Halo, let's face it, just sucks. Yea, maybe you might find it fun. I'm sure if you play with some buddies, or play some custom games it might be fun. But what about those times when you just wanna hop on and play some halo?

I was playing Modern Warfare 3 earlier in the week and, if you know how cod is, you can just hop on and play in a game. If you don't like that game, simply quit out and join another. There's no penalty for quitting. And sometimes when searching for a match, I hop right into an already existing match. And with MW3, I get rewarded for everything. And when im feelin like playing some team games, playing Search and Domination are just a playlist away. And I still get rewarded for very thing I do. It's awesome.

Then I pick up Halo and try it after not having played it for a while. I realized why I just don't enjoy playing it anymore. You get penalized so much. I was playing a bad game, getting stomped on (I don't really mind losing, but when you are going 4-20 then it's just boring). I was just about to quit when I realized that if I did I could get quit banned. And I wouldnt get any cR. So in order to even leave the game, I had to ride it out. It was dumb. And it was anniversary playlist, and not having played it for a while, I was getting killed by that three shot pistol. It was just dumb and didn't make sense to me that I was dying so fast.

So idk about you guys, but I really believe that if Halo 4 is to thrive, the most important aspect about it should be what is truly fun. I don't want to be banned for quitting games. That just makes me want to play it less. And the 3SK pistol may have been cool in CE, but it's plain boring in Reach. You can't up the kill time on one weapon but not the rest of the sandbox.

Feel free to argue with me. With love.

Two makes there more than speakers.

So you're saying that you don't enjoy a game because it doesn't throw shiny medals at you, congratulating you for completing the most simplistic of tasks.

For starters. Real players don't need shiny bells and whistles going off every time they are lucky enough to get a single kill.

Secondly yes a lot of weapons in Reach are weak. This is because the Reach weapon sandbox is crap.

What they should base Halo 4 gameplay off of is CE not CoD. CoD is a crappy game for people who don't want to have to exert effort on an FPS. Keep That crap in CoD, okay?

Good. Now go away.

No I'm saying I don't enjoy this game because there is so much negativity in it. I can't do this and I can't do that. With call of duty, I can do anything. I'm not saying call of duty is perfect or that halo is -blam!-. Halo is my favorite game series. But with reach it just bcomes.. Painful to play. Call of duty is easy to play, is quick, and feels rewarding. Reach tries way too hard.

You have me all wrong RC. Im not saying make the gameplay like cod. I like halo gameplay. But I hate halo matchmaking. There is a difference.

All trolling aside, I've seen people complaining that Reach kill times are too slow. If people want to get dropped without being able to put up a fight, they should play MW2. Yes, 2 not 3. MW3 is Horrid.

OP is the epitome of a CoD fanboy, he knows he's trolling but he's totally serious. "I get rewarded for everything", that's CoD's way of hypnotizing bad players into thinking they're accomplishing something.

And Clone, H4 should not be like CE, 3sk Pistol? No. H4 isn't anniversary. It'll be Halo 3.5.

Essentially. Something that doesn't make me wanna stop playing the game. Halos matchmaking sucks. Call of dutys matchmaking gets me games faster, and allows me to leave them if I don't like the game.

And the gameplay allows me to just hop on and play and be fine. In halo, if you don't have a team, the game is boring. It's dumb.

You said the game rewards you "for very thing"

I assumed this was a typo of everything and these rewards were the annoying guitar riffs that you can't go 20 seconds without hearing during a match.

Halo everything before Reach is fun, but you made a thread asking for Reach to turn into CoD. I can't see what else you would mean besides gameplay.

In short. Think before you post.

I don't give two -blam!-s about the awards n -blam!-.

Although I do enjoy the fact that you can rank up for gun and perk enhancements. I feel like I have something worth playing for, as opposed to -blam!- stupid armor that should be free.

I understand what you are saying OP. That system would be good for social playlists in Halo. Ranked matches would, of course, not have drop in/drop out.

If all the armour was free, there'd be no sense of achievement left. Except if your life revolves around useless leaderboards.

The point of Halo's matchmaking system is to discourage quitting, because quitters tend to ruin other players experiences.

I've played Call of Duty, enough to the point where I get sick of jumping into a game where my team is losing 1100 points to 7400. Let alone it is just me and one other player on my team.

A drop-in drop-out matchmaking gives a sub-par exerience to those who join matches mid-game. Let alone the idea that quitting is okay to do, and no one is punished for it.

If you want to quit in Halo, you can. If you quit, then you'll get banned eventually (if you quit too much) but it does allow you to quit all at your own will.

The point of the ban is so that it discourages and punish those who quit "just because ___" and end up ruining an experience for others.

I get you OP, and I feel the same way. I WANT to play Halo, but the overall process of finding a match and playing the game feels slow and tiresome. Unless you have a group of friends to play with.

But if you're alone, then yeah, MW3 is definitely more welcoming.

Reach being a bad Halo doesn't mean that it has to copy CoD.

It doesn't have to copy CoD. Just make the matchmaking system a little more flexible. Let people have fun and play how they want.
