What do firebombs, flamethrowers, fuel rod guns, maulers, missile pods, plasma cannons, SMGs, Spartan lasers, spike grenades, and spikers all have in common?
They’re all found in Halo 3 multiplayer but not in Halo: Reach multiplayer. Is this something that I find is excusable? Absolutely not. If there were a slew of new weapons to replace these in Reach I would consider it a fair trade off. However, this is not the case. While some weapons have been replaced with a similar type of gun (BR becomes DMR; Brute shot becomes a covenant brute shot) these others are a sign of not only stupidity, but overall laziness by the developers.
Halo has been using the same formula for nearly 10 years. It obviously works, unfortunately it works too well. It should be universally agreed (regardless of fanboy status) that the lack of weapons already created for halo 3 haven’t been transferred to Reach is bush-league. I’m sure it’s not too difficult to convert the weapons for Reach considering they had millions of dollars to make the game. And if that wasn’t stupid enough, it’s quite likely that we will find “new” DLC where we will be purchasing the same weapons we used mere years ago in Halo 3.
Why stop with ripping people off with weapons? Why not just throw together very few maps. That would be too mean though, so they went ahead and made levels using the forge feature. Creating levels that anybody could make with their copy. That wouldn’t be so bad, but some of these levels are terribly boring. Sure Cage is great, Asylum is good too, but the rest of the “forge” levels are quite terrible in my opinion.
And what happened to skill? I suck at Halo, don’t get me wrong, but even I could enjoy seeing a number next to my name proclaiming how terrible I was. (It was embarrassingly low) But at least we knew. With the Call of Duty XP system’s “Everybody is a winner!” approach, it destroys competitiveness. I hate it. I dominate Call of Duty, but nobody knows it because they only get to see my experience. Just like Reach is now. It’s ridiculous and shouldn’t be implemented in any game.
Ever.
There are many positive things about Reach and that is why I will continue to play it as will millions of other people but it is something that holds Bungie back from being the best they could be, and that is disappointing.
And one last thing: what the hell happened to dual wielding?!?
We were expecting problems with mod support, but there are a lot of other issues.
This is why you get the GOG version on gog you can select the version of the game to download.
On pc fallout 4 fallout new vegas and skyrim are all broken on steam because they all got the same "next gen" update.
Skyrim dec 2023

Can not find new vegas but anyone that modded it knows the script extender there was also broken
Not accidental, they want modders to stop modding their older games to force them to mod Shitfield.
There doing the same on starfield with a mods store and blocking mods
There goal is like blizzard and what they did with fallout 76 you make mods they can sell and you become a slave.
On skyrim they have "trusted" mod devs now basically a badge that lets your mod on the store you get a crumb of the sale when someone buys it.
lol to the disagrees, the last Skyrim update broke mods too. They've been trying to kill mods to monetize them in creation club for years, it's not a stretch that they purposely put out patches just to break free mods.
The disagrees are from people who have common sense. They aren't trying to kill mods. Most mods for any game will break with a new update because they rely on files/code that have been changed. This isn't new. Even with Bethesda this would happen way before the creation club. Mod support is literally one of the things that got Bethesda to where they are, and they're one of the only devs that releases comprehensive mod tools for each of their games.
Over 14 GBs and doesn't change much at all? What? Taking up that much drive space for a pathetic 'remastering' is shameful.
Par for Bethesda.
As of right now, there are no monopolies in the games industry, and for the sake of the medium as a whole, they never should either.
And yet the biggest tech companies in America are essentially that. They buy up all the small comps only to kill them off and steal what they have, and if they can't buy em they bleed them to death.
Eventually they’ll realize the value is with the employee not the company. Buying an IP means nothing if the people who contributed are let go. They’ll get it one day.
A voice actor from The Coalition's third-person shooter series, Gears of War, has hinted at a new game announcement coming in June.
Hopefully Microsoft will go back to the original story line and get away from that woke nonsense from the last Gears game Gears of Woke! But were talking about Microsoft so all the betting money is on more of the same woke nonsense.
Fuel Rod Guns, Spartan lasers and plasma cannons are all in halo reach.
The things that make me hate reach is that they removed rocket race in place of race which is extreamly boring. Infection is ruined because the zombies are one hit kill and the pure reason im selling the game is SWAT, people have moaned and moaned on bungies forums about swat being in teamslayer and now bungie have added it to Big team Battles and multiteam. I personally hate swat and i happly have a huge punishment for leaving the game rather than playing swat.
i was extreamly disapointed with everying in halo reach, from the graphics to story to the multiplayer.
If rockstar can make red dead redemption look the good as a multiplatfrom and have that many features as well as multiplayer why cant bungie make a much smaller game look better and its an exclusive?
