They see me rollin', they hatin'.

For those of you who think that every armor ability (most notably armor lock) is somehow overpowered, underpowered,unneeded or just plain -blam!-, I have something to say: The ability's, weapons, and vehicles of the Halo universe don't need to be ''balanced.''(although having balanced gameplay does make for enjoyable multiplayer) Here's an example: Let's say you are in a real war, engaged in a frenzied firefight with real people. Your side has the biggest, baddest guns you would ever hope to see, you're equipped with some kind of bullet proof shielding and a huge-rocket-bomb-morter-launcher-thingy, and the opposing side has pea-shooters and slingshots. Your enemy's yell, ''You have better guns and armor than us, this fight isn't balanced! give us the same guns as you have and don't use the overpowered shielding, so it will be fair!'' Would you give them what they ask for? No. You would calmly blow them to bits.

Ladies and gentlemen, would the UNSC stop using armor lock just because it wasn't ''fair'' to the covenant? No.

It doesn't always have to be fair! Life isn't always fair.
The spartans can do whatever they-blam!-want! Stop complaining about balancing! Because real wars aren't balanced. Therefore, you do not need to keep pestering us by continually saying that ''armor lock is overpowered.''

I have spoken.

chances are I don't care who you are or what you say.

I don't care about what is realistic or what the UNSC would do, I want a fun and competitive game.

This didn't make any sense. I expected as much from a guy named QuizzicalPoem.

Why is it that none of the Reach Forum regulars complain about this stuff and all the people who we've never seen, or hardly seen, come on here and complain.

Never mind ... Best not to tell me the answer.

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.

Wait, people play games because they're supposed to emulate real life now?

No that's not what I mean. My point is that if something is downgraded for balancing, it takes all the realness out of it.
I just want games to be believable, that's all.

If you want a fairly believable shooter, play BF3 ;) You die from getting shot/blown to bits incredibly quickly, often without knowing where on earth the guy shot you from.

I guess that made it sound like it was a bad game, but seriously...

buy... BF3...now...for the good of your health...in the name of all that is holy...buy...BF3...NOW...It is just too epic to miss! :D

i think it would be better to say. BF3 is the most balanced fps there it. with counters to every single weapon/vehicle/equipment in the game. no weapon is overpowered. BF3 = best game ever made

Nope. SouthPole isn't a person. He's the avatar of the force of tryhards everywhere. He stalks the web looking for retards to set straight. He can not be stopped by mere bans or thread locks for he shall rise anew.

Not about being a fanboy of one thing or another. Just don't like tossing around "Best game ever" labels so frivolously.

  • 11.18.2011 3:34 PM PDT

Haha "stop complaining about balancing."

This is why Reach failed. Because of people like you who blindly accept everything that Bungie or 343i or whoever else puts in the game.

Minority>Majority when the majority can't even understand why a balanced game is good for everyone.
