Call of Halo: Modern Reach, what?

Seriously, Spartans are supposed to be genetically augmented to be the best of the best but they cant aim and shoot while sprinting? Camo can shoot, Jet Packers can shoot... I cant shoot while running? Dumb. Hell, even in that stupid 7 mini-movie "Halo: Legends" DVD, they shooting while doing what? Sprinting...

Armor Lock? Ridiculious. If you're stuck before you lock you should die. You also shouldn't be able to look around you while armor locked, whats behind you should be a suprise... like presents!

Really tho, it feels like you ripped off either CoD or shadow run... Halo was good because it took skill, and it was like the bread and butter of pro gaming. Not some 1-shot kill panzie crap, if someone got the jump on you, you could turn around and Out-BR them, Ninja them, juke them, etc.

Selectable Invis that does a forced Radar Jammer? With such a terribly weak Invis, even if your crouching stationary... its no wonder that perk sucks.

Way to steal first strike and payback from CoD...

The bloom on the DMR is ridiculiously quick to spread and slow to re-center...

Oh, and as for the jetpack...
Stupid.
100 feet in the air with a needler...
Ive gotten a TON of triples with it before hitting the ground.
...and I mean needler, not needle/carbine special-ed gun.


We've officially took a BIG step backward in Halo's evolution... its like you took tips on how to improve your game from a 6 year old with ADD and an overactive imagination.

Seriously, Id pay 60 dollars for 6 new Halo3 maps before I'll buy Reach unless big changes are made.

As for people on here telling Bungie what they wanna hear and complaining about the people that dont like Reach.. If noone complained, then nothing would get fixed in this terrible game.

Bungie needs complaints just as much as positive Reinforcement... so take that into consideration before you get all Butt-hurt and break my post down and explain to me why you dont like what I said. Its called feedback. Any and ALL feedback is purely a matter of opinion. Anyone who thinks otherwise might actually be retarded.

Should change the title...

Halo: Reaching for a new audience

Mainly because more people seem to dislike it rather than like it. Its practically not even Halo anymore. Plus, with the ranking system changes.. its just one big social game.

"Oh, I was Onyx last month"
Who cares about last month, live in the now.
Ranking system 1-50 Please.

Whatever happen to subtle changes causing a dramatic, dynamic effect on a game... not so many changes that people dont want to play it.

Also, people play Bumper Jumper to be able to aim the whole time, having equipment on X button makes the Jetpack nearly unuseable because to jetpack you gotta let go if your aiming stick.

Really Bungie, this far along into Halo and you STILL havent given us the option of Customized controls? How hard is that to think of...? Let us make our own control schemes

DMR/Needle Rifle/Pistol FTW!!!

Since you offed us this thread I thought I would join in...
However my rant is not about how bad the game is. it's about how much people hate it.

Seriously, Reach is not Modern Warfare 2. Sure they have the first strike medal and the revenge metal. Sure they have load outs. But the load outs are not configurable, they don't have the weapon selection. and neither should they. This is the future. we have the best weapons the UNSC can offer and that is all you need. The load outs are not configurable because Halo:Reach tries to balance the field instead of letting people run around with rockets and snipers all day.

"Sprinting is default in every other game why is it a special power here?" 1 it's not in every game a few games have it, but not every game. That being said, these are spartans, they are running at full speed all the time so yeah sprinting on top of that is a power.

"Armorlock is ridiculous you can turn around while in armor lock." No you can't you can aim where you want to come out at but if you watch the animation you still turn after you come out.

"quit ban is dumb" Ok partially should be able to tell the difference between lost connection and an actual quit, but other than that... STOP QUITTING if you want to play a game so bad play the game.

"grenade radius is too big" Their friggin grenades, and they are huge for grenades and this is the future I'd be surprised if grenades don't explode that big by the year 2525...

Wow ranting is so much fun... ok I will just skip to the end...

"Halo: Reach is not Halo"... you know what, you're right. It's better.

I hate the assassination system, it is okay at times but in some occasions it's freaking stupid.

1. Powerhouse - I was low on health so I ran into the building with the grenade launcher to get the healthpack at the top of the stairs. Soon as i get my health up, the other player kills me regardless.

2. Sword Base - Both I and the assassin were in the air and he got me. Wtf?

Please fix these bungie, they are very unfair and cruel.

