DO THE IMPOSSIBLE.

It's strange how MLG Players and Pros complain about playing with Noobs when they spend their money buying more accounts and starting from scratch for possibly a 5th time.

XBOX LIVE ACCOUNT SELLING IS NOT A BUSSINESS.

I'd say it's in a way the console version of Drug Dealing - You're only making it worse for yourselves.

R.I.P. Halo 2
11/9/04 - 4/15/10

- B( )B

I will be very pissed off.

If Halo: Reach is geared even more towards casual players than Halo 3, how are you going to feel about it?



Posted by: jfarag95
I personally am going to be VERY unhappy. I am tired of all the threads and things complaining about how the BR is overpowered. If they don't have a weapon with a scope, that kills in less that 4 shots, with more than 4 shots in the clip, I'm going to freak.


Wait, so you want a BR that kills faster? It's fine the way it is.

Yeah, it's not overpowered guys. It's overused. There's a very distinct difference.

If they don't have a way of running the flag, I'm going to freak.


You mean flag shuffling? What? Bungie never even created that. I may have missed something, but yeah I do hope that there is a way to run the flag nonetheless.

Posted by: jfarag95
If they have 10 too many rapid fire weapons, I'm going to freak.


Agreed. It makes a lot of weapons, like the spiker useless.

How will you feel if this game is geared toward "Weekend Warriors" or people who play once a month?


I know what you mean here, but this is a poor stereotype. I normally play Halo on the weekends, occasionally during the week. This game doesn't need to become 100% hardcore, but I don't want it becoming a very easy-go game. I want challenge. So I somewhat agree with you; we aren't going to please everyone, so we have to go one way or another, but don't make the game so biased towards one gaming group and ruin the enjoyment for others. Keep it balanced.

1. How is the BR unfair when everyone starts with it. this is how you can tell if someone wants to get rid of it because its unfair or because they suck with it.

2. Why would you want a pistol for start unless its halo ce's the H3 magnum is to weak of a weapon

3. I dont know why the -blam!- your talking about elements

4. A. Guardian is a good map
B. The map is Bungies fault not MLG's
C. Its in MlG because it a good 4v4 map

1. It is too powerfun compaired to the other weapons.
2. The pistol is actally extreamly powerfun, provided you know how to use it.
3. Because I can, and most noobs call you a Bk after something(I never know what, maybe its because the lost?)
4.A.remember what i said, it is a crap map for most gametypes save 1v1 and MJ.
4.B.The map is a converted part of a scrapped Campain map.
4.C.It is not good at all for Eight people, unless they are all going solo. The best 4v4 maps are the medium maps, such as the pit and last resort.
5. One group of people can decide on how a game should be like, just because it does not fit thier wants? Blasphamy, I say. The world is just starting to come out of the wost economic slowdown scince the great depression, so why would some group of people(majority is filled with wannabe's) have the right to make a game be more focused on them? awnser, they don't, the creators creat the games, you just play them.
6. Unhappy about how Halo is? Make your own Halo game. Have fun getting past all the copyright laws....

Um, I feel like you just contradicted yourself.
Bungie does NOT have a bad ranking system.

Here's how it began;

1. MLG sells high rank account, noob claims it in exchange for money or microsoft points.

2. You meet this noob in Matchmaking.

3. You get annoyed at the Ranking system and go sell your account so you might have a high chance of fighting MLG Players who also did the same thing when you create a new account, unless you continue to play with your original account and pray things get better.

This is 'attachment to Halo a lil' bit too much' and is also the reason things are the way they are now.

Halo is a CASUAL game and always has been.

MLG is the gaming form of 4Chan but replace all the sick twisted stuff with obsession and professionalism;
They hop from game to game, and eventually end up ruining the franchise.

Unfortunately, I bet you can name a few games which have had this happen to them.

Halo CE had the pistol which is a good weapon

Halo 2's BR was wore with not having to lead your shot or a bullet spread. people think it wasnt overpowered because they couldnt AR whore like H3

We give people like the one above the Mlg wannabe tag because it thinks it has power over the majority. It also thinks that everyone, but itself, sucks and that a simple weapon is the reason for buying a game, A FU**ING GAME.

I agree that selling a 50 is stupid and MLG players that have to deal with a bad teammate feel this way too

I would say the ranking system is bad because if you have a lot of exp in a playlist you have to win like 10 games in a row to lvl up

Halo has not always been casual its been decreasing in the skill it takes each game.

The BR is not overpowered. It's a utility weapon, like they wanted it to be. Running the flag is an exploit. It doesn't matter if they allow it, it is still an exploit. If you don't buy it, I will not care.

Hah, I already have, multiple times. I cannot do it in ranked sadly. My ranks on this account are all over 40 besides Team Throwback, and that playlist has BR starts.

Links, or it never happend.
Oh, you really do care about ranks.......that qualifies as a noob to me. I'm preaty much positive that you will eventually use your rank as a fulcrum for future rants. I've seen that happen before, and I expect it to happen in this thread.
EDIT: i higly dout that any playlist has a weapon made out of Bromine at the start.(Bromine is a Halogen located in Group 17, Period 4 on the periodic table of elements. Bromine is a gas similar to Hydrogen, Chlorine, Iodine, Astatine(which is radioactive), and Florine.)


Dumb post is dumb, on the Periodic Table of Elements, There is one capital letter, and one lowercase. (Br)

until halo 3 the multi-player was not the core of Halo, and if you play the Older games you will realize how much funner they were, and ODST for example a vast Upgrade to halo 3s campaign. I mean halo 3 had a lot off cool things in campaign, scarab fights and it did look amazing. but for the Most part all the UNMC sounded like BB guns, it was very slow paced, and half the Guns were actually purpose built bludgeoning tools.


- I would much rather have Fun guns instead of balanced guns

- capture the flag is a very simple game why dose it need editing


- it's not the the BR is overpowered, its just the rest of the Guns are either the Carbine, Snipers, Magnum, or Bludgeoning tools

and if you like Halo 3 stick with it, that why i still don't have a copy of Halo 3, i thought it was absolute -blam!-.

-if anything it should be geared towards people who enjoy shooting space aliens.

And BTW, just by the fact that you care about the BRs power says your not a very skilled player, a skilled player just need any head shot weapon and 1 grenade

The BR is too good at every range. At close range you can get easy kills by using a melee and one headshot, at long range you can keep someone's shields down and force them to take cover, at medium range you can kill someone very quickly.

It should only be effective at short-medium to short long range.

It should be what it is supposed to be, a marksman weapon, not the ace of all trades.
