank you for your time.