"I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity."
- Edgar Allan Poe

Fix the 3rd person orbital camera in the theater for taking pictures.
The focal point is way too high and close to the characters' heads. This makes for lower quality 3rd person shots when players want things like the HUD or Medals to display in the picture.

Speaking of Medals, bring back the Medals Chest from Halo 3.
While it's nice to know a player got a Double Kill, Killing Spree, etc. in game, it is more valuable to know how many a person has both after each match and in total.

Have you made a well thought-out Topic, and would really like to communicate your idea to the community, but it just doesn't seem to get any posts? Send me a PM with a link and I'll come to your thread, give an honest response and, if needed, keep posting until it gathers attention. (no double-posting, though)

P.S. Only send me group invitations if you believe that your group is the worst group in the world and should be deleted and that you deserve to die. And are a terrorist.

Note: I'm only going to address issues that haven't been addressed by Bungie. If you're going to try and counter my points with an argument involving something about me being terrible, or that the game is fine, or that nobody cares, gtfo. Otherwise feel free to argue. I cherish it.


Let's begin, shall we?

1. Reticule bloom is kewl and purdy, but not really all that fun. I know you want us to calm down and pace our shots, but since when have people complained about being too accurate? Or about the game being too fast? I've never seen or heard someone complain about spamming shots in this game. These are super soldiers that can beat just about any non-shielded organism in existence to death with one punch, who can flip over tanks, who can rip turrets off their base while still being able to jump the same height, yet they somehow can't control the recoil of a puny little 7.62x51mm round. The AK47 uses it. The AR uses it. Why is it that when it's put into a longer-barreled rifle, that it suddenly kicks like a mule on methamphetamines? Which brings me to my next issue:

2. Now this is going to seem like a miniscule detail that's completely irrelevant, but when the canon of Halo is so detailed that is has its own encyclopedia, it's kinda ridiculous when two weapons share the same ammunition, but one does more than 3 times the damage with it. I mean, the DMR and AR both use the exact same round: the 7.62 x 51mm. Yeah, by modern standards, it kicks hard, and non-trained users may have some difficulty in firing weapons that use it. But the AR and DMR use it. Same exact round. No difference. It's not AP vs. Shredder. It is the exact same round. This is an easy fix. How did this get past whoever the hell comes up with the specs for the weapons, anyways?

3. Actually, movement speed and jump height seem fine, since you can always sprint or fly.

4. Make voting neutral at start of voting. Don't get me wrong, stockpile on powerhouse is great, but it gets old. Fast.

5. Maybe it's just me, but it just seems so much harder to kill people now. Lower accuracy, armor abilities, small clips, etc. I'm not saying that we should be doing more damage per shot, or stuff like that, but maybe at least give the pistol and DMR a clip extension. 2 rounds for the pistol. 3 for the DMR. If we count each burst for the DMR as 1 shot, both the DMR and BR can fire 12 shots per clip. While the DMR can hold 1 extra clip, it's kinda weird that since the DMR can fire about 3 shots for every 2 with the BR, yet the clip sizes are exactly the same. (like I said, dmr shot = BR burst) The BR has always been one of my favorite weapons. It was versatile, but one of the slowest killing weapons in the game. The community seems to have liked it, and I always seem to hear people brag about out-BR'ing someone than out-AR'ing them. Can you guys please do something to at least let us feel like badasses again? (don't even mention elites, evade makes them way OP; just cluster together and dish out walls of fire, and evade and swarm once an explosive or enemy gets close.

6. Inversely, while I can never seem to damage people, it might have something to do with the fact that I'm always being blinded by a wall of lead or plasma. Or explosives. Pick one, I don't really care, it doesn't make much of a difference how I die, the end result is the same. My best guess has to be the motion tracker. I know that there is no possible way this would go well with the community but it was bad enough for people to always know where I was horizontally. Vertically makes it ridiculous. Some may argue that it's necessary for people to be able to pick out where people are on the 5-story swordbase, but the motion tracker was never meant to be the swiss army knife of radars. It was a tool, yes, but you still needed situational awareness to make the most of it.

7. The AR. It seems to have gotten worse and worse by the games. In Halo 1 it was a close-medium range MACHINE. You needed great skill to use it effectively, but it had high dps and a big clip. Halo 2's smg's were okay, but not as starts. Halo 3's AR was good, and smackdowns were more satisfying than ever, but reloading became much more of a factor in battles. While it wasn't the most powerful, it proved a very devastating weapon in the hands of a skilled player who knew the inner workings of melee combat. Until you guys made simultaneous beat-downs and shield-checks, completely removing the point of learning to time the melee, partially closing the skill gap, that is. What I'm trying to say is that it wasn't the most powerful, but melee combat balanced it.

