There is just something magical about leaning your head back, letting your eyes roll into the back of your head, and taking a piss while floating in the swimming pool.
I stopped playing Halo Reach several months ago because the Halo experience was just not fun anymore. There are so many people that go into a game and betray you, quit out of the game, and just don't play the type of game that has been selected (i.e. it is a capture the flag game and dumbass' are playing slayer instead).
So, I've been enjoying Gears 3, some Skyrim, and AC Revelations. Today I decided to play some Reach again and see if it had gotten better.
I can tell you that not only did I have a miserable time, but what I have mentioned is even worse. I did two anniversary BTB games, and by the end of the game 4-5 people had been booted for betrayals, and another 5-7 had just quit out. At the end of the game there was 4-5 of us left. LEFT!
I did a Living Dead game and the second the game started two people quit out of the game just like that. The next thing I know I was killed twice in a row by my own team mate. WHAT THE -blam!-!
After those three games I played, I vowed right there that I'm done with Halo Reach for good.
So what is the problem with this game and who is to blame? The -blam!-s or Bungie?
I completely blame Bungie for not controlling the -blam!-s, and not penalizing the -blam!-s enough for being -blam!-s.
No matter what you do you are going to run into -blam!-s, so part of Bungie's job is to not allow them to -blam!- piss off players like myself from getting so angry that I hate their game, and that I don't want to play it anymore.
Take Gears of War 3 for example. If you quit out of a game you get a huge points penalty. That right there is a very large deterient from being a quitting -blam!-. Another huge problem with Halo Reach is when people simply don't play. What does Gears 3 do about that? YOU GET BOOTED FROM THE GAME BY THE AI! -blam!- ya man kick those -blam!-es out. Next thing you know an AI player pops in and plays until a real player can join the game.
Now that's -blam!- awesome especially Epic makes it harder for the -blam!-s to ruin the game you are in.
Bottom line -blam!-s will be -blam!-s if you let them be. I feel Bungie has allowed the -blam!-s to rub themselves all over those like myself who want to play and have fun.
Your day is over Bungie thank God. Not only do I think your formula has become stale (not as stale as Call of Duty but damn close), but you have allowed the -blam!-s to make me hate your -blam!- game.
I just hope 343 will learn from Bungie's mistakes and not allow the -blam!-s to reign supreme.
THE END.
