Subject: Why removing bleedthrough again is stupid

2010
Bungie: 'We didn't like AR 6-shot melee, so we're removing melee bleedthrough to fix this problem!'

2011
343: 'Double melee is even dumber, we're going back to 6-shot melee.'

2012
343: '6-shot melee sucks, we're returning to sprint double beatdown.'

Why not just turn melee damage down to 75% in every playlist? It's not like this solution has been around since FIVE YEARS AGO.

I want my elephant back.
Give it to me now!
(Please?)

Me.

lol

Exactly. Bleedthrough had a chance of hope, but since everybody was so blind with their "I HATE TU", they didn't see that bleedthrough or melee damage could've been tweaked.

AR 6-shot melee wasn't an issue in H1 or H2. In H3, for any player not a 45+ AR/melee was ToD like 90% of the time. The sane solution is just turn melee damage down so that it's not as viable an option any more.

nope. bungie and 343 decided to screw around with a core game mechanic instead. great job!

Ever wonder what's up there?

Double melee isn't "dumb" from my point of view.

The community did state that the game should focus on weapons, melees and grenades, and Bungie gave us exactly that.

bleed through was one of the few things that made this game less retarded. Double sprint pummeling is just idiotic and ruins half of the skill of the game.

It doesn't focus on weapons because on some maps (countdown for example) the weapons are too weak to get down your opponents shield from just shooting before they have melee'd you twice. simple fact is, sprinting around and mashing melee isn't intelligent or thoughtful gameplay, it's mindless nonsense which only bad players use in an attempt to compensate for their lack of dexterity with the right thumbstick.

also combat triangle in H1-2-3, weapons melee grenades

'halo reach should focus on weapons, melee grenades'
>AAs

lol nope. so i guess everything about your post is just wrong.

What? You said it yourself. Reach does in fact focus around melees, weapons, grenades and AA's.

It's no wonder why the Highest K/Ds out there have DMRs and Pistols as their tools of destruction. Find a guy who melees a lot and he'll probably be around the 1.0s or below.

are you retarded?

you said yourself that people wanted reach to have importance on grenades/melee/guns like the previous halo games. if you add AAs then you're not putting importance on the other three.
