I don't need to read 2000 lines of text to know that Reach is noob friendly.
The findings suggest the otherwise and represent the only hard numbers ever put forth to my knowledge on the subject.

You don't have enough knowledge on the subject to be taken seriously. You cannot compare 2 games when you barely played one of them. Opinion invalid

OP please link your Halo 3 stats or you have no credibility
Those are my only stats from Halo 3 stats, as stated in the thread. Other then those and the single game I played to get the nameplate for Halo 3 on this account I did not play very much Halo 3.
How can you state that Reach isn't less casual than Halo 3 when you have only played 1 game of it?
SurficialZues43 is the free xbox live account I was able to open up when I bought the xbox. It is still on the xbox and I could answer a message from that account to verify, assuming you dont need an xbox gold membership to answer text msgs.

If Reach was the most casual freindly, than that would have shown up within a hundred games. I have provided stats that back my opinion, something that "competitive" players have never done. The only provided as proof that Reach is super casual is opinion, lets see you do better.

I have never heard that before today, as compared to the daily retelling of Reach's casual, noob status.

Reach is the easiest (most casual friendly, so to speak) Halo.

My service records give enough proof. I'm legit trash in Halo 3, but I can stand my ground in Reach.
After a look at your stats, you are disqualified for several reasons, seemless transition from Halo 3 to Reach, ranked playlist participation in both games and with a little Q and A, I would bet there are more disqualifyers, but those by themselves disallow your entry as a canidate.

Those qualifications were not set by me, but were a result of a leangthy discussion with many "competitive" players. I cannot help if they would disqualify most people, they are your rules for being a casual. Perhaps you would like to tell me which one is unfair or seems out of place.

You have no idea what you are on about. Providing stats means nothing when you are not experienced with the topic you are researching. You aren't even using stats of a large amount of players so again you are invalidated. It is blatantly obvious that Reach is more random, therefore giving lesser skilled players a.chance at outclassing better players.

Always up for REACH customs!

Wouldn't Halo CE be the most "casual" since there's no formal matchmaking system, ranking system, saved stats, or even a way to tell one player from another?

When will anyone learn?

It's the PEOPLE who are casual and competitive. The game itself stays neutral.

Posted by: PendulateYou have no idea what you are on about.That is a very persuasive argument as to my ignorance but beside telling me Im ignorant, why dont you tell me what portion of the study is false or not supported by facts. Providing stats means nothing when you are not experienced with the topic you are researching. The stats provided are within the parameters set by the study, the study was not compiled by my opinion, rather several "competitive" players. You aren't even using stats of a large amount of players so again you are invalidated.I cannot verify that someone meets the casual qualifications (compiled by competitive player consensus)and not a single person can provide me with stats that meet the criteria. It is blatantly obvious that Reach is more random, therefore giving lesser skilled players a.chance at outclassing better players.Provide a single shred of proof that supports what you are saying and lets see if you can come close to the type of standards for data collection I put into this. Good luck =)

Perhaps, but it contains the base mechanics considered most competitive by MLG and most competitive players today.

It's true. Calling a game competitive or casual is like calling a murder weapon the murderer itself.

Most casual? I am not so sure.
I am not sold on this either but for the purpose of this study I only took what appears to be general consensus amoung current vocal forum frequenters that qualify as "competitive".

I was wondering if you played CE and 2 prior to Halo 3?

Well said, this is my core belief as it concerns what makes something competitive.

If a stick was placed in the middle of a circle and two players were instructed to retrieve it first at all cost, this would be a competitive competition.

I still suck at Halo 3.


Reach is a piss easy game, hence "casual"

Precisely, although that last part is somewhat redundant; If it's not competitive, it's not really competition. But nevertheless, what you say is true.
