There were some good key points in this video I think you should look at. And inb4 mlg sucks and doesn't matter it really does matter in a way. I have much like the rest of you have been playing halo since the start. Through the changes of each game to where we are now. These last few years have been a bit tough on us as a community. A lot of people have moved on or quit playing altogether.

As we know Halo did get removed from the mlg circuit as expected even with the new settings. The populations have dwindled and our community is scattered because of choices made. I don't know about you but even as a casual/competetive player I notice things aren't the way they used to be.

I was in Snipedowns stream the other day and he made some specific comments. He stated simply " Reach is a terrible game and he wished he had never played it". I mean as sad as it is these people are the best of the best in the entire game. I walked into an EB games one day. I was chatting with the employee there and he also seemed disapointed with where Halo had gone. A random casual player disasapointed. Now this isn't a casual/competetive theme. Players from both sides of the coin are at a loss of what they used to enjoy. And no I'm not saying halo 2 or 3 is the end all be all of Halo multiplayer, but we have to do something before it's too late. I have been around for a while and I have never seen the community like this. I really hope Halo 4 is different or I will be done.

Feel free to add your opinions.

I did adapt like the rest of the community that didn't quit playing. I'm just as sure as you don't want to see Halo 4 be the last HAlo.

For one I hope Halo 4 does great things for the series. The way I see it as soon as Reach came out all the haters also came out and destroyed it.

Most likely because they are trolls or afraid it would better cod. Then a vast majority were swayed by trolls of all things and ruined Halo. The community as a whole failed and ruined themselves.

I like Reach its a great game, but I do play many other types of game so I don't let it bother me to much, and while its still got players I will lplay.;)

Can't wait for Halo4!

Might as well play Quake Live if you want competetive gameplay.

Alt.. So the way I see it competetive and casuals have to come together. Elitist tryhards messed it up for themselves as well.. A split rankign system like 1-50 except the last rank not requiring you have a 50.

Halo 4 won't be different and nobody cares what you do.

It's a video game. WTF is up with all this goddamn drama?

Where is the drama? Lack of maturity much. If you don't like what I have to say don't comment. It's a simple concept.

as sad as it is
we have to do something before it's too late
I have never seen the community like this
Firstly, there's nothing to be sad about. Sad is a feeling reserved for things that actually matter.

Secondly, an attempt to rally people is idiotic. It's all in the hands of the developers.

Thirdly, who cares how the community is? Seriously.

From what I've seen so far, 343i is trying to make Halo more like CoD so new players can adapt to it. They are focusing on getting new players, not filling Halo's niche as a game that can be very competitive for hardcore gamers and fun / accessible for newbies.

Also, that interview was taken before the last MLG event: Columbus. Halo was on the circuit there and I think it did alright, but it still lost money.

  • 05.18.2012 2:52 PM PDT

Anyways for anyone else that wants to give an opinion feel free.

  • 05.18.2012 2:53 PM PDT

Never saw the point in 1-50. in team slayer you don't even have to move or get a kill and your rank 1-50 goes up if your team wins. Play well and go+ kills in loads of games and not win as much and your 1-50 stays where it is.

Why people want it in H4 is beyond me, H3 is still full of derankers and people offering to get you a 50 you will loose as soon as you use it is insane, if that happens in H4 I will be worried. I for one am glad they kept it out of Reach.

Halo got dropped I believe..As for getting new players? Why would they do that? Reach was created for that purpose and see how bad it failed.

They didn't you can still boost in Halo Reach Arena using a de-ranker. I guess their system really worked though huh. 1-50 can work if it is adjusted. To only take into account the previous 25 games. This way de-rankers can't be used as effectviely and there is no rank cap.

thread is pointless.

I agree. But sorry to say Halo 4 is done, everything they say they are releasing is the complete opposite of what needed to happen. It is sad because a huge part of gaming history is being destroyed and there is nothing we can do...

It might have gotten dropped recently, but that video is from before an MLG event with halo on the circuit.

And yes, I know 343 shouldn't be recruiting more players from CoD, but that's what it looks like they'er doing.

I really thing maps were a big part of the turn off to most gamers.

The maps on Reach are very redundant and on the big side of things. There really are not a lot of small or midsized maps making gameplay run a bit slower.

That said I still love Reach.

He makes good points, but Bungie has put Halo in their past and MLG should do the same.

You clearly don't understand what subjectivity or emotions mean.

If Halo 4 is pants I'll be done with Halo as well.
