Subject: Is Bungie going to cater to the scrubs?

Posted by: Rocket Turtle95
i think we need 3 distinct game catagories:
Social: random gametypes with different weapon starts (like social slayer now)
Ranked: BR (or equivalent) starts only. A mixture of objective and slayer modes. perfect for people like me, the majority of halo's audience
Hardcore: MLG, SWAT etc.
of course these catagories would have different playlists within them.
I think this pretty much pleases everyone.
Perfect. similar to what we have now, but better and more organized.

I am laughing like hell at all of the flaming in this thread. Just wanted to pop in and say:

Bad players should get stomped by good players. The bad players do not deserve to get a few kills against someone better than them per game just because of some random luck that screws over the better player. If the game took more skill to master (like Halo 1 did), then the bad player would not even be playing the good player, so there would be no need for that but of randomness that would help him have "fun" and cause the better player to not have fun.

If the game took more skill, then the bad players and good players would get separated very fast. Good players play other good players, and in a more skill oriented environment, they have more fun knowing they deserve the deaths they got. Bad players play other bad players, and they have more fun because though they can't aim well, the guy they're going against is just as bad at strafing.

It's simple. You make the game take less skill, you cater to the casual majority. You make the game take more skill, you cater to the casual majority AND the hardcore minority (thanks to the ranking system).
Agreed.

Man your the scrub OP.

Stop being a complete ass and let everyone enjoy the game.
Agreed he is an ass. But with a game that is so random and not so skill based, the only people who are enjoying the game as much as possible are the "casual" (or whatever you call them) gamers.

If the game was more skill based, like Halo 1, the ranking system would work and bad players would play bad players, average players average players, good players good players, great players great players. So nobody would be getting owned; the bad player who cant aim well is going against someone who cant strafe well.

Everyone is happy if the game takes more skill.

Would you care to enlighten me on how more skill=not broken rank system?

Simply put, better players win, they rank up. Better players face better players. Bad players don't win as much, they don't rank up as much. Thus, bad players face bad players.

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

I play social, I don't fully concentrate, I betray mates for laughs, and I go goosin'.

In other words, I enjoy the game.

Yarp.

I only betray as a joke and they don't care, though.

A lot of people in this thread should probably be banned for various reasons (both who agree with OP and those against) - so for the sake of all of you, I'm going to shut this discussion down.
