The Reach forum and its opinions.
I created this thread today, in order to help the inhabitants of the Reach forum (that's you), develop a more intelligent, respectable, and not retarded opinion of the game we all love / hate (that's me) / are indifferent to.
[quote][/quote]
[b]Here are some examples of good and bad ways of stating your opinions:[/b]
[quote][/quote]
[quote][b](A1) Like the game - Non retarded opinion:[/b][/quote]I know this game has some issues that could definitely use some fixing, but I still think the game is lots of fun to play.
[quote][b](A2) Like the game - Retarded opinion:[/b][/quote]This game is absolutely perfect. There is nothing wrong with it. You just hate it because you suck! Learn to counter Armor Lock and pace your shots. Adapt!
[i]As a side note, I would like to point out that every word in the above opinion can be replaced with the word "derp" and still sound a goodly amount more intelligent than it previously did. Also note that the above opinion would most likely contain many grammatical errors.[/i]
[quote][b](B1) Hate the game - Non inflammatory opinion:[/b][/quote]I really don't like how this game turned out. The gameplay is just too random and slow-paced to enjoy. I just don't find it enjoyable like I did past Halo games.
[quote][b](B2) Hate the game - Inflammatory opinion:[/b][/quote]This game sucks! The only people who like this game are garbage Staff Captains from Halo 3 who couldn't use the BR to save their pathetic life!
[i]As another side note, I would like to say that I personally find this opinion to bring in hilarious replies, even though it's not exactly the best way to have an intelligent conversation with someone. I also think that it's a fairly accurate opinion, I do however try and put it in a slightly less inflammatory manor though. Go ahead . . . call me biased. :P[/i]
[quote][b]Conclusion:[/b][/quote]I personally am a B1, who respectfully disagrees with A1s. This is how I think this forum should operate. Respect each others opinions! Don't be an A2! B2s are hilarious, but yeah, I only recommend being a B2 to an A2 . . . the A2s deserve it. I would like to add that it is pretty entertaining watching A2s have a huge flamewar with B2s though.
PS: If you're confused about what I'm talking about when I say A1, A2, etc, then please note the way it says A1, A2, etc, in front of each type of opinion.
TL;DR: Lol, nope.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Darkside Eric [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] l SecretAgent l There is nothing you can do to adapt to a random situation.[/quote] This is completely untrue as nearly, if not wholly, the entirety of gameplay is based around the random actions of players. But we're going to go in circles here. I understand your meaning and where you are coming from, I agree with it for the most part however I am perhaps more general in my views while you may be more streamlined.[/quote]Yes. Circles are annoying. Let's agree to disagree on that particular point, shall we?

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] xBAMxBAM [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] l SecretAgent l [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Davey A1 or you're bad. The game has issues, it isn't perfect. However, it's enjoyable and much more decent than some believe. Yeah bloom can be annoying, but apart from that I don't really have a problem with much since I play Arena and there is no AL.[/quote]Nah, I hate what AAs did to gamplay. I've really only played Halo 3 lately because of how much I enjoy the original gameplay. There are many other reasons why I find Reach annoying though.[/quote] Mind if I ask why you don't enjoy AA's? I personally like them. I think they added a new way to how Halo is played. Now you have to think about what AA that person has when you're engaging them. I like that added strategy to the game. With that being said, I do believe that some AA's could use some tweaking. Personally I don't like AL. I'd rather have Overshield pick up on the map over AL. [/quote]I would love them as pick-ups, but the reason I don't like them is because I loved the simplicity of the original Halo gameplay. I just find AAs annoying is all. I would however love them in custom games. Except Armor Lock . . . Armor Lock just sucks all around.

I just like them because like I said, they add a new level to gameplay. They are also fun to use. Who doesn't want to roll around the map instead of walking?

I believe they should take some playlists and turn them into actual ranked playlists, while having some social. The ranked playlists would have AA's as pick ups(like in MLG) and in social, they'd be loadouts. [Edited on 05.22.2011 5:21 PM PDT]

Bungie did bring us the Classic playlist and I commend them for that. After E3, I think most of the people that have ideas for Reach need to post over at the 343 forums to get their attention. Not saying people aren't doing that already. More people posting though would get the point across better. [Edited on 05.22.2011 5:25 PM PDT]

[/quote]Yeah, but they added so many bad things into the game, and not that many good things. Hopefully 343i does fix things up though. And hopefully their forum population increases after E3.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] l SecretAgent l Yeah, but they added so many bad things into the game, and not that many good things. Hopefully 343i does fix things up though. And hopefully their forum population increases after E3.[/quote] Those good/bad things can be debatable, but I understand what you're saying. I would like 343 to try and make the game enjoyable for both sides. I'm all for them making the game better for competitive players, but I just don't want them stepping on casual players toes, if you get what I mean. Theres a middle ground that I think 343 can achieve. Right now, Reach is leaning more towards the casual side.

That's why I like the idea of having social and competitive playlists. Reach is almost all social, unfortunately.

It all just depends. With that being said, purely competitive players feel left out, and I can understand that. I liked Halo 2's matchmaking lineup. It had social playlists, at the same time having those ranked ones for the competitive people.

I sure hope so. Glad we can have an intelligent debate about the game.

Personally, I'm an A1. I protect this game mainly because people are being retards over trivial game mechanics.

Just as long as they aren't being douchers to you because you like the game.

It's funny... I am a mix of AB1. I am mostly B1 because I just don't care for the Halo formula anymore, it grew stale after Halo 2.

I'm just a B1, because this game just isn't that fun for me (unless playing in a full party).
