Forget it man, and get with the countdown. Shake this square world and blast off for Kicksville.

Reach host ranking algorithm: (a*quit_percentage + b*isMexican + c*(1/KDR) + d*hasGuest) * 100

I stopped reading when he said bloom != spread. Bloom is just an animated way to show spread. It's meant to make it easier to track spread, and it's a great idea.

You're just too stuck on the BR where you just pressed the trigger as rapidly as possible becuase as long as you saw him first you killed the other person first.

I hope you're happy. You packed so much stupid into that post I got dumber just reading it.

Okay, I'm just going to state a few facts for you, that most every person in this hellhole of a forum seems to get wrong.
Lets break it down, shall we?

-HALO REACH IS THE FIRST GAME TO HAVE BLOOM ON PRECISION WEAPONS (other than holding the trigger on the CE pistol)
Wrong, the Halo 3 BR and Halo 3 AR had bloom. The BR's was almost unnoticeable but the max spread of the first shot was smaller than the second shot and the the second was smaller than the third. (Hence the complaints about BR spread)

-SPREAD IS NOT BLOOM
True

-RECOIL IS NOT BLOOM
True again, bloom is dynamic or increasing spread.

-BLOOM IS NOTHING MORE THAN GAME-INDUCED RANDOMNESS
True

-HALO REACH HAS MORE AIM ASSIST THAN ANY OTHER HALO GAME
Wrong, Halo 2.

-HALO REACH HAS MORE BULLET MAGNETISM THAN ANY OTHER HALO GAME
Wrong again, Halo 2.

-HALO REACH IS EASIER FOR BAD PLAYERS THAN ANY OTHER HALO GAME
Still wrong, it's easier than ever to stomp on bad players.

-HALO REACH HAS YOU MOVE SLOWER THAN ANY OTHER HALO GAME
Halo:CE had slower movement

-HALO IS LESS COMPETITIVE AND MORE RANDOM THAN ANY OTHER HALO GAME
In terms of default, yes.

-BLOOM DOES NOT TAKE SKILL. THE BEST PLAYERS SPAM. BLOOM DOESN'T WORK.
True. Just look at my service record, I spam.

-ARMOR LOCK IS NOT TACTICAL (look at my gamertag. believe me, I know what's tactical.)
Wrong, it can be used very tactically but that doesn't make it any less cheap.

-ARMOR LOCK IS NOT STRATEGIC
See above

-ARMOR LOCK IS NOTHING MORE THAN A CRUTCH FOR BAD PLAYERS WHO GOT OUTPLAYED
Only bad players fall for the whole 'get guy one shot, he Armour Locks and has his team mate save him'

-AR STARTS DO NOT PROMOTE MAP MOVEMENT
Exact opposite actually

-AR STARTS DO NOT PROMOTE WEAPON VARIETY
as above

-I WILL SPAWN TRAP/KILL YOU MORE EASILY ON AR STARTS THAN DMR STARTS
Same

-REACH MAPS ARE NOT BALANCED
True

-REACH MAPS ARE NOT WELL DESIGNED
Very true

-JETPACK RUINS MAPS BY COUNTERING MAP CONTROL BY PRESSING LB (Why the hell do you think I use it?)
True

lol @ best players spam.

If you are the best, how come your spamming doesn't get you kills? How come you don't adapt (like good players should do) and pace your shots, like the so called worse players?
You have a 1.1 k/d. The chance of me taking advice from you is 0. Listening to you would only make me worse because you have no idea what you're talking about.


At no point did I give you advice. I just said that good players at reach clearly do not spam, because it doesn't work (as you said)



I spam and so does everyone I know. I haven't seen a single good player who paces.


Bam. Right here.

He doesn't have acne. He's not tubby. I would not know anything concerning his genitalia but I'd imagine it's normal.

At least you tried.

I'll also throw in my two cents concerning bloom and spamming:

I do not spam in the traditional sense. Meaning, I don't fire the DMR at its max RoF. Depending on the situation, however, I will adjust my rate of fire accordingly.

I do pace quite often, though.

He's seen a picture of me. You have not. Viper is just not a moron who makes judgements about people's appearance over the inernet based on their agreement or disagreement with (in this case, stupid) ideas.

Major -

You could have attempted to refute his claims and perhaps spark a debate. That is, of course, assuming you provided evidence to support your claims. The evidence supporting the OP is essentially over a year worth of complaints and rants by higher-tier players.

Such players have offered suggestions on not only what to do to fix these issues in Reach but how to avoid making the same mistakes in Halo 4-6.

EDIT:
I've seen a picture of him because of something called a private group. We have a picture thread in that group where we all get to look at one another's sexy faces.

That and I ask him to send me teh noods all the time.

No, I'm not his fazha. I just do not understand why you insist on filling a negative stereotype. If you want to discuss the issues presented in the OP then you are free to do so, no one is going to stop you.

It's called a private group. Ever heard of it?

By the way, for your viewing pleasure:

I already told you I am not his fazha. Even if I was, what difference would it make? My point would still stand.

I won't go through every point because I'll mess up the quote tags but I'll just reply to these 3.

1) AR is not a precision weapon. BR bloom as such was negligible to the extent that I never even noticed it.

2) AR starts do not promote map movement. AR starts promote grabbing a DMR and then sitting back as the enemies have ARs and cannot fight at range. DMR starts promote map movement because everyone has a DMR and if you stay in one area for too long then you will be picked off. AR starts greatly limit a player from the spawn. Not good.

3) AR starts do not promote weapon variety. There are no weapons I would use in AR starts that I wouldn't use in DMR starts? Why? Because the only weapon I look for in an AR start game primarily is a versatile one; one that's more useful than the club I spawn with. Every other non-power weapon on the map is just a worse version of the AR. I won't pick it up in either scenario.
