Subject: Elitist attitude of MLG players

This forum is littered with tryhards who look down upon people who play 'default' reach. They usually have a 1.1-1.5 K/D but in MLG world that is pro. These forums have become nothing but trollin' and people stat bragging for these people.

I'd say 95% of threads made are negative in some way, maybe that's a reflection of the current state of Reach but it seems like most people on here are 17 year old virgins who aspire to be professional gamers.

No one comes on these forums any more because of such people and it's the communities fault in the franchises demise.

All you tryhards are what killed Halo. Congratz

And so God called Moses to come forth but he came fifth and was therefore disqualified.

Finally, someone sees the truth. You are so right.

Nope the people who wanted Social playlists did. You wouldn't match tryhards in ranked games unless you were high in trueskill.

Nobody 'wanted' anything, I think Bungie clearly just did what they wanted to do in Reach. Don't blame the 'social' community. Reach is what you make of it, MLG tryhards are ruining it.

Aren't they a minority? How can a small group of players ruin a game?

I don't play MLG but I still look down on all your scrubs.

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

Yet another person mistakes trash talking and MLG. Sorry, such elitism would be around even if MLG was never thought of.

But at least you tried to rationalize it.

They are certainly ruining these forums. They are the same elitist losers who cared so much about a 50 in H3.

Competitive Halo is dead, no matter what the tryhards say so their stupidity humors me. I can see how many people are put off from playing this game though.

I quit playing Reach for about 6 months, I bought into peoples opinions and started believing this game sucked too. I'm sure many others did.

Let me get this straight:

You come on to the forums (which is an outlet for a minority of Halo players - competitive and casual alike) and see trash talk. You then sign into the game and get trash talked by someone which, again, is a minority.

You then proceed to judge an entire community based off of the actions of few. Then you turn around and call us, the competitive community, "stupid".

...
Now, I don't have a PhD or anything yet but does anyone else see the glaring problem in the OP's logic? Surely it does not take a genius and surely I am not the only one.

Explain how the most successful game in xbox history becomes so overlooked.

You may call these forums the 'minority' but opinions of tryhards matter to a lot of noobs(sadly). This happens in-game too.

You want a sandwich? Sure. As long as you don't mind me putting poison in it.

Yeah. I use the AR, so what? All you can do is scream and rage about me using the weapon.

I hope you're not on about Halo: Reach but Halo as a whole.

Your theory of why Halo lost its throne on the XBL leaderboards is because of trash talkers? My, my, the problems in your logic are plenty, child.

I'll play along a bit further, though. Call of Duty is more popular now for reasons that aren't relevant to this thread and anyone who has played more than five games of CoD knows that there is no shortage of (patriots) trash talkers on that game, either.

I am sorry, but you are attributing problems to the wrong things. Trash talk will always exist but you can minimize it by setting your chat settings to team and party only, which all but eliminates the trash talk in the game.

As for the forums, well, ignore it. I know it's not the ideal solution but elitists are going to be running around and hell, I'm guilty of being one. Just don't let it get to you.

A lot of people bought Halo Reach - FACT. Problems which did arise(armor locking, bloom etc) were talked about by the masses, with many elitists(e.g the MLG kids nowadays) discarding the game completely before giving it a chance.

You underestimate the power of 'word of mouth'. People start talking and opinions are made. A large part of Halos previous community were in fact competitive players who now look upon reach and Halo as a whole unfavorably.

Some trash talkers remain... and they occupy the MLG playlists as well as these forums.

Totally why Call of Duty has the highest population on XbL.

this cannot be farther from the truth.

Halo has always been competitive. Look at halo 2 and 3, tryhards are what kept halo 3 at the top for so long.

Now look at reach, its not competitive and as a result all the GOOD players who enjoyed the competition and the "tryhard" environment left, completely annihilating the population.

(bungie said they would listen to the community for reach)

You CASUALS ruined halo, YOU made bungie put in Bloom, YOU made them put jetpack, YOU wanted a better forge canvas thus limiting the maps.

YOU ruined reach OP.
im done now.

And you are STILL judging an entire community based on the actions of few.

Look, I am sorry you had to experience being trash talked. I know it's not right but you have to deal with it or find another, more strict gaming forum. I suggest the Waypoint forums. If you can get them to work, that is.

You are wrong and your theories have no validity. You're just upset. I get that. But trash talking is not the reason hundreds of thousands of people stopped playing Halo and went to CoD.

I mean, has it ever occurred to you that perhaps they play Call of Duty because they, I don't know, find it more enjoyable? Even that game has heavy trash talking so that effectively disproves your theory.

I also expected you to ignore my reply. You only want people to agree with you and then use the hate you'd get in this thread as "evidence" to prove your point.

Sorry, it doesn't work like that and you are still as wrong as it gets.
