sp dlc? IT NEEDS TO HAPPEN NOW!!!

i hate all armor effects because i think it breaks immersion...i will never purchase an armor effect even if i have the credits to spare....i think hearing children cheer everytime i get a kill is fraking obnoxious and highly annoying...luckily i play epic music while i jam so i don't have to hear that garbage as much.....and things like glowing armor of flaming helmets are just plain stupid...they give you away faster....i would prefer unlocks like different camo types...arctic or jungle camo spartaN paintjobs...things that create immersion not break it...the only effects i dont mind are the hearts and the one with flys with stink cloud....but i still would never waist credits on that crap.....

you said population going down....plenty of people could be playing sp offline and we would have no way of tracking it

multiplayer population is not indication of a dead franchise.....elder scrolls has no MP population yet lots and lots of people play it...bad example but i think you get the idea

dude weather halo is dead or not is fully opinion and nothing more....debating it is semi useless....if you think halo is dead then don't buy halo 4 simple as that....im not even going to buy it until i play it first to make sure its fun and im a super fanboy halo nerd

not what he meant....he meant the guns on call of duty shoot in an obnoxious straight line. he likes it better when you have to fight a little with your gun to hit your target while rapid firing. but zero spread makes it more like call of duty....i agree the almost straight line BR streams worked in halo 2 and 3.....but reach was not designed with that in mind...it was designed to be different then the old halo's but you people just want more and more of the same......for shame =(

i agree with you 1000%

thats a bad argument considering aiming with a controller is obnoxious as it is....throw in the slight autoaim that you get regardless of bloom and your argument is moot

i have beaten the package 4 times and 3 of those times i assassinated the elite from the cliff but i did not get the achievable

hoard is badass because you can build things and massive bosses come....we need a firefight like that where everything from grunts to scarabs start attacking.

i hate the TU changes for the same reasons twinreaper hates them....their are times and places for these changes....but not every playlist...armor lock might be OP in team slayer but its perfect for invasion..a nerfed AL in invasion is a useless armor lock....i play almost nothing but invasion because i like the idea of invasion. i like how its set up to unlock more vehicles and AA's as the battle progresses. its a flow that i think bungie tuned rather nicely...changing the abilities will break that flow... if they apply the title update to invasion then i will stop playing reach because i have gears of war 3 anyway. i garantee i wont buy halo 4. or any future halo titles as a matter of fact. invasion is one of the only things about reach that keeps me going back for more. i just love the chaos an invasion map can provide and i strongly believe that a nerfed armor lock will remove a good chunk of said chaos and make invasion rather anemic.....and dont even get me started on zero bloom -.-....can anyone confirm to me if they applied the TU to invasion? if so i think im going to snap my reach disk in half and throw it in the garbage.....i have not played reach since the TU because anniversary and skyrim have consumed my time....but i did play the TU beta and i hated it thoroughly.

well like i said some of them might be impossible but not most of them....its a matter of personal taste and personal playstyle nothing that would justify a second playthrough.... i would want too see what halo would have been like with reach features...more for experimentation then anything else and i think alot of people would also want to be able to screw around more.... even if they dont use any of my ideas the point is we need more skulls....too bad we wont get them lol....i already found most of the skulls and the one or two that i didnt find where boring skulls so i wont bother to hunt them......more skulls would be awesome..

not impossible but unlikely...i agree the new features can simply be accessed in reach...but i would like to play halo1 with the new features just to see what it would be like. if you dont think my ideas are worth money then dont buy them when they become reality =) and if you dont think they would be fun features then simply dont activate the skulls.... i used the word optional for a reason. so dont **** your pants.

the things i want might be impossible but here they are anyway..... an optional skull that makes human vehicles blow up when you die inside of them...the name of the skull would be KERBLAM! an optional skull that makes wraithes drivable if you manage to snipe the driver before he gets inside. the name of the skull could be "snipejacked" an optional skull that replaces the ar and magnum gun models with the cooler looking ones from reach. the name of the skull would be somthing like "raiding misriah armory". an optional skull that enables duel wield. ever wanted to see what halo ce would had been like with duel wielding? an optional skull that replaces random AR's with SMG's. this would add more to halo ce's puny selection of weapons. the name of the skull would be "bullet hose". a optional skull that replaces random jackals with skrimishers. the skrimishers would still have sheilds and would be the same as a normal jackal...they would just be a different skin... an optional skull that replaces random magnums with br's and or dmr's. the name of the skull would be precision spartan. an optional skull that replaces random plasma rifles with plasma repeaters. a skull that adds banshee tricks and or boostage to ghosts... the weapon skulls would not modify damage...simply change the weapon skin on certain simular weapons...i think halo ce was perfect in every singe way. its only flaw was not enough vehicles and weapons. a few more: a skull that replaces the HUD with the reach HUD...the name of the skull would be "firmware update" a skull that adds nightvision and zoom like in reach or odst...the name would be "his optics are fine" a skull that makes your sheilds less effective based on the amount of stress that is put onto them...the same of the skull would be "don't even get me started on the power supply" a skull that replaces random enemy wraith tanks with revenants. the revs would have the same damage, health, and movement as a wraith... a new skull that adds sprint, some reach weapons like the spartan lazer, adds vehicle boarding and assassinations..the name of the skull would be somthing like "special ops". i would pay 800 microsoft points for even one or two of the skulls i just came up with lol it would be cool if the game looked like this.

