You're awesome Bungie, and so is Reach. But "Birthday Party" is the worst thing to ever happen to Halo. Please at least give those of us who can't stand it the ability to mute it or turn it off.
I've come to REALLY love playing firefight with one of my friends that lives close (very little latency.) And it's awesome that you guys have been looking into ways to improve it. BUT PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING HALO DO NOT ENABLE BIRTHDAY PARTY!!! I know a lot of people like it, but there's a lot of people who can't stand it.
A couple of "yays" is no big deal, but between Halo 3, ODST (my friends would always have it on because it damaged everything around the grunt that exploded) and now having to hear it ALL THE TIME in match making, I've had to listen to that god damn sound THOUSANDS OF TIMES!!
It's the sound Bungie, the sound itself. The confetti is a little silly, but constantly hearing that sound completely "takes me out of the game." There's gunfire, explosions, Spartans and aliens dying all around me, and in complete contrast to that a "YAAAYYY" sound. I can't stand playing grunt apocalypse, and it almost ruins the entire matchmaking experience for me.
Forgive me, for sounding a little extreme here, but I just really love Halo. It's the best way I have for spending time with friends all around the country. I've made several threads about how nice it would be to just have the option to mute that sound. But I feel like they went unnoticed.
Please, please, just give us to option to mute Birthday party or turn it off. I would really like to play firefight Arcade, but if birthday party is enabled on EVERY gametype, I will not be playing it.
You're awesome Bungie, I love SO MANY things about Reach, just not this. (And not having VIP or any way to race a team of more than 2 players around a map, but that's another story. . . edit: wait?! ROCKET HOG RACE! . . .YEEEESSSS!!)
