Subject: Why being #6 Is GREAT.

Game mechanics will always fail. Theres never going to be a game without glitches or bugs but people fail to realize that. And save your pity, feel sorry for yourself. The only apparant reason why you play this game is virtual stats that nobody but yourself cares about. I'm in the iron 75% division. Not once has anybody cared, I doubt that anybody cares whos in the onyx either.

Halo Reach: Adapting to Randomness.


Posted by: eRage Sanctity

Why is it that hard to admit Reach was a failure as a Halo title?


this.

Also LOLing at Penguin Egg V. eRage.

Here's something fun to try, for science. Go up to any random person on the street, and exclaim to the like it's the end of days ... "OMG HALO REACH IS THE 6TH(rd) MOST PLAYED TITLE ON XBOX LIVE!"

...and register the look of non-caring they give you. Then imagine that look on my face.

Uh you could say 1 of the 1,000,000,000,000 different things that many people care about greatly, and I bet every person on the street you yell to won't give a flying f**k. Try again.

How many games really gave it any competition at the time?

Granted Bungie really catered to the wrong side of the consumer coin this go around. There were not nearly as many "good" games out then. The only real kick in the nuts is the MW@ is still beating it and has been since it came out except for what like a month or 2?

[


....Halo 3, 2 years+ into it' lifespan was on top of MW2, Reach after 6 months (if not before that) was below Modern Warefare two AFTER the MW population got split in half by BO. If that doesn't prove that Reach failed, then I don't know what does.

Thus proving my point as to how inconsequential the whole matter really is. Gracias.

OT : Transformers : War for Cybertron isn't even on the list, nor is Monday Night Combat. And you can still find a game in either, no problem. And those are what I would call dead games.

So you're saying nothing matters and no one should care about anything......

Or rather, you care too much, eh? Must be nice living in a world where your biggest worry is "OMGAHALOGAMEIS6TH"

The 343 forums suck. They're full of retarded kids and mods who got butthurt in the B.net forums for being told that they're bad.

But hey, look on the bright side. MAYBE CEA will bolster the numbers enough to get it back into 3rd.

....maybe.

Is that really what you got from my argument? That I play for stats? What are you 14? Because you clearly arent very smart.

regardless of its status as 6rd, i still love the game (evil, scary bloom and all). haters gonna hate.

Well, you see, there are TONS of Xbox live games.

How many of those games are AAA massive-budget games?

I'd say about 6.

So, tell me. Why do you play a game that you seem to detest so much? A game that is SO AWFUL compared to Halo 3 in your eyes, you play it 4 times as much?

6th is only good if you weren't No. 1 for the better part of a decade.

Even being 2nd would be acceptable but to have been behind two CoD games since release, near enough, and now to not even be in the top 5 shows exactly how far the Halo franchise has fallen.

Halo 3s netcode was awful and every game is incredibly laggy. I also think Reach MLG with no bloom>H3.

The only times Ive played since I got a new game is with IRL friends and 2 customs. Im having much more fun on Madden.

Im sorry I want to make this game better than H3, which isnt hard if 343 takes the right steps since H3 wasnt that good either.

The guy earlier talking about popularity has a point though.

A lot of FPS gamers that started with HALO have since migrated over to CoD, MW and BF titles and so forth because they're worlds easier.

Gamers these days don't want difficulty, they want ease. Why do you think these huge objective teams hold and smash squads of randoms all the time while others sit there and run through nightfall 200 times en route to commendations, or use the target locator for 30,000 kills, or play FF Arcade 24/7?

You make a point. I boosted all my campaign commendations. I played a -blam!-ton of FF Arcade, especially Fistfight. I even went for multikills in teh Grifballz.

I quit when I reached General. When I came back, I started going into Big Team and Multi Team for the easy kills. That got boring, too.

Now I'm trying Arena. I'm having a blast. I rage a lot, but the competition is fierce. At Silver-level play, the opponents are tougher than 90% of the competition from any other playlist. And I'm slowly rising towards Onyx and it's heated. Never touched Arena before, and I don't know why I didn't.

Frank O'Connor said he doesn't think the Halo series needs to be taken in a radical new direction... it just needs to go "deeper"

"Ultimately the core game mechanic and strength of the universe doesn't need to be changed, it just needs to be taken deeper. We want to make Halo games - we don't want to make Call of Duty or Ridge Racer. We want to make Halo games because we understand what's special about Halo."

6 without MW3 out yet?

Look at the bright side, when MW3 comes out, Reach will be the 7th, and we all know that Bungie likes the number 7.

  • 11.04.2011 2:17 PM PDT

Nothing is true. Everything is permitted.

I'm just going to leave this here...
