Subject: What new game will...

attempt to match the competitiveness of Halo 3? It sure as hell wasn't reach and it won't be Halo 4 more than likely and don't get me started on COD... So will it be impossible or is there a chance some new game will come close to being as competitive as Halo 3?

Good question. Probably no game to be honest. I bet the first few weeks of Halo 4 will be loaded with players, and then after a month, most of the population will stop playing, because that's the small attention span of people who call themselves 'gamers' these days. Only game that comes close is Counter Strike... I think a new one's coming out later, but I don't know for sure.

If only Halo 4 wasn't Reach 2...

Too bad the game is boring as hell to watch. I can't even watch 1 minute of that game without falling asleep, Halo 3 MLG on the other hand? For hours.

The new Bango Kazoie game will have multiplayer. Don't worry guys, we're saved.

"What are we holding on to, Sam?"
"That there's some good in this world, and it's worth fighting for."

All I can think of is the new Counter-Strike. It really bores me to watch though. Guess we'll just have to hope for a Halo 2 remake that actually stays true to the multiplayer.

Bungies new game?


I'm not sure how much of Reach was Bungie's idea and how much of it was Microsoft's but if they make another game like Reach there is no way...

i don't think that will happen just from the standpoint that this is the darkest bungie has ever been about a new game... They are really working hard on it and being quiet about it...

I have yet to find a game equally comparable to halo 3's matchmaking competitiveness. Even back in 2007-2010 when halo 3 's glory days were around, specifically the first year when there were almost a million people playing at some points.

Black Ops 2 I run two accounts warmup only at 1.97kdr...real is at 3.77. i'm in master division 4 league play. pm 4 clan inv...must have 2.5 kdr or better

None, because competitive gaming isn't properly appreciated and most gamers would rather have a progression ranking system (I've seen this on the 343i forums).

I say good riddance. Honestly, I hate the MLG scene. The owner of that company takes competitive gaming way too seriously. Plus all the players now are nerds. Neighbor was a cool kid who played halo, but hardly any MLG players have personalities or real lives.

I hate when people think I'm hardcore because of 50s or something. Winning is fun. Rank should not be for bragging rights. It should be to put you against similarly skilled players. Ranking system has NOTHING to do with why I dislike Reach. I would be fine with no ranking system as long as I liked the gameplay and didn't feel like it was gimmics. I really think people who care about rank and MLG style play are nerds and they get zero respect from me.

-----
Until gaming gets to the point where there is no host advantage and without lag, then you can't say a game is perfectly competitive.

I've always felt both call of duty and halo take the same amount of skill. Even Reach has a skill gap, except when Vehicles are involved. Vehicles like the banshee take no skill to use with a proper team going against randoms. I think we all know which Reach player I am referring to.

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

Only if it has MP, and all the little things that made it what it was (See: button combos, superjumps, etc).

IMO Halo 3 glitches take more skill than those. I can land most glitches in both or at least did in my prime, but I know far less players that do side bounces on Ghost Town than super bounces on Halo 2 map. Halo 2 bounces were casual level jumps where Halo 3 had much more tactical shortcuts.

Super bounces should not be part of competitive play. I agree with button combos, but they were extremely easy.

Halo 2 Anniversary is something I would not buy.

Halo needs to evolve and not look bad. Seriously, you guys don't see the flaws in host advantage and improper maps?

I'm sick of people acting like Halo 2/3 can't be topped. It was great for it's time, but come a new console or at worst two generations it will become outdated.

Playing Anniversary I would prefer the Halo 1 pistol be back. 3 shot pistol is not overpowered at all when there are 10 or so power weapons in the universe now.

If you did not get past a rank 40, then NO. In other words, if ZOMBIEEEZ was all that you played, then of course it wasn't/inst't.

"You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space." -Johnny Cash

A lot of companies are catering to casuals nowadays because that's where the money is at right now, so I wouldn't be surprised if it would take a couple years for a game to come out that's actually competitive.
