BUNGIE, DO YOU KNOW WHAT ITS LIKE TRYING TO PLAY REACH IN A COMPETITIVE MANNER? ITS A -blam!- JOKE THERE IS NO WAY YOU CAN TAKE IT SERIOUSLY ,COD IS A BETTER COMPETITIVE GAME THAN HALO NOW. Spam,Spam,Spam my DMR until I get lucky and get the headshot. Every time someone is 1 shot and they should die, my bloom -blam!-s me over or they roll away from me. I do more chasing than shooting in Reach. I spawn, jetpack -blam!- in the air raining down shots on me, I have someone 1 shot he AL's and his teammate cleans me up. Camo sniper across the map getting free headshot kills because of a stupid OP AA, THE SNIPER IS ALREADY EZ MODE AND THEN YOU GIVE THEM CAMO WTF? How can you disgrace the sniper like that? Power weapons are OP and free kills. Shotgun/Sword+Sprint/evade? Your dead theres no way a DMR is going to kill him. Rocket launcher is a free insta kill no skill required. Grenade launcher catch an enemy with his back to you and its a free kill. Sniping used to be an art now any -blam!- moron can use it effectively and its a death machine. Concussion rifle just spam shots at the slow-moving enemy until hes dead. Bungie you -blam!- up all the skill weapons, so everyone just power weapon whores now and camps. Why push up when I got a DMR that has the range of a sniper? Why push up when I camp with power weapons and get easy cheap kills? With AA's peoples dumb decision are not punished as they are used as spammable defensive tools. YOU CAN BE IN THE ENEMIES BASE WITH AN ENEMY CHASING YOU AND ESCAPE TO YOUR BASE ALIVE WITH SPRINT OR EVADE. What happened to stupid decisions being punished? If you have 0 awareness you can still be good at Reach, because everyone has a spammable "IWin" button to get them out of trouble or help them get gimmicky cheap kills. YOU EVEN -blam!- UP CQB. Why waste my time unloading my AR on someone when I can just run up to them smack them in the face two times, and they die? I CANT EVEN -blam!- NINJA THE IDIOTS WHO DO THIS. Cheap tactics are the name of the game in Reach. Whore power weapons play like the biggest -blam!- camping try hard and you will win the game. Then to top all of this off you remove 1-50, as the final slap to the competitive Halo communities face, and replace it with ONE PLAY LIST that cares about. The intensity is gone, the competitive edge is gone, if you want to be dominate you got to whore a power weapon and use cheap tactics, the skill gap is almost non-existent,game play is random and setups are useless,close matches are gone,teams are gone,and as a result the competitive Halo community is all but gone. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE BUNGIE WHO MADE HALO CE+HALO 2? HALO CE+HALO 2 WERE ARGUABLY THE TWO BEST COMPETITIVE CONSOLE GAMES EVER AND YOU GO AND MAKE LOL, REACH? HOW CAN YOU TURN ON YOUR FAN BASE LIKE THAT? I REFUSE TO BELIEVE THE SAME DEVELOPERS MADE REACH ITS A DISGRACE TO HALO, AND A SLAP IN THE FACE TO THE HARDCORE FAN BASE THAT SUPPORTED YOU AND KEPT YOUR HALO GAMES ALIVE. I never thought, id see the day Halo is so distorted and marginalized. It is a disgusting sight and I dont see how you can turn something so great, into a complete joke that I dont even recognize. And yeah im mad, my favorite game that I grew up playing extensively has been destroyed, and has been turned into a game based on gimmicks and cheap game play. /rant R.I.P.