Now in Reach, it hasn't changed much (it does seem less accurate, but maybe that's just me) but since assault-smackdowns (both enemies fire and charge, get the melee in) have been completely eliminated with the old-fashioned simultaneous beatdowns and whatnot, plus the whole shield system (just like with reticule bloom, who got the idea in their stuck in their head that melee combat would be improved by making people simply punch eachother and kill eachother at the same time? Now the AR just kinda sucks, and only serves as a suppressive weapon to blind people with as your teammates use real weapons on them. Please for the love of god, if there was one change to be made, pick the shield system. If a shotgun blast can tear through shields, why can't my almighty supercharged fist?

Frankly, I'm growing weary of try to explain these things. I love Halo; it was the first shooter I ever played, and the one I have always been pretty good at. I was far from the best, but I could always beat everyone I knew. (except for some guy I know from forgehub who rocks at Halo, builds amazing maps, but sucks worse at Reach than me)

I rarely compliment myself, but going back into Halo 2 and 3, I can kick ass. With Reach (yes I know it has a learning curve, but I picked up Halo 3's AR just fine, and actually did amazing in the Beta for that, and did pretty well with Halo 3) I just can't seem to do well. I love all things Halo, but this game saddens me. I learned with Halo 3 to never doubt you guys, but damnit please don't let us down. Read through these rants. (the intelligible ones, at least) At least take our suggestions to heart.

I know you guys make games you want to play, but ultimately we're going to be the ones who get the most out of it. For once, could you guys focus on making a game that we'll want to play?

Well, yes, over exaggerated, but I am sad to see the Beta go. A friend of mine suggested an update for Halo 3 to add in the Reach default, which I thought was a good (but seriously unrealistic, I know, but hey, I can dream) idea.

Where the hell is the Reach Spiker?

