Halo 2 was also lauded for its risk-reward style of gameplay. You had to bet on your own chance at victory because if you lost, you would run the risk of losing your rank. Rank meant everything in those days to gamers and competition was at the heart of gaming. Since then, we've seen ranking structures change to allow for a more casual experience. We've moved away from hardcore competition and more toward simply enjoying the experience of gaming with others by having rank systems that reward play as opposed to game results.

I have mixed feelings on this. Competition in games can create staying power, meaning that gamers will want to continue to play that game because they feel their time is invested wisely in that game. But, ultimately, this console generation has been all about opening the doors of gaming to a wider audience and that is truly amazing.


I hope in Bungie's new game they'll go back to their old ways. I miss a good ranking system. Out of all the Halo's that have Multiplayer Halo reach is my least favorite. I hardly ever play it and when I do I don't really care to win or try. Its not as fun for me unfortunately. It used to be imposible to get me off Halo 2 and 3 but reach meh. The Load outs are horrible in my opinion. It makes me die a little inside that 343i is keeping load outs in Halo 4. It's too much like COD and I don't like COD that's why I play Halo. IMO keeping things simple is the way to go. I don't know maybe I'm just getting older and grumpier but games aren't the same.

Anyways congrats on your 7th B-day!

Congrats buddy.

And great sum up on how we've all become more connected, and the benefits of gaming with one a other. Very well said.

Cheers to seven more. And seven more after that... Etc, etc.

Posted by: Duck duck DEATHThere's more to discuss in this thread than most other threads. Just because it isn't spelled out for you doesn't mean it isn't there.

I never really got into Halo 2. I was more of a Battlefront guy. It wasn't until Halo 3 that I got interested in Bungie. Few games nowadays have hardcore competition systems. I dislike that they now require you to put massive amounts of time in for rewards.

The good old days of Halo 2...I miss those days. Congrats on 7 though! I didn't realize I hit the same milestone until now! lol

Congrats Revan. I really enjoyed reading about your observations from a more competitive gaming community to a more casual community; I think that shows very strongly from Halo 2 to Reach.

Congratulations on making 7 years, Revan!

I turned 7 last week, but didn't have anything wise enough to make a thread about.

Here's to the next 7 years!

Although I wasn't on here, I started gaming online after Halo 2 came out simply because I had heard such amazing things about the multiplayer. "It's like unlocking half the game" I remember telling my dad. I think it's amazing how people will still fondly look back on Halo 2's multiplayer and some people will swear by it. It's interesting how game companies are adding more and more earnables/unlockables to their games because I think it shows how society is developing into a more materialistic one.

Good going on getting to your 7th though, Rev. I only hope the industry continues to thrive and adapt in the future!

Half of what I say is true. The other half are also lies.

I'd love to make a discussion but the focus of your thread was your Bnet birthday. All I can really do is nitpick points you mentioned, and that would not be about the primary matter you focused on. Modify your post, because the current point is "it's my birthday". Why do you think all the responses you're getting are "congratulations!".

If you're not willing to make it the focus of your thread then why bring it up? Clearly this isn't your intended discussion, and don't make a thread on something you don't want to discuss, especially if you're not willing to discuss it.

Is this the direction you would like the thread to go? This isn't what the OP is about. Either alter the original post to suit this dramatically different discussion or lock the thread.

Most of these discussions would be better suited in the Flood forum.

hey you

this is a happy thread
