I have been a Major Halo Fan since 2001 I’ve been to multiple MLG events & I know what competitive Halo should be like. "Halo 2 in my opinion is Perfect Casual & Competitive Halo"
I think that 343 is bringing something to Halo 4 that Bungie tried and failed doing with Reach & Halo 3 and that’s making a Competitive & Casual game. I hear this all the time you get locked into a game with a bad starting weapon & here comes the complaining “Trust me I’m one of them” Halo 4 is fixing this problem with the custom loadouts for Matchmaking.
If you really are a true Halo fan than you should know by the look of Halo 4’s gameplay & 343’s word on how smooth & fast pace the gameplay is that the game is starting to sound alot like Halo 2.
New Levels, New Weapons, Better Graphics, Smoother Gameplay & removing the Strafe Inertia with a Hitscan BR doesn’t sound fun and competitive to you people I don’t know how 343 could please you.

well understanding what the pillars of competitive gaming in a first-person arena shooter are is key…
sure he didn’t demonstrate it, and halo 2 isn’t the best example of the series of competitive. that would be CE. Halo 2 was fantastically balanced on LAN…Halo 3 was disappointing from registration to spread issues…Halo Reach had a myriad of issues that affected the overall competitiveness of the game. ZB has made it more fun though…
I think 343i will do fine and realistically they are not going to put out a game - that is worse then Reach is/was as they have been doing everything to fix Reach and with each Update its gets better .
Thank’s 343i
P.s I really really want a 1-50 style Ranking system / better then reach …
Until I see more game play and have played the game myself I really can’t how its really going to be. From the little game play I’ve seen it does look good and I was able to play halo reach I’ll be able to play this.
Played a little halo 3 to see how much better the movement speed made the game. It was a lot more fun might play it a little more. Anyway my point is they seem to have changed that back from reach which is looking like a great thing. So they hopefully are on the right track.
