Its amazing that you made it to 30 with that thick skull of yours.
Perhaps you are looking at it wrong, a thick skull would provide extra protection for my already retardated mind, allowing me to survive longer.

But you don't listen to anyone no matter how many times they tell you and explain to you all the different ways that what you are saying is wrong. Lets review shall we.

Your definition of casual is incorrect.

Your data point of yourself is extremely biased and you refuse to respond to posts pointing this out.

Your data point of yourself proves that Reach is more casual because your win loss ratio is higher in Reach than in Halo 3.

And anyone that says any of these things gets your ludicrous cookie cutter response of prove me wrong with my own criteria.

Which I have already said is wrong. Limits it to anyone that plays with friends, plays team games, or plays with a mic. There are casuals who do all these things and yet your criteria cut them out for no reason.

I am prepared for your repeat of your cookie cutter response.

Read it anyway. He says that casuals only play infection, never use a mic, never use the forums, and never play in parties. Any one that does any of those things is a competitive player. And then to prove his point he uses himself and only himself even though he doesn't meet his own criteria.

When called on all of this BS his response is for people to prove him wrong with players that are limited to his list of traits of casual players.

My problems [with Reach] are basically just full parties, mlg, and people who go out of their way not to get killed.

In his defense, casuals DON'T use the forums. People who bother to use forums are greater and perhaps more dedicated than the "average" or "casual" gamer.

However, this does not mean forum-goers are competitive. No, I would consider most individuals on this forum to be hardcore fans. I would argue that all competitive players are hardcore fans, but not all hardcore fans are competitive.

Aside from that, the OP is riddled with fallacies, many of which have been discussed in great detail in this thread. Anyone with a basic understanding of statistics can see the gaping holes in his or her use of statistics/service records.

Ah, someone leaked. Now to find the leak and.... plug it.
With justice.

I use coup 5
Never Played halo 1 = Invalid opinion
Bloom isn't whats broken, its your idea of what good is and your opinion
Thats like saying uber nerf armor lock because like 20 percent of the community hates it. Oh wait..................

Actually it used to be very competitive ( especially in beta )
then 343...

85 percent bloom
nerf armor lock
nerf invis
segment playlist even more
mess with default maps
up chances of objectives

see what I'm getting at.

but staying more on topic. I believe people precieve it as less competitive simply because it isn't using the halo 3 (rather flawed ) ranking system

I still can't believe I've read 12 pages of this thread. What am I missing from this thread? Is there something I should know? Who's the Casual? Blah, blah, blah!

I dunno about you guys, but I know I'm a casual, I hardly use my mic, I search alone, I don't give a -blam!- about my W/L, K/D, etc. And yet, I'm actually pretty decent and I still go out of my way to win the game for my team. You can check my Reach/Halo 3 stats if you like, I'm far above the average player for a typical lone wolf who searches in team-based playlists.

So OP, why not use me? I'm more than perfect for your hypothesis. Wait...! Am I eligible enough?

Yeah, I wanted to see what was the commotion and look who returns. The OP who defies logic.

All I know is having to aim the sniper rifle in the air in most games has improved my aim dramatically.

Unskilled players tend to adore jet-packing and spraying.

not bad at all. my kd in halo 3 sucked cause i used to play on dial up XD (thanks bungie for making a fps that could still work on dial up )

As for halo reach i don't really care to much my kd sits at about 1.5

I still disagree with the reach is casual theory. It just runs on different game mechanics

Mechanics that make it easy to get kill without as much effort, skill, or situational awareness. In other words easier for casual players making it a more causal game.

Harass the harassers.


Posted by: RC CloneBut you don't listen to anyone no matter how many times they tell you and explain to you all the different ways that what you are saying is wrong. Lets review shall we. You have my complete undevided attention.

Your definition of casual is incorrect.You keep repeating that, please show my which one does not fit and please keep in mind that I specificly mentioned that there is no single qualifyer, that is most likely a combination of most on the list.

Your data point of yourself is extremely biased and you refuse to respond to posts pointing this out.The list for casual qualifications was compiled without using my standards for what makes a person a casual, I dont need to look at your stats, and for me you are a casual unless you are going to tell me you get paid to play Halo. That is my qualification for being a casual. I keep repeating this and you refuse to respond to it, but here it goes again, WHICH CASUAL QUALIFICATION IS WRONG AND WHY?

Your data point of yourself proves that Reach is more casual because your win loss ratio is higher in Reach than in Halo 3.That might actually be true, however when I began playing Reach, most people were still learning as apposed to Halo 3 where I was most likely playing people that had been playing for years. You must see that the time line that those games were played has an effect on gameplay and results especially on W/L.

And anyone that says any of these things gets your ludicrous cookie cutter response of prove me wrong with my own criteria. Im actually having a hard time understanding what you mean by this, could you restate please.

Which I have already said is wrong. Limits it to anyone that plays with friends, plays team games, or plays with a mic. There are casuals who do all these things and yet your criteria cut them out for no reason.I clearly state that there is no single qualification that makes a person a casual, by exstension I thought people understood there is no single disqualifying part of the list. In order to make it clear Im going to edit it so that it states that clearly.

I am prepared for your repeat of your cookie cutter response.I know you love my cookies, but you need to share with the other children. Now that you have had so much of my attention would you mind limiting your future participation to canadite submission?

RC Clone is the anti-thesis of a lurker.

You can be casual and play things besides infection.

You can be casual and use a mic.

You can be casual and play in parties.

You can be casual and post on Halo forums.

Combining your criteria doesn't make them more right. It makes them more wrong. I have already stated multiple times that everything you listed in your criteria is wrong, but you're too dense to understand me.

1. bloom / skill increased. shots must be timed well and passed appropriately. ( downside falls apart when under latency

2. Armor lock/ team mechanics increased. Allows for coridanation and anti power meapon mechanics. defends against splatter -blam-'s and helps resist team shotting ( getting cought and shat on by 6 guys

3. jet pack/ Requires awareness. must know surroundings at all times. have to look for bad guys from the sky. Must know the map well when using. does by no means make you harder to kill

"Team mechanics increased"

I find it funny how you say you don't think your list of criteria is the real traits of a casual player and yet you used that list anyway. Remove it from the OP if you don't actually think that.

Also get more than a single example. This thread is just one long joke when they bake for your position is yourself and not a list of at least 100.

I've said which parts are wrong and why multiple times already. If you can't see where then you need to learn how to read.

Its a double edged sword
its an anti as much at it is a suplament

armor lack can be used to occupy heave weaponry so the rest of the team can shoot it down. It can also be used to disrupt the other team
