Buying map packs, when no one bought them and neither Bungie nor 343i cared if we have them.

Bungie had playlists specifically for dlc, and 'tried' to make matches more likely to match you with other people with dlc (the problem was more with not enough people having them than with the system itself).

Can't say as much for 343 though, taking away good and needed playlists like ones for DLC, yet leaving crappy ones like super slayer.

>There wasn't Noble Map Pack, Defiant Map Pack, Premium Battle, Premium Slayer, Anniversary Classic, Anniversary FFA, Anniversary BTB and Squad DLC to play

If you guys really wanted to play the DLC maps... Play the DLC playlists, crazy right?

Always up for REACH customs!

Squad DLC was a horrible playlist... no TU settings, Armor Lock everywhere, low population and no party restrictions causing horrid skill mismatches, awkward 6v6 battles on maps designed for either 4v4 or 8v8, and crappy gametypes like Slayer Pro or AR starts on Highlands.

Forge is a big -blam!- waste of time... AGAIN!



Or you could lift up that rock you've been living under and join one of the many groups that run regular custom game nights and test everybody's custom content, which can be submitted to the cartographers and then 343.

Don't act like there's no way to get your content seen. You're just waiting for something that's never going to happen.

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!

To educate you people and to shove your nose in the pile of -blam!- you left behind.

Also....

Trying to say, I've been living under a rock?

You don't know the meaning of the phrase.

Here's the equivalent of living under a rock, as far as Halo goes.

Signing up to a 3rd party Forum, browsing through a list of which is mostly outdated except for maybe that last half of the list. Spamming invites to those people, waiting for them to accept the invites. Chatting, scheduling a time frame. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc

ONLY to finally finish the map just to submit it to a -blam!- bottleneck.

Of which, most likely, my map would never see the light of day in matchmaking because it would not follow an "OFFICIAL" guidline for the type of crap they put in playlists.

I would never ever care to submit to a bottleneck. EVER!

Just look at the playlists and what they have consisted of.
Just about anything I create, would probably be immediately rejected by whatever REJECTS they have controlling the playlists. Because they are that -blam!- stupid. And the proof is in the playlists.

IE. MY BTB map, will not have EVERY -blam!- VEHICLE in the game. It's going to be very specific. Like Warthogs only.
Unfortunately, the Rejects in control of the playlists have a HARD ON for stupid -blam!- like BTB Heavies.

I have no confidence in the "Bottleneck" of creativity.
Which is why I refuse to go out of my way to create content for them until they remove that bottleneck.

Imagine if all of the internet followed the model that Bungie layed out for us... as far as that Bottleneck goes.

Youtube...
You must first submit your video to someone working at google before anyone could ever see your video. It must be approved by that person.

Now imagine 1 BILLION people submitting videos to this person who has to approve it for you.

What do you think the chances are of your video getting approved?

How long do you think it will take for that person to actually get around to looking at your video?

You are the one living under a rock.

Back to my analogies.

Yes, there are some downsides to allowing just anyone to upload whatever the hell they want.

Innocence of Muslims is a great example of that.

But you know what?

You... the ones who prefer matchmaking. Are the equivalent of Islamist Extremist trying to fight against everyone elses Freedom of Speech.

Because only you, come up with excuses against it.
If you can't handle a troll, gtfo the internet.

Oh, and one more thing.
Your forgehub list.. is no better than MS, Bungie and 343 confining me to my friends list.

In fact.. It's the same -blam!- scenario. I'm being confined to a select handful of people.

I DON'T PAY FOR XBOX LIVE TO BE CONFINED TO MY FRIENDS LIST!

I like playing against "NEW" people.

What happenes when you play the same people over and over and over again?

IT GETS -blam!- BORING! Because I've seen their tactics, I know how they play already.

I want Unique opponents. Unique and varied opponents make better testers, competition, etc.

TL:DR
I regret that Halo has to have a community with it's priorities so far out of wack..

You raised your voices loud enough to make them tweak bloom.

But you are too stupid to raise your voices to get a server browser.

And some of you are too stupid to realize how superior a server browser is.

And some of you, act as though server browsers are nothing but trolls hosting everything. Some of you straight up LIE about getting kicked left and right from every server you ever try to join.

In the 20+ years that I have been taking advantage of Server Browsers on the PC. I've been unfairly kicked out of 2 servers in my entire lifetime of PC gaming.

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

Custom server browser allowing custom maps = incredibly easy griefing experience. 9/10 games would be people constantly spawning into killballs.

If you spawn into a kill ball.

That's your que to quit and find another room.

DUH!

I guess lifes over for you because you had to quit a game.. right?

If 9/10 games end up that way.
Why are 9/10 games I join exactly the opposite of that?
If 9/10 server browser games you try to join are Trolls greifing you.... Then you....

No.. you lie.

Because spending a huge amount of time sifting through different servers just to find a map that isn't complete garbage is convenient...

The only thing that could fix that would be to have a rating system on each server, but even that would be flawed because it would introduce a ton of bias and any new servers would have a difficult time grabbing anyone's attention since they would lack a rating; your scenario from before would occur and no one would pay attention to your maps.

I would say that 10% of games in a server browser end up being a waste of time.

I refuse to acknowledge that 90% of games would have you spawning into kill balls. It makes no sense.

Although I said 90% of you are not worthy of my friendlist.
That's only because 90% of you think your -blam!- don't stink and you talk alot of -blam!- when you have you Mic plugged in.

Just cause 90% of you have a big mouth, doesn't mean 90% of you are lame enough to flood a server browser list with games not worth playing.

I trust that the 90% do want to play a game, not have people join just to immediately leave... whats the point of that?

Even from a trolling perspective. It's no fun if nobody sticks around.

Disappointed.

OH.. BTW for all those of you complaining and regretting your purchase of DLC content..

Server Browsers would have fixed your problem too.

The Internet is an empowerment tool that's agnostic; it doesn't care about race, gender, or age.

Buying the map packs and investing so much time into the game. I should have been around a General instead of almost max.

  • 10.05.2012 4:44 PM PDT

U Wot m8

Uhh, buying the map packs.







Spawn killing, definitely that.
