Wednesday, August 17, 2011 at 10:16 AMIf I wanted to play reach, I’d play reach, why couldn’t they make the mp the way people actually want?

Wednesday, August 17, 2011 at 7:22 PMIt’s supposed to be a remake. Most people don’t want the game because of its new elements, they want it because it’s CE with better graphics.
The way I see it, if people want to play Reach, go ahead, play Reach. But a lot of us want the good old CE multiplayer exactly the way it was back in the day, not this CoD’d up bullshit.

Wednesday, August 17, 2011 at 2:06 PMActually I’m keen to play Reach’s multiplayer but couldn’t care less about its campaign so this game seems to provide a good solution.

Thursday, August 18, 2011 at 9:44 AMmostly because the Halo:CE multiplayer network code was only written with system link in mind. if put out into the wild with just a new graphics layer, griefers would run amuk, and just as likely, the thing would shit itself anytime it ran into less than ideal network conditions.
Using the reach multiplayer engine is a very smart move, + they have already said they are making as many tweaks as they can to make it feel like the original anyway.

Wednesday, August 31, 2011 at 12:19 AMHorrible idea…. The majority of people that haven’t done their research are going to be extremely upset when they realize its just reach multiplayer… They are not dividing a community…. Halo CE players and many of my friends put reach in for a day and went back to call of duty. This is probably the only fps that would take me away from call of duty. They had a real chance to make something awesome and blew it. As far as the netcode goes…I played on xbox-connect all the time on the internet before xbox live existed with zero problems.
