Halo: Reach is the beginning of a new age for gaming.
It proves that developers can get away with punishing their players instead of fixing their game....and yet the fanboys will still sing praises to them.

-blam!- all of you fanboys!

Server browsers = Filters that work to put people with the same perferences together.

Matchmaking = Filters that only care about connections for the most part.

You haven't even played this game in nearly a year. Your care cup is way too -blam!- full, overflowing to be exact.

Trust me, my only purpose is to make sure that Matchmaking gets ditched in favor of server browsers.

I have to carry out my crusade here, because..well 343 is a bunch of -blam!-s. And.. Bungie is the one that first created this pile of -blam!- that has been running rampant for the last 10+ years.

Honestly, I've always hated matchmaking. But it wasn't until they added the voting part that I decided to do what I do.

Because it went from a Veto, in which I could at least sometimes get to play what I want to play (simply because you can't veto twice) to never getting to play what I want, because I'm constantly out voted.

You seem like you'd fit well in Waypoint go there.

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.

So basically, you're just willing to put up with the bull-blam!- of playing stupid -blam!-, just for everyone elses benefit.

Well, if you haven't noticed. My entire fight, is to get rid of the bull-blam!-, period.

"Even when I don't like it, most of the time I will stick around...blah blah"

Why? WHY?

I may not be completely okay with it, but it isn't OH MY GAWD! NOT THIS MAP, NOT THIS GAMETYPE! IMMA KILL MYSELF!

I play to have fun with friends, bad gametypes and maps can facilitate fun in some ways. It's not just about the base game experience. There is also the interaction with the people you are playing with.

Of course when you have no friends I suppose that isn't even a thing you could understand.

I have plenty of friends.

They just don't include random strangers from Live.

As far as I'm concerned, your only purpose to me, is to provide a target to shoot at. I don't need to befriend you for you to fulfill that purpose.

I'll leave the actual interactions between friends to the real world.


Funny story, some of my friends on my list actually do have random strangers on their list. Dumbasses are so desperate for interactions between each other they actually flew a plane from new-york to arizona.....and for what? Because you play with each other on Call of Duty...really? Can't make any real life friends in New York?

OH and btw, they are no longer friends because one day they decided to get all butt hurt when we all quit out of a laggy match on them. (That's what happens when you create teams where half your team lives on the opposite side of the continent)

You don't need to meet somebody in real life to build a friendship.

Obviously lying.


If you had friends then you would play with them and not need to worry about what gets voted.

Yes you do.

Everyone online is a serial murderer who will track you down and tear your limbs off with a rusty hack saw.

Unless you meet them in real life first.

Always up for REACH customs!

Please don't let E0S hijack this thread, he's either trolling or he's got the social intelligence of a six year old, or he just doesn't care whether or not quitting ruins the games for others. Stop responding to him.

Any thoughts on what I actually posted about?

It's not our fault that he takes the spotlight with his idiocy.

When he posts it's like watching a beached whale get into a ten car pileup.

They laughed at Noah too.

If you believe that story.

You aren't claiming that the first occurrence of a natural event is about to happen and that at first it will be so terrible that we need to build a shelter to keep every species possible alive.

Not that servers and a game browser wouldn't be great for Halo 4, but it's not going to happen at this stage in Reach's life, so we're better off talking about fixes more likely to be possible.

But him thinking his idea is feasible is hilarious.

I've seen my quit ban warning displayed to other accounts playing on my XBox.


maybe so but it lets you bypass that silly 10 min ban and keep playing. Even if somehow my entire console got the 10 min quit ban I have another 360 and I could keep playing.

Any form of a quit ban is simply futile and stupid. People who are smart enough will find a way around or play another game that doesn't encourage players to quit. A good game wouldn't make players quit often but Reach isn't that great. With some of it's poor choices in maps (hemorrhage) and bad gametypes (like elite slayer) it's no wonder many quit often.

If you're playing Hemorrhage or Elite Slayer, that's because the majority of your lobby voted for it. You're being selfish when you quit because you lost a vote, plain and simple.


I really don't care if it's selfish or not. I refuse to play such terrible map and / or gametype.

I owe nothing to randoms of Halo Reach. If they don't like that I quit because of a bad map and gametype then tough, they should have gone in with a team.
