Halo CE: Garbage on a cracker

Halo 2: Annoying game equivalent to stabbing your eyes with rusty forks.

Halo 3: Same thing as above but the forks are caked with crap and glitter to give it that HD revamp.

Reach: Good concept, bad execution.
This is the absolute best post on the reach forums I have ever seen.

Calling CE "garbage" invalidates anything you say prior to that.

You two are jokes.

With high aim assist and bullet magnetism... how exactly does the better shooter always win?
Both players have the exact same amount of aim assist and bullet magnetism at all times. I don't see how it produces any other results besides making aiming easier (for both players).


Because, with aim assist and bullet magnetism, while you may be dead center on my head, I could be slightly off to the left of your head but my bullets would still hit.

My aim was worse, but I still hit. Your aim was centered, and you still hit.

That's not a showcase of who the better shooter is.

What exactly makes your opinion valid?

I think competitive players just don't like change. They've been fighting it ever since Halo CE. Pretty much any change that took the game away from Halo CE and kept it away from Halo CE were all thought to be mistakes.

That's why Halo CEA had them all excited...until they found out that the MP would be Halo Reach. And then it was tarnished forever.

Even MLG have adapted. But nope, these "true" competitive Halo fans know better.

Halo 3 is trash, Reach is ok. Your argument is invalid.

Technically, if you're aiming in a place to where magnetism would 'curve' you're shots into hitting, you're aiming just as correctly as the person who is aiming perfectly centered on the head.

It's fair, it's equal, the better player wins. Much easier? Sure, but easy and consistent > easy and inconsistent.

Yet you've listed as CE being better than sliced bread.

Others don't feel that way.

Perhaps I am looking more at the Halo Reach magnetism (it seems great than Halo 2's, is it?), as you can hit your shots with an AR without the reticle being on the opponent's head.

If it was as such in prior Halos (I honestly can't remember), that adds a degree of doubt concerning the best shooter winning. At least in my viewpoint.

Hate to burst your bubble, but many PC games trump Halo.

Halo CE isn't sliced bread. Nor is it the wheel.

I'm saying that I agree I am just saying that it is hilarious. I have barely played halo ce but I really liked halo 2 and 3. I like reach but not as a halo game. when I want the classic halo feel I play halo 3.

CE is the best game to have ever came out on an gaming console.

PC games don't count, as PC's are vastly superior. Unfair competition.

Halo 2: Auto-aim and bullet magnetism at an all time high. This being said, the better shooter always won.



Really? Did you really just say that the better shooter always won? That has got to be the stupidest thing I have ever heard. Why wouldn't the better shooter not win? If someone is better they will win more often. Wow.

Someone didn't watch the Reach video.

The inferior shooter won. The player who was shooting incorrectly (spamming at a range that isn't reliable to spam at) won.

Everything better than CE is on a PC, which can support INFINITELY more technology than any xbox ever will. It also uses different controls that allow for games to play with the complete lack of bullet magnetism.

  • 09.08.2011 3:53 PM PDT

really because in my opinion there are games on console that could beat the best of every halo game. Plus many games have the option to deactivate aim assist, plus some games without it.

I am not talking about the Reach video. Reach clearly doesn't reward the better shooter all the time. But the way you stated that comment about H2 seems like the better shooter always being rewarded was a bad thing. If I misunderstood you I apologize.

When I said "this being said" I meant "despite that".

Sorry for the confusion.
