Get your game up bad kid.


And yet nobody understands why I absolutely hate competitive players

Thats like saying you hate capitalism.

Competition is a natural thing bro. Get over it.

To be fair, there's competion, and then there's being a cunt and shoving it down everybody's throats at every available oppurtunity.

Nobody likes a broadcaster with a megaphone.

Here's an idea for 343i

>Make Elites playable for invasion only

It's simple and easy.

Now that's just a dickslap. Restricting things, especially things that involve player preference, is a no no.

Why? Elites were never popular anyways, and people barley use them. Besides they have the worst hit boxes anyway so why does it matter? Just take a look at Reach.

Yeah.

Thanks Reach for starting a huge set of shit trends that 343 doesn't appear to be willing to drop anytime soon.

Woo.

Forgot to add this, If we are talking about having the freedom to play as elites on custom or forge, and having the ability to change your elite the way you want it to. Then it's understandable. But if we are talking about elites being in multiplayer (besides Invasion) any day then thats a big no no to me.

Oh yeah but let's not forget that Reach single handedly killed off customs and forge so that option is fucking null and void.

Sadly, Reach killed what made Halo great. I'm surprise that people think 343i is responsible for killing Halo, when in reality Halo Reach did the work.

Here's the simple thing you can do to avoid stuff like this.

DON'T. PLAY. IT.

If you don't like it, don't play it. It's not hard, it's simple.

if we dont include worthless gametypes, then we have more resources to devote to gametypes that dont suck shit.

Invasion was not terrible, was it one of the best? No, of course not, but was it terrible? No, It just needed more working, many people (including myself) saw this as a welcome addition to Halo. But it did needed more work. It's basically a 7/10, a great addition but needs a bit more work. So like I said before, if you don't like it, then don't play it. How hard is it to follow a simple rule?

The concept was fun but the fact that every human weapon raped its Covenant counterpart kinda made it one sided. I mean don't even get me started how Elites had to spawn with the useless Plasma Repeater just to get slaughtered by Assault Rifles over and over haha.

But if they could balance the 2 sides better it would be fun.

Not bothered, now if they increase player count in BTB, they need much MUCH bigger maps to accommodate the changes. Thats the only way itll ever work

Goodness gracious, great balls of lightning!
Invasion is the most underrated Halo gametype ever.

Too bad Reach's god awful weapon sandbox and only having 2 maps ruined it.

This was essentially Reach's weapon formula.

UNSC= Longer Range, more all rounder and flexible, more power per shot
Covenant= Shorter range, special snowflake circumstances to use, less power in every way

My biggest rage inducer was the fucking focus rifle vs sniper rifle. The sniper rifle could fire across the entirety of forge world while the focus could only cover about 25% of the space in HemmoRAGE.

No one mentioned how the Covenant had zero way to defend against vehicles, especially when their own are stolen from them.  Did no one ever get raped by teams that stole Banshees?

I never even used the Focus rifle as a sniper, it was actually a pretty good weapon if you just treated it like a hip firing sentinel beam haha. But it was a horrible sniper

This one time, an entire team tried taking me out with needle rifles as if they were death star dmrs.

I LOL'D.

And I actually did tests afterwards. If I remember roughly, as one player, 2 clips and half of another from a DMR kills a Reach banshee.

With two players firing, this becomes 1 clip and a half or so from both players.

The needle rifle was something like 42 clips.
So with two players that would be roughly 21 clips required each.

With an entire team firing on me with needle rifles, assuming they didn't miss, they'd each need 8 clips from their needle rifles to kill a banshee.

You don't even spawn with 8 clips worth of ammo in a needle rifle.

In fact, I want to test this again to see just how laughable it is. I'll make a thread about it on my day off.

Yeah but that's the thing.

Fucking Bungie dropped it during Invasion slayer as the counterpart. I remember Hemmorage. If the elite team didn't steal the Spartan's sniper drop on the very first drop, they were fucked for the entire match.

Oh right, guess I stopped playing before that happened. Or didn't play enough to notice that, either way haha.
