The former is a bigger problem than the latter.

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.

The whole game is a flop. There is almost nothing they did right.

I thought that the Needle Rifle was done right in relation to the sandbox.
It should be THE utility as far as Reach is concerned, especially since its design is optimal for team-play.

But it's purple and shoots pink bullets. Who would want to use that?!

Name's John. I'm a 21-year-old firefighter/EMT from lolhio who doubles as a die-hard Halo fan. I've been enjoying the franchise since 2001. My favorite iteration of Halo would have to be Halo 2 simply because I never got to experience the joy of a full-on Halo: CE LAN.


If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Oh yeah, and boot Zome.

I have been here three times last week, and last time before that was TWO YEARS AGO almost. Strangely enough YOU ARE HERE everytime I am.

Who needs the life check? Me or clueless bozo?

I had 3 Halo 3 Beta Invites, 2 Halo: Reach Beta Invites

Not a ranking system per say, but some sort of system that matches up people of similar "skill". Bungie said there is one but either that's not true or it does not work at all. Although those other problems that you listed are by far bigger.

  • 12.26.2011 12:48 PM PDT

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
where a > b = d > c

Ohai, I'm Loscocco (pronounced Loss-cocoa). I'm a college student (computer science major), 3D animator, and long-time Halo player.

Really? I'd rather have a functional, smoothly-flowing skill-shooter game than a sloppy, poorly-made mess with shiny ribbons that I can gloat about while I stroke my ego over.

did they take the H3 servers down? is Reach the only game at your disposal?

nope? so I suppose you're just being a bltch for the sake of being a bltch(just like 95% of this board's posters). but you're also a dumb, resourceless one at that.

H3 is full of idiots with horrible connections. Not the mention the fact that 90% of the ranked lobbies are full of boosters and derankers.

What type of connection do you need to play it without having that much lag? Does that type of connection even exist?

Really? Not once did I talk specifically about Reach so why don't you read posts like someone that actually has 3 brain cells before jumping to a conclusion while making a complete tard of yourself with a sticker labeled "elitist" on your forehead? I said that the last thing I would consider crucial to a game is a shiny ranking system that will allow me to do nothing aside from gloat over the little medals that the game hands me while it pats me on the back.

Second, Halo 3's servers may not be down, but there is a relatively small population on the playlists that I enjoy in that game and the matches that are found are either filled with full parties or foreign hosts. You're logic of, "GO BACK TO HALO 3. GAWD!" is absolutely ridiculous and simple-minded; just about as much as the, "DUR HUR! ADAPT!" argument. So congratulations, you made a completely one-sided and ignorant argument and, because of it, consider yourself smarter than "95% of the forum's members" that actually know what they're talking about.




but you're also a dumb


You're a contradiction. Learn to use proper english writing skills if you wish to make an accusation upon another's intelectual abilities without making a complete hypocrite of yourself. I did you a favor and underlined your mistakes; wouldn't want you to take too long to find them.

I... I actually agree.

  • 12.26.2011 10:13 PM PDT

Gameplay is more important than a ranking system, so I disagree.

That's like saying I took a dump, and the quality of the dump should be better than the smell of it.

Sigh. This again. There is nothing wrong with armour lock. It is situational. just because you cant spam nades and walk away and actually have to try to get the kill, which involves more teamwork, doesn't mean it needs to be nerfed or removed. Double melee isn't bad. If you were that close to begin with without a close range weapon too bad. you wouldn't fight someone with a gun if they were in your face. And finally who cares about ranks. Seriously? reach was supposed to be a FUN game. It's not supposed to be hyper realistic.
