I never really played much of Halo 2 or 3 when they came out... I kinda switched from CE and didn't play again until Reach. I had played the campaigns and a bit of the multiplayers, but I found the change from the original too jarring to like it.

But now that the game is out, and I'm getting into matches steadily (I switched my NAT type to Open, made a huge difference) I'm just having a blast in the H2A playlist. BR looks, feels and sounds great.

Just thought I'd put my two cents in.

I'm actually not against the changes they've made... it's how they respond to the feedback that intrigues me.

As someone whose two favourite Halo's are CE and 4, you can understand how flexible I can be towards MP... and hearing about how little auto-aim there is just warms my heart.

But in terms of storytelling and thematic complexity, 343i will win every time.

AKA You want 343i to make a Halo 2 clone.

Halo 2 Anniversary MP is literally a Halo 2 clone minus the glitches.

This goddamn community is ridiculous. Halo 5's a fucking Arena game that expands upon Halo's MP, but suddenly that's too far (farther than Halo 4 apparently...), especially with the game being over a year out from launch.

Your cries do not fall upon deaf ears, Forthencho.

I'm honestly extremely excited for the H5G beta... looks like a faster-paced Halo 2.

Nope, I just don't blindly accept any change as holy and wonderful.
H2A added interactive pieces on the maps and I'm not bothered.  It was a good change.  Sprint, ADS like every other game now a days has (inb4 it's the same zoom but different), 1 hit kill ground pound, etc just aren't good.

But you do blindly adhere to what is tried and true, stagnating progress.

Additionally, you also imply that I am treating the new Halo 5 abilities as holy. Instead, I do not mind them, and think they can work well. However, I do agree with a lot of criticism regarding ground pound.

Also, if you are complaining about an aesthetic animation that has absolutely no effect on gameplay, I pity your lack of judgmental depth.

Well because it worked.  You don't see chess or football radically changing every year to keep people interested.  They all have there niches, which Halo had till it started losing its identity.  Clamber removes trick jumps (something popular with Halo), had a unique zoom but now it has the generic aim down sight, ground pound is a one hit kill, and medals for literally everything.  It is better than Halo 4 though.

Ugh, I still can't find games to save my life.  It's been a little better starting yesterday, but I still only manage to find one game every 25 minutes of searching or so.  And even then, the games themselves are really glitchy: can't respawn, teams divided awkwardly, game ends out of nowhere, game crashes, etc...  Plus, just basic menu navigation is all fucked up.

Apparently, someone went into Ranked H2A Oddball, and when the game started, they were playing Forge.

The context of a physical sport is a lot different than a video game. Especially since the video game industry has thousands of different games released every year, whereas athletic sports have remained static for quite a long time.

As for chess, chess has remain unchanged for so long because it is hundreds of years old, and there is no official authority that can dictate or modify the game.

Interestingly enough, if we look at Chess' popularity, yes it is well known and widely recognized, but it is not something that you see everyone playing, on TV, or in widely recognized events anymore. A comparable analog in the video game industry would be Pong. It is highly recognized among gamers and has remain unchanged, yet few people even play it, let alone own a copy.

In a sense, the clamber mechanic does remove trick jumps. But that's assuming that the maps are being built in classic Halo fashion. They are not. So now, the trick jumps become how to get closest to a far away ledge in order to clamber up.

I managed to change my NAT type to Open... made a helluva diffrence.

I get games once every 5-10 minutes now.

So what you're saying, you want them to repackage a multiplayer you can already play?

Man, what franchise sounds just like that?

So you're telling me, people do the same plays constantly and all matches play exactly the same?

"flaming nipple chops"-Your host, the man they call Ghost.

To say, 'nothing is true', is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say, 'everything is permitted', is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious or tragic.
