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!

You still don't get it. With that method, customs is limited to your opponents being the same exact people day in and day out, because the alternative of constantly spamming new invites after a day of putting up with MM retards is just that...not an alternative.

First, you have to use MM itself. Strike 1.
Then, you have to spam invites to recent players. Strike 2
Then, you have to hope enough of them answer. Strike 3
Then, you have to hope that they are all willing to play the game once they see what it is. Strike 4

If any part of that order of operations comes up lacking, start over and spend more time playing MM. The thing you are trying to avoid at all cost. It's the reason you're trying to get a Custom game going. But I have to play MM , to play a Custom game

HELL THE -blam!- OH!!!

What about... You're not going to believe this... Communities for custom games? There's thousands of them. You're not going to be playing the same people every day.

an External website to handle something that most PC games handled perfectly within the game.

Why should I have to sign up to a 3rd party website to get server browser functionality?

You don't get it.

STFU!

The largest community I see for custom gaming in Halo has about 400-500 members. Less than half of that number shares the same preference as me. I don't find playing against the same exact people over and over very entertaining. I don't pay a subscription to be limited to a small handful of opponents.

Understand this.

There is not thousands of communities.. There is one. And it doesn't have the -blam!- tools it needs to handle custom games. Because dumbasses said it would thin out the population for matchmaking. Dumbasses like you.

Using 3rd party website to find custom games is bad...mmkay?
Having to wade through MM so that you can spam invites to recent players to play a custom game with you is bad....mmmkay?

Groups of people organized together to play gametypes they agree on beforehand with a scheduled meeting time?

Nah, no way that exists.

Again

It's really too bad they stopped making PC games and consoles became the only way on the planet to play games.

Yeah because having to schedule your play time around a bunch of other people just makes so much sense as opposed to being able to constantly at any time of the day find like minded players, without having the schedule the rest of your life around it.

What happened to the whole investing time to get quality matches argument you had a second ago?

There are thousands of communities. Grifball, MLG, Gamebattles. Bnet groups like Winter Contingency, Forum Tryhards, Sapphire. And don't forget the hundreds of clans that post in the classifieds every day that have gamenights in customs at least once a week.

You're just too lazy to look for any of them, so you'll be stuck playing what you don't want to play. Isn't that what you just said about servers? If you don't put in the time searching for a good server, then you're not going to get one?

It doesn't bother me. It's just a visible representation of what's been there since Combat Evolved.

I hate 100% bloom

I enjoy 85% bloom

I enjoy zero-bloom

Bloom can be a pain when you don't land that critical headshot sometimes though..

Some people aren't educated on the matter, don't be surprised when they show up.

I intend to live forever, or die trying,

so far, so good.

If we don't have the option to search Custom games in Halo 4.

And you think this is something we should have. Keep posting on Way Point, and hopefully it will be a new feature for halo 5.

Who knows, maybe Halo 4 will have it.

Why is it even in the game? I hate it.

Bloom is terrible, random and overall an extremely stupid addition to Halo.


Called it.

Posted by: MR E0S
So how many people here, think Halo is a game all about 1v1 encounters? Raise your hands.

1 versus 1 = Bloom is random and favors noobs.
(according to pro players)


Fact, not opinion.

2 Versus 1 = Bloom is no longer the issue.
(A concept that goes in one ear and out the other)


Wrong.

Someone throws a grenade = Bloom is no longer the issue. Wrong.
Someone picks up a sniper rifle = Bloom is no longer the issue. Wrong.
Someone picks up a shotgun = Bloom is no longer an issue. Wrong.
Someone uses anything other than a DMR to battle with = BLOOM IS NO LONGER AN ISSUE! Wrong.

Ok, now that we've established how wrong you are, I think I'm done here.

Hanger one I just shredded with the SMGs until ammo was out and I just threw 'nades like a boss while BRing.

My experience playing Cairo Station on Legendary

It holds no place in MY Halo games. Basically, Bloom was a huge factor to my disappointment in Reach.

Ohai, I'm Loscocco (pronounced Loss-cocoa). I'm a college student (computer science major), 3D animator, and long-time Halo player.

How does this generic thread still make hot topic and how does E0S post if he has no brain cells?

  • 06.20.2012 10:40 PM PDT

aye another thread tainted by e0s' stupidity.

  • 06.20.2012 11:08 PM PDT

I love how after what, 2 years we continue to argue about the same -blam!- over and over and over again. I think we've established that bloom sucks, and that MR E0S is full blown retarded. Uh, yeah, thanks for reminding me... again.
OP just wanted an easy hot topic and decided to make a generic thread about bloom (with a -blam!- original post to top it off).
Congratz people.

Again, why are you retarded?

You don't even play this game, why are you so butthurt about it?


The same thing could be asked of a great many people in this forum.
