Subject: The Death Of Halo

I have recently begun to play halo reach. I have played my fair share of halo games online I might add.
These past 4 years I have played halo online on and off. In fact my roots are with halo 2 where BXRRX YY RRX YY RRX Meant something. Now-a-days if you have the ability to hold a god damn controller you can be good at FPS'. It is really sad. I was playing reach for like 2 hours straight and hopped on halo 3. Very few people can hold their own or beat me legit on that game considering Iv'e been playing it since it came out. Reach on the other hand NOOBS can easily acquire kills.
In halo 3 there was a system where you losed your rank if you lost a match. In reach you do not lose rank, in fact you gain rank if you lose. Basically you can become the best rank if you sit in front of your TV for hours on end. Sounds like another game we know of eh? (COD). It seems like bungie dumbed it down and made kills easy to get with every weapon. It's just chaos and ruins it for us. A while back I saw a player with the name "ReachIsForBKs" I couldn't agree more. For those with not very much halo slang knowledge, "BK" means "Bad-kid". Stupid I know but the truth nonetheless.It is truly a sad day for us legit old-school players. My brother, my friend dominic, my old online friend reyess, and my old friend jack no longer play halo online, especially on reach...You know why? Because reach killed it. FACT. We ALL started on Halo 2. We all started at the beginning. It is truly a sad day for us. Now everyone has given up halo and has started playing Black Ops. I do not know why. That game is PURELY Camping. Nuff said. I am faced with 3 Options: 1. Adapt and try to become better than everyone at a nooby game (Reach). 2. Play Halo 3 till it dies and die with it (not litteraly). Or 3 just quit halo. I really do not want to quit. I love halo. I just wish it took more skill nowadays. We worked hard to become what we are.

only reason i still play halo 3 is cuz of BTB, i always party up w/ my friends (7 ppl besides me) and its really fun, CoD and reach require no skill almost...

No skill at all serious. Reach= anyone can be good. COD = camp

Oh I get what you're saying here. You have been playing this game for a long time and have developed skill at it and become very good. That makes sense.

Oh I understand what you're saying: your new to a game and you find it reasonably easy for you to get some kills. You have not yet played it long enough to become highly skilled at it though because your new and that's to be expected. I don't see the problem here, can someone please fill me in?

If you are trying to be funny you fail. I had my gf who has barely ever played a halo game play reach online. She got 10 kills flat. That is ridiculous. Unless you have played halo 2 since the beginning then GTFO.

  • 05.14.2011 1:03 AM PDT

So what if my reach record is shi.tty. At least I got a 50 LEGIT on halo 3. Wheres your's you noob?. Don't hate because you are good at a game for noobs.

I have played since CE....

....back in the lan party days.... =)

There is a defiant skill gap; loosing and going negative does not mean that everyone is bad and just getting lucky.. I am sure you're a great gamer and that if you put in effort into reach you could do well at the style of play you want to succeed in. Reach is different than other halo titles; that does not make it bad. It does not make you bad. You just are inexperienced at Reach and you would become better at it with more time spent on the game

This is all common sense really.

No number or statistic makes you better than everyone else nor does it make your opinion more extraordinary than everyone's. Why does it matter what your K/D is or what % of games you have won?

Shouldn't you just play the game for fun?

If you want to take a break from Reach, by all means do so. When you come back for your next go around just play for fun and nothing else. If winning is important to your having fun then play with a group and learn how to get better from them.

You sir have my respect. You are kind and smart. I really hope you are right. Because it is really disheartening seeing people who have only played reach be "good"

Thanks, I hope you have fun with whatever you decide - even if this is your last stop by the Halo universe.

It is really hard to adapt when new players are so "good". Do you still play reach live? If so, could you PM me your GT so we could talk about it, discuss tactics, PLay together?

LOL! bring on the heat noob. I am not scared of your fake bullsh.it. I challenged you and you declined. It's okay though. Wouldn't be much of a challenge versing someone who can't spell.
