Only if we can go back to your place~

Ooh, alright. How about we take a taxi?
But I dont have any monies...

Don't worry, I do...Eleven, twelve, thirteen...Yep, I have just about enough to get to my place.
Yaaaaaaay! :D

When we get there we can have some real fun...

There is no greater catharsis than arguing on the Flood.

Lacks what? Armor Lock? Absurd DMR bloom? Slow pacing? -blam!- half-assed maps?
The only maps in Halo I would honestly consider half-assed are the Defiant and Crimson map packs. Hopefully CA is stepping up their game for February.

I can't wait to see "Why isn't Halo 5 as much fun as Halo 4?"

Calling it right now.
What long odds you've set yourself up for. Afterall, it's statistically impossible for a person to prefer one game over another.
It's actually quite funny, literally no one except the trolls "liked" reach before halo 4, and now everyday you get a thread saying "i miss reach" or "gosh reach was fun" and "reach > halo 4"

The cycle exists and you all know it.
There is no damn cycle.

Examine the logic if you will:
Gamer A says "Halo Reach sucks, I prefered Halo 3!"
Gamer B says "Halo 4 sucks, I preferred Halo Reach!"
Gamer C says "Halo 5 sucks, I preferred Halo 4!"
Conclusion: There is a profound cycle of hate where people forget why they hated a previous game as soon as the newest game comes out.


Please, tell me logic is sound, and I will give you a hundred reasons why it isn't.

Goat was famous. Irie was infamous. Gh0st was FaMaS.

My stats in Halol 4

Typical Waypoint post.
no it's "its got to go" you wouldn't say the "it is got to go" would you?

Reach was bad in a way that could make people angry.

Halo 4 was bad in a way that bored the crap out of people.

You're so nice Ember, Taking me back to your place after ive been drunk all night and not trying anything.

What a great person

I wholeheartedly agree. It may be the lack of gametypes, huge changes to Infection, and the shoddy File Share.

I would honestly love to hear why. For starters, the firefight map proved not to change gameplay in any significant way, and a multiplayer map would be more appreciated. Highlands, while looking really cool, suffered from poor weapon layout and rarity in matchmaking to the point I cannot remember one good objective game I had on it (but quite a few bad ones). Condemned was an alright map, but in no way a game-defining map that has any chance of being remade in the future.

Not to mention this was the first Halo map pack since Heroic not to add anything for Forge users, which was immensely disappointing (only worse because Tempest had not satiated anyone's appetite). Truly, Certain Affinity had no idea what people were looking for, and I worry, may still have no idea as more Halo 4 map packs are released.

You are the only person ive talked to who has negative opinions about Defiant, I was more than happy to buy it for Highlands alone, The firefight map which I forget the name of was lacking, Ill give you that, But the pack itself was beautiful to look at and worked amazingly for gameplay, Condemned specifically with its rocket spawn in a room with no gravity.

"Life is constantly fleeting from your grasp even from the very day it's bestowed upon you, but the shadow of death is always there, waiting for its chance to take you away."

"Even though many may not think so, ignorance and innocence are one and the same. The only difference is that one sounds nicer."

"I once knew a man who spent his entire life contemplating where we go after our death....it's a shame he realized it a second too late to tell anyone."

Multiplayer wise:

Halo 3 > Halo 4 > Halo Reach

My opinion, anyway.

I went to a Civilization forum, and the community by a large margin, disliked Civ 5 and prefered 4. Later I found a thread in the Bethesda forums with people arguing how Oblivion was much better than Skyrim, same with Battlefield. This is a wide phenomenon not exclusive to the Halo franchise.
It's not a phenomenon. That's just common sense.

Are you implying that those sequels are objectively worse than the earlier games?

Anyway, the thing all those threads had in common, is that all of them were variations of the "This game is dumbed down/more streamlined/caters to casuals".

I'm not going to argue anecdotes with you. I will say that I would be surprised if it wasn't the worst selling Halo map pack since Heroic. Even people who played Reach throughout its lifespan could easily avoid purchasing it.

Just for you, I'm going to look it up. Mythic II sales and Anniversary Pack sales don't count because a majority simply bought the games that came with them.

I'm saying that when you have a choice between viewpoint A and viewpoint B, of course you will see people who hold both viewpoints. That's not profound, that's just common sense.
