Subject: Halo Reach should be more Competitive

Halo: CE and Halo 2 were wonderful games. They were easily the best games of the Halo series. They were also pretty competitive. Is this a coincidence? No.

Halo: CE is arguably THE best game of the series, and the most competitive. People who have played all three Halo games since the beginning will agree to this. Halo 2 was dumbed down, and Halo 3 was even more dumbed down. Halo 3 should stay the casual player's game, and Reach should be the competitive gamer's game. A lot of people will be pleased with this. Who agrees? And what are your thoughts.

More competetive?

Bud, yesterday I heard a child pleasuring himself into the mic.
I- I don't know what to make of that.

Halo 3 is one of the biggest games in the MLG. I think it's plenty competitive. The ranked playlists at least.

Considering 35% of halo 3 MM players just play Social Slayer, I hardly think making Reach more competitive will help the series.

PS, Halo CE was awesome for it's story, and campaign, not because it was "competitive"

It isn't our shiznit anymore.

If Bungie is willing to accept the decreased profits from this decision, then go ahead, make the game more competitive!

I'm all for more competitive gameplay in Reach.

Can you believe it?

I've been playing Halo since Halo: CE and think the game would be crap if it was more competitive.

Last time i checked Halo ce didn't get the same multiplayer examination that Halo 3 received. How can you possibly know how competitive CE would have been over live?

Also the last time i checked MLG, the most competitive playlist around, has one of the lowest populations.

This thread is epic...

Don't try and speak for everyone else. I've been playing since halo CE and I've loved each game so far. Halo is a game that's fun to be competitive in, but it's definitely more fun to just play with casually with friends.
