Halo: Reach should come to MCC

Tackel · January 17, 2015, 06:08:03 PM

Why it should:
- Fun gameplay
- Fun campaign with and okay story
- Custom games options are the most customizable in the series
- Forge
- Forge World
- Armor Customization
- Firefight
- Decent Weapon sandbox
- More maps in MCC
- Could work well if AAs are removed so the community doesn't have a hissy fit
- Can have it's own playlist for vanilla Reach
- 1080p and 60FPS Reach would be glorious

Why it shouldn't:
- lolReach threads will populate the forums
- It might cut off certain playlists to players who may not want to buy the game again.

I think it'd be cool if, for Halo 3's anniversary (if anybody is still playing MCC) they released an update/patch for Halo 3 cutscenes to replace them with Blur's work. I would ask for a remaster a la H2A or CEA, but that happening only three years after the MCC released seems to be a little much.

As much as I disagree with your points for why it should be added, I do agree. More content is more content.

Guardian the map deserves a remake, I'll nut so hard if 343 does.

Even if no one did play MCC by then, I'd be damned if thousands of people won't pop in the game again to play it.

I wouldn't complain

I'd be satisfied if they did something as simple as do a "movie" out of the cutscenes and such if they didn't really feel like doing a remaster or a patch. The story isn't great, even by Halo standards, but it would work great to service the fans of the franchise.

To summarize, he hates everything about Reach. Gameplay, story, multiplayer, probably the armor aesthetics too.

Armor aesthetics were fine. Really only disliked how bulkier = more advanced, but that's just a minor gripe that doesn't really affect my overall stance of the game.

Gameplay was fun but only in a casual sense due to how randomized the most basic elements of the game were.

Campaign was okay. Disliked how the enemies all had aimbots. Story was downright awful. A lot of cool concepts were used in Reach, but they were never fully fleshed out like they could have been.

Weapon sandbox was mediocre. It is largely still a one gun game.

Forge was awesome, but the generic palette of options resulted in stale looking maps. The lack of an adequate 'Normal' setting also prevented it from achieving its full potential. (Some of the best custom games on Halo 3 utilized many of the objects' ability to be pushed around everywhere.)

UnwornUniform · January 17, 2015, 06:47:39 PM

I didn't mind Reach compared to the others. I just thought it was really boring.

RomanGladiator · January 17, 2015, 07:20:56 PM

They still have a lot to fix. It is still impossible for me to find a BTB match, and three months after launch that is unacceptable. And it's not my internet or connection before anyone says that.

Less is more. MCC would be the shit if only contained Halo CE and Halo 2 classic.

Why it should:
- Fun gameplay

Subjective

Quote

- Fun campaign with and okay story

Subjective, but there was hardly even a story during the last two levels.

Quote

- Custom games options are the most customizable in the series

Halo 3 actually had more to work with.

Quote

- Forge

A mix of both good and bad.

Quote

- Forge World

Can't disagree.

Quote

- Armor Customization

Subjective.

Quote

- Firefight

Wish it had Firefight focused playing spaces.

Quote

- Decent Weapon sandbox

Anti-Everything Rifles didn't help with that.

Quote

- More maps in MCC

Quality > Quantity for MM. Good for Customs though.

Quote

- Could work well if AAs are removed so the community doesn't have a hissy fit

Why would you want Reach but not these?

Quote

- Can have it's own playlist for vanilla Reach

Or just one consolidated playlist. Choices vary between vanilla, BTB, and TU.

Quote

- 1080p and 60FPS Reach would be glorious

Indubitably.

Azumarill · January 17, 2015, 08:17:44 PM

reach is trash and should be laid to rest forever and forgotten.

Deleted · January 17, 2015, 08:32:21 PM

I would welcome it with open arms and hard nipples.

I miss Reach so much. Custom games and machinimas were the shit untill the xXxEmoxXxVampirexXxKittyxXx type demographic ruined it with AssAssinaShit Tower

Reach maps weren't bad...well aside from Sword Base.

MCC community is filled with Halo 2 wankers, who probably won't look twice at a game with AA's. The maps don't really need them either. It would allow it to get a chance to be picked when going into the Team Slayer playlist.

How can it be 1 playlist when BTB is involved? Throw Reach in the BTB playlist, and have the Reach playlist play Vanilla/TU. Though, I'd personally just want vanilla. Too much difference in the gameplay, it'd throw new players off. The TU playlist in Reach never got above 400 players anyway.

nosejob · January 17, 2015, 10:14:14 PM

It totally should. Reach was a modern masterpiece and leaving it out would be a disservice to the game and all its content.

- Fun gameplay

The slowest Halo game is Reach, Bloom was the stupidest idea next to Armor Lock, and every vehicle is made out of paper. Reach is playable but it is not fun.

Quote

- Fun campaign with and okay story

The campaign is only used for getting cR from commendations and challenges

Quote

- Custom games options are the most customizable in the series

Can't argue with that.

Quote

- Forge

One of the best Forge modes in Halo but I'm pretty sure H2A's Forge is vastly superior.

Quote

- Forge World

Gray, gray, gray, gray, and more gray. Oh and there's green in there somewhere also.

Quote

- Armor Customization

The best armor customization in any Halo, I agree.

Quote

- Firefight

Just added to the game to get cR

Quote

- Decent Weapon sandbox

The DMR and Sniper Rifle out-gun, out-match, and overpower every other gun in the game. There's no need to pick up any other gun in the game when those 2 guns fit every single role.

Quote

- More maps in MCC

Reach has some of the worst Halo maps ever created. Nobody wants to play on those sack of shits ever again.

Quote

- Could work well if AAs are removed so the community doesn't have a hissy fit

Or people could just play a superior game like Halo CE or Halo 2.

Quote

- Can have it's own playlist for vanilla Reach

You wouldn't wish this upon your worst enemy

Quote

- 1080p and 60FPS Reach would be glorious

Reach still looks pretty good. This would barely make any difference.

big dog · January 18, 2015, 04:39:06 AM

I just want the custom games.

PSU · January 18, 2015, 05:28:54 AM

As much as I hated on reach. It was still 100x better than H4. I'd be happy with a reach remake.

Elegiac · January 18, 2015, 06:08:56 AM

I like Reach
