It was a good idea, but poorly implemented.

It was an okay idea, but poorly implemented. All of them have an issue that sets me back from truly enjoying them in MP. FF and Campaign, I'm all for them. I tend to use Sprint, because it along with Hologram are the least douchey,
Why are you a Halo fan?
My first 2 games for the OG Xbox were SW:BF and Halo. I got bored of playing the same levels over again in Battlefront, so I popped in Halo when I had a friend over. We played through the entire Campaign from 9PM to about 4AM. The moment the Flood showed up, we both decided to take a small break. It ended up being about 2 minutes just to get snacks, and start playing again. Since then, I've bought all of the games and about half of the books. I find the story to be simple, yet enticing. MP usually draws me back in, but Reach leaves a somewhat sour taste in my mouth.

I can't keep up with them (there seem to be new ones every time I log on; there are far too many), but these days I mostly play BTB/Premium Battle with friends, so those. Anything that has teams of 4-6 with objectives, I guess, though if I'm by myself I'm more likely to hit Team Slayer.

Opinion on reticule bloom.
Fine via LAN or with an excellent host, but otherwise draws further attention to the effects of latency. It does feel good when it works, though, and I don't have nearly the hatred of it others seem to.
Opinion on Armor Abilities and what's the one you usually favor in MP.
Not inherently bad but not nearly as well-executed as they could have been, and AL is significantly more useful (and so overpowered) than the others. Personally, I use Evade and Hologram where they are available, and otherwise stick with Sprint.
Why are you a Halo fan?
I wasn't a fan from the start: as a jaded PC gamer, I bought an Xbox a few years after Halo: CE came out and played through it with little interest or excitement. It wasn't until Halo 2 was coming out and people were gushing about the potential of Live multiplayer that I thought I should get some practice in order to be able to compete, so I went back and played CE again on Legendary. This made me appreciate it much more (though I still consider it the weakest of the games in many respects). Halo 2's multiplayer then cemented my love of the series.
My actual answer, though, is that Bungie are one of the few developers who seem to recognize the importance of agency in videogames, of having a 'wide corridor' experience that is variable and stands up to repeat play. They 'get' what a shooter should be beyond the raw spectacle: a robust and highly interactive experience that doesn't rely on smoke, mirrors, and mid-90s AI. Almost no one else does.

Why are you a Halo fan?
I just started dating the woman who would become my wife in the early part of 2002, and at the time I hadn't played a video game since the Intellivision years (yes, I'm that old). She asked me if I ever heard of a game that she was playing called Halo: Combat Evolved and we then proceeded to spend many a night playing Co-op campaign and 1v1-ing each other on the MP maps (hour long matches on Sidewinder, seriously). From then on I was hooked by the story and the gameplay, and now I'm just another Halo junkie waiting out the workday to get my fix in.
Oddly enough, my mania for Halo has since turned my wife off to playing it with me. At least that's what she says; I think it's because she can't kick my ass anymore.

You know, as a playlist, I enjoy Premium Battle a lot more than Reach's BTB playlist. A lot of that has to do with the maps. Reach's only worthwhile BTB maps, and, indeed, what I think are its two best maps by quite a large margin, appear in Premium Battle quite often. Not so in BTB.

Yeah, but that'd be because everyone would use it everywhere in a theoretical Halo 1 matchmaking or lobby setup. This would be cordoned off in a special playlist or just there as a Forge object to complete the tease from Tombstone. Actually some of the maps would have PP start, so maybe they'll finally make use of the Map Default weapon spawn setting like Certain Affinity did for Tombstone (which I feel was a mistake on their part, but it's not like Halo 2 is online anymore)
The pistol would more than likely have fixed bloom. The original weapon in Halo 1 has bloom, but there was a bug that mashing the trigger resets the bloom because the programmer made the bloom based off controller input frequency and not actually checking to see when the weapon was last fired, and probably also assumed nobody would notice in campaign. They did have only five months.
It's true bloom is still quite small though, so it'd still be a handcannon. Or they would just make it's bloom reset really fast. Or simulate the bug (which is what I think they will do, if they include the H1 pistol as a Forge Object) and give it no bloom like they did the Halo 2 BR (damn thing has even less bloom than the sniper rifle in 2), which makes the Halo 2 BR technically worse in terms of destroying the sandbox and being a unitool.
Every Halo since 1 (2/3/Reach) has momentum as part of the movement though, so I don't think they'd be changing movement physics as that is pretty hard baked into the engine and honestly 'feels' better anyway. Halo 1 didn't really have a concept of momentum because it was ported from a PC world where you were moving with digital WASD instead of analog joystick. If anybody remembers, you can even use the Dpad instead of the left stick in Halo 1.

