Is the Reach campaign worth playing through or is MP the real gem?

Even max FOV still feels tight lol. Anyone else having an issue where you're in the middle of a match and the screen goes black and the scoreboard comes up for 5 seconds and then you reload into the match and select your class again? I don't understand why it is happening.

wuggles posted:I played one really bad game and one really good game, and then tried some campaign. The audio is mixed very poorly and there are no subtitles outside of cinematics so I truly had no idea what was being said to me. I don't understand what would be so hard about putting in dialogue subtitles during gameplay, a deaf person isn't going to stand a chance knowing what to do in some spots.

RBA Starblade posted:Normal Firefight's p easy if you take cover and hold a point but Generator Defense usually leads to two of them dying almost immediately, whether or not you put them in lockdown. I've only had one normal game (the rest Generator) and that was the one that was the most easy for sure.

This drat matchmaker needs to have a confirmation for at least a few seconds to make sure you aren't actually idle as 100% of the time I'm not.

RBA Starblade posted:The Drop Shield is an armor ability in Halo Reach. You can spawn with it as well as have it as a map spawn. If Halo CE is out in February then it should all be done by this time next year - who knows if it won't be a huge mess that takes another 2 years to fix though. Reach did get delayed half a year and still has problems.

Odd posted:Is there a synopsis of all the different Multiplayer modes in Reach? Having never played halo MP in any form before, opening the multiplayer menu was... daunting. I managed to play uhhh, 3 games, didn't really understand what was going on, and died a lot. I also somehow got one season 'point' and got a helmet or something. Grifball is about hammering your BFF into the couch.

The art style does come across as very plasticy - but it's going to be way too late to fix that now. The Original trailer they showed the other year had the same look. It honestly gives me similar vibes to Zelda Breath of the Wild.

Arcsquad12 posted:I've discovered that I hate Snipers matches so I'm happy I can specifically remove it from the game type Playlist. I liked them until it became clear that the top players had just started using controllers to get a 4:1 score ratio over everyone else. I'm playing Halo 3 campaign finally and it seems like a pretty big narrative downgrade over two. Chief has like 3 lines, the Arbiter doesn't talk much and is only with you for some parts of some missions. Johnson gets the most lines but he's never really doing anything but saying how badly he's getting hosed up. And Truth's new Voice Actor sucks.

I feel Halo 2 told a story with characters. Halo 3 was 8 hours of set pieces - good gameplay but not much of a narrative.
