Think it through for a second 360.
You'll see I'm right.


Bloom hurts solo players more than it hurts team players.
Competitive players are team players.
Casual player usually play by themselves.

Casual players don't have the organization and communication that competitive players possess.

If bloom becomes a toss up in a 1v1.
The competitive players make it 2v1 instead.

No wait. strike that. The competitive players -blam!- about it because they can't run around by themselves anymore, even though they have all the tools necessary defeat bloom. But insist on wanting to be able to run around by themselves instead. And would prefer the game without bloom, just so they can run around by themselves instead.

Competitive players are -blam!- retarded. And it's the competitive half that has ruined this game. The entire game WAS CATERED TO THE COMPETITIVE community. And they are too stupid to realize it and refuse to take the blame for it.

Quit bans...that's a competitive thing.
Bloom, benefits the competitive community.
Armor Abilities are even more beneficial to you than they are to the competitive community.

Such as Armor Lock.
If someoen compeitive goes into armor lock, he has teammates that come to back him up before it runs out.

If someone casual goes into Armor Lock. NOBODY comes to bail him out.



[quote]So think -blam!- through.

And you should come to the realization that this game was entirely catered to the compeitive community.

It's time for you -blam!-s to man up and take responsiblity for your -blam!-hole competitive ideas.

He's not trolling and you guys should stop insulting him just because he doesn't understand something.

There was another thread where he was a little too obvious.

Nope. SouthPole isn't a person. He's the avatar of the force of tryhards everywhere. He stalks the web looking for retards to set straight. He can not be stopped by mere bans or thread locks for he shall rise anew.

Get someone to mod it? It's that, or hope 343 makes one, but I doubt that's gonna happen.

Hey, uh, if you like vs threads, then check out this little group right here, if you have the time. It's pretty fun, just hop right in.

Bottom line:

Casuals are retarded.

Competitives are retarded.

Sounds about right to me.

I just want to sit down and enjoy a game with people who actually CARE about the way they play.

Now, I'm not talking about pros or noobs, but I am talking about people that enjoy the game and don't scream like dumbasses in their mics (reason #1 of why I sold mine.)

I have no idea where these people are hiding, but I want to ENJOY playing matchmaking. Sadly, my Gold account ran out weeks ago.

In the early times of most online multiplayer, most of those who inhabited the servers/networks of the numerous gaming communities across the internet often strove to out do one another, To beat the other talented, competitive players in an attempt to climb the ranked ladder in hopes that one day that they may become the best within their preferred community. It was bliss in a way, we all had the same goal, we all knew what we ha to do to achieve this goal, it was almost perfect, something everyone could enjoy, casual or competitive. Why? because it was all fair, it was all balanced. But, there was an underlying problem that lurked in the shadows.

The current generation. Most of them aren't all bad, but a lot of them are. Most of these... well, lets call them "Derp casuals" for the lack of a better name. These Derp Casuals were a massive group of kids that thought they could all one day become game developers, they thought they could get the experience for this profession just by playing games. Retarded? in some respects, yes. after playing away thousands of hours of their lives, and doing horribly against the old competitive community, They all eventually came to the same conclusion that they could "help" the game developers in producing their new games. They took to the game developers and began to complain about how unfair, and boring the current play style is, despite the fact that they were wrong on all grounds. They began to suggest their ideas, ideas that contained the concepts of "super" powers characters could use,(armor lock, jet pack, ect.) powers that could "liven" the game up.

Over time, the populace of the "derp casuals" grew to such a level that it blotted out the competitive community almost entirely. Because of this, Games today are being dulled down to appeal to these "derp casuals." and with this came an unbalance within the community. The pleas of the derp casuals were far louder, and far more frequent than the competitive community. Thus they suffered for it in the long run. Games today have become so casualized that the competitive community had become aliened from the games that had come to know and love. Because of this, the competitive community had either dispersed, or were assimilated into the Derp Casual community, Their pleas becoming ever more silent as the Derp Casual community grew.

So now here we are, The competitive community is thinning out where only a few hundred remain. Games are still being directed towards the Derp Casuals for 1 reason: They are the majority.

Yes, an example of this series of events is, in fact halo Reach, or Default reach. if you were to see the plalyists population, you will see that the most populated playlists are Team slayer, SWAT, and living dead. The rest of reach is nearly barren.

Team slayer: has the super powers and the "fair derp casual game play mechanics"

SWAT: has the easy point, easy kill mechanic. A quick game for these Derp casuals to claim superiority over other Derp casuals, and claiming to be awesome at the game, Or "MLG PRO"

Living dead: has the over powered, one sided game type that the Derp casuals once again claim that it is "fair" because every one will get a chance to play as a human.

Anything with a TU update is the work of the Pure Casuals. They all now have a place to call their own within this game. unfortunately, for the Competitive players, we only have 2, playlists. Though for some of the more hardcore competitive players, there is truly only one playlist for them, and even that isn't perfect. For it lacks a ranking system.

That is the Derp casual mentality.


I wanted to ask you all a question to go along with this post.

Which community are you apart of?

Derp casual, or Competitive/Casual.

TL;DR: The current generation community screwed this game over, and will probably screw most of the other games over in the future.