Did you not find it important enough to test for the beta? Or was it so perfect a weapon that you felt that it didn't need testing? Is it a Campaign / Customs only weapon? Does it have a "Plasma Repeater" version of it which is stronger? Will it appear on many maps? Will it ever appear in loadouts? What are the changes made to the weapon? Do you not care about B.U.N.G.L.E.? Come to think of it, where were the B.U.N.G.L.E. Signups for the Fall Season that were supposed to be on Bungie.net May 3rd? I never saw those. You promised that you would have them in the Halo 2 matchmaking message of the day thing. How will the blades be factored into the new melee system? How has the sound been beefed up? Since it is single wieldable, why wasn't their aesthetic changes to make it look more like a single-wieldable weapon? Do Brutes still fire it in one hand? Do Brutes actually use it's melee attack instead of slapping you? How much ammo will it hold? Is the rate of fire increased? Is there a ghost reticule for it which helps you to lead your shots? Do Spikes impale people to the walls? To the ceilings? Did you improve the Ricochet? Or take it out? I noticed the area above the drum is slightly different than in Halo 3. Why? Also, what's with the spike at the top of the grip? Is it supposed to be some sort of hammer for the gun? Or does it have some new sinister purpose? Will there be Spiker Gardens planted on most maps? Will there be special Spiker Spree Medals? What's the name of the medal you get for ten spiker kills without dieing? Will you increase the spawn times of it on the map because it's kinda annoying on map's like Rat's Nest when they take longer to spawn than the Rocket Launcher? Am I going to use up all 10,000 characters ranting about the Spiker? I sure as hell am going to try over the course of the beta. Do the spikes still glow super hot when they hit someone in the head? Does it take longer for them to despawn from a person's face? Because I kinda like leaving spike filled bodies around for my opponents to find. Are the spikes bigger? Do they have so much punch that they knock opponent's around? What changes will the B.U.N.G.L.E. Hawk Emblem see now that we can't dual wield Spikers? Will there be a B.U.N.G.L.E. Hawk Emblem for Player use in Reach? Or at least a Gamertag? Bungie.net Avatar? Bungie.net Theme? Group Theme? Will there be an Avatar for the Halo Reach Spiker, preferably oriented in the same way that the Halo 3 Spiker Avatar is? Is it possible to make a font for Microsoft Words that allows me to spell out letters using Spikers? Will Spikers be in your future projects? On a scale to one to ten, how much do you like Spikers? How many shots does it take to kill an elite? What about a Spartan? What about Brutes? Grunts? Hunters? Wraiths? Army Troopers? Jun? Prophets? Arbiters? Drinol? Oh snap Multi-variable Math Class in Five Minutes. Will the Spiker emit smoke as it fires, or have some grease bubbling out of the cracks of the gun? How do so many spikes fit into such a small drum? Are they magic? Is the glow of the barrel of the gun more pronounced? How exactly does the spiker fire? There are no holes for the spikes to come out of. Why are the blades made out of a tungsten alloy? What are the other metals in the alloy? I've seen spikers around the Bungie Studios. how many are there? Who made them? Are they sentient? Do they live in family groups? Can my stats page on Bungie.net have my Spartan Model holding a Spiker? If I begin firing my Spiker as I exit Sprint, will my spikes travel faster? Because I have a high initial velocity and with bullets as slow as the Spiker's it's got to make a noticeable difference. Are the Spikes deflected by Armor Lock? Or do they stick into the shield and fall out when the shield is turned off? Can I change my flight path with the jetpack using the recoil of the Spiker? If I fire the spiker straight up into the air, will the spikes eventually arc down and come raining down all over the map? Can the spikes exist as physical objects? So I could run up to a wall, embed a line of spikes into it, and use that as a jumping ledge to get to a higher platform? Can the Spikes ricochet more than once? How many spikers can we spawn in forge? Can we have Spiker Starts? How much do Spikers cost the Covenant to make in equivilant cR? Are they hand made on the Brute Homeworld? Do they employ Forerunner Technology or is it all Brute Engineering? What was the Halo 2 Spiker going to look like? How would it function? Were you heart broken when you cut it from the game? Did you cry yourself to sleep? Are the emotional scars healed now that it is in both Halo 3 and Halo Reach? Is there a story behind the first Spiker? What was the name of the Brute who invented it? What is the body of the Spiker made of? Does the new spiker look better now that it has more Polygons to work with? Can I use a Spiker instead of a knife in executions? Are you still reading? You better be. Are you going to show the Spiker off at E3? Are you going to take the time to explain all the functional changes to it? Are you going to give it it's own Vidoc? Podcast? TV Commercial? Blog Post? Weekly Update? Can we get a sound byte for it? Can there be a Spiker Emblem? Was the Spiker's return ensured or did it barely make the cut? Does the ghost of the SMG Haunt it? What causes the blue / yellow explosion at the end of the Spiker? Will there be a big stats page for the Spiker like there was for Halo 3? Is it still classified as a Type-25 Carbine? What do Carbines of Type-1 through Type 24 look like? Are there Carbines of higher types? Are they all Spikers? Or are some actually the Covenant Carbine? Has the Spiker Gained Weight between Halo 3 and Halo Reach? Or did it go on a diet? Because it weighed 7 kg when loaded and I'm not one to judge people but it weighs almost twice the weight of the Assault Rifle. What do you feed that thing? It's the size of a house. Why do the Soldiers of E2-BAG/1/7 suck so much? Do Brute Mess Kits really have three knives? Or do they just use a Spiker? Is the Spiker safe for food preperation? I won't get Tungsten Poisoning from it, right? Would dialing the poison control center save me? Can I give my opponents Tungsten Poisoning in game? From both the blades and the Spikes? Why isn't their a Spiker in the Legendary Edition? Or maybe you should make another Edition of Halo Reach called the Spiker Edition. And it comes with two spikers. That would be awesome. Do Brutes have to sharpen the Spiker's blades? Or are they cursed to never go dull? Do the feed on the blood of their foes to increase their own vitality? What is the grip of the gun made out of? Leather? Canvas? Brute Skin? I wouldn't put it past them. Can I use the Spiker as a Flashlight in Campaign? To get around the lack of dual wielding in the game can I duct tape two Spikers together? Or three? But where should I duct Tape it? Most the gun is covered by Blades. I wonder how many Spikers I could duct tape together and still pull all the triggers. Maybe if I thread a wooden dowel in front of all the triggers and just pull that? Does it take a lot of force to push the trigger down? Will there be Armor Permutations where my body is literally covered in Spikers? Can I change my player model so that I am a sentient colony of Spikers? Can I have a +5 Vorpal Holy Spiker of Returning? I could totally kill Dragons with that. Are Spikers reccomended for slaying Dragons? What about otters? Pea-blam!-? Can I perform battlefield surgery with Spikers? Not just amputations, but are the blades fine enough to be used in substitution for scapels? Is it sanitary? I suppose it doesn't matter, if they -blam!- about infection later, I'll tell them that they would have died without my help. And then they can follow me around and become my official Spiker Polisher. He can also cart about extra ammo. Maybe I could cut off his hands and fit Spikers into them. That would be sweet. He would like cut everything he tries to pick up. Does Sage trim his beard with a Spiker? Does Joe Tung's Beard suck so much because you took a Spiker to it while he was sleeping? Does a Spiker bounce if you drop it from a 4-story building? Or does it break? Probably not, it's too awesome to break. Unless it explodes. Creating a new type of grenade in the game. I throw the Spiker, it's blades embed into my opponent, then it explodes. Suck on that Needler. You think your so cool. And pink. And explosive. Think you got seniority punk? "Spikers just a recolor of the original," huh? When I get to play the beta today I am going to find you and I am going to toss you off the nearest cliff on Powerhouse. Bungie should make a cliff in Swordbase too so I can toss it off there as well. Preferably the gun I would pick up as I toss the Needler off the cliff would be the Spiker but SOMEONE didn't put it into the beta. You know, you still haven't answered that question. And that makes me mad. You won't like me when I'm mad. And I have an upgraded version of Evade that allows me to spindash. Like Sonic the Hedgehog. But with a Spiker. Kinda like Zero from Megaman. Do that little rolling slash thing that causes a cutter blade to form and fly into your face. You should definitely put that into the final game. Yeah. Oh snap running out of characters. I have so much more to say! Achronos! Fix ur damn website! It only allows 10,000 characters in a post! I like Spikers, so I clearly deserver more characters so I can discuss them more fully. Do spikers operate under water? So, to summarize, moar Spiker Info soon or my Roflknife will go slice slice slice slice slice. Have I made my point clear yet?

