In fact, enlighten me about which Halo game is the most balanced out of the entire series (excluding ODST and Wars).
It's either Halo: Combat Evolved or Halo 3. Before you start on it, the pistol is a balanced weapon. It's difficult to get three shot kills with it unlike the rest of the games where you're most likely going to always get a four shot kill. Pretty much the same thing for Halo 3.

I'm not going to get into how terrible bloom is in Halo: Reach. That has been discussed into the ground and I know you're going to give me some completely idiotic reason why it's an amazing system. The first part was for anyone else who might be interested in my opinion towards what I think is the most balanced Halo game. Not like anyone cares anyways.

For the rest of the crap about the UE3 engine/Halo engine discussion, it would just be a carbon copy of what DusK said.


I actually dislike bloom in Halo: Reach, which is why I said Halo: Reach is too balanced because I feel it makes the game too balanced. The pistol in Halo 3 is far from powerful unless you dual-wield it. It takes 2 Halo 3 pistols to match the power of a Halo 1 pistol.

Bungie believed all the previous Halo games were unbalanced which is why in Halo: Reach they did what they did. They considered dual-wielding to be unbalanced. Now don't get me wrong, Halo 3 is my favorite Halo game but I feel it's not as balanced as Halo: Reach, which is why I like Halo 3. I prefer a game to be less balanced.

The Falcon in multiplayer is a further example of balance in Halo: Reach. You don't even get to shoot the guns on the Falcon. But in Halo 3, the original Hornets were so deadly. The machine gun kills in a couple seconds and the missiles lock on and do severe damage to vehicles.

I'll rephrase what I said about Halo: Reach being balanced. Bungie attempted to make Halo: Reach the most balanced Halo game ever.

As for what DusK said about the Unreal Engine and Halo stuff, I'll stand down on my arguments. That debate could literally go on for a much longer time. I still find the prevelance of bulky character models to be more than just a coincedence though. However, I'm not going to debate on that any further unless you try to get me to continue.

Yeah. That's right. I don't have a 50 in H3. I never got Onyx in Reach. If a game sucks too much, I won't even bother trying for such trivial "accolades". Besides, I've done way more things that take far more skill and talent than anything that can be done in a video game.

You know what's funny about this? Just the other day I almost included a bit in a post about how Heed was exhibiting "Ben level" of stupid. But I didn't. And look who shows up.

How did bloom balance the game at all? Pretty much everyone agrees that it was too random to be balanced what so ever. Any "random" aspect in a game takes away from the skill/balance of a game. Also, why did you start talking about the Halo 3 pistol? When I said I thought Halo 3 was balanced in the same way I was talking about the battle rifle being a bit more difficult to get consistent shots in. I'm not an idiot, I know how the pistol in Halo 3 works. :P

Bungie believed all the previous Halo games were unbalanced which is why in Halo: Reach they did what they did. They considered dual-wielding to be unbalanced. Now don't get me wrong, Halo 3 is my favorite Halo game but I feel it's not as balanced as Halo: Reach, which is why I like Halo 3. I prefer a game to be less balanced.None of the Halo games were well balanced. Not even the two I listed before. They're primarily for fun gameplay like you're saying. Thing is though, Reach was not any more balanced than the other games. The only thing that was better in the balance was the exclusion of dual-wielding like you mentioned.

The Falcon in multiplayer is a further example of balance in Halo: Reach. You don't even get to shoot the guns on the Falcon. But in Halo 3, the original Hornets were so deadly. The machine gun kills in a couple seconds and the missiles lock on and do severe damage to vehicles.I'm talking specifically about weapon balance in a truly competitive 4v4 setting. I'm not talking about BTB. Halo multiplayer has always been a mess when it comes to vehicles in terms of balance. No need in even discussing that...

I'll rephrase what I said about Halo: Reach being balanced. Bungie attempted to make Halo: Reach the most balanced Halo game ever.They did but sadly enough they failed. Bloom was a good idea in theory but in practice it absolutely failed.

As for what DusK said about the Unreal Engine and Halo stuff, I'll stand down on my arguments. That debate could literally go on for a much longer time. I still find the prevelance of bulky character models to be more than just a coincedence though. However, I'm not going to debate on that any further unless you try to get me to continue. What prevalence? You only listed 3 games. Unreal Tournament/Gears of War which were created by the same developer that obviously used the same assets for the two projects and Mass Effect which has about two species that have always been planned to be bulky in the first place. For every bulky character model you name I could name 5 that aren't. You have to remember these are even just three out of about twenty to fifty games. That is not prevalent in any sense of the word. Your entire argument has always been flawed.

Well, i'm guessing you would be surprised to read when I say that I disagree on Heed's view of Reach!

I'm not really following the whole "beefy character" thing. Don't know what that's about...nor do I give a fck lol

Well, it wasn't the actual topic of conversation so much as how his complete disregard for everything that completely and utterly proves him wrong reminded me of how you, despite insurmountable evidence to the contrary, hilariously believe H2 is a skill-based game.

I couldn't help but laugh at the similarities. It's like it all happened before.

I believe about a year ago was when I first asked about Halo2 Vista's population and general opinion on it. But yeah there would be tension on these forums for the months that followed . . . was great!

So you guys are saying that Bungie won't make Halo games anymore?
I'm really confused here, I know 343i is make the next Halo, but for the Halo that has been released by Bungie, what's the future for them? And what game will Bungie work on if there's no more Halo?

There hasn't been much said on the future plans of Bungie, so we will just have to wait and see what their plans are. In the meantime, if you're still a Halo guy, wait for 343 to release Halo 4.

Correct, Bungie are working on new (non-Halo) games now. Nothing worth mentioning changes with the current games.

Posted by: Ben2974
You just contradicted your own knowledge. You say 343 is making the next Halo, but say there's no more Halo because Bungie doesn't work with Halo anymore. Lolz


Pretty sure he was talking about the lack of Bungie's involvement in Halo, not the end of the game.

I really don't know how to interpret this...Is it a mistake? Or is Halo 4 getting released for Xbox720 instead of Xbox360?
