My favorite part of this thread though is when Prehistoric decided to snip me out of all of the quotes so I wouldn't get a notification of him talking shit.

i skimmed a lot but it seems like he didnt talk about multiplayer at all.

weird, to ignore the flagship game mode in a 40 minute review.

He talked about it for almost half of the review, especially the REQ system.

i didnt see or hear anything relating to the maps, weapon sandbox, or gametypes. i did hear him bitch about the REQ system for about 15 minutes. which could have been covered in like, 5 minutes.

You know what IS a predatory system that is basically gambling? The CoD pay care packages in the odds you "might" get the gun you want. You could get it by playing normally, but the odds are stacked insanely against you that it basically encourages you to get the better guns. Oh yeah, they're factually better too.

That's predatory. Because a kid is gonna go "mommy mommy can I get this on CoD?" and the mom won't know exactly what her son is buying and she'll let him buy it so he can shut the fuck up and enjoy her wine a little longer...

I snip'd you out because I wasn't talking to you and I didn't want you to bitch about our quoting.

But next time I talk shit I'll be sure to send a postcard.

A rookie (Osiris Team)

>ONI's top assassin (Locke)
>Genius in Sangheli interaction and veteran of a mission to the fucking Ark (Vale)
>Top Tier ODST and survivor of the battle of Mombasa (Buck)
>Woman who joined the UNSC after surviving living on a glassed fucking planet (Tanake)
>"rookie team"

Maybe using the word "rookie team" was a bit redundant.

REQ system seems fine to me, I don't really see how it's predatory at all

and no just because its microtransactions doesnt make it bad

Things he complained about just off the top of my head:
-poor map rotation and design
-lack of classic maps
-lack of BTB
-lack of splitscreen
-tedious progression system

He also said he enjoyed Warzone and had some other praises, too. I think he likes Breakout also.

Come on man, at least have the balls to admit it when you get caught.

as i understand it, half the funds from microtransactions go into HCS prize pools. also, apparently the best way to maximize the potential of your REQ cards is to buy the ones you get with the relatively-easy-to-get in game currency.

still doesnt sound like anything remotely close to an in-depth review of the multiplayer.

and if he thinks the map design is bad, well, it makes a lot of sense that he's terrible at the game.

Except I didn't "get caught". I was doing you a favour because I know how much I hate it when people quote me without me being active in the conversation (hell, Psy and Korra are doing it right fucking now.)

You think I wouldn't consider that you might see my "shit talking" in a public and popular thread that you're clearly active in?

Perhaps if I had sent Assassin a PM or something than you would have cause for this behavior.

But nah, you got me.

Elai · November 02, 2015, 08:05:54 PM

Warzone is pretty shit, though. I could not stand more than 5 minutes.

The arena is a blast. Reminds me a lot of Halo 1.

Why BR starts aren't the the regular I'll never understand. For a game that wants to be competitive so bad it forces its players to spend the first 20 seconds of each life sprinting for that one BR.

"Why BR starts aren't the regular I'll never understand" Didn't every Halo "Except for 2" start a match with an assault rifle and pistol?

in CE yes thats true, but the CE pistol was the strongest default weapon the series has ever had. Halo 3 had both BR and AR starts but only retards wanted AR starts. there are some obvious exceptions; AR starts are usually desirable on maps like standoff and sandbox, but only because those maps are extremely easy to set up control on if the enemy doesnt spawn with BRs. Reach and H4 had loadout based systems which let the players choose which starting weapons they wanted.