Please for the love of all that is holy do the MW2 thing and make it so the "chatty" social option means that you have to be in game chat to play. Nothing pisses me off more about Halo than getting into a match and being the only person not in chat. On the beta I was looking for people who were both team players and chatty because I enjoy playing as a TEAM. However 1 in 3 games I actually had 1 person with a mic, everyone else, either no mic, or they were using that nifty party chat system that Microsoft thought would revolutionize the XBox. How can you possibly play a team game when no one speaks? I might as well be playing lone wolves because no matter how many times I say shotgun in the yellow grav lift room, no one is there to listen. Please make this happen, or may the fleas from a thousand camels come to rest in your nether regions.

Hopefully in the fall there will be maps designed specifically for vehicle combat. One of the things that really separates Halo from other game franchises is its use of vehicles. This should be celebrated with a map or two that are really designed for vehicles like you did in Halo 2 (Containment, Coagulation, and Headlong). Headlong was a great because there was a balance of being able to use a vehicle or go on foot.

I would also like to see a completely aerial map. I found the complete lack of an aerial combat map for Halo 3 surprising when one considers the introduction of the hornet. I hope the hornet does return so there can be 4 vs 4 Hornet vs Banshee or it can be Banshee vs. Banshee. On that note though I would like to be able to finally be able to fly a pelican and a dropship. This isn't unreasonable, they've been part of every game and we are not allowed to pilot them because why?

Furthermore increase the max player size to 32. If people don't want to play with that many so be it. But we should have the option to play 16 on 16 or 32 FFA. Bandwidth is increasing and for some lucky town they're going to have a gigabit ethernet thanks to Google. Playing with lots of people can be hectic and completely lopsided, but sometimes they are incredibly close. These games in my opinion are the best because it requires a lot of teamwork with many people and I feel a greater accomplishment knowing I helped 7 other players win compared to 3.

Also I hope there are gametypes where special abilities are unlimited. I believe that the way they are set now is balanced and shouldn't be messed with. But it would be fun to just run, fly, or be invisible forever.