odst was great..i beat it like 10 times already...i just wish it was longer and had sprint...but other then that its one of the best halo sp of all time

congratz to the winners and thanks to 343 fir another awesome givaway!

i would settle for halo2 on the reach engine with assassinations and an additional arbiter mission or two...the multiplayer should be a reach map pack like the mp for halo ce anniversary IMO

actually i did not sketch it. and also i dont have photoshop....this pic was made in about 5 hours using nothing more then a ten year old version of Microsoft paint. and yes you are right i suck at drawing and my ms paint skills are minimal compared to my brother. i never use ms paint or paint programs in general. i am not an artist, i simply made this pic as a joke to post on all the forums...thank you for pointing out the obvious. i assumed the joke was obvious considering the title of this thread but i forget that some users on this site are just angry individuals. some people even thought it necessary to point out the "screenshot" as fake. it should have been self explanatory

that is just one of the many reasons why this thread should be closed....yet it has not been closed.......

good question...most people on this site DO NOT know what bloom is.....bloom is the representation of recoil on your HUD but not the recoil itself. That is probably why people feel that the halo reach recoil is so random...its not as random as they think it is. the bloom shows their chances of hitting the target...if they aim for the chest and the target reticle bloom is huge then the shot will still hit in the general area of the chest but not in the exact spot that they where aiming....and people whine about that....they think the gun should somehow shoot at the exact spot they are aiming...but guns kick when you rapid fire under pressure especially high caliber rifles like the DMR, that's just a fact of life. people complain because they think that the recoil allows for random lucky headshots...when in all reality it causes you to miss more headshots then anything...when i spam my dmr i don't hit crap...and if i'm close rage then its OK to spam because the DMR is more of an assault rifle at close range (thats how bungie wanted it) even the pistol is more of an SMG at close ranges and the AR can be long range if you burst fire. people want it to be like halo2 where you would hit someone with the BR as long as your aimer was on them...they want the guns to be predictable which is stupid because guns are unpredictable by nature...they want the AR to be a point blank only weapon and they want the BR to be a godly powerweapon like how it used to be...all i have to say to that is eww... yea a lucky headshot once in a blue moon will happen...but is it really that big of a deal? is it going to determine the outcome of a match? probably not...if a ****ty player gets a lucky headshot likely its not going to help him in the long run so i don't see the big deal..the bloom is just a way for your HUD to tell you "whoa slow down i cant track where your rounds are going!" and that's fine IMO...if i'm spamming the trigger then its not unheard of for a stray bullet to wander into someones head...this is a game where your sniper rounds can bounce off walls and kill two of your teammates...it sucks but its not going to effect things in the long run...people whine instead of adjusting. if they would get into reach instead of focusing on the negative they might realize that reach overall is the best most polished halo game ever...the bloom is not as bad as they say it is they just think about it too much. i actually like the bloom i think it keeps the DMR from being a power weapon because that is not what bungie wanted for the DMR... what they are really whining about is the recoil that the bloom represents not the bloom itself..but halo has always had a recoil bullet spread mechanic, its funny how they didnt notice it untill reach enhanced that mechanic with a visible spread of the crossair...many many first person shooters have had bloom...complaining about bloom now is like complaining about the ability to zoom in with certain weapons...its kind of the standard at this point and if you still havent gotten used to it then im sorry but you are simply not a gamer...is it just me or are all the bloom whiners blaming the game for their lack of skill? like how they blame armor lock and say that noobs use it to gain an unfair advantage....funny how armor lock almost never works against me when i play...yet when i use it on people they lose almost every time...that would be like me sucking with the sniper rifle and complaining to bungie to remove it just because i cant use it or counter it...its pathetic and bungie would laugh you out the door with a complaint like that. no wonder bungie left the halo franchise to 343...because they are tired of the clammering fanbase...i swear the halo fanbase is the worst because they are never happy and never satisfied...bungie was tired of it so they moved on to a new game so that they would be free to innovate without having a bunch of whiners that want it to be exactly like halo2 even though halo2 was not nearly as good as halo1....or any halo game for that matter.... instead of keeping or removing bloom i say 343 just pisses on both sides of the debate and removes the target crossair completly...we have all been playing halo long enough, that at this point we do not need a visual aid for aiming the DMR. they should just make us blind fire unless we are zoomed in...im tired of the debate and i think removing the aimer entirely will result in satisfying both sides....if two mothers are fighting over a baby then cut the baby in half and give each woman a half..PROBLEM SOLVED!

well you dont have to vote but the poll is now fair....it wasnt fair at first but i deleted that poll and made a fair one so if you want to voice your opinion then feel free to vote...

a mouse is more accurate by far but still they should do it...if someone is useing a controller and they still pwn you then that makes them awesome...also we are at the point where we can use controllers on the PC and mouse/keyboard on the console so there is no reason why we shouldnt have cross plat MP....

then u noob =P
