Since Bazza is a derp, I guess it's up to me to clear this -blam!- up.

1) Bloom and bullet magnetism makes it mathematically advantageous to spam at medium range. Despite bloom's supposed accuracy degrading effect, the bullet magnetism still makes spamming more advantageous than pacing.

2) The spawns on several symmetrical maps have spawns on the opposing team's side. This makes very little sense from any standpoint, casual or competitive. Would you like it if an entire team just spawned on your side of the map while you're running a flag?

3) The Arena system provides little incentive to play. The 1-50, despite it's flaws, provided instant gratification, which made playing fun. Playing a required amount of games to get to a rank that would disappear in about 3 months killed a lot of the drive to play.

I'll add more facts when my brain starts working.

Oh yeah, BTB is for steers and -blam!-s.

The Arena isn't fun to play because of the bad map selection and the jetpack. It also still isn't no bloom. That's why the good players aren't playing it any more at least. I don't know about the rest of the population. Maybe they stopped playing because it doesn't affect their overall rank? Who knows.

The casual population demands instant gratification, and Arena doesn't give that to them. So we're left with a much smaller population.

Very few people even play Arena anymore. It's impossible to get a matchup in if you're playing Team Arena.

There's nothing negative in the OP. If you want to think of Reach as a terrible game, then go ahead.

Nope, true.


Go find an official source that rates games that says that, then I will believe you.

Newest fact

Ghost cared too much yesterday and the day before and had an aneurysm. Again.

Your presence here is quite unneeded. Begone you!!!

Only thing I can possibly agree on is that the Arena doesn't have the incentive that people want. Granted the idea may have worked on paper, the design needs drastic improvement including the right incentive to make people want to play it.