Since it is single wieldable, why wasn't their aesthetic changes to make it look more like a single-wieldable weapon? Do Brutes still fire it in one hand? Do Brutes actually use it's melee attack instead of slapping you? How much ammo will it hold? Is the rate of fire increased? Is there a ghost reticule for it which helps you to lead your shots? Do Spikes impale people to the walls? To the ceilings? Did you improve the Ricochet? Or take it out? I noticed the area above the drum is slightly different than in Halo 3. Why? Also, what's with the spike at the top of the grip? Is it supposed to be some sort of hammer for the gun? Or does it have some new sinister purpose? Will there be Spiker Gardens planted on most maps? Will there be special Spiker Spree Medals? What's the name of the medal you get for ten spiker kills without dieing? Will you increase the spawn times of it on the map because it's kinda annoying on map's like Rat's Nest when they take longer to spawn than the Rocket Launcher? Am I going to use up all 10,000 characters ranting about the Spiker? I sure as hell am going to try over the course of the beta. Do the spikes still glow super hot when they hit someone in the head? Does it take longer for them to despawn from a person's face? Because I kinda like leaving spike filled bodies around for my opponents to find. Are the spikes bigger? Do they have so much punch that they knock opponent's around? What changes will the B.U.N.G.L.E. Hawk Emblem see now that we can't dual wield Spikers? Will there be a B.U.N.G.L.E. Hawk Emblem for Player use in Reach? Or at least a Gamertag? Bungie.net Avatar? Bungie.net Theme? Group Theme? Will there be an Avatar for the Halo Reach Spiker, preferably oriented in the same way that the Halo 3 Spiker Avatar is? Is it possible to make a font for Microsoft Words that allows me to spell out letters using Spikers? Will Spikers be in your future projects? On a scale to one to ten, how much do you like Spikers? How many shots does it take to kill an elite? What about a Spartan? What about Brutes? Grunts? Hunters? Wraiths? Army Troopers? Jun? Prophets? Arbiters? Drinol? Oh snap Multi-variable Math Class in Five Minutes. Will the Spiker emit smoke as it fires, or have some grease bubbling out of the cracks of the gun? How do so many spikes fit into such a small drum? Are they magic? Is the glow of the barrel of the gun more pronounced? How exactly does the spiker fire? There are no holes for the spikes to come out of. Why are the blades made out of a tungsten alloy? What are the other metals in the alloy? I've seen spikers around the Bungie Studios. how many are there? Who made them? Are they sentient? Do they live in family groups? Can my stats page on Bungie.net have my Spartan Model holding a Spiker? If I begin firing my Spiker as I exit Sprint, will my spikes travel faster? Because I have a high initial velocity and with bullets as slow as the Spiker's it's got to make a noticeable difference. Or do they stick into the shield and fall out when the shield is turned off? Can I change my flight path with the jetpack using the recoil of the Spiker? If I fire the spiker straight up into the air, will the spikes eventually arc down and come raining down all over the map? Can the spikes exist as physical objects? So I could run up to a wall, embed a line of spikes into it, and use that as a jumping ledge to get to a higher platform? Can the Spikes ricochet more than once? How many spikers can we spawn in forge? Can we have Spiker Starts? How much do Spikers cost the Covenant to make in equivilant cR? Are they hand made on the Brute Homeworld? Do they employ Forerunner Technology or is it all Brute Engineering? What was the Halo 2 Spiker going to look like? How would it function? Were you heart broken when you cut it from the game? Did you cry yourself to sleep? Are the emotional scars healed now that it is in both Halo 3 and Halo Reach? Is there a story behind the first Spiker? What was the name of the Brute who invented it? What is the body of the Spiker made of? Does the new spiker look better now that it has more Polygons to work with? Can I use a Spiker instead of a knife in executions? Are you still reading? You better be. Are you going to show the Spiker off at E3? Are you going to take the time to explain all the functional changes to it? Are you going to give it it's own Vidoc? Podcast? TV Commercial? Blog Post? Weekly Update? Can we get a sound byte for it? Can there be a Spiker Emblem? Was the Spiker's return ensured or did it barely make the cut? Does the ghost of the SMG Haunt it? What causes the blue / yellow explosion at the end of the Spiker? Will there be a big stats page for the Spiker like there was for Halo 3? Is it still classified as a Type-25 Carbine? What do Carbines of Type-1 through Type 24 look like? Are there Carbines of higher types? Are they all Spikers? Or are some actually the Covenant Carbine? Has the Spiker Gained Weight between Halo 3 and Halo Reach? Or did it go on a diet? Because it