Subject: How could a game get this out of hand?

I like Halo, and everything about it.

"A hero need not speak, for when he is gone, the world shall speak for him."

I just played a game of TU 2 Flag on Paradiso. It started off sort of well but then it changed to an atrocity.

Not only did the other team have both banshees, but they had both tanks too. Everyone quit except for me and this one kid. The team mates that werent in the vehicles sat on the rocks and waited for us to spawn and if they couldnt kill us the vehicles would.

Everytime i spawned a tank shot at me. You'd think that i would spawn somewhere else OUT of dangers way. This just goes to show how bad that map's spawns really are. And instead of showing sympathy and just capping the flag and ending the game. The team kept doing it.

Like really? Its 2v8 and someone does that? I eventually just quit which i rarely do because i like to finish what i started. But honestly? Two kids got invincibles in tanks, thats like getting to fourth base with your sister.

Still love Reach though, nonetheless.

What house has a rocket pod, has legs, and has a long narrow barrel that probably shoots something powerful?

Sounds like you're describing the lower half of my body, actually.

Paradiso that's your problem.

Pretty much every game of btb Paradiso I play ends up like that. Though we score it if like half the other team quits. No need to hold on 4 or less people in BTB, you barely get any kills so what's the point.

Sounds to me like they got way up into your base and covered every spawn point. It's not difficult to spawn kill when it's an 8v2. Those guys are dicks if they didn't end the game when it was an 8v2 though. I would never hold that hard on someone unless I didn't like them at all.

Always up for REACH customs!

Sounds like you got beaten, fair and square. Maybe if your team didn't quit, the spawns wouldn't have been so terrible. The game was pretty much over as soon as everyone quit, no change in the spawns would have helped.

Still, Paradiso is a crappy map and it should have been removed once Utopie was added.

1. The tanks were not invincible, if you could not destroy them then that is your problem

2. Spawn trapping and Spawn killing are legitimate strategies as long as it does not involve hacking, sure they may not be liked but they are still strategies

3. Banshees are weak, shoot one with four sniper shots and its bye bye banshee

4. People use ctf as a way to kill others rather than capture the flag.

5. You and your buddy could have quit the match once you realized it was impossible to do anything

6. You were non Paradiso, nuff said

7. If the enemy is covering every possible spawn point how do you even think you would be able to spawn in safety?

Eh, no. Halo Reach is his problem.

Call me Stu

Organised gameplay met with randoms isn't how games should be as it is unfair.

  • 01.14.2012 10:20 AM PDT

I'm going to invade your heart like a barn swallow high on milk chocolate and grandma love.

Fairness is only possible within the limited powers of man. Elsewhere, there is only chance.

Thus I refute thee.

It happens. If the team didn't quit you would have a chance. Otherwise, you might as well have left.

It's a good map it's just when you lose map control and control over the vehicles is when it's bad. So next time don't lose map control, play with a full team and if it gets to you and one other player quit out just like your whole team did.

Yup, map control. If your team controls the map your team controls the match. If your team loses the control of the map, your team loses control of the match.

In short if the other team got control of the map and literally dominated you then they had a better team in terms of gaining and holding map control.

People still play and care about Reach?

Lol.


Obvious troll is obvious. Reach is a good game. It is not the best game and it sure as hell is not the worst. The same goes for Call of Duty and Medal of Honor.

So basically... Waypoint is pro-vanilla?

Waypoint isn't pro-anything so much as they're just anti-intelligence.

LOL they weren't even holding well
