So, wait, if we disagree with you, that means that we have never played Class Games? Because I have. Got bored of TF2 after only 5 games.
No, it just means you sucked at TF2.

Just ruining your case, Sh1n1ng Wolf.
Five games is nothing, I've played the Halo games for a looooong time, and an extra option for class based games wouldn't hurt anyone, and it would probably bring in more players than it would shoo away.

I'm sorry, but I want to try Oranges after eating Apples for years.

Although I do stand by my point that you must have sucked at TF2.

This is why you lost my respect a long time ago.

A real test of a man is if he is willing to scrape a sharpened razor up and down his junk just to please a woman.

no the rush for the power weapons is how halo 3 goes. and i read and still think its to much like cod.
...Go ask any good TF2 player how much it and COD4 are alike, then I'll listen to your argument...

EDIT: Oh, it's the immaturity.

Yes, it's perfectly logical that I sucked at TF2 because I didn't care for it.

Yes it is perfectly loggical, because people who suck at that game tend to not like playing the game.

Heh, heh. You know, I actually did pretty good in it. I prefer, however, the ability to pick up and drop weapons over being stuck with the same ones until I die. I prefer to play a game where everyone doesn't have a rocket launcher.

Oh, yeah, balancing out classes takes out the point of having classes. Being able to pick up and drop weapons also takes out the point of classes.

Want classes? pick up a game that has them.

Looking to hook up with some competent players! Please PM me if you want a decent team mate, looking to learn from good players and impart what I know to the team too. Im sick of going 'randy' and getting betrayed for the sniper etc.. and having to put up with BK team mates

No I like the freedom of being any class I choose by simply picking up a weapon. For organised team games, usually the members get weapons that are based on their strengths so in someway you have the presence of classes anyway such as the Leader, support, specialist or CQB, each one of these so called 'classes' usually uses certain weapons that pertain to their class for example CQB, shot gun, mauler, stickies etc...

Like I said I like the freedom Halo gives us as it is. And it would be pointless having a game type that restricts this freedom
Halo doesn't have much freedom, it is first come first serve game play, and I'm sick of having a noob grab a shotty then waste it rushing into the enemy base. This idea is also only an OPTION, no one would be touching Halo's classic formula, which kicks ass by the way, but I've used it enough so I'm pretty sick of it.

Classes also do exist in a small way in Halo, so please don't give me that bull s#$% that they have no place here.

Infection games can have people starting with different weapons and stats. However its not nearly in depth enough to be considered a true class based game type, it only supports a maximum of three different classes (Human, infected, alpha) and you're forced to become infected when you are killed by one.


Did you not read my post wolfy?

Where do I say classes have no place in Halo? The class you become is determined by the weapons you choose and role you play in the team dynamic, not by being restricted by spawning with a set type of weapon.

As for your claim that your sick of the 'noobs rushing into the base with the shotgun and wasting it', well two things - it will respawn and, why don't you go in with a party and communicate with each other? Strategize, plan your fight.

The last thing I would say is if you like the COD class based formula so much and your sick of halos 'classic formula', go play COD.

Oh, yeah, balancing out classes takes out the point of having classes. Being able to pick up and drop weapons also takes out the point of classes.
The entire freaking point of classes is for a certain class to excel in certain areas while being weak in others, and to use team work to work around the weaknesses and kick your opponents in their nads as opposed to your team just going "BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM MASHIIIIIINE GUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNUNUNUNUNUN!!!!!," I don't ever see many players use the power weapons anyway in matchmaking anyway.

The reason you balance out classes is so you don't have a class that goes "BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM" with his burst rifle and kill everyone on the other team in a matter of seconds *cough BR cough*. Every time I see a Halo 3 game in action, everyone is using an BR because its a starting weapon. Everyone uses the same god damn gun unless they happen to find a vehicle.

Your statement for everyone having rockets is so asinine that I doubt you actually were good at TF2 at all. If the rocket launcher was included in class based game types, it would be toned down for a certain class to use and excel in destroying vehicles, while probably being crappy against players. I have also never seen a class based game where everyone plays the same class, I only see that in *pick up your gun* games like Halo.

Also to top it off, adding class based game types wouldn't hurt the Halo formula at all, its just another game type. I guess we should take out Infection and all of the other game types and just leave Slayer and Capture the Flag. Golly, Infection and Firefight weren't in there before, maybe I should only play Left 4 Dead and Gears of -blam!- if I want to use those game types! That's the solution!! Don't add anything new to Reach Bungie, lets just remake Halo 3!

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

We already hanve one... its called Infection. But yes, I would like a more in-depth player class system for customs at least, and in campaign by default.

So, wait: If we can't say that certain games suck, how come you can?

Oh, wait, if you hate the game, then you must suck at it!

I do agree that there needs to be 'something new' in the Halo reach multiplayer but fixed 'Classes' are by far not a new concept as there are many other FPS games out there using it. Why would Bungie put something old like that in a new game?

  • 11.02.2009 6:40 PM PDT

I give up on you, Wolf. Apparently, whatever we say is wrong, and what you say is right. Apparently, your oppinions overule everyone elses. You claim that you make logical statements when you don't.

You jab at other people, claiming that they never played Class Based games or they suck at it, just because they don't care about it.

Bungie would most likely fail if they even attempt at a class based game anyways.

Wow, you're slow to catch on. Its not even as if I'm suggesting to replace the Halo formula, I just think that maybe some people would want a optional class based playlist, which they already kind of have with infection.

I Really like this idea because instead of thinking of it as "classes", think of it as:

Assigning particular attributes to specific people or teams.

I guess you didn't say teams but I will. This would make room for a number of sweet gametypes. Not to mention making handicap with a spin (assuming my differentiable teams idea is used).

I would think teams would be implied, but okay...

I'm just talking about the general idea of class based gametypes anyway, Bungie'll work out the details.