weighed 7 kg when loaded and I'm not one to judge people but it weighs almost twice the weight of the Assault Rifle. What do you feed that thing? It's the size of a house. Why do the Soldiers of E2-BAG/1/7 suck so much? Do Brute Mess Kits really have three knives? Or do they just use a Spiker? Is the Spiker safe for food preperation? I won't get Tungsten Poisoning from it, right? Would dialing the poison control center save me? Can I give my opponents Tungsten Poisoning in game? From both the blades and the Spikes? Why isn't their a Spiker in the Legendary Edition? Or maybe you should make another Edition of Halo Reach called the Spiker Edition. And it comes with two spikers. That would be awesome. Do Brutes have to sharpen the Spiker's blades? Or are they cursed to never go dull? Do the feed on the blood of their foes to increase their own vitality? What is the grip of the gun made out of? Leather? Canvas? Brute Skin? I wouldn't put it past them. Can I use the Spiker as a Flashlight in Campaign? To get around the lack of dual wielding in the game can I duct tape two Spikers together? Or three? But where should I duct Tape it? Most the gun is covered by Blades. I wonder how many Spikers I could duct tape together and still pull all the triggers. Maybe if I thread a wooden dowel in front of all the triggers and just pull that? Does it take a lot of force to push the trigger down? Will there be Armor Permutations where my body is literally covered in Spikers? Can I change my player model so that I am a sentient colony of Spikers? Can I have a Vorpal Holy Spiker of Returning? I could totally kill Dragons with that. Are Spikers reccomended for slaying Dragons? What about otters? Pea-blam!-? Can I perform battlefield surgery with Spikers? Not just amputations, but are the blades fine enough to be used in substitution for scapels? Is it sanitary? I suppose it doesn't matter, if they -blam!- about infection later, I'll tell them that they would have died without my help. And then they can follow me around and become my official Spiker Polisher. He can also cart about extra ammo. Maybe I could cut off his hands and fit Spikers into them. That would be sweet. He would like cut everything he tries to pick up. Does Sage trim his beard with a Spiker? Does Joe Tung's Beard suck so much because you took a Spiker to it while he was sleeping? Does a Spiker bounce if you drop it from a 4-story building? Or does it break? Probably not, it's too awesome to break. Unless it explodes. Creating a new type of grenade in the game. I throw the Spiker, it's blades embed into my opponent, then it explodes. Suck on that Needler. You think your so cool. And pink. And explosive. Think you got seniority punk? "Spikers just a recolor of the original," huh? When I get to play the beta today I am going to find you and I am going to toss you off the nearest cliff on Powerhouse. Bungie should make a cliff in Swordbase too so I can toss it off there as well. Preferably the gun I would pick up as I toss the Needler off the cliff would be the Spiker but SOMEONE didn't put it into the beta. You know, you still haven't answered that question. And that makes me mad. You won't like me when I'm mad. And I have an upgraded version of Evade that allows me to spindash. Like Sonic the Hedgehog. But with a Spiker. Kinda like Zero from Megaman. Do that little rolling slash thing that causes a cutter blade to form and fly into your face. You should definitely put that into the final game. Yeah. Oh snap running out of characters. I have so much more to say! Achronos! Fix ur damn website! It only allows 10,000 characters in a post! I like Spikers, so I clearly deserver more characters so I can discuss them more fully. Do spikers operate under water? So, to summarize, moar Spiker Info soon or my Roflknife will go slice slice slice slice. Have I made my point clear yet?

What the -blam!- Bungie?! Do you guys play more Call of Duty than Halo 3? I feel like you purposely made Halo into COD in order to appeal to a different group of people. Are you not making enough money? What's the deal...

In doing that you lost a lot of Halo fans, I could give you examples but I'm sure you're all busy reading an opinionated nightmare. I don't want to play some retarded stepchild of a game Call of Reach, it's bull-blam!-.

So in the past spartans had sprint and armor lock, but in the future they lost technology? Good luck getting that story to fly. Give me Halo back.

(Sorry about that, but you asked for it.)

Did you not find it important enough to test for the beta? Or was it so perfect a weapon that you felt that it didn't need testing? Is it a Campaign / Customs only weapon? Does it have a "Plasma Repeater" version of it which is stronger? Will it appear on many maps? Will it ever appear in loadouts? What are the changes made to the weapon? Do you not care about B.U.N.G.L.E.? Come to think of it, where were the B.U.N.G.L.E. Signups for the Fall Season that were supposed to be on Bungie.net May 3rd? I never saw those.
