Well of course not every games perfect, why would Reach be? Here is a place for you to address (not whine) about some issues that you feel should be patched or fixed.
1) Beat downs will not kill someone unless you completely break their shield. In other words you need to 4 shot beat them down. In Halo 2 and 3 you could just shoot them twice and beat them down. I really hope they patch this otherwise beat downs are pretty pointless (unless your sprinting and going for a double beat down).
2) Only one person can watch a video in theater mode, in Halo 3 you could have 4. This makes no sense at all, I have no clue why they would only allow one. Most people like to watch videos together to show people and talk to them about it. Everyone I know dislikes that it's only 1 person allowed. This is a completely backwards step that they made here.
3) DMR is a 5 shot to kill, I would rather have it be a 4 shot. It shoots slightly faster than a BR though so they say it doesn't really make a difference. I kind of liked the BR spread as compared to the single DMR shot though. Maybe I just miss the BR.
4) The special assassinations look cool and all but all it does is waste time when your playing. I know you have to hold it in order to go into it but sometimes I do it accidentally and it gets me killed. There should be an option to completely remove it from gameplay so that it doesn't happen accidentally and mess you up. This really only applies to competitive gameplay.
5) Maps, really bungie your maps get worse every single video game. Thank god forge is amazing otherwise I would be annoyed. Can't wait for all those forge pros to go crazy and make some amazing maps.
6) Sword, if you beat down a sword guy swinging at you it won't kill you. I guess they really wanted to make the sword worse and worse each game. In halo 2 you could lunge really far and swing it really quickly so stopping the sword was almost impossible. Halo 3 it doesnt lunge as far and the swing is slower so its easier to kill. Halo Reach it has a slightly shorter lunge and if you sword a guy and he melees at the same time it won't kill him. Leaving time for him to maybe luckily escape or for an enemy teammate to kill the you before you finish the job. This one isn't a big deal, more of an observation.
7) Rockets and Shotgun, both are way too overpowered. If their was a scope on the shotgun I bet you could shoot people across the map.
8) Pistol, should be more ammo in each clip. I find that it's pretty pointless to use considering you have to reload with it every second resulting in you most likely dieing. It seems to be better than a dmr up close though.
If I didn't cover them all feel free to mention some lol. Also please comment if you think I am wrong or right on whatever I said.
