Subject: So Reach forum is this what I have to look forward to in H4?

Have you forgotten there are multiple aspects of skill? Not just point and shoot?

A bunch of ninnys who think the BR and DMR are the most skillful weapons in the game, and such should dominate anything that is not a power weapon?

Sure, maybe the BR and DMR have a bit more of a learning curve then say, an AR going full auto at close range, but does that mean it should easily beat it in that range?

While we are at learning curves I'd like to say something that may or may not blow your thick headed minds.

Concussion Rifle and a Grenade Launcher would take more skill then the DMR/BR. They take way longer to learn to use effectively then a point and spam the trigger weapon.


The current Halo community..Why can't you accept you're a product of MLG's influence? Many of you anyways.

YOU the community is the one thing that has stopped this Halo fan from addictively playing Reach.

Not a blog, its a bunch of questions with a bit of an argument behind their logic.

Perhaps you should try going to Livejournal and see what a blog is like.

i agree with the grenade part. the pistol is probably the hardest thing master when everyone els uses more powerful weapons. so if you master that and win in Rumble Pit...that is skill.

Its funny because this is mainly about Reach and the Halo community.

If I get banned, oh well I don't live here. Plenty of other places to go.

Why does the title have almost nothing to do with Halo 4?

Because I'm asking if I will have to be stuck with the thick headed majority of the Halo community by the time H4 comes out.

Fun is subjective.

Just because some of you dont like the way MLG takes there gaming, doesnt mean they dont do it for fun. Think about it. They get to travel all around the US, have huge lans with a bunch of friends, party often, and meet people they would otherwise never have met. Is it nerdy? Well yeah, but who cares, they are making good money for playing halo, the least they can ask is to make it the best settings possible.

And for some others, running around on a mongoose, or playing grifball is more your style. And theres nothing wrong with that either.

  • 05.01.2012 11:28 AM PDT

Until one side shoves it down everyone's throat and games start catering to one side.

Why can't we have both? MLG mind set people can have a few playlists. And us "scrubs" can have a playlist where weapons work how they should allowing us variety.

One could say that is how Reach is now, but no, things like the AR and repeater need buffs so they may work in their effective range BETTER then the DMR.

And the shotgun...I feel needs to be more useable, but that is debate able.

We have 1... Maybe 2 playlists in reach and it took more than a year before one of them became remotely close to what we were asking.

Meanwhile there are 16 non ranked, uncompetitive playlists.

Which side got catered to again?

Clearly they tried both ends.

Hence why AR sucks and DMR doesn't.

Nothing wrong with MLG or competitive play. Everyone should have a place to enjoy their own playstyle.

It's when parts or individuals of the community start to go beyond that mentality and state how unenjoyable a game is, state how horrible everyone else is for enjoying it, then going on and on about how the game should be changed for everyone that keeps on playing it.

I don't like grifball or riding around in mongooses all day.

But who made that other person boss when they decided I couldn't play Stockpile in Team Objective for half a year because they deemed it uncompetitive and thus unplayable for everyone else?

You know, I've made it my goal to just stay the hell away from multiplayer for Halo 4.

Campaign was what introduced and captivated me to Halo, and I hope it's what keeps me playing.

That's H3, retard. We all had our own areas. Reach is almost completely casual. And the only competitive playlists still have casual elements. MLG with no ranking system, and Arena with horrible settings and maps for example.

Most, if not all aspects of skill are present in MLG. Try again.

Ceteris Paribus, yes.

If you mean the DMR beating the AR in close range, that is.
