    They went out of their way to say that option wasn't available. Leads me to believe that if there were more restrictions we'd know about it.


    There is a lot they are being purposefully ambiguous about, so I wouldn't jump to that conclusion.

    Also, it seems likely to be something easily fixed with a patch.


    So are a lot of things, but that doesn't mean they'll do it.


    And this was something they were explicit with.

    They removed Bloom from TU playlists in Reach. They've already proven that if a mechanic isn't working they fix it or remove it.

    And before you say it, I am aware that bloom is in Halo 4 on some guns. SOME guns. Not all. And it seems to be a lot less prominent and simply a way to make one gun function different from others.

    They didn't fix bloom, they didn't fix the terrible map selection, they didn't fix the arbitrary forge money limit, they didn't fix armor lock, they didn't fix the matchmaking ranking system (and I mean the hidden skill based one).

    No, 85% bloom in some of the playlists is not fixing bloom. No, zero bloom in a single playlist is not fixing bloom.

    In looking at my Friends List thing I see that MrSty is watching me. Someone who doesn't like me, who seemingly follows me into topics to troll me, is following me. Talk about mad.


    Mad? Coming from the person who ignored me. I follow you because you used to make hilariously dumb posts. You're not as bad now though, kudos.

    They got rid of bloom. How is that not fixing it? The people who don't want it don't have to play with it and the people who don't mind it or like it still have it. Everyone gets something they like.

    They can't exactly fix the terrible map selection when the only good maps of the game are Forge World maps which people hate because of lack of visual variety and DLC maps which no one bought because the originals sucked so bad. What do you propose they do?

    They didn't get rid of bloom, the only playlist that doesn't have bloom is MLG, and that was never owned by 343/bungie hence why its not updated since MLG dropped reach. Not to mention they only added ZB for CTF, KOTH and Slayer leaving out many gametypes like oddball and assault.

    343 left a lot of loose ends in terms of broken mechanics in reach.

    They got rid of it in a single playlist. Newsflash, I like to play more than just MLG.

    No one got the map packs because the DLC maps were terrible.

    My guess was that they left Reach alone to work on their own game by the end of it. >_>

    I could be entirely wrong though. Just seems like the thing to do at a certain point. It's like Bungie left them with a mess to support in the middle of developing their own game.

    qq i can turn armor abilitys off n mlg but im going to cry about them neway qq

    Just because YOU don't tell people that MLG is the way the game aught to be played doesn't mean that others don't, or that they don't imply it with their actions.

    Your ability to enjoy the game is still going to be there when most of the options you are upset over can be turned off. And if you can't turn off perks (haven't heard from anyone if you can) then MLG can STILL make it work. Force people to use the one that lets you pick up grenades from bodies and now not only are you on a level playing field with all other people (by having the same perk) but it fits classic Halo gameplay. Other than not being able to drop the flag, which only really promotes a different kind of strategy from classic CTF as opposed to just removing all strategy entirely, all the other options I see people complain about can be turned off. Don't like them? Don't play the non-MLG playlists. Don't like it? Make custom games and play with the friends you have that you're always telling everyone else to make. The solutions are there, just because 343 didn't make the default game to cater to a small portion of the community doesn't mean that there are no options to make it work.


    Yeah, we know you don't play well with others. No need to constantly reiterate it every single day.

    You continue remind everyone that you're incapable of functioning in a non-sociopathic manner on an internet forum.

    If everyone could state their opinions in a non-aggressive way with positive or no response, things could be so much better!


    Not really. The same points keep getting brought up by the awful players on this board who seem to think that the idea/question they have is new, when in reality it has most likely been asked/stated here many times before.

    I don't see why you expect the few players on this board who actually know what they are talking about to make a long post detailing why someones opinion is wrong or wouldn't work when they have most likely done so may times before. Even when one of the few people that are remotely good on this board posts a detailed response it almost always goes right over the other persons head as they are incapable of understanding what the decent player is saying.

    Things would be much better on this board if the awful players (who make up the vast majority of the board) learned to use the search function or put some thought into what they are posting.

    Alternatively you could save of few of those posts and repost them when needed. Tends to save me a bit of time in game recommendation topics when I have pre-made pros and cons.

    Mainly because the search feature will give the one searching a huge amount of back and fourth "this is skill" and "you're bad" fights which may or may not include what you are looking for. Or the information I am searching for is lodged inside a topic that started as something completely else.

    And if the people still insist on sporting a full-on derp you could consider using the ignore list.

    You want him to NOT like a complete rectal sphincter? That's the only thing he does. Never once has he treated any user outside of his own little elitist tryhard circle jerk with even a shred of decency or respect. Without that, he's nothing.

    I understand making educated assumptions based on prior knowledge and experience, but many of the changes are entirely new to Halo, in the end, only the ones that played it really know whether it works out well. It's fine being apprehensive, but some of you need to stop being so condescending. Opinions can't be wrong, don't criticize others for them. (Why am I on Halo 4's board giving moral lessons?).
