Halo 4 killed my interest in the series. Hate nearly every aspect of it

Promethean Crawlers are ok to fight, but Knights and Watchers are a chore

I will say theres like 2 or 3 levels that are cool as hell.

Hate to nerd this up, but if you did want to know...

The camera shot of the supercarrier in Tip of the spear is a bit weird if you've never seen one tbh

quickest comparison I could come up with

The Covenant Corvette you see shot down in Oni Sword Base/ You board in Long Night of Solace = Xbox 360

The Human Frigates that's shot down in Tip of the Spear/ LNoS = Gamecube

The Supercarrier = PS5

So taking one out is a massive win.

The soundtrack took a while to grow on me. Wasn't until I watched a playthrough did I appreciate it a bit

I used to think Man with the Machine Gun was lame, but now it's cool

The regular battle theme sucks tho, most ill-fitting song in the PS1 era FF games

Finished the Movie

- For some reason I thought the Pokemon vs clones music would be more intense. Def didnt remeber the Anti-War vibes
- Mew is cute af
- Despite knowing what happens, Ash turning to stone and seeing Pikachu's efforts tugs the emotions. One of the saddest scenes in the whole franchise.
- Earilest preview of Lucarios Aura Sphere

8/10 intro was too long and a lot got resolved in like 10 mins flat. Still a good movie tho

Reach had a multitude of issues

- Armor Abilities and Loadouts, similar to CoD mechanics
- The Armor Lock ability in general. It was very OP since it could stall a encounter for a few seconds, long enough for your team to save you AND recharge shields.

- Most Original MP maps were pretty meh and had a glaring flaw in all of them except like 2. The Forge MP maps all look the same.

- DMR Reticle Bloom, adding RNG to the precision weapon.

- The existence of sprint meant maps had to be bigger, so if you chose not to use it, it took a while to get anywhere decent without another device.

- Players leaving mid match, and no system to replace them.
One of my biggest gripes tbh

Reach is still very much a fun game and is a better designed game than most games today, but Reach's/ The Halo series fatal mistake was releasing their least popular Halo game (at the time) vs CODs most popular and supposedly best game

It was bullshit (like p much any rng game) but the offset was that it was FAST AF.

You could play like 15 rounds a minute and only win 3 times, but it would happen so fast, you couldn't dwell on your losses, only the thrill of winning a lotta dumb coins

It was stupid fun and that's all it needed to be.

Can't believe they took away the grenade launcher from Post Reach Halo games. It was cool and difficult to use (compared to other guns) so people would skip it, which meant more GL for me.

Would plant grenades inside or under vehicles, and unlike 4s Sticky Detonator, it was very hard to spot, virtually invisible.

It's also nice to EMP unsuspecting aircrafts into the ground

The Concussion Rifle was also cool

Damn did I have a love/ hate relationship with Reach
