Posted by: burritosenior... What? You're saying that replacing the one shot with a 3 shot weapon that accomplishes the exact same thing isn't changing the game. But you're also saying that taking away the three shot weapon and putting back in a one shot weapon is completely changing the game. You are completely contradicting yourself, and even if this did constitute 'such a huge change,' it's still asinine to suggest that this means Halo: Reach is 'not Halo.'
Okay,Halo went from pistol, to adding 3 burst rifle, to slightly adjusting the 3 burst rifle, to removing the BR all together and adding a single shot rifle WITH BLOOM. That progression makes no sense to me. Maybe if the single shot rifle didn't have bloom, I might accept it, but they fundamentally changed the game by changing 2 aspects of the rifle, it didn't add to it at all. It basically took long range kills with a rifle out of the game since any idiot can just walk behind something before dying because they know they have time to do so since you have to pace your shots in order to kill someone long range.
Posted by: burritoseniorWhere are you making these numbers up from? From your own service record? Because you have 822 kills with the sniper rifle and only 356 headshots. That is a 43%. So actually by your logic, it has gotten even HARDER to get headshots!

Look at anyone who uses the sniper in any game. Yes, sometimes it goes under 50%, but if you average everyone who uses the sniper in a game, it's way over 50%. I think I've checked dozens upon dozens of games, and this is the case almost 100% of the time. If not, I bet overall it's true.
As for myself. I hate the sniper, suck at it, and almost never use it, and I STILL have 43%... So what does that tell you about someone who loves it, is good at it, and uses it all the time?

You say that, then go right on to say 'but having any of these 'tweaks' means it isn't the same game.' Equipment is not a 'little tweak.' And if you're counting it as one, then you are required by your own logic to count Armor Abilities as one.
I never said 'having any of these tweaks...' But let me explain yet again... The progression of any game involves minor tweaks and maybe a fundamental change... What Reach did was change TWO fundamentals of the game while also tweaking almost every other aspect of the game. I can understand a lot of minor tweaking or maybe less tweaking and a fundamental change, or whatever combination, but damn... Everything?
I am not. I am making the connections that YOUR logic is saying, and if you cannot understand the concept of logic then you should not be here.
Well you pretty much are. You're like propaganda in media. I say something, then you try to twist my words while also adding, "By your logic..." So you're subliminally trying to gain supporters by acting like you know my logic by using YOUR logic.
You say that Halo 2 got rid of health and that's OK because it's just a tweak. Then you claim that adding it back is unacceptable and means the game that does so is 'Not Halo.' This is completely contradictory and asinine at best. And ODST is most certain NOT irrelevant, and don't you dare try to argue that further. THAT is a desperate attempt to count off a perfectly valid point with absolutely no logical backing behind it.
Again, minor tweaks are okay, but adding health was one of MANY minor tweaks along with 2 FUNDAMENTAL changes.
And instead of just saying ODST is relavent, why don't you give a reason? I have yet to see a "valid point" with "logical backing behind it" concerning this from you. I gave you mine... I'm talking multiplayer. Campaign/AI strategy is nothing compared to p2p multiplayer tactics.
Bloom is a Halo: Reach mechanic. One that hardly means Halo: Reach is 'not Halo.' Idiotic to say otherwise, to be frank.
This response is idiotic, to be frank. I'm not even quite sure what you're point is... Are you saying the last and only Halo to have bloom didn't completely change the dynamics of multiplayer of previous Halos? (See how I'm asking a question and not acting like I understand "your logic" without waiting for a reply?)
Hey guess what mate? Progression of the game took it to the DMR and kept the pistol. So essentially, you're wrong.
Yes, they KEPT the pistol, then ADDED the BR, then TWEAKED the BR, but then they REMOVED the BR and REMOVED the static reticle REPLACING it with a DMR, not adding it. They removed 2 things that were damn near fundamental to Halo. And in most games, you don't get the pistol, you get the assualt rifle. So they pretty much removed the pistol as well.
