There are 10 things I know about you. 1)You are reading my sig. 2)You are thinking that's a stupid fact. 4)You didn't notice I skipped 3. 5)You are checking it now. 6)You're smiling 7)You are still reading my sig. 8)You know all these things are true. 10)You didn't notice I skipped 9.

If I look retarded, It's because I make myself look retarded.

Lol no.

Halo reach takes way more skill than Halo 3 ever will. Why?

1. Bloom makes people time shots and crouch shoot so the bloom doesn't expand as much. Nobody ever did that in the previous Halos, they just smashed buttons.

2. AA's bring more variety to the game so you have to think more tactically and assume everyone has armor lock.

3. cR ranking system allows you to rank up through any means from AFKing in firefight to trying your heart out in MLG.

4. Arena let's you start fresh every time essentially eliminating second accounts and boosting, however you can stat whore for the first 3 days to boost up that K/D on your main.

5. Dynamic Spawns on symmetrical maps and Static Spawns on asymmetrical maps. 'nuff sayed.

I agree and disagree.

From what I've seen, mediocre h3 players excel in Reach but struggled at H3.

Go back to being a retard on the Reach forums.


EDIT: Now that I read the whole thing, I feel stupid.

If you are mediocre at H3 you can be a God at Reach.

Reach has a small learning curve and pretty much plays itself.

Every Halo takes less skill than the one that came before it.

Halo 2 takes no skill, try again.

To me, what it ultimately boils down to is how easy it is to rank up in Halo 3. It's not too difficult to get to a 40 in a day or two. In Halo 2, it was extremely hard to get to a 40 after playing for a year or two. The people that are good at Halo 3 are good, but it's not like they were insane at it. The people that were really good at Halo 2 were actually really, really good. Halo 3 was just way too easy, in my opinion. You could actually be in the 20's and be playing really good people, but the people in the 20's in Halo 3 were just god awful. I guess what I'm trying to say is that the game wasn't designed to require more skill, but it really took a lot more skill.

Also, I think Halo CE took the most skill.

Although I completely agree, your 'proof' is absurd.

What you're talking about is the ranking system. Although I don't disagree with your statement about how H2's showcased skill better, it doesn't mean the game itself required more skill. It might well have, but it's not the rank system that shows that.

Also, with H3, people got better as you moved up in skill, even if 40's were bad, they were better than 30's. That's an effective skill system.

People also got better as you moved up in Halo 2. You would basically get to a level and never stray too far from it for a long time, and you would mainly always be playing people of about the same skill level. In Halo 3 it was like, "guess I'll have to get my level up to a 45 before I can start playing some decent games."

Basically the way I see it is that Halo 2 was a lot harder to be really good at. Halo 3 was extremely easy for anyone who played Halo 2. I had many friends from Halo 2 that got Halo 3 when it came out, got 50's very easily, and then either went back to Halo 2 or pretty much just stopped playing Halo. I know all that's the ranking system, but it should require a great deal of skill to get a high level, like Halo 2 did.

The best MM players in H2 were good at H3, but since H3 was easier, there were a lot of new kids that could compete with them. A lot of MM warriors in H3 either didn't play H2 or sucked at H2.

Same thing in Reach, since Reach is easier to play there are a lot of kids that sucked at H3 but are good at Reach

Also everybody is Snipedown in Reach

How do YOU know for certain though?

For all you know, Plasma Roflz could have meant that the user "plasma" spent all his time, rolling on the floor laughing! Which still makes little sense!

So end result:

Plasma Pistols > Plasma "Roflz"

(It sounds ghey too)
