I know that feel, bro.
Because if they inform people how to play, then they just might play something that isn't Slayer.
WE CANT HAVE THAT

It must be fixed if they want to keep bleedthrough.
Yeah. Then there would be no excuse for Objective holding. Except you can't read.

Real talk, I want to hear reasons why.
Because it was intended is not a reason. Concrete gameplay examples of why vanilla settings are better.
The only thing I like about vanilla at this point is the fact that bullet bleedthrough doesn't happen, and health packs actually work.
I don't know if melee bleedthrough and no-bullet bleedthrough can coexist. If possible, I would prefer not to have bullet bleedthrough, but I definitely would keep melee bleedthrough.
100% bloom is horrific tho, 85% is decent, ZB is best.

So the menu UI could look sexier.

Reach's UI is the best looking one, I booted up Halo 3 last night after 10 months and I was freaking out by how messy and ugly menus were.
Blue and orange everywhere, hugeass fonts... not cool.
I hope they get rid of the blue menus for H4 and give us some Alien/Forerunner concept ala Reach.
Do it, it's a good pic.Nice, just found myself. I'm on top of GAF's logo.

Sorry man, I don't really do wall of text or explain why. Vanilla is better, because I enjoy it more. Plain and simple. I love REACH not the TU stuff. The one play-list I play the most...meh... Didn't think they would change all the play-lists to TU :/ Will play the DLC required, but still RIP BTB
I don't know but they need the high res version of the logo from m0dus
So was there a backlash against correcting the huge spread the BR had in Halo 2, like we have reducing 100% bloom down to 85% now?
Maybe there wasn't as much bitching because the internet-bitching-about-everything wasn't as easily possible back in... whatever year that happened.

Its not too complicated I'll explain it in short. Remember whether or not you like Vanilla Reach settings and how it plays is entirely your opinion but this is why.
Entire sandbox was built around weapons damage and rof and so on, throwing no/low bloom into the mix distorts it.
A lot of weapons, abilities, are basically the same but then have diff pros and cons in different ways. This is also distorted and the balance is thrown off.
Whether you agree with the way everything that was balanced to begin with is also completely opinions.
I mean in this case neoism just seems to like vanilla settings better. Thats the way the game was originally intended to play like.
booooooooooo at every opinion in this post

You may agree or disagree on the artistic style but when speaking about overall UI organization Reach is a huge step fordward from 3.

I'm with Gabo. Reach UI is best UI, both functionally and aesthetically.

Reach's UI is the cash moneyz.
Best UI in in Bungie's games by far.

I preferred the blue + 3d backgrounds + minimalistic text, it looked so classy imo. Grey/green + grainy 2d backgrounds + clusterfuck of text and shapes just screams generic dudebro cod-like shooter to me. Having to shift the whole menu left and right rubs me the wrong way too for some reason.
I do realize I'm alone on this.

With Marcus Lehto at Reach's helm, it's no surprise the UI is bloody gorgeous. Stylistically, I think I preferred Halo 3's minimal and purposely muted approach but Reach's UI is just a joy to look at and use.
lol I just played him today.
Unintentional I'm sure, still laughed.
UI? Don't we have Candland to thank for that?

I was just thinking that with Lehto being the Creative Director on Reach, with his history as Art Director and art background, and with the UI being the element a typical player spends a long time with, I'm not surprised at how awesome it is and how sweet it frames concept art. Of course Candland worked his magic implementing it.

Speaking of UI, Halo 3 Mythic > regular Halo 3.

I used to lean forward with every melee. Still do a little but not as much as I used to.
I lean when I strafe in FPS games and when I turn in racing games.
I'm just glad Kinect isn't tracking me during multiplayer.
...or is it?
so weird playing other multiplayer games without active roster. How am I supposed to know when the match is over, when should I join, is there even room for me to join?

Frankie said there will be no Halo 4 at CES.
Taking the concept art, adding the 'depth' to them and using them as backgrounds was simply gorgeous.
Yeah it's pretty awesome. I do wish that you could push a button to pull up active roster when you are already in a game lobby or searching for one though.
EDIT: nevermind, I'm in.
you're making a very dangerous mistake, friend.
