Living Dead: 6873 players right now

Most played playlist for months.


smh



Discuss, randoms.


Yeah, it's really sad when you find that there are more people playing zombies, than playing Team Slayer, the game Halo is known for.

Did anyone consider the fact that the casual player just wants to have FUN
Derp.

Name one person who doesn't play video games for fun. GO.

Have you played with the guys who think losing in this game = death? Those guys take this game way too seriously, usually they have MLG in their GT and I've played with plenty of them. So have you, you know it and I know it.

I was just saying that the casual player likes to have fun above winning.

Playing the game is still fun to them. They just also find it fun to win.

You need to read the last line of my last post again.

Your post implies that it can't be fun to win. Winning and fun aren't competing states of mind that can't coexist. You can have fun because you won.

You act as if winning/caring about winning is somehow mutually exclusive to having fun.

Strange, I was just thinking the same thing.

whats wrong with that? Its abit of fun from competitive play.

  • 10.12.2011 2:12 PM PDT

So NOW what?
What would happen if a BR and an SMG had kids? Halo Reach Spawn Weapon of choice, of course!

Wow, people like playing a playlist that isn't dominated by the DMR - quick someone call the National News Stations.

Did anyone consider the fact that the casual player just wants to have FUN, and doesn't give a rat's ass about Bloom or the lack of a BR?

Anyone?


Yes! Good point.

While I don't play much Zombies because of the bad camping spots players tend to corner themselves into, making it UNFUN to try and enter a continuous blood bath. Rather that playlist should be about chasing and hunting, defending and scouting, its devolved into who can hide the best.

I still find it supremely annoying that DMR Starts on Small/Mid Level maps is really really boring, annoying, and much less creative than if they just simply added one or two more DMRs to a map as PICKUPS, and leave the AR starts as default for everything but BTB. DMR people really are getting just as annoying as the BR lovers.

To RC Clone - you are right in that winning is fun, but you missed my point, here it is, just for you, in capitals.

SOME PEOPLE DON'T CARE ABOUT WINNING THEY JUST ENJOY PLAYING THE GAME.

I'm sorry if this seems like I was shouting at you, but I don't know any other way to get it through to you. For many of us, and I do include myself in this, it matters far more that I enjoyed myself while playing a game and the result, if I won, was just a bonus.

Do you also enjoy, when you are aiming and shooting at someone, the game deciding "screw you" and making your well aimed shots miss, leading to your death?

he probably does, and he also relishes that AL is finally the AA for him. But seriously, I'm glad theres a playlist for people who don't care about the outcome, because they'd be in a playlist playing in my game (and probably on my team due to bungie's broken team matching system) that I'm interested in winning. So, stay strong Zombie playlist, and take the non-competitive casuals away from my team. Also, if you are casual and competitive, thats my category. :)

Hello, Community!

Hopefully if you're reading this, it's because you're interesting in kicking your campaign experience up a notch by cranking up the Legendary with all skulls activated :-) Need advice? A guide? Maybe even a friendly community to cheer you on and help guide you through the process? Then give our Mythic thread a read, and Godspeed on your Mythic journey!

Best Regards,
The Tyrant

I also prefer Living Dead and Grifball to the other playlists. I've preferred those gametypes since Halo 3. If they had been exclusive playlists in H3, I would have been more of a matchmaking buff.

I'm sorry, but someone that has a 1.10 k/d ratio with the DMR in competitive play really has no business complaining about bloom. You're just not that good with it to really have an opinion one way or the other. And, if you're that bad with bloom, just imagine how bad you are without it.

Oh wait, you have a .5 k/d ratio with the DMR in premium slayer. You should really just shut up. You have no idea what you're talking about. At all. Because its obvious you couldn't hit water with the DMR if you threw it off of a boat.

Talk about exageration, I tried to discuss this with you sensibly, but if you're gonna be like this then what's the point.
Stick to the ZB playlist that 343 will introduce once CEA comes out, but don't you dare complain on B.net.

So now DMR starts aren't 'creative'.

Dont even mention K/D in a bloom argument. i HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE bloom and my K/D craps all over yours.

Bloom is bad. AA are bad. The TU Beta is horrible unless you get ZB. any bloom, even 1% = random at 1 moment or another. and Random = Bad for competitive games aside from random nades etc. Shots on precision weapons should be consistent.

Your K/D is barely positive and you barely win over half of your games. You have no right to call anyone bad in any shape or fashion, because it's obvious that you struggle to hold the controller.

For starters not relying on a weapon that makes it possible to shoot anyone on a map at anytime. Thats DMRs on small maps. Starting with a powerful weapon like that takes away your CREATIVITY to WORK for a better weapon. Simply handing you essentially the best weapon from the beginning is lazy gaming and creates bad matchups on Small/MidRange maps. Its why MLG sucks so bad. It's catering to lazy uncreative competitions dressed up in a competitive games costume. Spawn killing is much worse in games when everyone gets a DMR over AR spawns. Eventually you run out of ammo and need to pick your shots, instead of just walking over dead DMR spawn players.

You remind me of that kid in little league that wasn't good enough to win the league yet still wanted a cool trophy. After looking at your stats, you seem to really only like DMR spamming for kills anyway so I'm not surprised.

So if I understand this correctly, the DMR is the only precision weapon with bloom and if it isn't, it is the only weapon with bloom that can throw off well aimed shots?

Since you were so kind to bring up my Premium battle DMR stats I suppose I'll go ahead and mention that the real reason they are like that is because I've barely used the DMR in the TU playlist. The pistol and needle Rifle are just better. If I don't use it I don't get kills with it. So any deaths I get to it will outnumber its kills.
