Two problems I've noticed with Reach.

Ok, I start playing Reach, it looks awesome. I get into my first Covenant encounter and the frame rate drops! By a lot! This happens pretty often, and it makes it hard to play the game, especially on harder difficulties. Second issue is this, the AI of any NPC driving a Warthog for you is terrible! I don't know what it is, but its the worst out of the entire series!

Is anyone else having this problem? If so I really hope there is an update soon.

Yeah, I had the same problem, it's really annoying. Did you notice lots of little glitches in the game like ostriches disappearing?

The bad AI driving has been in every halo game not just this one and has been mentioned in ever review for this game.

As for the frame rate drop no i do not have frame rate issues.

I've only played for about an hour so far, and I have noticed some frame rate problems. Not the greatest graphics in the world, so I don't see why it would have problems with the frame rates.

in after RapidTurtle

Haven't noticed the terrible driving AI as haven't let an NPC drive yet. But I'm not shocked, thats been an issue since Halo 2.

When I read the review on GS and saw the bit about the framerate dropping, I just dismissed it and thought "Halo has always had steady framerates, they're just blowing it out of proportion". Then I played the Campaign and found it quite noticable.

HOWEVER, that was only the first mission and the game ran buttery smooth after that.

The framerate does get nasty to be honest, but bad driving AI is how it's always been... That one isn't worth mentioning. You made no mention of the amount of motion blur in cut scenes and campaign. (MP & FF look fine) Its still fun I'm just surprised at the lack of polish. Sever lack of polish...YoungSinatra25

Yeah, forgot to mention the weird little ghosting effect in cutscenes. But again, I only noticed it in the first mission and everything was grand after that.

I haven't had anhy problems like that

they could patch this right

The only thing I fine very very annoying about reach is that while playing multiplayer the games looks absolutely stunning... but when I play it on co op im really dissapointed in how it looks. Its like major amounts of textures are missing and it looks way choppy. It doesnt take away from the fun gameplay, and I understand probably why they did it, but dang I wish they could fix that somehow

you must not play that many games then...lol

I noticed this as well. Its strange I agree, but whats ever stranger is that I stopped noticing it after the 2nd level. I thought it was going to kill my Legendary Solo playthrough, but it seems to die down for some reason, which is weird because later missions seem far more graphically intensive than the first two. Maybe its still there and I've just become used to it, but I'm on Tip of the Spear and haven't noticed anything in awhile.

Yes, I've played all the Halo's, and I play a lot of other games. You're losing focus of the thread. The AI driving in Reach is the worst I've seen out of all the Halo's. It's a very simply statement.

Answer the question or GTFO...

down with reach............ arg its so annoying i hate halo fps games but i cant play any others because everyone is on reach. cod is the only one with man people on it and tbh thats worse than halo. give me my gears comunity back and my halo wars one as wellInFlamesForEver