Turf (<3) and Highground. I don't know why I like Highground so much. Probably cause I've spent the most time on it, and it was in the beta. Fell in love with it.
Do you prefer BTB or MLG?
BTB
Competitive multiplayer or Firefight?
Firefight. I prefer social/custom multiplayer to competitive.
Games completed on Legendary.
Halo, Halo2, Halo 3, ODST, Reach
Are you EazyB?
No, I am HardO
Favorite Campaign missions (all games).
The Library on Legendary. Only one that jumps out at me right now.
Favorite Reach playlists.
Firefight Limited, Firefight Arcade and SWAT (when I feel like shooting myself in the foot). Slayer and BTB/Invasion if there's a full/3-4 party.
Size of frankie erotica folder (in megabytes).
Wife is wondering about my sexual orientation.
Opinion on reticule bloom.
I've only noticed it lately. I think the bloom needs to work in MY favor for once, rather than always being on the shit end of the stick.
Opinion on Armor Abilities and what's the one you usually favor in MP.
Sprint. Pretty much the only one I use, unless it's Paradiso. Hate that map. I'll run AL if there's an abundance of vehicles.
Why are you a Halo fan?
Why AREN'T I a Halo fan?
Truth be told, I used to hate this series. Then I saw the trailer for Halo 3, and said, "What's going on here?". Played through 1 and 2, and fell in love. I was wrong to doubt you.

Why do people like Terminal so much? It was bad for everything but 1 flag and assault IMO.

Wasn't there like a year wait between Mythic Part One and then ODST dropping with the final maps - then Mythic Part Two went on sale months after that?
That seemed like a massive year + drought between DLC availability. I doubt we'll see one before CEA or even after. And Frankie confirmed the CEA DLC will be available outside of CEA sooner than the ODST window.
The CEA DLC is like two releases in one, making four altogether. If I recall Halo 3 was originally meant to have four too, until Mythic was split up.
It still might be possible to see another DLC next year. Then again we'll have Halo 4 next year and most likely a beta event too.

Really nice article, well written and fun! I can draw some parallels with yor Halo experience, only you are 2 years older than I am. I think I started to play Halo CE when I was 8 years old

Because it played 1 Flag and Assault so well. Halo needs to get back to the gametype-specific maps and stop with the 'jack of all trades, master of none' blandness.The Real Napsta said:
And for the same reason: the Mythic maps were all completed at the same time, but the second half were held back to be tied into ODST. Though in this case the bundling seems to be planned more in advance.Dani said:
The DLC does seem to be about parity, as Halo 3 saw Heroic and Legendary, then Cold Storage, then the two Mythic maps, for a total of 13 DLC maps. With Reach we get Noble and Mythic, then the seven in the CEA, for a total of 13. (Though, 11 MP and 2 FF.)
I'm also not expecting any other Reach maps, as I think once CEA hits, the focus will shift to Halo 4. Beta in spring, tied to CEA, etc.
Dani said:
All of Mythic was done roughly around August 2008. Was supposed to originally release as the "Mythic Collection"
Mythic 1 came out 7 months later with Halo Wars and then 8 months later to the general public.
Mythic 2 came out 1 year and 1 month later as part of Halo 3: Mythic and 1 year 6 months later to the general public as the Mythic 2 Map Pack.
From Assembly's FIRST mention of existing to general public release was November 2008 -> March 2010. Assembly was also originally part of the Legendary Map Pack, I believe they switched it out with Blackout.
You can pretty much draw a distinct line in MS's interference and manipulation and planning of DLC release between when Peter Moore left and Don Mattrick came in. Mattrick was the one that stopped the DLC eventually going free and was the one that delayed ODST and split up Mythic, forcing Bungie to not even be able to publically acknowledge maps that were explicitly named in the damned achievements for TU2.

What I'm getting out of that is we need another Cold Storage. How exactly did that map come about again? It was sponsored by Mountain Dew, right?
Dream sequence:
Bungie releases a secret Covenant Forge World map on Bungie day for free. Sponsored by Penrose's Tijuana Mamas.
Completely ridiculous, but something like that would have been awesome. Hell, I'd pay $5 for just one map if it was a new Forge World with a different color palette and textures. Don't get me wrong, I'm still pretty happy with the amount of awesome stuff coming on Bungie Day. Can't wait to earn me some steak.
Dream sequences aside, here's a serious question:
Would it be feasible for 343i to rerelease the Defiant Map Pack with compatibility for the Classic++ Playlist? Just update the map files with whatever magic they're pouring into the CEA maps? That could be related to that mysterious helmet we saw in the trailer...
Another good question:
Will Halo: CE Anniversary be able to access Reach DLC?

I believe but cannot 100% confirm (going off memory) that Bungie essentially had the choice of either
1) making it free, but it could only show up in playlists that required Legendary
2) Charging 160-200msp for it, but it could show up in any playlist
They chose 1
Oh man, now I just remembered that whole business with Cold Storage only being able to be in lists that required Legendary. That was so silly on MS's part.
