Subject: Conspiracy

Welcome to the internet. Joy dies here.

Anybody else starting to see a trend?
343 started a big flame war over the vote instead of just adding a playlist and letting the population numbers decide.

Introduced and then removed bleedthrough, starting flame wars aplenty.

Ignoring Arena

Putting multiple consecutive updates into novelty playlists (LD/Grifball)

Ignoring biased moderator situation

Integrating objectives into every Anniversary playlist, despite Team Objective having a terrible population.

Repeatedly neglecting to adjust any movement traits.

BS Angel.

I think 343 is trying to chase away the competitive players. I mean, it sounds crazy, but it's really starting to feel like it. I don't even want to play MM anymore because everything is in chaos.

Anybody else getting the sensation that 343 is being run by a bunch of idiots that came here, said stupid -blam!-, and got called retarded? Because it really feels like they're raging and spiteful. It's ruining my Halo experience worse than any amount of vanilla full team AL derping ever could.
Guess maybe I should look into that Battlefield 3. I hear it's decent.

I thought it was painfully obvious with garbage Living Dead and Grifball updates every month. Squad Slayer gets more people than Grifball 90% of the time, only exception is challenges like multikills and crap, yet it's getting removed.


What the hell was the point of this? Pretty sure Squad is Team Armor Locks TU counterpart.

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.

I do not even know anymore.

nothing 343 does will bother me anymore i stopped caring/playing.

I'm not mad. I'm sad. They're sucking the fun out of my video game. I don't really care if they make changes. It's the hate they're instigating from both sides.

Walk by faith. Dude. Not by sight.

It is likely 343 has abandoned the competitives. It explains why Reach is so appealing to casual players like myself (heavy MS/343 influence in development, silence by Bungie developers). I'm sure 343 thinks there is way more money appealing to the casuals, and they may be correct in the short run. In the long run, I believe it will end Halo.

This. Halo was amazingly successful as a competitive game. They make it casual trying to get more players to play, but the people wanting casual gameplay already have COD. Now the only people who like Reach are the retarded and/or bad Halo players. The competitive players (both bad and good) got screwed over entirely.

As a bad player, I can still enjoy a Halo that caters to competitives. The stats meant a lot more in Halo 3.

I know. Almost everyone enjoyed Halo when it was a competitive game.

Too many derankers for it to matter anyway.

I think Halo 3 is a lost cause. The change back to a competitive game needs to occur with Halo 4, when it's released.

I'm very upset with the changes because it's going to bring back the thing that i hated the most. double -blam!- melee.

-blam!- 343

Yeah. I guess we should have known better once they introduced BS Angel. They seem to be operating under the impression that some twit that gets paid to talk about video games will titillate all the little nerd boys regardless of how inane and frustratingly long-winded she is, just because she both expresses an interest in Halo and has breasts.

They're not part of the community like Bungie is/was. They're a corporation extracting profits from their cornered demographic. Their 'herd' as I would imagine they see it.

If anybody at 343 actually played Halo beyond half a campaign, things would be different.

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

...Maybe 343 will care for casuals, while Bungie cares for competitives?

  • 03.02.2012 3:12 PM PDT

I sometimes think they want all the good players to leave to.
Brain dead retards give just as much money if not more and to top it off they have no opinions.

Hope can ruin everything because it can be taken away, like in this situation. I had hope before, but now I'm beginning to question them.

Difference between DICE and 343i is that the changes DICE makes are all warranted by the community and are due to obvious problems. If the Heat seeker missiles seem useless due to flares, they buff their reload time. If the thermal scope is too easily abused, they nerf the line of sight for it. If the PC community wants horns, they give us horns.
/All changes that have/are going to have occurred.

Do da la la!

I think reach's gameplay is fine, this big issue is the matching system. When i play customs with my more competitive friends and experienced forgers, it's a blast and i rarely have anything to complain about.

However as soon as i go over to matchmaking, the people i get pitted against are embarrassing. It's not that people are unfamiliar with the game but rather just plain stupid or completely ignore the fact that it's a team game.

some kind of skillsearch system would solve most of reach's problems.

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.

You're entirely right. I'm in on it. The casuals are in on it. It's all a plot, you see. Everybody's out to get you.

God damn is this ever trivial.

Knew it. I'll bet the other person that's here in your name is actually me too. Well, that's what happens when your parents name you Truman I guess...

Goat was famous. Irie was infamous. Gh0st was FaMaS.

Typical Waypoint post.

Back to starcraft.

Watch some streams on Twitch.tv. It's actually pretty competitive right now once you get past 45.

You don't see any derankers.
