I’ve been playing halo since I was young, started with h1 and fell in love with. Naturally I begged my family to get me h2. The second I dual weilded, I had a heart attack. H3 introduced me to multiplayer (we never had Xbox live) and gave me my first online competitive experience. It also introduced me to custom games! Literally the funnest time I believe you can have online. At least in regards to FPS games. So when reach comes out and all the new forge mechanics blew my -Yoink- mind!! You could pass object through other objects without glitching! So, couple years go by, I enjoy classics like fat kid, sharks and minnos (not so much a classic) bumper cars and even a bigger and better Micheal Jackson’s mansion. Action sack as well. Aaaaah hockey.
Unfortunately my good times are short lived and I should’ve spent less time on MM, because all I can find. Seriously. All I can find is assassination, drive or die, some weird cops and robbers game, and some new games that arent too bad, but very cheap for the survivor. I don’t enjoy assassinations to any extent and imo it takes no skill and is connection based or double/triple teaming or swarming for easy kills. Yet that’s all you find… How is this fun? It usually ends at 1000 but… Cmon, really? All you do is jump around and spin and all that stupid stuff. An assassin is sneaky, assassination players, are not. So gimmie your thoughts on custom games. Do you still find the classics, or games I haven’t mentioned? Am I just an arrogant -Yoink-?
tl;Dr Reachs custom games are mostly assassinations, that’s stupid.
I completely agree with you, I haven’t had a good go at Halo Reach customs games since 2011 probably. I don’t know why Assassination is so popular, its been the only Halo Reach custom being played for years now. I went back to Halo 3 customs for a few years, there are still a select few player where if you find them, play some fantastic games.
Assassination custom games take skill, it’s just there’s so many different approaches people take (backup/360/sidestep) that it looks laggy. It’s just swift quick movements that look like the enemy phased right through you when in reality they just out did you. Why are you even talking about skill when you play games like fat kid and what not? Those are purely recreational, assassinations is becoming more competitive by the day it’s just those few bad apples that attempt to alter connection. Despite its basic structure and the horrid community surrounding it, it keeps you coming if you know what you’re doing. It just feels nice being head to head with one individual without cheap grenade throws or armor abilities. And if you get double teamed, and still win, kudos to you.
Long due reply, but I play MLG and slayer as well… I don’t do MLG custom games lol 
I was just saying how far (or how little depending on who you are) halo has come. I can get kills without too much effort or frustration, but I still think it’s not skill based, or if it is the skill gap is tiny. The core game itself is skill based, and I find that a lot of the people who play assassinations aren’t very skillful when it comes to DMRs and pretty much anything that’s not a sword. I won’t sit here and say assassinations is horrible and everyone who plays it is trash but it definitely isn’t the custom game I wanna play. I’d rather play grifball 
Assassination gametypes are cancer, i hate it with a burning passion. I have no clue why it is all anybody plays anymore on reach.

I agree, I myself stir alot of commotion with those individuals who, well, you know. However, even though I’m really good at assassinations I dropped from slayer cause I’m not much devoted to that anymore. However those people who play petty and say I was cheating to play MLG with them still get their butts kicked. By me.

Its not the gametypes perse, its more the community that surrounds it. (Teaming, crouching next to eachother for kinks, etc.)
I have some highly polished Maps i made back when halo reach was all I played. I spent countless of hours in forge. Send me a friend request to ThePwnDevice. THESE MAPS HAVE REALLY NEVER HAVE BEEN PLAYED BEFORE. Im not a big social guy so that could be why.
