2 weeks ago you released the no bloom gametype for us, with default settings. We quickly knew that No Bloom doesn’t play well with derpReach Settings and gave our feedback. Along with a lot of the current maps don’t really play well with No Bloom either but that’s beside the point.
Yet you released the beta hoppers with derpReach settings. We don’t want to play Default Reach and thats what we’re playing right now, Default Reach with No Bloom.
Settings should have been something along the lines of,
—No AA’s (yeah I get it we’re suppose to be testing out the changes to AL an AC, that can be done in the other 4983426870348 85% bloom gametypes, leave them out of the one No Bloom)
– Single DMR loadout, no secondary
– 120% Movement Speed
–125% Jump Height
–100-150% Gravity ( I personally like 100 but to some its “too floaty” but it reminds me like Halo 2’s jump,if there was 110-125% Gravity I think that would be perfect for everyone)
–75% Melee damage
Optional, 1 nade starting.
But since you didn’t use any of that, you’re going to have a ton of kids complaining about how its “too easy”, “less skillful” or some other crap because strafting and gandhi hopping isn’t effective as it could be, they’re playing people who walk in straight lines etc.
Do you know what a Beta is? Well, if you don’t, it is a chance for developers to test the current settings of their product. In no way does it represent the final product, it’s just there for testing, for people to share their opinions on it.
The Beta hoppers are being used to test the settings. They can be adjusted, that’s the great thing about custom settings!
Be patient, give feedback, see where it goes, and then you can complain.
When the Reach Beta first came out, Boneyard Invasion started with DMRs, people complained, and then they fixed it the next day. It’s the first day of the Beta, give it time.
Yes I know what a beta is, they also gave us the no bloom gametype 2 weeks ago, we gave our feedback then based on us playing a ton of customs with it. They should have implemented different settings in the beta hoppers so “everyone” could see how it played, to see if they liked it, because most of these kids didn’t change the settings at all.
I would post this in the specified threads as well. It is a work in progress. They are still testing things out. Encourage your friends to leave feedback as well so 343 can make the best decisions it can.

I have, my friends have, a lot of people have. MLG has been testing a bunch, I’m sure they’ve given some input.
Not everyone checks this site, not everyone has had a chance to play the new updates. I certainly hadn’t bothered. So once again you=/=the majority or Reach players, and maybe, just maybe, they want more input than just yours.
That’s kind of the purpose of the Beta. Chillax broski, the full version doesn’t come out for a full month.

I never said I was the majority, or that “my input was law” it just so happens my input would make it play A LOT better, they have gotten enough feedback by a lot of different people, better players included to make zero bloom play well. Why they didn’t do it is beyond me.
Do you honestly think default settings are the way to go?
No duh this isn’t the final product but the fact that we basically had a “beta” for no bloom already, they should have changed the settings to actually see how well they played to the other people.
“The same” people that were complaining about the zero bloom gametype are still complaining now because the settings are the same.
They said these are not the final settings and they may add more gametypes to this playlist as time goes on. This is just the beginning. Also in the latest Sparkast they said they are working directly with MLG to give them eveything they can to have the Gametypes they want to use in their playlist.

Well thats good. No Bloom does not play well with default settings so I hope they will adjust the settings. Along with most maps aren’t built for No Bloom in mind or increased speed but thats on the community to do.
I’ve known they have been working with MLG for awhile now, Frankie’s posted in a thread on the MLG forums quite some time ago an said that they, 343 were working with MLG directly.

they typically ban every critisim of halo on these boards, thats why there is nothing but nut hugging on halo.xbox.com
go read mlg forums if you want legit feedback that has already been widely established.
they put in a zombie playlist before even allowing a playlist without armorlock. they don’t give a -Yoink-. they will try to sneak in default reach to please the bottom 90% of halo. this game is based on making everyone believe they are good at a title formerly known as competitive.

This isn’t identical to what came out two weeks ago. Also, nothing that we’ve played is the same from Halofest, again, this is all subject to change. Now that it is an option in multiplayer more people will play it. Too many people just ignore those pop ups. I’ve already played with countless people asking what TU Beta is.
Stop criticizing things you don’t understand, calm down and let things flow, Rome wasn’t built in a day.
As much as I would like to play ZB with “true default” settings, this is the ONE SLIM chance we have to show 343 that no-bloom can work in some regular playlists in addition to just MLG and customs. I for one am willing to suck it up for that opportunity.

Yeah it can work in regular playlists with some MINOR adjustments.
Why did you bring up MLG? It doesn’t have to be “MLG”.
You can’t expect to stuff anything and everything onto a map and expect it to work, things need some adjustments to play better.
> Typical bad kids are just yelling nonsense because of the derpsettings. Like they were 2 weeks ago, they didn’t change anything.
Along the same lines of criticism, no attacking, the whole “I’m smarter than you” game doesn’t do too well around here. The update has been out a matter of hours, you realize that when the gametype was released on the fileshare that only a small portion of the community downloaded it. Not near enough to get feedback on what adjustments should and shouldn’t be made.
Your “badkids” comment makes no sense at all, care to elaborate?

This better not be wasting my time, I’ll give it a listen.

They adjusted AL, even though I really dont notice it. Everything else is default reach…
