Post the following:
-H2 high skill (if you played, most won’t have)
-H3 high skill
-Best Reach Arena placement AND / OR your MLG K/D and W/L ratios
-Your thoughts so far about H4 and how successful you predict it will be - based on any knowledge, mechanics, and observations you’ve made
Just wondering if there’s any correlation. And be honest, there’s no need to lie. You’ll only skew the results.

It’s just an experiment to see if players’ stats correlate with their opinion on Halo 4.

-Don’t remember
-47 on this acc
50 Lone Wolves, MLG, Team Doubles, SWAT on another acc
-Onyx (dropped to Gold b/c of playing w/ friends casually; plus, when friends come to my house, I let them play on my acc while I use comp or something)
-At this time, unfortunate to say, I don’t think Halo 4 will competitively survive compared to Halo 3’s success. I’m sure it’ll do better than Reach, but not by much. Bungie had a low budget to produce Halo Reach; 343 is getting rained money by MS Studios to make a good game, esp. w/ mass advertising soon to come, high budget, devel. of FUD, more staff, etc. If Bungie had all these resources, they could’ve made an amazing game. I’ve recently lost interest in Reach and have begun playing Black Ops, sad to say. Hopefully, Halo 4 will bring me back.
-H2 high skill:15? I didn’t play much Halo 2 online, until I heard the servers were going down.
-H3 high skill: SWAT 50
-Best Reach Arena placement: Top 50% Gold
-Your thoughts so far about H4 and how successful you predict it will be: I think it will be very interesting how the BR will compare to the other weapons that have bloom. I know stats have been given for the E3 build, but they will change, and not everyone is an MLG pro, so the “average” person will be different. I think I will be above average (better than my friends), but I won’t be amazing.
Also I’ll be playing Halo 4 for a while without playing other games… CoD, Battlefield, etc… so I’ll naturally get better the more I play.

But that should be irrelevant. Let people express their opinions, and if you care so much, go look at their stats yourself. An experiment like this is pointless, and will only lead to flaming.
People this is a correlation thread, I’m not going to flame anyone.
I enjoy analyzing things and this is an easy way to condense it all to one thread. I expect certain outcomes of course, due to what shall remain my unwritten hypothesis, but it’s all just a survey in the end. Handle it maturely.

I don’t recall the OP implying this would happen ITT. Post on topic.
OT -
Didn’t play H2, 48 in H3 (didn’t play it), 6% in Reach, H4 looks good at it’s core but will flop with all the pointless, unnecessary elements being added. It will sell well, but the population will suffer just like Reach’s did. Hopefully we can get good core playlists and then I’ll be pleased.

People shouldn’t use stats from the past, especially since many people were young at H2 and 3. They most likely are different people by now. Things change…I don’t like being judges off of stats.

Halo 4 will be more successful than Reach objectively and subjectively (that is, statistically and in my opinion). The fact that it’s better than Reach is great, and its core is near perfection. With an even split of good playlists and bad playlists, the game could be better than Halo 3, but without a solid ratio of good to bad playlists, the game will be worse than Halo 3.
Fortunately, Halo 4 has the best core since Halo 2 from what I’ve seen, so it has the most potential of any game yet, yet it probably won’t live entirely up to it. Who knows, though. We have to remember that the first gameplay they showed us was of “BR Slayer,” so that’s a good sign.
> Halo 2 highest skill: 9
> Halo 3 highest skill: 45
> Arena: I think 15% Onyx… I’m probably off. (Who cares about Arena)

Well said, it’s about time I don’t get the strong urge to boot you from FT.
Halo 2 HS: 32
Halo 3 HS: TS 50
Arena: I don’t play that crap
Halo 4 has promise, but it’s being bogged down by pointless gimmicks and questionable gameplay decisions. (Promethean vision anyone?) Current optimism is exceedingly low.
the core mechanics look good, i wish the weapons would kill quicker and i hope the game has little aim assist as it appears to in the videos. I hope it has good maps- thats one of my biggest worries at the momment, and I’m still sick of armor abilities, but if camo and jetpack aren’t in multi- then default mm will be very bearable.
