Damn it I've been wanting that to come back. 32 or 64 player is another mode I've been wanting so I'm not too bummed now.

If there's 32 player BTB I'll be happy with that. The multiplayer looks like it's going to be great so far.

FUCKING DROPPED

MS IS FINISHED

343 IS FINISHED

THE GAMING INDUSTRY

FINISHED

Are Elites making a comeback?

No

fuck off I wasn't asking you Sonymoi.

I'm honestly not surprised frankly. Most Covenant stuff has had a trend of being ungodly shit teir when going up againt their opposing unsc counterparts since reach.

I'd actually say good riddance, frankly. And plus, why would 343 introduce Elites back into MP at this point?

That would go against the bro-dude spartan MP silent code of conduct.

For christ sake 3fail3 why?

Because it wasn't very good?

They technically haven't even scrapped it.

Invasion sucked

And Larger =/= Better.

Halo is already crowded in BTB with 8v8. Heres hoping its only 10v10 at the most.

This is actually a fair point.

Halo has never done large crowds. It's an arena shooter. Expanding the population limit would mean having to totally restructure maps for map flow, and game and movement mechanics.

Even sprint, the simple aspect of sprinting, made a lot of the recent maps made for past Halos unplayable or shitty because the dev team was building maps with the old mechanics in mind instead.

And plus, come on.

I cringe at the thought of playing a 12 v 12 when australian, french, mexican, and UK connections become involved.

or US connections, because the majority have shit Internet

A fair point too. But in most regards, when the host of the match is handed to somebody from the US, it fares much better than my own Canadian connecttion. Generally, the US is the major population center for gamers, and therefore, they have the most average stable connections to work with.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAh
Something that isnt Halo 3

No dude, Halo doesn't do well with more numbers. You ain't understanding here. More numbers would mean changes would be absolutely neccessary to maps to support the numbers of people. Changes to game mechanics, changes to weapon functions. It wasn't just Halo 3.

Halo, in general, was always forumlated around smaller numbers. Game mechanics, and maps were structured around small team skirmishes.

And, on the other side, the technical side, Halo has always had iffy connection issues with foreign hosts. The games just don't have good support for it. I want you to imagine the nightmare of a 12 v 12 match filled with a mexican party.

I understand the need for inovation or attempted inovation to keep a series fresh over time.

Throwing in enormous battlefields with huge amounts of players wouldn't be innovative for Halo. It'd be jumping on the rather familiar bandwagon with most of today's shooters.

Did you play halo 4? Halo reach?

BTB with 2 good teams + Sprint = an unplayable map.

Also don't comment on my shit talking about halo 3. Halo 3 is trash compared to Halo 2. Get your game up bad kid.

To be fair, he isn't wrong.

Halo isn't designed for BTB.

Get your game up bad kid.

And yet nobody understands why I absolutely hate competitive players

If it makes you guys feel any better, by the end of Halo 4's lifespan, people were able to figure out how to forge and mod tiered objectives and maps into the game.  Maybe Halo 5 will give forgers something to work with.

PSU is not the representative of all competitive players.  How does generalizing and being equally as salty/hostile make you any different?  Also, does this mean you personally don't use "muh vocal minorty" when waving off criticisms from competitive players, like so many other people do?

Thats like saying you hate capitalism.

Competition is a natural thing bro. Get over it.
