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!
Imagine if you went to Redbox, and you tried to rent a movie from it. Hoping the movie wasn't already sold out at that particular kiosk.
When you got home and popped it in the DVD drive, it popped up a message saying:
You can only watch this between the hours of 5pm to 9pm, you must watch it with closed captioning, You must watch it from beginning to end, because the DVD will only play once and will then destroy itself upon ejecting from your DVD player. In some rare cases DVD's have been known to destroy themselves while still in the player. We are not responsible for any damages incurred while attempting to watch this DVD.
This would be equivalent to what Matchmaking is under slightly different contexts. It's a draconian peice of -blam!- spawn of a -blam!- retard. That should have aborted.
Instead you let it grow up... and now it has taken over many other games I enjoy.(WH40K - DoW, suffers from matchmaking) Where I no longer get a list of rooms to choose from. I'm instead forced to rely on some mysterious behind the scenes math algorithm, with very little transparency... or even filters worth a damn.
Thank you for taking browsers away from me, and making me rely on the Big Red Easy Button.... -blam!- simpletons.
This is also your problem with bloom. Because the "BIG RED EASY BUTTON" is what's forcing you to play the gametypes and settings that are pissing you and everyone else off. If they stuck with what the PC was doing for YEARS. Everyone would have done fixed the game already and there would be many MANY communities revolving around hosted dedicated servers with their own flavors of gamesettings.
It's all related with one underlying truth. Matchmaking is the ULTIMATE EVIL, that causes all other problems with this game.
Now that some of you have basically turned me into a celebrity.
I'm pretty sure I have your attention.
Now pay attention.
Because the truth was just laid upon you.
