      THIS game single handed; ruin all the halos after it. sprinting, load outs , and abilities. this is when bungie tried to make halo a COD. im not saying reach was a bad game. but bungie leaving 343 to pick up where they left off, just ruined halo imo.

    • @Stryfe52
      @Stryfe52 3 роки тому +1

      ZeusLordof Gods I agree for the most part, Reach was a good game but it set a bad example for 343 to follow. Armor abilities were fine(Excluding sprint and armor lock in multiplayer) and the art style was fine too, but then 343 went overboard.

    Going on about the inconsistency of technology appearance in the games. I honestly don't see the big issue with it. Halo is a almost two decades old series that had multiple games, books, etc. Conflicting and missing lore is bound to happen. Honestly I always thought that the most simple logical answer was always the best when looking at the small holes. Example would be the inconsistency of guns. Maybe the character you played as just didn't come across "particulate weapon" during this short glimpse of time we played as them in game.

      @busterbackster1 2 роки тому +2

      I think they excused it well enough, a prototype thing on reach, they had to bail out, and halo 1-3 is just 3 months so a decent chance for chief not to see it plus what his armour couldn't take it anyway right? 2 is a bit harder to explain away tho

    I think it would be cool if the campaign armor ability pick ups returned for both Infinite’s campaign and multiplayer but expanded to include some the other power up things from halo 4 and 5 and some new stuff. So they can keep the classic base gameplay of halo but allow the sandbox to be more then just guns.

    Armor lock is like the reverse card from uno if you lock down right before getting punched and then the EMP lowers the shield of the other player, giving you a chance to punch and kill them back. Loved doing that when I started playing.

    6:00 I know the fall of reach book isn’t technically “canon” but what always bugged me was why none of the weapons/armor modules where added to the POA’s armory? Most notably the DMR, battle rifle (although technically I guess it was still a prototype as seen in the contact harvest book), the falcon, mongoose, or any of the covenant special weapons.
    One guy I was talking to stated that for the most part in the reach game you are dealing with army units and in halo ce you are dealing with marine units and just like in real life army and marines use different gear and weapons systems.

      Armor lock and jetpack are very annoying to play against. Sprint can be irritaring too because of the double melees. I guess that's why people don't like them, they're ok in the campaign but not in multiplayer

    • @Cardboard_Cut
      @Cardboard_Cut 4 роки тому +1

      the problem with armor abilities is mainly Armor Lock, it literally requires no skill and rewads you for pushing a button.
      In campaign is totally fine to use and it's fun, but in mp it's annoying and totally unfair to go against someone with Armor Lock

    • @HazopGaze
      @HazopGaze 4 роки тому +1

      @@Cardboard_Cut Gonna disagree with you on that. I usually end up dead more often than not when using armor lock. That counts for PC and back when I was 10 years younger, and thought it was neat. I still avoid it like the plague in firefight and campaign because I end up dying trying to use it at all. Firefight and campaign? The enemy just waits around, or throws more grenades or shoots more rockets than I have charge for, usually making it hard for me to get to cover coz Armor Lock makes me not move. I have only gotten a few splatter stops from it in MP (ten years ago, and I remember well coz it was so rare) and all other times I get splattered anyway, shot, or otherwise killed. No skill? I must be the worst Reach player in existence if I can't make Armor Lock work.

    The only people that hate armor lock are the scrubs that are too lazy to take a step back and grenade/headshot/power-weapon the guy dead as he's coming out of it. And if he's holding it down so his teammates can come to the rescue, retreat a bit so you don't get ganked and come back for him while his armor lock is on cooldown. You calm your murderboner for one second and armor lock becomes nothing.

    another point i think the evade module is purely a gameplay item and doesnt exist lore wise because there is no reason to think an elite or spartan cant barrel roll without the help of a module thats wack

    Armor Abilities were the single worst addition to the Halo franchise. To this day we still have not fully recovered from the damage Reach did to the core formula in Halo's sandbox. I'll never forgot the million+ player count we had consistently in H3 be cut by more than half once Reach was out for a few months. Sprint and Abilities do not belong in Halo's multiplayer.

    • @TheMasterMind144
      @TheMasterMind144 4 роки тому +1

      Solely blaming armor abilities on Reach's player count difference is very short sighted, to say the least. Halo 3 was the Halo series peak, it sold a lot more copies than Reach overall and by the time Reach was released the Halo series was unfortunately struggling to stay relevant with other more "modern" fps games like CoD and Battlefield taking its place (these very same franchises are now struggling to remain relevant as well and this is simply how video game cycles work).
      Furthermore, there were many online playlists in Reach that featured very limited loadout selections with only a couple of AAs, so the AAs that people were exposed to were dependent on what game types they played. my opinion at least, AAs were a great addition to the series and they made a lot of custom games incredibly fun, they just did not belong in the competitive scene since they were so hard to properly balance.
